necklace by karin seufert



alison/6.5 st received the 'you make my day' award....twice
and when you get it you have to give it to 10 others
i was one of those 10... thank you alison
we share a love for fibers and threads

let's pretend the award is karin seufert's necklace
i know a lot of you who would be very happy to receive it
but i have to single out just 10 and i have more than 200
blogs that all have the ability to inspire me in different ways

i googled for make my day i got 186000 hits
so it's spreading itself rather quick

somewhat in order of appearance :

someone on computerlove
called sam weber the most influential
illustrator of today.... which made me curious
sometimes you need to look at things
that don't appeal to you wright away.
At this point i only like the illustration above...
here's an interview with him

and i like the picture of the fruit bowl
because it has the warmth of silver
it's made of inox
by ligne roset

thank you again for your all your comments
happy to see you next week !

just love that building
and the store that's in it

+ my new shoes

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 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

paper + volume








top picture is a beautiful one from buaisou
and that's not the only one

the chairs are made by yael mer
she created paper shells and filled them with
expandable foam and then removed the paper shell

i very much like the shapes
but my heart goes out to the paper shell

a block print by klaas gubbels
from 2006 but there's 50 years of work
this one is nice too

and i'm in luv with this cup
i would like to see more ceramics like that

+ some sunshine....
it's very dark and wet over here

apron by teresa cole

sometimes i need a bit of color....

and i was looking for things involving ink
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 !
