Mandala's mandala's...

 

Hi there !!

Loooooong time no see!
Summer is ending, winter is coming...and with that, lots and lots of cold and rainy afternoons (yuk !) to make art ( yesss!!)
I haven't been posting on my blog for a while; I have the feeling that somehow Facebook is taking over blogging a bit....at least for me that surely is the case.
But I will really try to go for more regular blogging from now on !

So let's do a little update here of what I've been doing in Artland lately:

I've 'returned' to working with my Inktense pencils once more. Too long since I've used those ! And I do really like to doodle & play with color ! So I've been making these mandala's :

 

And some have a little bit of collage:

Sooo, that's a whole lot of mandala's : I hope you like them !

Okay, bye for now and I'll be back soon ,

p.s. After coming Wednesday prints of my mandala's will be available in my Etsy store ! I'm sooo happy, I finallly found a printshop that cán actually print these bold Inktense colors !
You can't even see which one is the original and which one is printed. Totally happy with that :)

Having tea with Alice....

Hi all,

Even een kleurig werkje om deze sombere dag op te vrolijken. Gemaakt met een beetje collage, zwart-wit tangles en mijn trouwe Inktense potloden. Met een quote van de Mad Hatter : "It's always tea time! "

Made a colorful little piece to brighten up this gloomy day (grey clouds, rain brrr..). Done with a little collage, black&white tangles and my faithful inktense 'friends'. With a Mad Hatter quote; "It's always tea time! "

If it's so dark & gloomy outside, we'll just have to make our own little colorful world in art, right?

So make art and be happy!

Where is Alice??

Hi all,

Weet iemand waar Alice uithangt? Ze is vast aan de wandel ergens in Wonderland! Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat & Konijn zijn in ieder geval naar haar op zoek in mijn laaste collage/tekening.
Ik was online al heel vaak "Alice kunst" tegengekomen; dus toen ik in mijn stapel knipsels plaatjes tegenkwam van theekopjes én een konijn, moest ik wel dit ervan maken :

Does anybody know where Alice is hanging out? Probably dreamin'away somewhere in Wonderland...! Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat & Rabbit at least are looking for her in my latest collage/ drawing.
I had seen a lot of "Alice art" on line already; so when, going thru my piles, I found these teacups ánd a rabbit, I just hád to make this!

I only have one picture of 'before' (was so busy drawing I just forgot to take more pictures haha..):

I might be making some more "Alice" things; rather like the subject :) :)

So, make lots of art everyone, because it really makes you happy!
