In sickness and in health


Last week I got infected with the flu (as so many among us).  After a couple of days I had the courage to take up my crochetneedle again and started working on some new pieces.



The more vibrant the colors, the better I was starting to feel!

Totally cured now :-)

One in the series : les doux et durs - the soft part are the crocheted tubes - the hard part are onyx beads and some african vinyl circles.

Istanbul bead shopping

I have been bead shopping in Istanbul already twice.  Of course you can find a variety of
gemstones and great items in the 'Grand Bazaar' but my favorite place is the Marputcular Is Merkezi.
A variety of little shops selling gemstones, beads and craftmaterials all kind.


My friend Marinka was in Istanbul and brought me these special gemstones.


And I made another 'Les Doux & Durs' with it !

Saturday Shopping Day




The result of 'My creative space' this week







Remember the 'Tagua Nuts' ? I mixed them with rubberthread I once bought in Istanbul for a playful effect
