I’m participating in the first Etsy Showroom in the Netherlands, yay! There are so many other wonderful participants that I’ve chosen a few shops to give you a little taste.

The first one in the list is Factory on the Moon where you can find handmade jewelry of recycled materials like this super cute cloudy brooch. The notebook with a photo print in the shape of a leaf is from Puur Anders, the handmade work in this shop has a beautiful lightness to it.
The zeppelin floating above the mountains is one of three of a postcard set made by de Krantenkapper. They (two sisters) design all fun things on paper and everything that has to do with paper. And yes, the fantastic spirograph is another brooch! It’s from the shop trincar uvas and beautifully handmade. Second Hand Sandy is such a fun name and says it all, the shop sells vintage dinnerware and other vintage things. I love this pretty plate and I so want it!
The big big pillow is from the shop Studio Lilesadi, don’t you just want to cuddle this one! They (twin sisters) make funky prints and silkscreen them by hand on all kind of fabric products. The diagonal photo shows a necklace named the Big Dipper/ Ursa Major. The shop Twinklebird sells a lot of beautiful and delicate jewelry but I’m totally in love with this one. Etsy makes sure that I want and buy a lot! My list is long..

On Etsy I came across this lovely work called ‘Bits of autumn’ (first photo), by Romina Bacci at her shop Miles Of Light. She makes nature inspired photographic art prints.
Looking at her work brought back some fun memories from school. The process of drying all kinds of leaves and flowers between paper underneath big heavy books. Going on a search for names and species. And once they dried you would stick them on paper and write the correct name down with them. The second thing I immediately related her work to is this book I own called ‘Bomen en Struiken’, the English translation would be: ‘Trees and Shrubs’ (second photo). The book has a big fun factor because the layout is so playful, every spread has a funky composition, different sized photos and little fun drawings.

Here’s three new works I’ve made! Their titles are ‘In sight’, ‘Flat view’ and ‘Preserved’. For more photos and information on each work check my Etsy shop.

New product on my Etsy shop!
The painting depicts the remains of the kitchen from a burned down restaurant. It is painted on glued together residual wood from a local woodworkshop. And the backside of the work has a very thin steel wire fastened with miniature fence nails, which you can use for hanging the work on a wall.
This work is part of a series of small works that depict the same scene. Soon the other works from this series will be online as well.
