Heart warming, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

My favourite thing to spend time on the internet is looking at all the cuteness on Flickr. Arts, crafts, homes, thrift shop finds. I just love it ! And helps me to keep balance in this to me confusing world. So much beauty and love to be found for those who still can see it. And thanks to all who share it!

You can click on the photo and visit the photo sets of the makers if you want to see more eye candy.Have a cosy weekend with lots of love and beauty.

I like the word gray more than grey. It sounds more adequate to me. Darker.

The little doll, just 17 cm tall is just cute and cuddly :)

Magic forest friends, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

Tonight is the start of T. en P.'s autumn holidays.No school or work for a week :)

We hope for sunny walks, planned a dvd lord of the rings marathon with friends (T), visit Primark in Liege, bake a chocolate cake, watch Merlin together, maybe visit a open day at a university. Make pumpkin soup and just enjoy freedom. And I'm pretty sure we'll have some pyjama days.
I will be offline and I will take my clock and eye plant to an art event the last weekend.

Wish you happy times to!

Making stamps, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

Making stamps is easy as one - two - three.
1. Draw with a normal pencil.
2. Lay your drawing on the eraser.
3. Rub over paper with your pencil.

Gum

Eraser stamps, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

I feel a bit spaced out, had a lot of tooth pain lately. Visited my dentist a lot. That's ok with me, it's a nice guy and at the end the f**.. pain is gone.

I try to relax in the chair by singing songs in my head. Favourite are songs from the Rocky Horror show. "When Eddie said, he didn't like his ted, you know he was a no good kid....". That helps really!, if things get evil I think of steamy windows :)
What's your trick to relax in the dentist chair?

Made some stamps from erasers, and that helped a lot to heal the soul and my gums.

Happy pain free times!

Deep Sea days, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

Play with a photo of my work.

Dark, you say?
These days happen, just like that.
Slowly the colours fade, my world turns black.
Fear is master.

The secret is to sink a little bit more, the best treasures lay deep down at the bottom of the deep sea...

Studio today, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

New friends and mostly good times in the studio. I'm still working on my MollyMorpheus Etsy store. Having problems with my new bank account and paypal. In the end it all will work but for now it's the mail ping-pong game.

Dream Guardian Poem, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

Last days of summer vacation, and a load of good things to do. Busy as a bee.
So many beautiful flowers to visit, honey to make and love to celebrate :)

Internet feels like a to big time consumer these days, so I'll take a few steps back.
And leave you with this poem.

I'll show you the rest of this later :)
May your dreams come true

Thoughts about Mythology Bjork - Live & Interview - Unravel

2011-08-18T18:45:00.000+02:00

Mythology is deeply personal and skin deep to me.
By listening to songs for Drella by Lou Reed and John Cale made me think it was for Andy to.
Listen to what Bjork has to say and enjoy her beautiful song.

Dream away Hugo, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

I'll love to join him and knit the whole day. For now I'm still busy setting up the shop.

Play time for Fifi and Eloise, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

To make a decent product photo is not so easy. We are having a lot of rain and darkness these days.
But I've learned some tricks of the trade and a 1960's filter is just perfect for my mood.

Focus on the bright side of life!

La Droguerie Rennes

2011-08-05T18:52:00.001+02:00

Crafters paradise, a photo by Tuttebel on Flickr.

This shop was high on my wish list of things to see in Brittany. It's a true crafters paradise. I could have easily spend a whole day looking at all the lovely things. Romantic fabrics and so much beads, buttons, wool, bias bands all in nice colours. The staff was super friendly and even spoke english! There are 10 La Droguerie shops in France. Wish there was one in Maastricht!

And the book La Deco des Parisiennes is so dreamy, most girls that show their petits appartements are artist and creatices.

Happy me!
Have a nice weekend my dear readers!

Best shop in the world!

Paper moon

2011-05-14T11:46:00.000+02:00

It's portrait week :) Not so easy to create the image I love. Smart teacher, to start with self portraits. So hard to step in front of the lens. Still try to hide.
It's really inspirational to struggle with this.
I must admit I dream about a secret garden to play in.

Frozen

2011-04-27T12:12:00.002+02:00

Master of the freeze water magic.
Ice,ice, baby.

When life feels like a string of faillures,
the one bead that is not perfect,
but allright,
makes my hart flutter.

I love rainy spring days so much.
Get double the work done, but love the sunny days for making photo's.
Happy almost every day! (above 25.o celcius I'm just paralized)

This little guy for sure dreams about mermaids.

Meanwhile I dream about opening an etsy shop.

I'll start with 8 photo workshops for idiots like me who always use the automatic settings on cool camera's :) And use the one click button in Picnik to make it look somewhat nice.
Next step will be pricing products, that is so hard to do.

I"m a long way from that now, but I'll keep my eyes on the horizon and enjoy the journey.

Happy Spring and may the waters of the world heal soon.

May this longest night be warm in your hearts.
may you all shine with the returning light.

Spend my days happy, watch the snowflakes fall, outside of the studio. Drawing and sewing funny creatures. Have to wait for some more daylight to make a photo to show you.
Or a fairy godmother to help me with those horrifying technical things and improve my english with the same wave of her wand.

In the meantime happy making and dreaming for me.

Autumn,Yes!

To wear warm wool again, take a short walk, feel the fresh air.

Happy home, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Made this mobile after re-painting, no more gold paint for me. Let the light in with the white.
Summer was nice , painting job is almost done. Looking foreward to go back to work in the studio. Just have to wait a little more, I'm moving my studio from the ground floor to what was the living room on the first floor.
The space is less, but will be used only as studio. Now I had this strange dining room/ studio combination. Took way to much time to clean my clutter every time friends came to visit.
Soon we will have very nice and clean living/ dining room on the ground floor. Friends welcome for tea any time of the day :)

And a real messy studio, just for me to play. Yeah!
I make little dances of joy :)

Sorry for the silence on this blog. My ancient windows 98 does not work with my photo host anymore,so no new uploads for now. Soon I'll have a second hand laptop and I can play on the internet again.

We had a nice holiday at home this year. Made day trips and home improvements. Painting stairs and doors, this time we chose white and we love it ; welcome light, welcome freshness :) Bye,bye silver,baby blue and baby pink.

Some more changes to be made,paintwork to be done, walking up and down the stairs with piles of books in my hands,make covers for furniture.

To take care for our home is to take care for our love
And changes make me happy,

Two weeks ago, just perfect day out for me. Travel for 2,5 hours by train, walk the streets of Amsterdam. Love the Jordaan and "de negen straatjes". Always make a visit to the American Book Centre and just enjoy the city.

Meditation in fabric, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Made me smile to make, love working on a small scale.
Works well as my meditation for today.

And brought back good memories, Diane pointing out her fishbowl in the west, during a happy ritual :)

Life is good.

Meet Boba and Hilda, crazy in love.
Hilda is a happy chicky.
Boba wants to be a cool bird but acts most days as a mad dog.
His favorite song is Dr. Hook - You make my pants want to get up and dance.

Dance to my own rythm and enjoy the sunlight.

On a new way

2010-02-17T15:34:00.003+01:00

Costume made from my old clothes. Add some fabric and tule, ready to go.

Today it's the first steps on a new way to walk for me.
Lose weight, so my knees will not hurt any more.
And I want to be able to dance all night long.

Make a inner power spell;
"Yes, I can !" :)

Valentine carnaval

A kiss to my dear blog readers
may you feel love each day.

We had fun at the Sunday parade and snowflakes.
Cold toes and beer to keep warm.

Now time to rest, love Elisa

He made clothes that suited this witch dreams.
Dreaming of magical worlds and dancing around the fire.

May he have a great time in Summerland.

The Little Red Riding Hood theme is one I keep going back to.

Be like her, happy walking in the world. Look the wolf in the eye.
Know that the hunter waits to save you.

And live happy forever :)
Have a brave day!

Frozen, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

The snow is gone now and the world has turned to grey again.
Take a deep breath and go on. Day by day, step by step.
Have no fear in the forest. Who am I fooling here?

Just stay home and play with my new stamp. It has three cute vikings and my favorite the beast behind the tree. Just love Sandra's designs.
To buy your own go to Herzensart

Yule time

Granny blanket and rat, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Spend my time with crochet my first granny square blanket. Just loved to make it, working with soft merino wool. Made me a rat to play with feeling comfy under this periwinkle hippie/bohemian/rosanne piece of home made craft galore. The rat as a anarchistic symbol, screw the middleclasses! Especially those from the Art world. (Big stinky A).
I'll have some fun :)

Dear readers, I wish you a good Yule, Happy X-mas and just a good time.
Love Elisa

Shameless copy

Pincushion my magpie eye spotted somewhere on Flickr :), originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

My favorite thing to do on the internet is watching Flickr photostreams from crafters and artists. Look at their works, the beautiful homes and studios. Never with the intention to copy work, just to admire and enjoy.
My old pincushion was losing straw and a few days ago I saw a image from a japanese craftbook somewhere on Flickr.
Thanks to whoever you are for the idea !
Just happy to copy :)

Have fun and good coffee.

A fine romance

On a grey and rainy day.
Feel happy in my studio,
let the melancholy win, dwell in a pile of soft fabrics.
Blessed be the lovers in this world,
and the coffee growers :)

Happy working in my colorful studio.
I'll be a clean lines conceptual artist in another life, in this life I feel no need for it :)
Just love and fun make my day.

Sing along with me; head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes :)
Love you, Elisa

This Samhain I like to present you this little Mother Earth doll.
She proudly shows of my improving crochet skills.

Whatever makes the girl happy and the crafty ancestors proud :)

Happy Halloween!

Kunst-Tauschbörse

Art swap, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Just the perfect Sunday to put on my happy cat shoes.

The Atelierhaus Aachen has made a show with art works to swap, could be money, but also yoga-classes or cleaning windows. Whatever makes the artist and the buyer happy.
They have a "Finissage" on Sunday 4 Oktober, I'll take my sculpture home, or a brand new laptop ;)
Either way I'm just happy to participate.
Forgot my camera today, take some photos later.

Miauw and see you later, Elisa

Images, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

By now, I must have over 500 laminated images, all cut from magazines.

The choices I make to cut an image or not tells a story. What is still hidden in the morning mist.
Feels like working on a shell grotto.
Waiting for the sun to come out and solve the mist. But as we all know, that can take years.
Maybe I'm all wrinkled and grey by the time ;)

For sure the story will start with once upon a time...
may they live happily ever after.

And so may you, love Elisa.
