Wrapping up the week and a few finds

January 28th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Ceramics, Design, Jewelry, Life, Woodwork

In de beginning of the week it really felt like spring over here in The Netherlands. Now on Friday white frost is on the fields and the drinking water for the chickens was frozen this morning…

It was a busy week with placing ads in magazines to promote our In House Exposition in March, I also made a start with writing a press release, we experimented with photographing our jewelry pieces in a different way,

and finally on Monday we went to a wonderful modern dance performance in Groningen.

I wish you all a fine weekend, hope you enjoy these two finds I like to share today…

The ‘Murakami Chair’s attached lamp is powered by kinetic energy produced from the chair’s rocking back and forth. The chair, designed by Rochus Jacob, recently shared first prize at the DesignBoom Green Life Competition.

Paige Russel makes great pieces of Ceramic. This is her super modern looking Tpot with a very soft recycled wool sweater cozy…

    Love your red and silver necklace. Looks stunning against the grey.

    …and the Murakami chair looks like it was made for me.

    Douglas was in The Netherlands on Thursday and Friday and he said it was freezing. Same here. Hope it starts to warm up again soon.

    Have a great weekend.

    Yes Lois, freezing again… but the sun is out and costumers stop by on their bikes today!

    Thanks for the mention about the blog. In the meantime… I hope you feel better ?

    I also forgot something… thanks for the compliment about the red necklace Lois. Although very simple it turned out nice.

    Photo doesn’t work right I think, not very sharp but after all this was an experiment!
