Soon I will work in a totally diferent atmosphere as I will leave belgium for two months to return to the family in Peru. Also my still growing room where I create many of the 'el dibujo del gato-drawings', I will say goodbye for that period. Time to re-inspirate myself. Although, before leaving, still some things to finish, like a poster for a festival in our very charming street.
The name of my blog isn't just some name. My love for cats in general is huge. May'be I was a cat in another life, may'be my name isn't coincidence, may'be I will return as a cat in a next life, who knows?This is Toulouse, the cat from our neighbours...she is very charming like all the cat-creatures and inspires me every day!
She unfolded her love like everyday, although only some people really noticed that, she would never give up ...
A very personal card I made this morning for my dad who is coming to enjoy my pancakes I made for him...We celebrate here today Fathers' day so to all the daddy's in the world...enjoy your day when it comes!
She decorated the giftpaper with the shirt inside...although her eyes are very creepy she has a heart of gold! :)
Allemaal superbedankt voor die schone woorden...ik heb er gewoon zoveel plezier aan gehad om het te maken en sinds vanavond heeft het truitje zijn bestemming bereikt en het is ontvangen met een hartverwarmende gil...ik ben zo gelukkig!
Thanks to everyone for those nice comments...I just enjoyed it so much and since this evening this piece of creation has arrived on his destination and it felt very good!
I don't want to tell to much this time, more news about all these cats in the next days...one thing I can say : I'm really enjoying making IT... :)
Very little time to draw these days although I'm very busy with teaching art to my 'little ones', like I did today. Better then a bad drawing of me is a marvellous drawing of one of these little ones of 8 years old! Still they are not finished 'the dogs' but with this action of giving them a body in an historious theme it seems to me that we will have such a funny result!
Yesterday was a world full of flamenco, horses, churros, paella, and lots of dancing shoes between the smell of fried fish and chicken, overwhelmed by the minted flavour of thousand mojitos...what a world, what a sunday...all that to forget that boring morning of european elections!...Viva la feria Andaluza! Muchas gracias a nuestros queridos amigos S. y J. para esta tarde tan bonito y ...rrrico!
I'm just searching my way in drawing and painting over 'gesso'. It feels very good but still I'm not 100% happy with my results...to detailistic just doesn't work on that surface... but one thing is sure...she is so wild of the cherry's she bought today...she's craving for it!
For my dad especially I made his very own businesscards for his selfmade 'trainworld' in his garden. A very early fathersday-gift and he gave me that hug like only fathers can do.... :-)
I cannot think away of that disaster that happend with the flight that didn't arrived this morning in Paris coming from Rio. The more I think, the more I am imagining what happend and what's happening now on this moment. Are there still some peoples alive? Can somebody hear or see them?... It makes me feel soooo cold...
Today we celebrated our parks...not some national parks, because there aren't almost some of them overhere in Flanders but just our city-parks that gives us some nature-feeling between all the bricks. In the city close where I grewed up they organize every year a huge festival with theater and puppets -animation. Together we made these heads of some brown paper...just so a simple idea but with lots of possibilities! My stork is so happy above his head!
Since many time I made a box again from some nice papers. I LOVE to make my own books or boxes with all kinds of delightfull papers I have stocked in my room or that I buy. This one is a surprise for a young boy. Inside the box he will have his own bookplates, we call them 'ex-libris', to personalize all his books. His mum had a great idea and she asked me to make that special gift for her son.
She is counting the days to return to her second homeland...
Since some days ants are ruling our house! At specific hours the queens and the drones fly away 
While giving a demonstration in my classroom... I created this without thinking...freestyling!
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/
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...:)
No drawings today, only delicious sweeties I made this morning for the loviest mama in the world ;)
VIVA MAMA / GELUKKIGE MOEDERDAG
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... :)
A hard wind outside on a sunny day while listening to Duffy...
Meanwhile I cannot find enough time to draw a piece of my day I took
Yesterday a birth, tomorrow a wedding...time to design my own cards.
