Latest project:



This birdtailed jacket is my newest project. The yellow jacket part is done, as you can see in the previous post, now all that remains is the tail... I'll post it as soon as it's done, which should be in a few weeks.




And this is today, in front of the apple fields...

This year's breaddough EggMen:



We bake them each easter for brunch. And eat them with strawberries and the chocolate eggs we find in the garden.
(The top-left one and bottom right one were made by my brother Niels.)

Protection Charm Kerchief


This handkerchief was made for Kees Rutten, who is prone to making dangerous sea voyages.
The runes in the corners phonetically spell his name and the rune symbol under his ship is one for safe journeys.

Varen, varen over de baren,
als scheepje op woelige zee.
Stormwind fluister, water ruist er
onder Avontuur's zeilen mee.

"And rainy is my hair"...





Dreary's daughter


My veins are clear as water
my eyes are clear as air
I am Dreary's daughter
and rainy is my hair




Silver patter, water falling
is the clatter of my steps
I am silver falling
to whisper from the depths

My cheeks are cold and windy
the windswept sky's my rime
If I'm your song, then sing me
my heart is keeping time

If you hear me, then come near me
I long to be unlone
an ember glows within me
and frost within my bone
