Fake black and white (and some pink)














Just discovered a camera setting called "sandblast".

And I´m tickled pink about this.
Many thanks!

Back to neutrals, red + white...















And outside: spring + romance...

More blues and: three winners














Some new blues. They have quite a nice sky and
jeans look, which comes from mordanting the fabrics
in soymilk before dyeing with reseda and logwood
I suppose...

Well, no rush exactly on the give-away....
But very pretty errors indeed, thanks for sharing
them!
And: where not many take part, almost all win -
isn´t that nice...

A 6 € virtual voucher for the currently existing
two shops goes to

Joanna
Helen
and
Peggy

They´re valid for all of 2012. In case of a purchase,
just add a note to remind me, and I´ll return 6 € to
you...

Urban patchwork














Come on - it´s a give-away...
Some more errors please.

Almost 600, a return, and a give-away

This is almost post No. 600 here.
Can´t believe it myself...

So, time to make big decisions on small
matters.
I´ve re-opened a Bigcartel shop, going back
to the beginning (that´s why heads are round,
for thoughts to change direction, without
getting lost...;)
The increasing facebookishness of etsy is
getting on my nerves, and adjusting to it means
moving into a direction I don´t want to take -
in the way I communicate, and in my work.

I´ve transfered some things from etsy to
the new shop, at special shopwarming prices.

The etsy shop will remain too, for the time
being. I might try and use it for a different
range of wares one of these days - I´m thinking
about putting some more of my time into taking
photos (I´ve trained as a photographer once,
in my youth, did I ever mention that?) - and
I don´t believe in photographing for the drawer...

No. 600 + confession to an error + shopwarming =
time for a give-away...

I´m offering three 6 € virtual vouchers for
either shop - just leave a comment here, confessing
to one of your last (minor) errors...

Fake indigo














It´s leftovers from reseda dyeing, overdyed with
logwood...

Notebooks
















At a nearby thrift shop, where I frequently
browse for books and such, they sell packs of
repurposed notepaper - which gave me the idea
of making some one-of-akind notebooks.

I like them, there will be more I guess...

Out and about

Sunshine, milder temperatures = time again
for URBAN PATCHWORK...

Bye-bye and hello...
















I´m far from finished with those monthly
hangings...
They´re on the wall in piles of 3, and I
continue working on them, as time goes by...
