Last week Lolly Pop-up Store and flu-times

 It looks like ages that I came onto my blog but I was so busy with giving workshops, teaching, participating in different little projects that I forgot myself, my mind and my body. So there was some damage, I needed again an operation on my big toe and I really hope this was the last time my nail choosed to grow a little bit different then normal. Looks like he wanted to be creative too but after months of pain again the doctor teached him a lesson! Anyway...meanwhile I started recuperating of this little surgery a huge flu turned me into a worthless kid. Even worthless kids can paint! :) I finished this morning these 4 new brooches to bring them to the Lolly Pop-up Store in Antwerp! Damas y caballeros!!! 

The LAST days of the pop-up store are here! Go and get something unique, handmade and lovely!

All info you can get on their Facebook page. You have untill SATURDAY the 25th of february...yes THIS saturday! 

Dreaming of drawing something on a piece of paper. Let's draw a flu! :)

De Dikke Kat - Expo!

New brooches and a new Exhibition!

Of course Valentina (do you remember her?) was so happy to leave finally to Antwerp after being at home for months. 

So she welcomes you this time in De Dikke Kat  (The Fat Cat in English), Kasteelpleinstraat 26. I'm showing there my work together with two other artists. 

One of them, Anke De Potter, is a good friend and collegue at the academy where both of us are teaching arts.

Welcome for a warm coffee, latte, hot chocolate and so many more. Just sit down, relax and enjoy of our creations. x

Meanwhile the Lolly Pop-up store is still open and kicking!

Not even that far from De Dikke Kat! Perfect combination!
See you!

Thinking, dreaming, drawing...living

oooohhh...here I am. After some very busy weeks and finishing projects. Busy times aren't over yet but there is a little bit more air to breath more easily...and not to many thrilling deadline moments. One is waiting for next friday...the opening of anoter exhibition of my work meanwhile my new products are selling very well in the Lolly Pop-up store in Antwerp (more about that in the following days). 

The brooches are LOVED and I'm receiving so nice support from many people. That keeps me growing and going in what means LIFE for me! Creating every day something that touches me and hopefully so many other souls.

I want to wish all of my readers a sunny weekend with nice things to happen! Hear you!

Eldibujodelgato in Antwerp!

 And finally the LOLLY POP-UP STORE opened his doors friday evening! 

Such a warm feeling to be a part of this happening together with more then 40 other designers.
(Play to win a goodiebag on the Lolly Pop-up store Facebookpage!)

I had the most busy week of this still very young year.
 Preparing all the new brooches, bookmarks, postcards and prints for this shop was only one of the deadlines I had to counter but lucky I am I could bring each one to a very nice end.

Enjoy the new product-pics I made for my Etsy-shop of the bookmarks. At this moment the brooches are all for sale in the store in Antwerp. I decided to make every one of them 100% unique and I will never copy one. I go on with the tradition to give them a Quechua-name with a special meaning. Every cat with his/her own view and caracter...my little boys and girls! Glad to sell them in this wonderful little store, although little...but full of the most different and refreshing designs and nice things. If you are close pop in some hours!!! That's what you will need! Next friday another post about the designers in the store!
WELCOME!
And a huge thanks to An and Heidi who had a dream someday and made a reality of it today!
We can be all so proud to be part of that dream!

Happy dream number 2012!

Especially made for all of you to wish you a very happy new year and so many good and nice new adventures for 2012. This picture is made on beach 'Paal 17'on the Isle of Texel (The Netherlands) at 11:20 pm on 31th of December with some help of the moon, my little headlight and of course the best photographer in the world :)

Enjoy some snapshots from our last day in 2011, with a magic beginning at breakfast, whimsical houses in Oosterend and a crazy cat, sleepy beaches,  the birth of a calf home where we stayed with Klaas and Riet Tjepkema and an enormous delicious end in Restaurant 'De Luwte' in the little capital of the Isle, Den Burg

Brooches x 3

 If someone thought that I was sleeping? :)

I have so much work to do, finishing this year in the museum with the lay-out of the ABC-book, remember? and later more;), closing the last classes in the academy of this year with nice christmas-party's, putting my tree, thinking of making my christmas cards, I have still 3 days...preparing these new brooches for my shop and working hard for enough stuff/ cards/ prints for the pop-up store in Antwerp in wich I will be featured and an exhibition in a coffee bar in Antwerp too in February. Don't think I will have time for vacation...however...I'm looking forward to some relaxing days watching snowflakes and drinking hot chocolate.

This three brooches are the first of a huge family. They are made of Polymer clay, handpainted and 100% unique! Soon in my ETSY-shop!
There are still calendars too for someone who is in search of a nice gift! x

My first brooch ♥

Dreamed since ages of it to start modelling my own brooches but I'm still searching from wich base I can start. This one is made of white Polymer clay and it feels comfortable and surely not heavy to wear. I made an imprint and based on that form I brought a 'cat' (how strange no? :) to life in acrylics.  Love her already but still some finishing work to do before I can call it a brooch! What do you think...do I make a family for this cat? Tell me!

El gato Frank

 Last week I joined a workshop 'making your own puppet' in the workplace of Theater Froefroe in Antwerp. First I thought to make a girl like those ones I'm used to draw but suddenly she turned out into a cat and she became more HE :) With a block of foam, scissors, cutters and strong glue we started creating our 'thing'. Yesterday I took my creation to the kids of my saturday-class and they gave him the name Frank. Why Frank is a very good question! Zappa? Stella? Ghery? Anyway...don't try to guess. There are kids for! :) I will try from now to use our 'Frank' to tell them about painters, artists and creators from all over. :) When Frank is talking they are so quiet ;)))
