Elastic

Little diddeldoo for a workshop at school today.
Not completely in love with it but it has some good things.

Q&A

First of all I'll answer the questions:

why did you start blogging?
I think I haven't started blogging for one specific reason. It's several combined.
Few of them are:
I like blogs, so I wanted to see if I could create a good one too.
I think it's a good way to spread my work or show it to people I don't see very often.
Also, I like playing around with clothing and photographing myself in a way that brings the clothing out more.
So I guess those are some reasons...

What made you interested in fasion?
I don't know what triggered me. I've always liked dressing up.
When I was a kid I used to dress up with my friend and play.
But then I dressed as a tiger or a fairy. That kinda didn't end until I was 17 haha.

How long you with Timo?
2 years and 5 months

Where you had met him?
We met at bredabarst. This is a free festival in the Netherlands.
He didn't even speak to me that night haha

Heb je het naar je zin tijdens je studie?
Jazeker, heb wel het idee dat ik op mijn plekje zit! Welke richting ik uiteindelijk ga kiezen weet ik nog niet. Gelukkig kunnen we heel makkelijk wisselen.

Is het zwaar?
Jep, het is zeker zwaar. Ik zit elke dag van 9.00 tot 22.00 op school. In het weekend kan ik meestal alleen op vrijdag avond iets doen. Hopelijk word dat iets minder de komende jaren.

Wat moet je zoal doen?
Verschilt heel erg in welke kompas richting je zit. Er zijn er in totaal 4. In het eerste jaar wisselt het om het kwartaal om. Als eerste had ik Atelier. Daar had ik de vakken: schilderen, tekenen, tactiliteit (textiel), (zelf)reflectie en vormonderzoek. Bij vormonderzoek moesten we kleien, de preciese opdracht is een beetje moeilijk uit te leggen. Als tweede had ik Forum. Hierbij had ik de vakken: vormstudie, hierbij moesten we een beeld maken voor een held (naar eigen keuze). architectuur, tekenen en research. Bij research deden we een onderzoek naar hygiene, op het einde maakte je een product om dit te verbeteren. Nu ben ik bezig met Lab. Op het moment heb ik de vakken: Metaal, waar we een metale stoel moeten maken. Hout, waar we een houten stoel moeten maken. Technische tekenen. 3Dvorm, waar ik een zonnebloem estetisch moet weergeven. En tot slot engeneering, hiervoor heb ik tegeltjes moeten maken. Nu ben ik daarbij bezig om een theepot te maken. Dit moet met gietklei, dus eerst een mal etc.
Hierna krijg ik nog een kompas richting, markt.
Buiten dit hebben we ook nog introductielessen in de richtingen die we volgend jaar kunnen kiezen. Ook hebben we instructies in bijv. photoshop, solidworks, flash en fotografie.

When did you gain interest in your style?
Kind of answered this in the second question.

Well I hope I have answered the questions to your liking!
If you want to know more, ask me.

I also made a bracelet recently:
The necklace was for a school assignment.

Sorry for the hugeness of that image haha.

Identity

Another school thing.
We had to create something with a t-shirt.
The concept is that power eats you or
"losgeslagen macht verzwelgt je"
Sounds way lame in English haha.
So well, tada. Pretty happy with the end result.
And thanks to my babe for the photographs.
Yhea, and the best picture is pretty small. Sorry guys.
You're just not gonna see more of that haha

What the hell did I think about before you

Maybe a bit late but Happy New Year all!
The two top pictures are from my new years eve.
My babe and I went to Berlin was lots of fun and relaxing!
Might make a post of it later...
I love it how happy Timo looks in the second picture haha

Below a bracelet I made for school quite a while ago.
It's a crappy photograph and the upper knot is twisted.
Really need to photograph a lot of school stuff soon.
I also made the shirt I'm wearing,
you can't really see it either though..


Oh and I forgot something!
I was in the in your face section of Blend magazine.
Nice surprise!

Buie is a geek too

Buie (Kazooie)
Another little addition to the family.
I was going to give him a mum, but then I got an e-mail from the DAE.

Assignment for the intro.
Design two customes, one to be active, and one to stand out in.
The thema I got is 'Geek'!
Lots of things to do with that!
So I started designing one, wich I think is ready for the making.
Will show the design later this week I guess.
I hope it will turn out good!
Wish me luck.

p.s. Headband I made for the occasion:

Keep repeating I got in and then you realize how stupid it sounds... 'got'

Binas

I constantly find myself wanting to make headwear.

This one was born last week.
I love the peacock feather.
It has such beautifull colours.
I wan't quite satisfied with the result at the time.
Though, it's growing on me.

Last exam in about an hour, chemestry,
I truely hope I will rock it.

Tomorrow is my admission (if you call it that?) for the DAE.
Kind of nervous, more nervous then for chem haha.
Making a headband for that too, with beads.
Not sure if it will be finished by tomorrow.
Have to touch up some other things too,
Mon lost an eye, and my boyfriend (exadently)
ripped a conclusion from a headband of.

Well wish me luck!
Lots of....

Mobile

Another home assignment I made for Eindhoven.

It's a mobile.
The distinct composition of the birthmarks on my back are the inspiration.
The beads represent the birthmarks anc create balans.
The colours I used represent my body colours (eyes, skin, birthmarks, hair).

Free

Didn't post anything lately, sorry.
Have exams.
Had Dutch and Maths already.
I think I did ok. I hope so...

I made a simple headband yesterday.
My head didn't agree to a proper picture,
so this is all you'll see.

Will take a better picture some other day.
If I I'm up to it ;)

Look inside your tiny mind.

I made a necklace, and I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.
It turned out complety diffrent than I wanted to,
still have to figure out if that was a good thing.

Hope I can make some glass beads today,
off to it now. It's a schools workshop but I'm just gonna bump in haha.
Well I need to do an assignment soooo.
Wish me luck ;)

A little something something

Hair thing I made, last week I think.
Doesn't suit me very well, think it's more something for a 12 year old.
But ah well, sure it'll suit me sometime.

It's summer time!
Spring time, whatever.
Hayfever attacks daily, so watch out for dandelion bombs.

It's my friends birthday tommorow,
have no clue what to buy her really.
Think me and my babe will give her that dragon ball z wii game.
Pretty lame, though, she want it.

I'll be outside now,
building a bomb shelter for those damn dandelions.
Sunglasses will do I guess.

Have fun in the sun!

Well here it is

Two necklaces,
Two scarves
And one headband.

All of them combined are a customizable bag.
The bag can be both purple and black.
By rearranging the scarfs when you lace the necklace trough the holes.
Made by me.
woew

I am going to apply for the design academy in Eindhoven.
Taking pictures of all.
Am also working on a bag wich is consist of a scarf, hairthing, and necklaces.
