This is not a fairytale – if you read my post about “Lord of the Rings” (03-13)
\nyou knew already that the girl is me\u00a0(in 1988\/1989 – still\u00a0young and pretty.)
\nI asked you if you’d like to see pictures of my former work and the objects at my graduation\u00a0exhibition and you answered you’d like that so I searched for my logbook and photo’s.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The photo’s of the objects at the graduation-exhibition are of bad quality (we took slides\/transparencies at that time, the photo’s are made out of that) but you’ll get the idea of the\u00a0artwork\u00a0I made back then.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And than there is this: the Scrap-a-Licious Weekend is about to begin!!!!!!!! Only 4 days to go… I’ve already received mail from a lady who will be there too on Sunday (Hey there Petra!) and of course I’ll meet this teachers:<\/p>\n Corinne Delis<\/a> I’m getting more curious and exited every day!<\/a>
\nThis was my\u00a0(self made)\u00a0
\nbig, BIG log book
\n(12 X 15\u00a0inch!)<\/p>\n<\/a>I trained myself in writing “Dwarfish”…
\n(With help of\u00a0Tolkien’s books about the languages he created,
\nI converted\u00a0the alphabeth\u00a0into a
\n“dwarf-alphabet”…
\nso actually this is plain Dutch but noted down in “dwarf-font” )
\nI still can do this,
\nafter a bit of rehearsing…!!!
\nIt makes a nice secret code letter don’t you think? (wanna hire me as a spy?)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nLittle sketch for work\u00a0referring to King Th\u00e9oden
\n(character from the book)<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n…and one of the works that came
\nout of that sketch.<\/p>\n
\nSee how long I’ve been scrapping already!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
\nLittle drawing:
\n“Fall of Barad-d\u00fbr”
\n(the tower Sauron was residing)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nLittle drawing:
\n“Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee
\non their way to Mordor.”<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nSketch for an object made out of steel (spiral) and paper (dish).<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nObject:
\nSteel spiral, Eggshell filled with dry roses in the middle (symbolic for life is fragile, even though you try to protect it with barriers…. I meant something like this I think but it’s a long time ago so don’t pin me down on this explanation!)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nObject of painted heavy metal and painted feathers… referring to Nazg\u00fbl<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nFragile object. Paper with Dwarf Signs and twigs tied together.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nObject:
\nbalancing twig on fork-shaped twig.<\/p>\n
\nand symbolic references…
\nNever thought that much about “my style” – I just\u00a0use whatever I think fits
\nthe subject and photo – but I guess I have my own style after all!<\/p>\n
\nHope you liked it too…<\/p>\n
\nBirgit Koopsen<\/a>
\nDina Wakley<\/a>
\nMartha Bonneau<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nBut I’ll also try\u00a0to put some scrapping time in and show you a lay out
\nbefore Sunday, so see you all! Je t’embrasse!<\/p>\n
