Darwin en de konijnen...nieuwe etsen van 2 deelnemers van de cursus etsen maken in KunstCentrum Tholen.

Darwin and the rabbits.  These are a selection of new etchings from 2 participants of the etching courses in KunstCentrum Tholen.  The etchings of Darwin are colour etchings made by applying a rainbow of coloured inks to the copper plate and working them carefully into the design without removing too much ink or leaving too much on the plate.  The rabbits were made on copper plates and have been inked in with black and sepia inks.

More new etchings.  The etchings with the beach huts and bicycles have been treated with an aquatint and the cat and huts have been coloured in using watercolour.

Flags and wardrobes - local craft supplies and crafts people in Tholen

The Flag: In Tholen there's a fantastic haberdashery called Astid Kleermakerij.  It's a treasure trove of fabric, wool, buttons, advice and the unexpected.  Using a selection of material featuring dutch style motifs, with clog wearing children, windmills and alike, I made a flag for the atelier. A little bit of red, white and blue to brighten up the corner between atelier28 and idee bij leen (our new neighbour, with handmade jewellery, memo boards, soap chains and much more!!). 

The wardrobe: We've been looking at wardrobes for years to fit in out attic appartment...and couldn't find one that fitted, both in size and style. Tholen is full of craftsman, so I made a design sketch for a simple rustic wardrobe and Sjaak Lindhout from a local interior design and furniture makers got to work for us. It was even erected in situ since the stairway is too narrow. It's just what we wanted! A 'what you see is what you get' wardrobe. Lovely chunky doors which look different in all lights.  It even smells nice!
