Dairy farm

Today we visited our friends who live on a dairy farm.
As a small child I regularly went to a dairy farm with my mom to buy fresh milk. I remember these moments well; the smell on the farm, the cows, the farmer... good memories...
It was great to spend time with our friends today, to chat, to have tea and to milk the cows (well, I only watched;-)

Explosion of creativity

I shared my new Ecoline with my boys (only the two oldest;-) and we had a great time playing with it. They never worked with it before so it kind of gave an explosion of creativity!





You'll have to wait to see what I worked on...

Amsterdam

Last Friday I spend a day in Amsterdam.
I enjoyed wandering around and spotting beauty, taking some time to write and draw and meeting a good friend for a coffee (and orangejuice). A beautiful day in a beautiful city!

Ecoline

One of the presents I got for my birthday was a book voucher, so I went to the local bookshop and discovered a box of Ecoline on top of a shelf! Great! In my mind I saw already some great things I could do with it. So I started...

Clock

Last weekend we spend a late afternoon with some good friends and their children in their garden. It was such beautiful wheater!
My friend is a collector and has collected lot's of stuff. One of his newest discoveries is this big old factory clock.
I love old clocks. Funny, I don't know why... Pieces of art, moving, with a history, a story, capturing time...




(this last photo isn't taken by me, but I can't remember where I got it from)

Another wolf story

I found this short animation (in 4 parts) on youtube. A beautiful film about a boy and a wolf... I love it! When I was younger I seriously thougth about studying animation to make films like these. One of the most beautiful parts of being an artist (or human being) is to emagine and create. To travel and enjoy the beauty in new worlds or stories...

(unfortunately films were removed on Youtube...)

birthday gift

Today we celebrated my birthday. This is a beautiful gift I got from my 2 oldest beautiful children.

They both made also another card and Micha even made an self invented game, with a little 7 mm bal and two pieces of folded paper and wood.
Isn't that awesome!
