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

Change indexpage

I changed the indexpage of my website www.strawbunny.nl This because I will launch my new line Branch Naturals in june 2009. I still have to make the webshop though :s. This will go with a little help of a friend. I am not really an webmaster. I am still looking for good software to use for my webshop. I want software that is not to difficult and were you can use your own lay-out. Maybe you know something...?

I hope it will going to look a bit like what the index page looks like..
Who can give me some tips and tricks??

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.

Pattern and Zurich

I am so exited because I just ordered 3inch of fabric with my own pattern at Spoonflower.com http://www.spoonflower.com/
This is a beautiful site for beginning designers. You can order a small amount of fabric with your own pattern/design and they ship all over the world.

Now I have to wait... that is not easy. =)

This is a part of the pattern


Tomorrow I am going to Zurich (Switzerland) for a school project. It is about communitiy art. We are going with a small group of people. The last few weeks I had contact with several people over the world. We talked about an art project that had to be made with the community. It also has to be nomanic art. So it has to be able to move. Next week my international group and I are going to work on this art project.
I never went to Zurich so I am very exited to see what kind of city it is.
See you next week. hopefully with some fantastic photos
