new plates

samples of new plates arrived. What do you think?

I´m a big fan of Ana Maraž art and happy that an original etching of hers also lives in my home.

Sunday

todays program against the grey weather depression:
a Sunday walk and listening to lots of great music on Fees blog

Hope you enjoy your weekend

greetings from the cave

at least that´s how the back part of the studio sometimes feels


 a strange week comes to an end. I made everything and nothing - not so satisfying

at least he is standing on his feet now




Project [Call for Creative Contributions]: 100 book covers to fight illiteracy

Nice to see that the range of organic fabrics from Harmony Art is growing

weekend pleasures

hey there, hope you enjoy your weekend.

it´s T H E weekend of the year for this region at least for those with the carnival gene, which I´m obviously lacking

instead I took a trip to the rummage and adopted some nice pieces for almost nothing.
- 2 chairs, not sure from which decade, maybe fifties/sixties (?) anyway I like the shape of armrests
- a little etagere/cake stand
- a small mirror with velvet covered back and golden lace
- and a large pinboard with a strong wooden frame (a little corner of the board reflects in the mirror)

also in the mirror: todays easy peasy 10 minutes craft project:
a holder for earrings, made from wooden sticks, cord and wooden beads

love this Hula Hoop Rug  and makes me think of Annes great Rag Rug

nice articel about bastisRIKE in the current Living at home magazine

these days

would so love to see this film about outsider artist Henry Darger and his fantastic work,
but it seems not easy to get. Has anyone seen it?

Yesterday I watched "Gerhard Richter Painting". Liked it very much

in the mail

looking at this little birdiealways makes me giggle. Isn´t it the cutest?
It´s from Lidar. She also sent me a magnet for my fridge so I never will forget to breath




and this great goalkeeper card standing next to a postcard from sweet Gigi 
and some lovely photo sets from Nicole

Because I enjoy the blog and art of Sandra Juto very much I got myself this nice print fromher shop

Thank you all so much for your amazing art that is bringing me so much joy!


Weekends already around the corner again. How time flies.
Have a good time lovelies!

another screenprinting attempt...

 after talking with Anne about screenprinting this week, it was time to give it another try today....
I made a screen from a wooden stretcher, a piece of small meshed polyester curtain from the fabric store
and tape.
For bringing my image onto the screen I used screen drawing fluid and screen filler. A cardboard envelop
was my substitute for a squeegee.

Not perfect yet, but with more practice it could work at least for simple designs.

If you like to try it too, here you find a detailed tutorial with a nice printing result

Enjoy your weekend, lovelies!
