Where is the cat in me?

Long live the 'after-sun'

Cracked

zoo - textures

Quicky

Contagious

Since some days ants are ruling our house! At specific hours the queens and the drones fly away

from their nest and fly against the door that gives entry to the garden...they have to go in the air to make more ande more and more ants!

...The house is filling up with all of them! My personal contagious disease / disaster...

Any tips to make them move from our little peacefull house?

Ants everywhere!

Teaching

While giving a demonstration in my classroom... I created this without thinking...freestyling!

Baby K

Since yesterday the zoo of Antwerp is waiting for the final birth of the first elephant ever born in here in Belgium. Everybody who wants can watch live to the mother and te rest of the family who are expecting their baby on : http://www.baby-olifant.be/
The zoo promised that every belgian family will receive a babycard, designed by a child, when the little one has born...so I'm really hoping for that! This is my interpretation of the future elephant...he will be the first elephant-king of Belgium...
She or he will have a name beginning with 'K'. The mother is an asian elephant so the name has to be asian-orientated. 'K'athy isn't that asian I guess :) Any suggests?

Some hands

Ginkgo ZENnnnn !

Pattern 'Pollo'

Tomorrow I have to teach lesson with a link to fashion. So, I'm very crazy of making stamps as I am a graphic-girl. I start thinking and the wonderfull blog of Lara Brehm inspired me to try making patterns with stamps on textile and later on create something out of that piece of hand-printed textile. But so far, never give a lesson without trying it yourself ;). This one I tried very fast with a drawing of some chicken-kind things and some clicks in Photoshop. Now straight to the pupils...:)

Drawings with flour and cream / Dibujos con harina y crema

No drawings today, only delicious sweeties I made this morning for the loviest mama in the world ;)

No he dibujado hoy, sólo he preparado en la mañana estos dulces tan ricos para la mamá mas cariñosa del mundo ;)

Viva Mama!

To all the mothers of this world...Happy Mother's day!
Para todas las mamás de este mundo ...Felíz dia de la Madre!

VIVA MAMA / GELUKKIGE MOEDERDAG

Parade

I still have to remind those easter-evenings in Alghero, Sardinia.
The candles in the hands of elderly woman, the bands playing a dramatic melody, they left me speechless...
Todavia recuerdo estas noches de Semana Santa en Alghero, Sardegna.
Las velas en las manos de las mujeres, las bandas tocando una melodia dramatica, todo eso me ha dejado sin palabras...

Hierarchy

Time flies...and I played like a whole week with this Illustration-Friday-theme in my head...I couldn't think away from the huge animal that would be dominated by a stupid thiny mouseman...so this is that. That's the way I dreamed it... :)

Save me ...

Teaching Art

Meanwhile I cannot find enough time to draw a piece of my day I took

the time to upload new images on another blog of me.
http://www.kathydewitdko.blogspot.com/
There I collect some pictures of my lessons so the parents and the artists themselves can have a digital overview of their results...of course you are welcome there also...
I try to show them how brightfull you can color your life... :) in all kinds of senses. Enjoy their work, their smiles, their creations made by hands between 6 and 8 years old !

It's mine! / Es mio!

Happy SU(n)GARDAY!

Making cards

Yesterday a birth, tomorrow a wedding...time to design my own cards.
I really enjoy to make some layout and see them as prints. Lots of my drawings I never printed before. Choosing a right paper, thick enough to stand on his own...nice to do and it gives me a lot of ideas...

FINN

My best friend gave birth today to her first child. It's a babyboy and he is named Finn. She told me on the telephone that he looks like a strong heavy boy, ...so are 'the Finns'....FINN was my finishing project on the academy of arts in Ghent...about an Irish Giant who beated a Scottish Giant on the Giants' Causeway in Northern Ireland...a wonderfull story, still unpublished but since today alive again!
So happy for them!

Fondue of chocolat in that same paradise

I invited mostly all of my art-students to the central park of the city to enjoy their 'Healthy Day'.
Of course we thought to eat fruit but because we are Belgians, the chocolate is never far away.
So for those who doesn't know 'fondue of chocolat' : You heat some liquid chocolate, choose some piece of fruit drop it into a dark and hot swimming pool!...mmmm...they all enjoyed it!

Lazy saturday / Sabado osioso

Impossibility

It's very simple...a head full of hair, long hair and some sciccors...and cut! My hair felt down on the floor, the girl had to laugh, it seemed to her like one kilogram...I couldn't watch it, that hair was still smelling to that island I recently discovered...it is gone, the island and my hair.
But happy with the result, new power for a new summertime! It seemed to me just impossible... to cut, not that summertime :)

La bella Sardegna !

CLOSED / CERRADO

All things are packed, I'm dreaming of an unknown country...time to explore now Sardinia!
I come back with my luggage full of new drawings in one week!
BESOS!

Talisman TUMI

Since more then 3 years she is every day with me. TUMI we call her. One day she flewed in a package over the ocean straight into my arms...then a nice story began between a boy from Peru and a girl from Belgium...and Tumi? She's saving the love between them ...

Hace más de 3 años ella está cada día conmigo. TUMI se llama. Un día ha volado sobre el gran oceano hasta mis brazos...este día empezó el cuento sobre un chico de Peru y una chica de Bélgica...y Tumi? Ella guarda el amor entre los dos...
