'n bruin matjie

i'm still playing around with this pattern. the mat is not a 100% yet. but it looks cool in my bathroom though.

ek is nog nie 'n 100% happy met hierdie patroon nie, maar hy lê al op die vloer in my badkamer. 

snoesing onder die komberse

it's getting really cold in the evenings. when my kids are fast asleep, i sit snug as a bug under the blankets with my doily patterns in hand, crocheting some giants mats for the shop. here's a work in progress photo so long.

aarde, maar dit raak nou koud in die boland. sodra my twee woelwaters aan die slaap is, kruip ek snoesig onder die komberse en hekel matte. ek is besig on 'n paar patrone uit te probeer. hier is solank 'n steel-foto vir die agies.

vele hande ligte werk

tjou-tjou het besluit dat dit tyd is om 'n tjou-tjou-span te begin. hier is ons eerste vloer-doilie, gemaak deur issie. die doilie is gemaak van t-shirt-tou en kan gevas word.

here's a look at a section of a design for my 'tin plate art' called 'jan pierewiet'. the design will probably be in black. maybe more colours ~ still deciding.

hierdie ontwerp is 'n gedeelte van my eerste idees vir my 'jan pierewiet-reeks'. die ontwerpe sal heel moontlik in swart gedruk word. miskien nog kleure.

treasure

a friend and i was scratching in her mother’s trousseaux chest. look at the amazing doilies we found. the detail. wonderful treasure for the next generation. the horses are charms that her grandmother collected. they were attached to the white horse whiskey bottles.

ek en 'n vriendin het hierdie pragtige doilies in haar ma se trousseaux-kis gekry. die detail. een van die doilies het omtrent 'n kraletjie in elke stekie. haar ouma het die perdjies bymekaar gemaak so met tyd. hulle was vas aan white horse whiskey bottels.

snip-snip

a bit of show and tell on my creative process. all the design elements on my blog were done with paper, scissors, and an nt-cutter.

knip-knip en daar is my "look and feel" van my blog.

all doily-ed up

found these on artatheart they are made by raquel masri. doilies are close to my heart and inspire a lot of my own work and tjou-tjou's new, soon to be released, branding.

my ouma hester sal mal hieroor wees. nooit sal sy kon dink dat doilies so 'n invloed op die ontwerp-wêreld het nie. op artatheart, onwerp deur raquel masri.
