New job
Vanaf 1 mei heb ik een nieuwe fulltime baan dus wat minder tijd om creatief bezig te zijn. Het bloed kruipt toch waar het niet gaan kan, dus tussen de bedrijven door ben ik toch aan het borduren. Voor mij werkt het het best als het een combinatie van materialen is heb ik al gemerkt. Alleen borduurwerk vind ik vaak saai worden. Dit is een combinatie van gesmolten landbouw vlies, puff paint en borduursteken.
Since 1 may I got a new fulltime job so less time to do something creative. But in between I do some embroidery. For me it works best if it's a combination of materials is I have noticed. Embroidery only I often find boring. This is a combination of melted agriculture fleece, puff paint and embroidery stitches.

Help
Hellup, dit is zo buiten mijn comfort zone, dit ben ik niet! Gistermiddag de hele middag bezig geweest maar dit is veel te realistisch voor mij, ik hou van abstract! Dus heb ik een ander stuk polyester gepakt met puff wat ik een tijd geleden heb gemaakt en ben daar op gaan borduren......dit zit meer in de richting....
Hellup, this is so beyond my comfort zone, this is not me! Spent all afternoon yesterday afternoon but this is way too realistic for me, I love abstract! So I took another piece polyester with puff what I've made some time ago and went on with the embroidery ... ... This is more in the direction ....
Puff
Allright, now something complete different because allthough I love the embroidery, there are more challenges. If anyone would ask me what my favorite paint is I would deffinately say: Puff paint. I use it from the day that Trapsuutjies start to sell it and I am still enjoying it. I still do experiments with puff, thicker layers, tinner layers, more heat, less heat, let it dry first or not, colour it before applying or afterwords......When I think I knew it all, I discover something new again. This piece is the base of my new embroidery, it is a polyester with puff and machine stitching. I am now cherching for a soft background, probably felt and do some hand embroidery between the holes, if I succeed off course. to be continued...

Embroidery
Nu Annette al wat foto's heeft laten zien van waar we op dit moment mee bezig zijn zal ik die van mij ook maar laten zien :-) Uiteraard zitten er toch ook nog twee machine stukken bij.......
Now that Annette showed her pieces on Facebook, I will show you my pieces as well :-) Although I love the hand embroidery pieces I had to do some machine embroidery as well.

Time flies
De tijd vliegt werkelijk, voor je het weet ben je een paar weken verder…. Ik ben momenteel weer aan zoveel dingen tegelijk bezig en toch lijkt het alsof ik niets afmaak voor mijn eigen gevoel. Ik heb een nieuwe schildersezel gekocht een paar weken geleden en ben dit keer aan iets groots begonnen. Ook ben ik met meerdere boeken tegelijk bezig en het lijkt net of ik de puntjes maar niet op de i krijg. Winterdip??!
Time really
flies, before you know it a few weeks pasts……At the moment I am working on so
many things at the same time and yet it seems that I complete none. I bought a
new Adjustable Easel a couple of weeks ago and I
started something big this time. I also work on several books and it looks like
I can’t get it finished the way I want to. Winter blues?

Legacy
Dit is een nieuw kunstenaarsboek: Legacy/ erfenis. Boeken horen al eeuwen tot de erfenis van onze (voor) ouders. Waar zou onze maatschappij zijn zonder boeken en zonder mensen die hun kennis met ons willen delen. Legacy is een onwillekeurige doorsnee van personen en teksten. Kennisoverdracht is hier het sleutelwoord.
This is a new artist book: Legacy. Books belong to our inheritance from our (fore) fathers for ages. What would our society be without books and the people that are wanted to share their knowledge. Legacy is a random average from persons and text. Knowledge transfer is the keyword here.

Painting again
Holiday is over again, I did a lot of work but not the work I had in mind. No meters of dyed fabric, no fabric full of breakdown printing, no box full of handmade paper...the weather was too bad...instead of that I studied a lot of new techniques and worked them out and after years I am painting again. This is a view on a piece that I am working on. The funny thing is that everyone that comes to our house sees something different in it. I see this as positive, it isn't dull, it lives. It is not how I want it to be. Decisions that I make in daylight, are thrown away in the evening light again, so it really lives. It is kind of exiting though, I am very curious if anyone see the same thing in it, that I see. (which I keep for myself for a little while) reaction is welcome.

Printing
This is the result from a day printing. It has become an large piece of fabric, I couldn't get it all on the picture. I´ll think I can improve the prints by carving more details in the foam. hmmm, it is worth a try.....these pictures are very bad because of the sun and shadow but you get the idea.....
