deze dames doen leuke dingen met oude spullen...
Noordt is opgericht door Kathleen Opdenacker en Marietje De Koster, die al jaren in de wijk Antwerpen-Noord wonen, een oude volksbuurt waar meer dan 130 nationaliteiten naast elkaar wonen. Met hun creaties blazen ze nieuw leven in oude spullen.
Net zo geloven ze dat dit met hun buurt gebeurt als er maar genoeg mensen geloven in het potentieel. De buurt heeft veel te bieden: in de talrijke stoffenwinkels, falinghallen en veilinghuizen vinden ze de grondstoffen voor hun project. Aan de basis van ieder ontwerp ligt steeds een vondst en dan volgt de rest bijna vanzelf.
Look what these ladies create from old trown away stuff.

red& blue&black
Red and Blue
The past week
has been filled with lots of work
preparing for the fairs...
some of the things
I have been working on
is my Frida collection (you can find some other designs in this series here)
I mostly use the following materials in this series
- red handmade roses
- turquoise stones
- small ebony wooden beads
- vintage japanese petites glass stones
- coral stones
- the sterling silver findings have been oxidized, which gives a matte black effect.
Red& black
I don't know why,
but I also was in a black and red mood,
the past days...
has it something to do with Halloween? ;-)
All these new earrings are in my shop already (just click on the pictures)

shop update
I just listed new Fleurs Fossiles in my shop.
you can go to the shop by clicking on the pictures :-)
ok, it's not the time of the year to launch dandelions, I guess ....
but
with a little bit
of imagination
it can be an ice flower,
and that suits perfect
this wintertime
if you want to stay tuned about my new designs and the fairs I will attend, then you can be my fan on Facebook :-) I keep you updated there about Fleurfatale give-aways too!
My creative workspace
sigh......
my workroom is a mess....
and I am afraid
it will be not else
for the upcoming weeks and months...
November en December Fair's here I come!
you can find some other creative spaces at Kootoyoo's blog

prince and princess
Mies tekent een prins en prinses,
Alles,
maar dan ook alles
komt zoveel later
bij een kind met een beperking,
het is soms verdraaid
lastig
andere kinderen
te zien vooruitgaan
als een sneltrein...
Maar als Mies een mijlpaal bereikt
is het hier driedubbel feest :-)
Mies draws a prince
and a princess
A child with a disability
needs so much time
for almost everything....
Sometimes
it is quite difficult
to see how other kids
learn so fast.
But when Mies reaches a milestone
we celebrate more then ever!

Les Fleurs Fossiles
Sometimes
I feel I have
to spoil myself
this time with a workshop!
(polymer techniques with teacher Lotte Demey)
I needed a little bit
creative space
for me (as september was totally filled with family and school stuff)
I was inspired me to make these 'stone' alike cabochons:
This adjustable fossile stone ring is in my shop now.
and
of course
a new collection is born:
Les Fleurs fossiles:)
these handformed stones are imprinted with dandelions and other flowers and leaves.
tell me
what would you like the most: brooches, rings or earstuds?
The earstuds are in my shop now!
in the picture
you get a glipse of my new haircut (another thingie I spoiled me with!) :-)
