Screaming for culture.




In 2011, there will be 200m€ less available in The Netherlands to be spent on arts and culture. So 75,000 of us protested against this change.

Mashushka.






Click on this image for more detail. Yes, there's a drawing of a girl on a giraffe.








Sometimes I see things I like beyond words.

Masha is in the same screen printing group as me on Mondays. Her work in class had already caught my eye. I bumped into her yesterday in the Printroom and she told me about her website:

Masha, you might see this post, hope you don't mind me posting these. I love what you do.

With you.

Even work doesn't feel like it when you're around.

We made a Rietveld chair in a couple of hours.


Selecting the pallet wood.
Measuring.
Riny gave me more drill power.
Wijbrand and Riny are looking a bit worried about my drilling abilities.

Let's brand it!


Beautiful!
The result.
The feeling of satisfaction.

Wijbrand's very well organized workshop.

The chair's new home.

Phil and I went to the Haka Festival on Saturday to participate in this workshop organized by Wijbrand Boon en Riny Lettow to build a Rietveld chair out of a pallet. When we got there the time of the workshop had changed (without notice), so we had missed it, but Wijbrand and Riny were kind enough to invite us to their workshop the following Tuesday to do it there.

It was a great morning and very satisfying to see how easily one can build a beautiful and comfortable chair. Wijbrand and Riny were very kind and patient teachers and made us delicious coffee and provided us with interesting conversation. Thanks very much for the invitation, it was great fun!

Body language.



Almost tradition: weekend at Buurse.

It was greener than last year, Autumn is a bit slower this time.
The wildlife in the surroundings.
Fascinated by the silicon marbles.
Tessa has a wide collection of cheerful socks.



We had a problem. (Photo by Peter)
Notice the safe distance everybody takes from the cow except me... until Joost told me that people had been harmed by the West Highland cows. (Photo by Peter, who also felt very brave.)

Joost let me use his camera with a 30mm lens that I feel very jealous of.
