Colourful canvas

Sometimes you just need to create for the sake of creating. I have an art journal that I use for this purpose, but I haven’t cracked it open for quite some time now. I was really beginning to feel a need to play with inks, paints and Glimmer Mists, so I decided that it would…  |  read more »

Magazine inspired

I love magazines: I love to read them, look at them and… I especially like to flip through them, looking for ideas! One of the most inspiring magazines I know is the French Marie Claire Idées:

I buy this magazine, even-though my French is not very good and I never actually make any of the projects…  |  read more »

I wear my heart on my sleeve.

Being a really terrible hoarder as I’m sure most of us are, I’ve managed to hoard a huge collection of different quilting fabrics.  I no longer quilt but I do try to incorporate these fabrics into my mixed media projects and one of these projects recently was to make cuff bracelets. 

These are so easy to…  |  read more »

Colorful minibook

Every once in a while my brother and I go on these ‘adventures’. Last month we went to shop for a new pair of glasses, but instead of buying the glasses, we walked along an amazing sculpture route in the middle of Amsterdam! I love these kinds of unexpected excursions and I wanted to create…  |  read more »

On Repeat

I regularly craft at a friends house and although I really love it, it can be a bit of a challenge too. It’s always a struggle to know what supplies to take with you (in my case: at the last minute…). And even if I manage to bring all the right stuff, I usually have…  |  read more »

Just because….

Whenever I have some free time the first thing I reach for is my art journal.  I love  art journaling  as it’s the best place to play and try out new techniques or materials with no restrictions, rules or deadlines. I can truly feel free to create.
Here I’d like to show you a few of…  |  read more »
