Treats & Treasures

19.3.06

Saturday was, like last week, mono-printing day. But this time, I stuck to a theme: birds. There are endless possibilities and the graphic effects can be so diverse, that I was glad I limited the scope a bit.


Today, J and I went house searching and I am so convinced now that I want to live in the center of Amsterdam (instead of the more peaceful yet less vibrant south where I live now). Preferably a canal house, with my own working space of course ;-) To look out over the canals, while I take a sip of my coffee. That would just be so cool - and inspiring!


The creative collaboration of J and me today is this mirror.
Me: finding the vintage frame, finding a glass atelier that would cut a mirror, glueing the mirror in the frame.
J: buying a shaving mirror at Ikea, deconstructing it, attaching the vintage framed mirror to some of the Ikea parts.
Tadaa, just how handy, yet stylish, is this movable make-up mirror!
