I love books, I really do. And I love to read! What’s nicer than losing yourself in a good story and forgetting about what’s happening around you? Making these bookmarks was very obvious to me. From now on, when I’ll give someone a book as a present, I’ll add one of these bookmarks. If that sounds like a good idea to you, they are available at my Etsy shop ;-)
Last Friday my niece Lili got a little sister, Ana. I think they are going to be best friends. Above you can see the birth announcement card I made for Ana.
This is my contribution for Illustration Friday this week. I’ve been having a lot of fun mixing colours and playing with block printing ink. I hope you like it!
Seelvana from Buenos Aires, Argentina! Congratulations! I will send you one of these prints: ‘When live gives you lemons make lemonade’ or the ‘Cat’ print. Which one do you like the best? ;-)
To all of you: thanks for commenting and maybe next time you will be the lucky one!
Last year Dinara gave away this beautiful tape of hers, and I was the lucky winner :-) Finally I’ve used it to pimp up the jars I store in my kitchen. I think it looks gorgeous with the sugar, salt, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and bay leaves as a background. Thanks again Dinara for this great giveaway. I’m sure I will find some other lovely destinations for this tape!
To remind you all, right at this moment there is a ‘Giveaway’ running on this blog until Sunday night. Go to the previous post and leave your comment. Good luck!
Here is already a highlight of 2012: my first ‘blogiversary’ ;-) I’d like to thank you all for your comments, kind words and encouragement over the past year! Starting this little space on the web was the best decision I took in 2011, and you made it so much more fun and worthwhile. To celebrate my blogiversary I’m doing a giveaway! Participating is easy: go and have a look at my Etsy shop, come back here and comment on this post. Just tell me which item you’d like to receive! You have time till Sunday 15th; on Monday I’ll announce the winner. Good luck!
My partner Dieter gave me the perfect Christmas present: this ‘manifesto’ poster by Holstee. Thank you very much, Dieter! From now on, when I have doubts about what I’m doing, one look at this poster will keep me going ;-)
A while ago Tatiana Kontouli from European Street Team asked me to participate in ‘My day is Friday’. I’ve made a small story in pictures from the moment I wake up till the time I go to sleep. Unfortunately, not all Fridays are like this one. I am currently so busy that I have to stay in front of my computer from morning to evening to get my job done. Oh my, just looking forward to having another relaxed Friday! ;-) Read the complete story over here.
As I’ve told you before I participated in the great project of Camilla Engman. She wanted a book full of art about Morran, her sweet dog that unfortunately passed away one week ago. But Morran will live on in all those beautiful pieces of art. I’m so proud to be part of this project. Above, at the right side of the spread, you can see my illustration! You can now buy the book; all profits will go to a good charity. Read more about it at Camilla’s blog.
