Goodmorning lovely ones. I planned to write a long(er) blog post today but my mum called and asked if I would like to go with them visit thrift shops today… hell YES! I just love wandering around in those stores. And because I want to re-decorate my balcony for the Summer, I also have a wish-list and I hope to find what I’m looking for..
So, a quick blog post today.
There’s nothing on my desk that I can show you (well, there IS something on my desk but it has to stay a secret for a while longer) so instead I post two photo’s that were taken in the “Pennywafelhuis” yesterday. “The Pennywafelhuis” is an ‘open atelier’ in our apartment building run by artist Marlou Pluijmaekers and photographer Anda van Riet. I sometimes go there for coffee and a laugh. Yesterday, however, I decided to put on my old sweater and go work there.
I submit this to the weekly woyww event – it’s not a ‘desk photo’ but a complete ‘open atelier photo’.
The easel I worked on was a bit wobbly so I had to put my foot on it all the time… looks pretty much ‘in action’ doesn’t it?!
I don’t have a photo of what’s on the easel though… but I do have a series of ATC’s to show you that I created a few weeks ago.

Next days are filled with all kinds of ‘stuff’ so I probably will not be able to visit woyww-deskers before Monday… but if you leave me a comment I will try and pay you a visit back early next week.
Enjoy your days,
take some action.

How awesome to have a studio space in your building! A little socializing and a lot of space to fling paint!
Happy creating, beautiful one!

Goedemorgen… enthousiast over de foto en nog meer over het idee van een atelier dicht in de buurt om samen te werken, ben ik even gaan rondtoeren. Je bent Nederlandse haha. Leuk Waar is dat Pennywafelhuis? en kun je me vertellen hoe dat werkt bij Julie? Ik ben nieuwsgierig naar het idee erachter.
Wat een geweldige foto is dat ook.
Even op je site gekeken..je maakt hele mooie dingen zeg!
Hartelijke groet en een fijne dag. Elizabeth.

Sounds like you had a super time at the easel, different easels make for more challenging work. Love those ATCs, certainly different ‘butterflies’!
Have a good week

Oh how fab to live with a shad creative area, and why I am I surprised that you do! That’s a great photo of you in action, is there any medium you do not use to express yourself. Amazing. Love the ATCs, a very timely photo from you as we’re gearing up for an ATC swap!
Florenel says
Leuk, zo’n actie-foto. Je gaat flink los zo te zien.
Hopelijk ben je geslaagd voor je balkon-inkopen.

Marit… Toch gaaf zo’n plek…hebben we hier dus ook wel. Maar het blijft aanspreken als mensen zo’n gezamenlijke ruimte hebben, vandaar mijn vraag.. Leuk dat je zo uitgebreid vertelt. En ik vind wat je maakt mooi… Ik ben niet zo art jounallig… haha. maar nu vind ik het jammer dat ik zover weg woon, anders kwam ik zeker kijken naar wat je maakt en hoe.

What a great initiative! I’d love to have something like that nearby. Love your shoes! My kind of thing! ๐
