Small collection of , things hanging around...in my picture file.
This post for me is an exercise in throwing things together....not in a careless way
but to keep things spontaneous...not to serious...
You need that to create anything really

These drawings are from last years collection by Andrea Ayala Closa
The pictures are from her graduation show at the Flanders Fashion Institute
From all this years graduates , Andrea to me is the one who managed to tell her own story after reading all the stories from the past.
If you look at the other graduates you can see that the school puts much emphasis on knowing the history of costumes/clothing
Yesterday...
we went to the opening of the new library here in Amsterdam
Here's a very long video they made of the official opening on Saturday.
This is a great view from the ground floor , behind this were the escalators which made you feel like you were in a luxurious department store....where unfortunately you have to bring the goods back
When I was 6 years old I was strongly against that idea... I didn't want to bring back books that I loved..... after a while I saw the benefits..... it's not practical to want to own everything you like. I hope this new library will grow on me the way my childhood library did
Architect : Jo Coenen & Co
Saw these at Play Mountain a store in Japan
They are made by Caleb Siemon and are from a previous collection
Excellent choice by Play Mountain I have to say
oh....and I'm taking part in the hoping for happy accidents {small} books swap and my swap partner is IRINA from Milchmädchen....we haven't met yet , but that will happen soon...
Milchmädchen means something like : Girl who serves milk
which is called melkmeisje in Dutch , it's also the name of this painting
Enjoy what ever you're doing....and I'll see you next week :)
once in a while...
This is awfully tiny....I'm sorry
but it still looks very appealing
by textile artist Pasi Välimaa
My hand dye has finally arrived from Birmingham...
and in relation to something else i'm working on : this looks like a great book
shown by Nuria at Inkthread letterpress studio
Gorgeous isn't it....maybe one of you knows who made these
The only thing I know is that I cut it out from an elle decoration U.K.
a couple of years ago
Had to think of this picture from Debra/Culiblog shown on Beton&Garten
