inspiring nature finds

can't help myself
a walk is not a walk
when I
haven't gathered
gorgeous nature finds
I found on my way


back home
I tried
something new
a white background...
It suits me :-)

These textures and colors
look very tempting
and inspire me
So I unburried my polymer clay stock
and maybe I'll try
to make some beads
inspired
by these finds.
I will post you soon
with the results ;-)


t'is sterker dan mezelf
als ik dingen
vind
met een mooi vorm of kleur
dan moeten die mee
naar huis
een boswandeling
is geen boswandeling geweest
zonder vondsten

het is niet mijn gewoonte
maar
heb het toch gedaan:
fotograferen op een witte achtergrond
bevalt me wel

Geïnspireerd door de kleuren en vormen
diepte ik mijn fimo ofte polymeerklei op...
we zien wel
of het iets wordt....
(bij Lotte demey kan je trouwens terecht voor een cursus juweeltechnieken met polymeerklei, zelf nog niet gevolgd, maar ik denk wel een aanrader!)

what the postman brought....

A big package arrived today...

oooo, hmmm, yummie leather scraps (thanks Hilde!)
can't wait to start this order,

but first things first
some other packages need to be send
by the end of this week...

I miss the sun
we had in France!

on a rainy day

so.....what to do on a rainy day....

packing lots of orders
to send to:
New York
Texas,
Cincinatti,
Massachussets,
Mineapolis
UK,
Herentals,
Assebroek, :-)

and cutting leather brooches ;)
(for sale here my shop)

back home

inspiration in/from a shell

it happens me
always
when I am on holidays

after a few days
I am so relaxed
that
inspiration comes to me
easily

then I am happy I brought some things
to create with
in this case
lots of
cotton yarn


I guess
I just have more time
to notice
all these little things
around me
I have them back home too
but there I am mostly
busy
doing other things

My youngest daughter Mies
found this
tiny empty shell

just look at it
a little bit closer
and
discover
how nature
makes the most
awesome colorcombinations...

and
by coincidence
I found these gorgeous handmade Raku buttons
from a ceramics artist
at Sarlat
can't wait
to finish
this necklace
back home!
