My creative workspace

Today I am working with products of nature :

 precious red coral and lava.
Just love the contrast between these two products, the irregularity and roughness of the lava combined with the shiny red lava.

Stay tuned for the finished necklace.

Recycling old clothes

My daughter pimped some old dresses and t-shirts of last summer.

Just with scissors and some knots. 

A dress that was in a t-shirt shape before the sissors passed

This was a polo-neck shirt before

Her brothers ordinary t-shirt ...

A bit risky to wear ....

This was her at the age of 3 with a handmade dress made by me ...

change of style I would say ;-)

25 years of service ... and travelling
