Featured + bags

Today I am featured on Eyelet Sage Studio's blog. It is an little interview. You can read it here.
I also want to thank Noeks for featuring me on her blog.

Last week I decided to participate in the Young Masters at Auction 2009 (ongekend.nu) This is an auction for new/young artists. The work will be exhibited for four days in several places in Amsterdam and on the last day the visitors can buy the work by offering the highest bid. You can see me here

Here are a few pictures of the bags I made. My fabrics arrived yesterday so today I am going to make some pouches =)

Brooches

Today I made three brooches for my Branch Naturals line. I had some wood slices and draw/painted my illustrations on it. I still have to varnish them. So it is protected against water and dirt.
It is made of wood and the image is made with a black pen and acrylpaint.
Still want to make a few with fabric. That is my next project. =)
I hope you like them, I know I do :p

Branch Naturals

Last week I've been working on some new things for my line. Next monday I have to show what I have until now (at school) for this project so I wanted to make some new things.
I started with this mug holder. I wanted the wood round the mug but that was not possible because the wood was to soft so I made two versions. One with my Branch Naturals logo and one with a green stripe.

Yesterday I made an other book. A few weeks ago I found this beautiful wooden onderleggers. I made a book of it with felt.
It turned out pretty nice. It is beginning to look like something but I still have to make a lot.
I hope the branch naturals shop is online in june!

Here are some pictures.

Doll Illustrations

A few months ago I made fabric friend dolls of myself and my best friend Merie. I thought it would be cool to make some illustrations of it. Before this project I never worked with illustrator so this is a complete new world for me. I also have experimented with the background. I really like the texture of rough wood.
