drawing
This is a drawing I am working on for my drawing and painting class.
I drew it from photo’s I made on vacation in France last year. It’s my dad in the foreground, me and my mom on the left - my mom eating a cooky and me scraping dogpoo out of my shoe with a stick - my dogs and my brother in the right corner.

headpiece part 2
I finnished the headpiece! I knitted the wool I made with broomsticks (!) to create the ‘mask’.
This is a picture of Jasper wearing it - maybe I should change the color of the t-shirt?
Wool
I made a new ball of wool out of old second hand sweaters.
It is for a headpiece I am going to make for school, it will be new knitwork made out of my new wool combined with old knitwork from the secondhand sweaters.
Yes, I am also curious as to what it’s going to look like.
These were some of the sweaters I used!

Textile museum and the Pont
Last sunday I went to Tilburg with Jasper and David. We went to the textile museum and the Pont museum.
I was not allowed to take any pictures in the textile museum, so all I can say is you must go there to see for yourself.
They have a section with modern textile art which is very interesting. Also you can see the machines that were used in the past. Even cooler was that you could see artists at work in the textile lab. I saw two artist using a really interisten technique called ‘tuften’.
Museum the Pont was also a lot of fun. Lucky for me there was an exhibition going on by Claudy Jongstra (whom I really like) and Marc Mulders. They made a really interesting Gesamtkunstwerk, combining both their techniques.
Claudy Jongstra works with fabrics, mostly wool she gets from het own sheep. And Marc Mulders made glass pieces.
The idea was to create a map of paradise;
Other interesting work;
Martin Klimas
Martin Klimas is famous for using the element of time in his work.
He photographs objects at exactly the moment they hit the ground. He has a fraction of a second to show what out bare eye can not perceive; how beautiful it actually is when something smashes on the ground.
Erasmusbrug 1
In 2006 Niels Post; a Dutch artist from Rotterdam, installed a mailbox on the Erasmusbridge in Rotterdam. He claimed this as his new postal adress. He asked everyone to send him mail to Erasmusbrug 1, 3072 Rotterdam.
Eventually the press started picking up on this and the incoming mail started to increase.
After nine weeks the City of Rotterdam kindly asked him to remove the mailbox.
In total he received 134 pieces of mail.
