Scotland
Scotland was amazingly beautiful
We've seen the knights
kissed the Princess
searched for Nessy
walked the woodlands
and
fell in love with Glasgow
But most of all
we felt at home
in the UK
See you soon

We have a new thing around here
It comes with
a whole language too
flex, trucks & pumping, sliding
girls like me
will never
ever
get those words right
but hey
I'm boarding
cool enough,
don't you think?
Happy holidays!

The making of Maantje's Mobile 2
All the little porcelain moons
are leather dry.
None have broken during the process.
Smile
I've chosen not to wash the edges
with a damp cloth
I like them to be a bit
rough
They will be backed in this kiln
I started my screen print on transfer paper project
Above is a test with Angobe color
on transfer paper
Next week more.
I'm already looking forward to it!
Happy wednesday

The making of Maantje's Mobile 1
♥
♥
will
of course
gets everything I love to make.
If I like to make a present really special
I wait with making
until the little wonder is on earth
only then I feel what suits best.
First to make,
last to give,
her own porcelain
Appeltaart mobile.
A day after she was born
I started.
All the little moons
are drying now
for one week,
wrapped in plastic.
(otherwise they will dry to quickly and break)
They will go into the kiln
next Tuesday
to be heated for the first time
at 1050 degrees Celsius.
I thought i would be nice to share with you
the making of a porcelain mobile
So people,
like me a couple of months ago,
who don't have a clou what is involved
in making porcelain
could have a little peak
into a ceramic studio.
Keep you posted!

Screen Print: 'Spread the Love'
I found an old tin
on the market
from the sixties
I used the tin as an inspiration for this screen print
It is different,
but the feel and colors similar.
I wished I knew the name of the designer
there must be more!
There are 11 colors in this print
:-)
Thank you all for your get well wishes
I'll be running around the neighborhood soon again!
A big Kiss,

what is Guusje up to?
Enjoying the sun
the strawberries
and each other......
(and taking photo's with weird ghost app's :-)
Sorry about the blog silence!
I've been terribly busy recovering
from my back injury.
(trapped nerve in my back)
All well!

Birth screen print
May, 21
Two girl friends
gave birth to two baby girls
My very best youth memories
are shared with these friends
I know them for ages
26 six years
and
like 18 years
(gosh, we are getting old!)
I made them these screen prints
I hope they like them
(one can never be sure,
it's in my nature
to find it a bit scary
to give someone
one of my designs!)
Welcome
Pippi Ronja
&
Saar Lovis
I know for sure
You will be loved to bits!

Appeltaart's Ceramic & Paper Theatre
✶
The moon calls out her name,
the stars are lining up for her,
time to leave.
Her footsteps turn into the brightest white.
At midnight,
the girl will be the star of the Magic Theatre.
Hurry!
we don't want to miss a single thing
we will soon fall asleep again....
