@ work - getting ready for some designer markets



I was already stressing this week because the Kwak-exhibition (which was great, thank you all for coming!) is only just finished and I'm already thinking about the next event. My very first designer-market is coming up and I only got a few weeks to prepare and create enough stock. But then I got confirmation for another one! Which is GREAT but means less time to prepare and more stock to make (and more stress but also some excitement of course).
Thinking about presentation, pricing, and selecting what to sell ...

A Decay of Literature

-

Een verval van de literatuur


And I found myself a spot in the most beautiful room in the village; the council in city hall. With beautiful books going back more than 200 years. The perfect environment for the theme of my work.

En ik vond mijzelf een plekje in de mooiste ruimte in Leest; de Raadzaal in het dorpshuis, met prachtboeken die tot 200 jaar teruggaan. De perfecte situering voor de thematiek van mn werk.

New in: 19th century stamped plates

I've got myself some new beauties to work with:


These are stamped plates and are used for chandelier-chain-decorations (I have no clue if that's got a name?)
They are probably 19th Century, maybe early 20th. (... I think; if anyboy could tell me more?)
