Tulips from Amsterdam

Dear blog reader,
Flowers have a hold on me at the moment! Inspired by the heart-warming colours red, orange and yellow I created a field of tulips. Three of them are brooches, the rest are pendants. My aim is to find out if tourists would be interested in them. Project!

Flower Power

Dear blog reader,
Today is officially the most depressing day of the year (it was on the news even): the Christmas and New Year festivities are behind us, and ahead lie many a dark and cold day still until Spring. No wonder then that the flower is the best selling item of this moment!
They are cheerful to look at, eye catching, and they do not need any water.

So here is a bit of Spring on your computer screen. Have a great week!

Men's wear

Dear blog reader,
not so long ago someone asked Johan if I also made jewellery for men. I do indeed! Johan wears some of my necklaces regularly (that is how this all began really, that is how other people saw my work and became interested), and this is one of them:
The pendant is 4 cm in diameter, and 1 cm thick, so nice and chunky.


Furthermore, I once made a bracelet upon a male friend's request: on one side the beads are black, and on the other they are black with a twist of silver and some dark purple. Quite suitable for someone who wears a lot of black.


So fellas, just let me know what you are looking for, and I will see if I can create it for you!

Playing shop

Last Tuesday I played shop at the office. Main reason: a colleague of mine was looking for presents for 2 of her friends, necklaces, and asked me if I could make something. As you know, Between Christmas and New Years I made lots, and decided to bring everything with me.
So not to bother anyone, I displayed it all in a small meeting room in the window sill, with the Arena at the background.

And luckily she found what she was looking for!
