I can fly

Witchy, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Visited the expo about witchcraft in the Limburgs Museum in Venlo. It was interactive, you could use you're magic wand to activate things and send a photo home dressed up as a witch. So I did. It was a nice expo about witches in books and movies, fear of witches in old times, burning 40 people accused of being a witch in Venlo and about witchcraft in modern times. It was nice but I like to go to Boscastle to visit a real witchcraft museum.

Blessed be and may no witch ever be burned again. So mote it be.

First crochet thing I've made :-)

First crochet thing, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

This is what I made yesterday. I'm just learning to crochet and dream of sculptures 2 meters high.
For now, all I could use it for was this 'bike saddle cover'.
I love to ride my bike. ( and hate to ride a car, I have my drivers license but never drive.)

I wish I could fly.

Light

lamp at my front-door., originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Sometimes it's easy; if it's dark, turn on the light.

Fill the light with hope, love and compassion.
Breath the light in, breath love out,
learn to crochet, do it for hours,
go to sleep and see the sun shine in the morning.

Raindrops on Roses

Tears on Madeleine cupcake cookies.

I hear birds sing, and feel caged.

No words to say what I want.

Hannah's Elephant, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Hannah send me a letter after she visited my studio. She enclosed some nice Oilily writing-paper, because I like Oilily. So sweet of her.

Today she came to make her own soft toy, and Tara made a shy penguin.
It was a great day, they draw their own designs. Chose some nice fabrics. And for Hannah it was her first time ever to work with a sewing machine. She was a natural talent with it, Oilily would be glad to have her as a designer.

To me, it's great to buy nice things, but it satisfies me more to make my own nice things. And help other people to feel this way to.

Killer Queen

Killer Queen, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Last Saturday I made my first public art work. In between exhibitions the gallery Signe. ( www.kunstencentrumsigne.nl ) asks local artists to do a window piece. I've painted with black acrylic paint on the window. She was inspired by my flower bulb children. It took me all day, and in my head I heard Freddie Mercury sing; 'Just like Marie-Antoinette, she is a Killer Queen...
The masks are a bit to much like glasses, but I like the threefold Goddess aspect of her. Next time I'll do a Kali. :-)
