okay guys today is the big day. I’ve made my polaroid sx70 grey prints available for sale in my shoppe.
it’s only a limited edition of five - and one has already gone! you can be certain you won’t find more than five prints of the same colour in the world; plus, each print is unique in its own way due to the hand-printing process.

please have a look at it and tell me what you think!
since it’s my first time as a seller (wow, lots of first times around here lately), I’d love if you gave me some feedback.

ps. the prints are also being sold through my etsy shop. oh so much excitiment here.

right now a few of my favourite things are: banners, full letters, triangles, orange and green. this postcard I just made combine the four of them.
need to print this out. and make *real* banners.

hopefully, this will be available in the shoppe pretty soon as part of the le cirque savant series. number one love. welcome perroquet.

after years of hesitation, I finally got around making my very first seamless pattern, using photoshop. you can download it for personal use.
just click on the image above and save the little tile that’ll appear.

I’ve finally found the desktop wallpapers of my dreams. twenty beautiful patterns to make your computer look pretty.

thank you tess & liz.

things couldn’t be better. I’m back from three days spent in the loveliest place ever in company of my favourite people on earth. I took tons of great polaroid pictures. I have a new laptop. I just received a package from gerstaecker; pretty much everything I need to make my own prints.

I’ve always dreamt about printing my own designs. but as much as I’d love to, a letter press is just two expensive for me right now, and goccos are impossible to find around here.
then, I came across linoprinting. and felt happy.

I’ve drawn a couple of series I intend to print; one of those being about polaroid cameras. love them so much I don’t want to forget about them. never.
I plan to carve the lino tonight and hopefully, I’ll have some beautiful results to show you tomorrow.

I’m off to my grand parents house for the - long - week end. monday off. fireworks and ice creams. I just can’t wait to see my sister. and cousins. and quite evidently, my rocking grand parents.

hope you all have the loveliest week end ever. see you on tuesday.

meanwhile, please enjoy a cup of your favourite tea - mine is pictured above: almond green tea - with some ice cubes thrown into it. yeah to summer.

I came across Maria Forde’s beautiful website today, and totally fell in love with her illustrations.

it happens often. I hold the camera in my hand. my finger touches the button. I hear that click noise and know it’s too late. a random picture is being ejected from the camera.

most of the time, those are over exposed. I have a pretty pile of them because I can’t get myself to throw them away. beauty is everywhere. and sometimes, in places you don’t expect it to be. a couple of marker pen lines later, here is the result. love*love.
