knip- en plakwerk

Onverwacht een vrije dag vandaag, 

dus ik deed achterstallig knip- en plakwerk.

------------------------

An unexpected day off today,

so I did some cutting and glueing.

one busy saturday

Eén drukke zaterdag =

vier zelfgemaakte boekjes.

Zo leuk om te doen!

-----------------------------------

One busy saturday makes

four handmade notebooks.

Great fun!

envelope accordion

Een accordeon van enveloppen.

In elke envelop iets anders,

dat is nog eens leuk om te versturen!

------------

An envelope accordion.

In every envelope I put something else,

so much fun to make and send!

paper friends

Nieuwe vriendjes voor mijn boom: kraanvogels. 

Fijn een uurtje vouwen en

tevreden naar het resultaat staren. 

-------------------------

New friends for my tree: paper cranes.

I spent an hour folding these and

now I'll spend an hour staring at them.

nice present number 1

a box of matchbox label stickers, yippeee

fame...?

A while ago mamutopia got featured in a Dutch magazine called 101 woonideeën. They mentioned my etsy, but too bad they didn't notice my little shop was already closed for weeks! Ah well, it's nice anyway :)

I still have some copies of the 'zelfmaakspecial' left. Is there anyone in the Netherlands who wants to have a copy? Let me know, give me your address (mamutopia@gmail.com), and I'll send you one!

doodling away

Today I'll just doodle away.

summer necklace

I don't like jewelry, but I do like wooden beads!

four colour pencil

When I was a kid I used to have a four colour pencil 

and now I have one again!

paper cuts

All patiently waiting.

what's that?

A new idea!

a bright collage

Another moodboard for a homework assignment.

And yes, that cloud really insisted to be in there!

happy packages

A little, cheerful package to celebrate a birthday!

handmade hello

Hello!

crafting your way to the top

Look, this book will lead me to a mamutopia imperium :)

I received it as a birthday gift,
but I still haven't sat down to read it properly.

Ah well, at least I've photographed it, that's a start!

Does anyone have this book?

my creative journal

I almost forgot how fun it is to paint, cut, glue and write!

Maybe it would also be nice to share pages 

from my journal every now and then.

it's not even valentine

but there's always an excuse for an extra heart.

origami trees make a better world

I brightened this gray forest up with some friendly trees.

You hardly see it but they are made of origami hearts!

(if you click on the picture you see a bigger version)

more clouds

Will I ever get bored by clouds?

hooray!

Pssst, it's someone's birthday today!

Can you tell I love wrapping presents?

Hopefully he doesn't look here today :)
