Putting together a mood board helps me to set the tone for a project, consider colour and texture combinations and get inspired. The following board is for a character illustration I'm working on for a <a href="http://skl.sh/1bLGYTH" target="_blank"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Skillshare</span></a> class I'm taking. If you are interested in taking this class as well you can get 10 dollars off (that's 50%!) by clicking <a href="http://skl.sh/1bLGYTH" target="_blank"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">here</span></a>. I'm currently enrolled for a few classes through Skillshare so you can expect more mood board and progress posts in the near future. </span><br />

Every so often this group of lovely people get together to chat, eat, drink and of course collage. Stacks of magazines are supplied and everyone brings a snack to share. For me this is one of the most enjoyable ways to spend a weekday evening.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two weeks ago I learned that the collage collective will be participating in an event called '<a href="http://www.gladstonehotel.com/spaces/come-up-to-my-room/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">come up to my room</span></a>' that's happening Jan. 23-26th at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. They needed to submit a promotional video for the event so I offered to help out. We put together the following stop motion clip.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my first year of Industrial Design we used Daniel Shiffman's book 'Learning Processing - A beginner's Guide to Programming Images, Animation, and Interaction' to learn basic programming for designers. Skip ahead to today and I'm up for a refresher. This book provides an excellent introduction to programming concepts that can be carried forward into many interactive digital projects. One of the first exercises in the book is to create a character using simple shapes. I decided to make this little robot friend.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I then used the robot to create the following pattern. I love the way it turned out. I think it could be a really cool textile print. I would sew it into a clutch bag or something! If there's anyone out there who knows how to print an image like this onto textile please contact me or leave me a link in the comments;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">after more than a year away from this blog I'm finally feeling ready to pick up where I left off. For a long time it was the thought of making this very post that kept me from returning. I kept thinking "what will I say, what will I show, will I have to explain my absence etc." Then it finally occurred to me that it doesn't have to be this stressful. The important thing was to start somewhere, anywhere in order to get the ball rolling again. Pull off the bandaid you know. I kept thinking it had to be this spectacular post that explained in detail all the reasons why I stopped... but who wants to read that anyways. So today I'm sharing a little glimpse at the stained glass project I'm currently working on. I recently picked up a few courses to further develop some skills: stained glass being one of them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Choosing the colours was my favourite part so far. There are so many options: colour, opacity, texture. I spent two hours in the shop ahead of time making my selection and I'm pretty excited to see how they look when it all comes together. I'll post the final piece in a few weeks when I'm finished:) </span><br />

So, as some of you may know I am a big fan of second-hand shops. There is always a little treasure hidden in there just waiting to be loved by someone new. Some of my favourite things were second-hand goodies like this <a href="http://www.mylittletulipblog.com/2012/05/typewritten-vlog-post.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">typewriter</span></a>, this <a href="http://www.mylittletulipblog.com/2012/01/5-things-i-like-in-my-home.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">chair</span></a>, or this <a href="http://www.mylittletulipblog.com/2012/07/our-garden-is-jungle.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">chair</span></a>. Most of all I love to find things that can be transformed into something different.<br />
<br />
That's exactly what I did with this wool blanket that I scooped up for 50 cents! I cut the blanket up into two squares, put them through the wash and then stitched them together as a pillow case. Super fun.<br />

Friends of mine recently bought this adorable orange car and invited me to come with them for a drive down to Belgium. We wanted to check out the beach so we headed to the coast. We took a map instead of GPS and navigated our way along some very charming country roads. However, when we got to the coast we found a beach full of these little huts, it was so bizarre. We made the most of it and all in all had a lovely day. Congrats on the 'new' car you guys!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14934386772025750659noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769194626332483737.post-46540012008126593522012-08-27T19:38:00.000+02:002012-08-27T19:38:57.772+02:00personalize<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Do you ever come across that really comfy sweater in the back of your closet that still fits but you don't wear it anymore because it is a little too plain? Well I did recently and I would like to show you what I did to give this sweater a burst of life again. </div>

I took the plain blue knit sweater and stitched in a pattern using this pink zpagetti yarn that i picked up at the craft store. (<a href="http://www.hoooked.nl/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">source</span></a>)</div>

I used a crochet hook to guide the yarn through the knit holes creating this triangle pattern. It was a very simple project to give this old sweater a new look. </div>

Every spring we pull the weeds and try to create a nice environment in our garden. This year we decided to leave a part of it to the wild.. and this is what happened.<br />
On another note I found this awesome lawn chair at the secondhand shop and I just had to have it! I love the colourful print, it suits our wild garden, it was uber cheap and it's super comfie too : ) win.<br />

I stitched together my last project report in order to incorporate a crafty aesthetic. I thought it would be nice to share a little 'how to' here for anyone interested in seeing how it's done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1. Use a master sheet to measure and mark out the desired location of the holes to be stitched.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkFn1MGIUzde27JDXV6N4zNmWvfUbagfszksIhxG9SBN8iq08DiEtDnqpsNfz7-8f8YAwfsk4S7naPjkgH6tFzfuQWrQ_lZRqrH2YJ1kNSHpSWJ-hA-7EDojthC9Rts6EzadeMWA3VlXr4/s1600/2pin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkFn1MGIUzde27JDXV6N4zNmWvfUbagfszksIhxG9SBN8iq08DiEtDnqpsNfz7-8f8YAwfsk4S7naPjkgH6tFzfuQWrQ_lZRqrH2YJ1kNSHpSWJ-hA-7EDojthC9Rts6EzadeMWA3VlXr4/s1600/2pin.jpg" /></a></div>
2. Take a pin and poke through the dots according to the master. Do this for each page of the report & for the cover page.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx3DwAtASknREtDBFlE8Cl6bA1VrTq7Q7WfmywfwNRTxjXDQVT9tzFQHLSe2cLKsY5PDWx386eKQ1tCU73vag8U5UwDsDFSeWp_eR95wnhr4wBps8i8IiDG_8-yFfmbi-kCTI0Fm0LvhlW/s1600/3title.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx3DwAtASknREtDBFlE8Cl6bA1VrTq7Q7WfmywfwNRTxjXDQVT9tzFQHLSe2cLKsY5PDWx386eKQ1tCU73vag8U5UwDsDFSeWp_eR95wnhr4wBps8i8IiDG_8-yFfmbi-kCTI0Fm0LvhlW/s1600/3title.jpg" /></a></div>
3. I took the cover page and ran it through my typewriter to add the title before stitching in the pages.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbwPr78goFStH1iPHTTaqGPMAUnNlCxcckqKTLZ2o1QjoOazyZmxP5gNubkYqpNA-uZBSLhEqA9FOR-cfBnYPdq7PxORUvwHSrPxkl8dJu6Il1_-81y99q3kC_t7aRQGeqWjdd6JXOviam/s1600/4add+pages.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbwPr78goFStH1iPHTTaqGPMAUnNlCxcckqKTLZ2o1QjoOazyZmxP5gNubkYqpNA-uZBSLhEqA9FOR-cfBnYPdq7PxORUvwHSrPxkl8dJu6Il1_-81y99q3kC_t7aRQGeqWjdd6JXOviam/s1600/4add+pages.jpg" /></a></div>
4. When the cover is ready, stitch through the first hole and make a knot in order to hold the thread in place. Once the thread is secured you can stick the pin up through the interior pages, this should be easy because you have already punched the holes in step 2.<br />

5. Continue to stitch through the pages and the cover until you reach the end. On the inside it will look something like this (above) and the outside will look something like this (below)<br />

6. Once you get to the end you can loop back around and tie another knot to secure the thread in place. I like to leave the knots on the interior of the cover so that the outside stays clean. I had several sections in my report so I stitched in each section one after the other.<br />
This stitching technique can also be done using blank paper on the inside resulting in a cute handmade sketchbook.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">June certainly presented some ups and downs for me. Overall I decided that I needed a bit of a blogging break. I am at a point now where I feel refreshed and ready to start up again. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">One of the major ups of June was finishing my final semester of school. I am so excited to be finished with that chapter and move on to the next one. My mom found this adorable bicycle bell and sent it to me as a graduation gift. It is so suiting, my bike has really been my car for the past three years here in Eindhoven. It has gotten me to school on time rain or shine day in and day out. Not to mention that it carries just about anything I require (including my oversized prototypes and a pile of 2x4's)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Who needs a car really anyways? </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I took the new bell out for a spin yesterday and met up with some friends for celebration drinks. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had such a good time this past weekend touring around the North of Holland. We stopped a few times along the way to snap the above polaroids. The purpose of the trip was to find the tulip fields, but unfortunately we were a bit late in the season to see them in full bloom. Regardless it was a lovely weekend and I am grateful that we were able to finally make it happen. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14934386772025750659noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769194626332483737.post-4227228597201846972012-05-22T23:21:00.000+02:002012-05-22T23:21:35.674+02:00planting a tulip<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yes, I know tulips are meant to be planted in late autumn in order to pop up in time for spring but I came across this little bulb on the weekend so I decided to plant it and see if it grows.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was a beautifully sunny day today (finally, it has been a long awaited spring over here in The Netherlands) perfect for a little bit of gardening. Much more to come!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This afternoon I went to make a 'Yogi Tea' - you know the brand of tea the has a sweet little message on each tea bag. Well when I opened this bag the message was 'a mother is as rich as a river'. I found it very suiting considering it's mothers day and all. So, to all you mothers out there I wish you a happy mothers day. And to my own mother, I'm missing you from across the ocean, I send you my love and positive energy today and always.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, last week flew by for me! I've been keeping busy working on my final bachelor project, I only have about a month to go :) For those of you who are curious about what I've been up to with that, I will be sharing some photos of the project soon. I'm doing a jewellery piece and it's starting to come together nicely.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was in Delft yesterday working in my supervisor's studio and on the train ride back I spotted this sweet deer in the field and I felt inspired to make a painting of her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm off to the market now, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yesterday I went to the market and picked up a bucket of fresh 'hollandse' strawberries.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Fresh fruit and a big mug of coffee on a Sunday morning is my favourite ... the only thing missing this morning is sunshine. I hope you're having a good weekend!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I found this amazing antique typewriter for pennies at the second hand shop and guess what.. it works! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made up this video to share a small oath I made to my typewriter. 'Dear Typewriter' is my twist on a vlog I hope you enjoy it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ps. any typewriter experts out there, can you please tell me what the function of this is:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">pss. I also just wanted to share two of the things that I love about this typewriter:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(1.) It has a Dutch keyboard! Yes, it is not much different from the Canadian keyboard other than the fact that it has an 'ij' key :) The 'ij' is one of my favourite elements of the Dutch language (weirdo alert) I love Dutch words that contain the 'ij', I think these sort of weird fascinations come along with learning a new language. Or maybe it's just me.</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(2.) In researching the model, I came across this advertisement. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love the slogan </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"New Post War Model" </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For me the poster creates an ambiance and a context for the typewriter.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I bought this pair of moccasins because they were so soft and cozy. They were the only pair of their kind and they fit me just right.. kind of like Cinderella's glass slipper :) Anyways, I also liked that they had no detailing because that meant I could add some personality to them myself, so that's precisely what I did this weekend. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When I was younger I had a bead weaving loom very similar to this one:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I don't have that loom here and I really wanted to get this little project rolling, so I searched my apartment for supplies to make one of my own. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here is what I came up with: </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yea that's right, I have lego in my apartment .. I'm an industrial designer, what can I say. I fashioned this makeshift loom and away I went. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In the end I attached the weaved beads to the moccasins by stitching them in place and adding glue to hold stray threads out of the way.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The other night I felt the urge to make a painting of someone I used to be very close to. Over time and as circumstances changed we drifted apart and eventually went our separate ways. Time continues to move forward and reflecting on the past now and then is good. I made this painting in reflection of the significant memories that were formed together with this very special person. After completing the main facial features I took some red and blue paint and began to splatter the canvas. Then, emerged this incredible blotch. When I look at it I see a heart that has just exploded. It was a fluke splatter but I find it incredibly bold and meaningful, so I decided to post it. </span><br />
