December: reflection mode...

On these dark days in December when it is too cold in my studio,

I am re-organizing my desk and am a bit in reflection mode while doing my administrative jobs.

Sometimes that is a good thing...

Inspired by felt

I was really looking forward to seeing her work, and when I entered the top floor of the Museum, 

I immediately became inspired. Claudy Jongstra, a famous felt-artist in the Netherlands shares her work and process in the Fries Museum.

To see the creative process was so beautiful,

all those natural colours and the felt techniques of twisting and turning,

oh life is too short to learn everything!

Making...

Love making things, here I am making christmas decorations.

Of course you could print these, but I find it more interesting to make one-of -a-kind items.

So I took my watercolours and painted these:

Similar ones are for sale in my Etsy-shop.

Frost inspiration

It has been very cold here for some days. When I walked in our vegetable garden the beautiful frost gave me some inspiration for pictures and drawings:

Colours are different when it is freezing...

Colours inspiring me to these watercolours, fluidly flowing:
