Our Creative Space...

A very colorful creative space this week, while we are creating rainbows for this week's challenge of the EuropeanStreetTeam with the theme Rainbow! It will become a very happy tote once it is finished.

And more color and sunshine, while we are busy with our new jewelry line Green at Heart, you can see the first in our shop. They all will be a combination of vintage embroidery, felt and metal, with a floral theme.

And our biggest hobby, creating a huge mess :)...

Life is often a struggle... there will be many bumpy roads during our journey. I wanted to create a collection of flawless lines, representing somesort of flawless future, not that it is possible but one can always try :)

Flickr Favorites

1. PC025994 OIL, 2. AFighter's-Path, 3. AE-Herfort-Australia, 4. Time Tunnel

This mosaic started with searching for 'oil' on Flickr. I love the colors that you can find on the roads left by car engines. I know it is nothing good for the envirement, but it always amazes me when ever I see such a spot. After finding a nice oil picture, I choose the same colors in Multi color search lab to finish the mosaic.

The Colors of Food

We went to Muğla yesterday and although we where not there for buying veggie's, I took pictures of them because of the gorgeous colors and mixture. The picture above is of some poor villagers who do not have much to sell but try to earn some little extra with the goods they produced in their little garden.



The richer sellers have more to offer and also sell dried peppers, aubergine and gumbo's, a pleasure for the eyes. When these are cheaper people dry them for the expensive winter period, after they are dried you can use them for months and months.

If you look closely at the picture here under you will discover an evil eye between the dried goods :)

Hope you came by with a full stomach...

Flickr Favorites- Less is More

1. Minimalism In Red, 2. Me trying out urban minimalism, 3. Spinose Minimalism, 4. Minimalism

Sometimes less is more, unfortunatly mum and I never have been able to live minimalistic, we simply have/love too many stuff. These photographs are all simple, but I had to mix the colors to give it some playfulness. I hope it will make you calm and give you a happy feeling...

Hop over to ArtMind's blog to see more Mosaics or to play along!

New Love and Flickr Favorites

I have discovered a new love, painting with knives!


I have been wanting to try it for a while, and a few weeks ago I noticed I was not motivated to paint, so I thought it was the right time to try something different.

I started with this fantasy portrait, finished it in a few hours and loved it!

Love the structures it gives, although much more paint is used then normal.

Then I wanted to make a ship on sea, I never have been able to make the sea right, but with this technique and with only imagination it turned out pretty well.

I made the back side of the boat unclear to give it speed.


I started to make it with normal colors but it turned out like a drawing of an 8 year old, then I added alot of purple and other unusual colors untill I was satisfied.

I never made a nude either, not that I'm against naked women (or men) just that it easy becomes too much meat for my taste. But again with the knife technique and different colors I liked the result.

This piece took me longer and was more challenging, again without anything to look up to, all imagination. The trees finished the piece and gave it perspective.

In 2 weeks my drawing classes will come to an end, untill autumn. There will be an exibition at the end of May, I still need to finish my mum's portrait as that one will be exibited too there, oops...


And Mitsy of ArtMind started some fun, by posting a mosaic of your favorites of Flickr, on your blog and Flickr page. Here is my mosaic, if you would like to see more mosaics or join the fun, check Mitsy's blog!
