My hair is growing longer. And at the time it is long enough, I probably want to cut it short again. I always do.
These girls have really pretty hair, (though the one at the bottom could get rid of those split ends ;-) but can you image how much time it takes them to wash and groom it?
Just love the old pictures!

trees in the dark

Took these a few days ago, after coming home from work.
Dark and quiet outside, I was freezing my fingers off!
But ever tried taking a photo with gloves on?

I need to have this handshadow book. It would be nice to, unexpectedly, show off some shadow animals once in a while.

Cold. It really is winter, we haven't had such a snowy winter in a long time I think... It looks so pretty and the sounds of the streets are softer. The only thing is, I am so so cold all the time! Just not used to it. But looking like a mummy I dare to go outside.

Painted this wooden box (for playing cards) last year. But forgot to take pictures of it because it wasn't varnished yet. I still cannot find the right product to finish gouache paintings. Any ideas? The acrylic ones leave a sort of white trace on gouache.

It is a pretty winter this year, cold but beautiful.

Snowy boats. View from the Labelibellule studio, were Nordeville has been working today.

Flappergirl

Which hat is most suitable for her?

My 'kerstpakket' (not sure what that is in English,
but I got it from my new employer as a Christmas present)

Trying some different things with ink.
I hope you like it.

Just felt like drawing flowers, must have something
to do with winter. It's so cold outside!
And that creep at the top, well...

Top: A drawing in ink by me. I am trying passe-partouts, but this girl gets a bigger one than shown on the photo.
Bottom: The footstool at my studio. I love to read the Italian Vogue or children's books like Struwwelpeter there, when I need a break.

These envelopes are laser-cut by the artists J.K. Keller. Looks great, although the mailman will probably read your personal messages ; )

These pictures were taken from a hot air balloon, it was a great experience!

Jan Lievensstraat

This is the result of the project I have been working on lately, it's called 'Dichter in de buurt'. I was asked to create 5 works inspired by the 'Diamantbuurt', a part of Amsterdam. I am so glad it is finally finished now! The people of the Jan Lievensstraat were very kind and helpful, I loved working with them. Until October 24 these paper works can be seen in the Jan Lievensstraat, Amsterdam.

terrible me

Sorry everyone. I haven't posted anything for a very long time... Been on holiday and I'm currently working on a project with a pretty tight deadline. As soon as I'm finished, I will post some new work on my blog. Please have patience and hope to see you here soon!
