MARLIZ & SUSAN

Last night i was invited to the opening of the exhibition of Marliz Frencken (see my earlier post) and Susan Drummen in 'Het Valkhof museum' in Nijmegen. The works of Marliz are attractive to me as they are sweet and decorative at first sight but the longer you look the more your fantasy is aroused to build your own story around the little statues..She told us she uses a special kind of resin to fix them and keep them from falling apart.

Susan Drummen was a nice surprise, for i adore her groundworks with colored precious stones, metal and glass. The photo's i took are a fraction of the works as they are framed by the photo ofcourse but in reality they have a special effect in the space of the museum. I recommend you to have a look for yourselves! The exhibition will be shown until the 10th of june.

SHOES..

Shoes are usually not allover printed, that's why these ones...,apparently an idea from Paul Smith, are absolutely suitable as an inspiring 'graphic' on my pinboard!

OLD PICTURES

 Love these old pictures! (my mom when she was 19)

REAL JOY

The funny thing about designing is that, while you are chucking some more wood on the fire having -15C outside, your mind has no trouble switching from one season to another. Wondering off to new spring collections and their fresh colors and new combinations is a REAL JOY i can tell ya! My desk full of new inspirational color hues..

CHECK!

These beautiful pastel & fluo accented 'allover check' bedcovers from Scholten en Baijings do smile back at me everytime i look at them!

WINTER AFTER ALL...

Some shots i made yesterday in the area around my house. Holland covered in snow...a present for me and my camera!
