Exposition d'Ete

Last weekend I visted the Exposition d'Ete in the Belgian village Eben-Emael.
Two of my dear art school classmates, Janna and Lisette, showed some work here.
These 3 works I loved the most. For the fun they have and the way these girls can always make me laugh.

The toy insect was working so hard on his little bike, it was so cute.
On the monitor you saw the green grass move to the side.
Life is a adventure for those who dare!

Look at this "Fun Monecule", I made in the spring. Happines lives in pompoms :)

I participated in a real fun thing, "the mixed nuts project". The idea of a australian artist, Kirsty.
She send to artists and crafters from all over the world a pattern from a nut. Each artist altered the nut to his or her taste and its so much fun to see what they made.
There is a mixed nuts online exhibition, where you can see and buy the nuts. Go take a look :)

Sandra from Herzensart made a post about her beautiful Pieta Nut, go and read that to.

Make as much fun as you can this weekend,
sunshine and love, Elisa

Look what the sunlight and the crystal by the window gave me this morning.
The universe is filled with wonder and in times I forget that, it has tricks to make me see again.

May we never stop to wonder,

Patience

Whitnessing the thought patterns in my mind,
make a distance between me and them.

Remember strenght and time makes power.

Work with love.

Soft Pink

Working on my laminated images and moved my work table near the window. I like it better, there is so much more light.
We now also eat our meals at this table, so I set up some decoration.

I hope it also helps me to find some rest, I do feel really nervous and unadequate these days. May the pink keep me calm and remind me to not to take myself to serious and not to worry so much. Go with the flow and just enjoy this one day.
Find the peace I'm missing in the world in my heart today.

L'Etranger

For the opening of the Cultura Nova festival a stranger came to Heerlen. It was a familiar stranger, the artists Plasticiens Volants and Os Gemeos have been several times in our little town. I really want to thank them for bringing a little magic back in town.
I loved the graffiti Giant around my corner from Os Gemeos and was happy to see his brother on the Tate Modern and Plasticiens Volants stole my heart 10 years ago with their birdwoman Ezili.
Some days it's great to live here :)

I spend the day making comfort foods, Cornish pasty (almost as good as the ones we so much loved in Padstow), chicken soup with home grown waterkress and potato salad.
Helps to make my soul stronger, at least one can eat the result ;)

Love and may no human or animal ever hunger again
and no soul be to insecure to create, Elisa

Swap

Towe My's art!, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Look at these great crochet works, it's from a Swedish artist, Towe My.

We met at Flickr and I admired her Clunny. ( The white bunny shape).
She makes cute objects but takes crochet to another level.
I just love the little magical world she creates.

It was my first swap and it was so much fun to do.
Made grey days have some sunlight :)
