The snow is gone and so is the winterfeeling.. Today it’s grey and raining all the time. Can’t wait for spring.
It has been a busy week. I started by getting rid of the clutter on my desk. I tend to have lots of ideas and start 10 projects at once and then don’t have time to finish them.. So my desk was filled with half-finished projects: Dia-slides from my grandfather which I still have to scan and organize, half-finished letters to my friends, pieces of cool paper I bought for making my own stationary, boring forms about finances I still have to fill in, empty jars and bottles which I still want to paint. A few days ago I put together a small calendar which came with Flow Magazine. Every day has an interesting quote. One of these quotes said: “Te veel mensen steken te veel tijd in het perfectioneren van een idee voor ze het uitvoeren. In plaats van te wachten op iets perfects, begin je gewoon met wat je hebt en verbeter je gaandeweg” / “To many people spend to much time in improving an idea before they actually execute it. Instead of waiting for something perfect you should start with what you’ve got and improve along the way”. Maybe I should do that, instead of trying to do 10 projects at once just start one or two and completely focus on those projects and put the other ones on a hold. In that way I can concentrate better and actually finish a project in a few weeks instead of a few months (what happened when I do loads of projects at once).
So every week I want to chose just 2 projects to work on. This week I chose to focus on my stationary project and my upcoming exhibition. I made a few testprints on different sorts of paper for a small notebook I want to sell on etsy. I chose to start with a set of 4 different booklets. They all have a different photo on the cover and are printed on two different types of paper. Two of them will have lined paper and the other one blank paper. My exhibition is almost finished. I’m showing two different series. One of them is exhibited as a collage containing photos and articles. Four photos of the collage are also shown as large prints. The other series contains of four big photos of several bands. Next week the opening takes place.
I love to look in magazines like 101 woonideeën to collect ideas for my own place. Since a year me and boyfriend have our own place which we like to decorate with products we like. Before he lived with his parents and myself with two room-mates so we never had a real place of our own which we could style and decorate the way we wanted. We started here with stuff I already had from my old place but in that time I bought stuff which I liked just a bit because it was cheap and kind of nice to look at (or because it was cheap). Furthermore we had lots of stuff which I got for free from my parents who recently moved to a new house so they got lots of spare furniture and accessories. So over the past year we got rid of lots of old stuff which we didn’t really like anymore and only bought new stuff which we really like and fits with our style. I posted some photos of our house on my pinterest and want to make some more photos soon (after I organized everything)
This week it was time to replace our coasters! Today I went to Amsterdam to buy paper for my exhibition and on my way back to the trainstation I paid a visit to De Bijenkorf and found these real cool coasters from Kikkerland . You can rotate the transparent top to get a kaleidoscope effect.
I love paper. For my upcoming exhibition I’m going to show one of my series as sort of a collage containing photos, articles and quotes. I don’t like regular photopaper or plain white paper so I want to print the photos on novel paper and the articles on recycled paper. So I went to Vlieger in Amsterdam which is a great store filled paper. You can find all sorts of paper there: regular paper in all sorts of colours, japanese paper, paper with great prints, paper made of wood, paper made of cork, cardboard, handmade paper, neon paper and much more. Besides paper they also have lots of washi tape and other diy materials Have a look at their website: vliegerpapier.nl/ or visit them at Amstel 34 near Muntplein.
So I just went there for novel paper and recycled paper but returned home with lots of other sorts of paper..
I’m probably going to use it for photo-print-projects or to write letters on it to my friends.
It’s a bit difficult to see on the photos but the white sheets have different textures and the square sheet is made of cotton.
I found this weblog via pinterest and I really like it: http://whothefuckismickjagger.tumblr.com/
It’s an image-only weblog which gives you a feeling you’re somewhere in the 70s hanging out with rock stars in the middle of a mystical forest.
I thought it was time to start making weekly post again about inspiration I found on pinterest.
Winter Tale by Oer-Wout
I probably want to buy a new desk, a simple one with some storage space like this one.
Logo inspiration, maybe I should make a logo myself..
Holga lens for a digital camera, saves film costs. Although it’s still very interesting to make photos with vintage cameras and not knowing what the result will be.
The Hobbit! If you haven’t seen it yet, go see it! I’ve seen it twice now and can’t wait for the next part.
