it might be too delicate
+ i bought some new fabrics
i'll show you next week

studio juju
timo wong
... got a nice e-mail from timo
i was fascinated with the temperature
device he designed
it's wireless and all the patients in the hospital
can be monitored in case of a hospital bacteria f.e.
it must be strapped around your belly or wrist
he works together with priscilla lui
to form studio juju
... now timo is an industrial designer ...
could you please design a nice vacuum cleaner
usable in europe ...
... just had to try

made a drop because it looked so beautiful
when i put some water on wool
...beauty comes in many forms
like in a wonderful documentary by kim longinotto
hold me tight let me go
about beautiful children
bed cover from h+m
...maybe beauty is something you can feel
not just see
it seems so to me

... dyeing yarn for brooke
has been an inspiring journey
learned so many new things
f.e. natural dyes are not only ph sensitive
but also heat sensitive
well i knew that but it is fascinating to watch
when you mix 3 different dyes
bought a book by j.n.liles
... very helpful from a technical
point of view
i'm waiting for the last skeins to dry up

... went to the filmmuseum at the vondelpark
they have these lounge benches ... it was great
top picture : an apartment around the corner
bottom : sage
... i should get back to work soon
combining it with hanging around in the park
is a good idea
+ 3191 evenings
have a lovely weekend !

... in a very optimistic mood i bought a pair of sandals
summer isn't over yet ...
we went to the sea in the hague and walked the pier
rebuild in the sixties
when the sand isn't very nice
you need lot's of entertainment
i guess
love the new humanoid collection
