i was so excited that i couldn't wait for my silkscreen
to arrive , so i tried out semi transparent paint
and just brush it on.
what i like in the blue one are the pencil lines
and i had to think of this drawing i have.
coincidentally kelly showed a picture from a tablecloth
yesterday by dora jung
the bottom one is my favorite , i get easily distracted
when i use color so that's for a later stage
and with transparent paint it doesn't seem
to lay on top of the fabric so much
my discoveries so far....
▄▀
photograph 1 : 'dancing to...so' by soft cell
photograph 2 : 'dancing to..bizarre love triangle' by new order
i found katja mater via anygivenname
and what i like about it is , that it is a performance
but only a small time frame so that you can imagine
what is happening +you don't hear the music
saw this book last weekend in a bookshop ....it's beautiful
i'm off buying fabric , on wednesday my silkscreen
should arrive...it may take another week
fingers crossed

and textiles
´
'
these are so sweet by margot barolo
they come in big sizes too
and a beautiful bowl
via jurgen lehl
i'm thinking about showing my things here too
or maybe i'll create a separate place for it
because grijs is so much about great works by others
but on the other hand i know you wouldn't mind....
Happy weekend girls and boys
and many thank yous' for your continues support !
╞

ingredients : clay wood rope and melted wax

yohji yamamoto exhibition at momu
you can find these pictures in the archives of pretty pretty
when we were there we saw the bernhard wilhelm exhibtion
those pictures can be found there too
but what i didn't get to see were his beautiful dresses
so i was very happy with stefano/ELMANCO
who found this great icelandic fashion store
KronKron
that sells bernhard wilhelm , love to look at this one
i'm looking forward to a year of evenings
▬
....okay 7 random things
about myself because i got
tagged by janine
practice makes...it easier
i'ld much rather like to talk
about random design facts
like : did you know adolf hitler
designed the beetle ?
but that was not the question
so here are 7 things :
_ i don't bite my nails or eat out of my nose
out of pure curiosity i tried those out once
i twist my hair instead
_ curiosity is a powerful tool to discover new things
so i like to look at things
which is moving towards making things as well
_ this year i want to explore fabric dying and printing
_ there's one thing i feel very strongly against and that
is the death penalty
_ i never ask myself what the meaning or the point
of life is , some questions are to big for my head
_i can't see very well at this moment ,
i'm having trouble reading and typing
this may last for a month or so
and then my vision will slowly come back
_ in antwerp we got served some eggnog and a little bit of
whipped cream with our cafe latte , i really liked the combination
And i'm tagging :
ruth anne /about some things
ashley rose helvey
bree/applejacks
czina/constructive laziness
tessa/insei
k./halcyon days
maïze
i have a new tag in mind :
what have been the best decisions you've made
in life so far , but if you don't like it stick to the 7 random things
good luck ! And feel free to not participate
Happy weekend !
.:
the boys from buro vormkrijgers decided as of this year
to go their separate ways
so this garden chair can be found on david keunes' website
the sputnik table went to sander mulder
mens' scarf via mousses
+ maemuudesignworks changed into
tastsuyamaemura
really like his opening picture
++ i got tagged by janine so i'll post on that tomorrow

i like the cover of this book , saw it laying in a shop window
next to yohji yamamoto's dream store in antwerp

and when i went googling for it , amazon recommended
this book , like the cover as well and the content probably too
olafur eliasson

top picture is by morita haruna
who collects metal objects
and then photographs/exhibits them
found in this gallery and more over here
felt necklace by donna wilson via by trico
just love them together and it says something
about how i view jewelry :
as beautiful little sculptures
because i never wear any jewelry
although i haven't landed yet in the new year
i do have a very good feeling about things to come
happy weekend!
`.
i don't know about you , but i'm still trying to land
in the new year
this picture was with me the whole time
it's a vintage piece of hand dyed fabric used as a mosquito net
via this shop
and these 3944 pictures are a pure delight
they say : go to paris
it will be a slow transition into 2008
didn't spend any time googling for things
more slow and simple tomorrow
