late winter light in my studio

...
the hours between 2 and 5 pm. in my studio
Miezi likes it too
difficult to work with cat on my table
it's only around this time of the year
that I get that much light in the afternoon
spring is close

the art of doing a performance

...
they expected a performance
they got some cocktails
everybody was waiting that something is going to happen
it did
but not how they expected

terapija

a good headache the day after or
already the night

I like to mix cocktails

Antwerp art weekend
and another party

next edition on 16 of february at HISK in Gent

party time

...
it's been some time since posting
I was organizing the party for my birthday

I like dress up parties
and everybody did its best

the eye I did for M.
clearly inspired by Dali

the cake I did for S.
inspired by this recipe
but used my own chocolate cake recipe

if you count the roses you get my age 

find the balance

...
Happy New Year
may wishes come true
and that you find the right balance in life

the pola I shot during the dancing on new years eve
for quite some time the balloon stayed on the lamp
it's the best pola I ever shot

festive treas

...
it's nearly christmas
and for once I decorated a bit
the best christmastree for a tiny apartment
I found in the thrift store
it's from Denmark

have a nice time and enjoy friends and family and cookies

before and after-some projects

...
a cut out of an oilpainting where some parts are good and others less good

the overpaint of an old onion "basket"

the upholstery of a saarinen tulip stoel look a like with calfskin

again on sourdough

...
I have to admit
it was not easy
after a long journey in sourdough baking
I know now how it works for me
the last loafs of bread got really good
I mean
round
bold
with air bubbles bigger then 2 mm
a crust that broke

I have learnt
that the starter really needs to be strong
that I have to feed the sourdough starter every week at least once
if I don't bake a bread, a part of it goes in the trash
that the dough may not be too sticky
that it needs time to double in volume
I do it now mostly through a whole night and bake in the morning
and I have to listen to my belly, the recipes are mostly not correct
and this book is shit-sorry-it's fool of mistakes

Grittibänz

...
a little childhood memory
the man for Santa Claus
for once no sourdough
butter and sugar and yeast
mmmh...
Miezi likes them too!

ceramic cups

...
I have a small collection of ceramic cups
most of them from thrift stores
I like when the edge is raw but thin
I like when they are simple and irregular

vintage textiles

...
from the fleas the last weeks

Kuba raffia cloth with cowrie shells and plastic beads embroidered
from DR Congo

a salomon printed curtain in halflinnen-like the eyes, actually I saw only them and not the roosters!

a very weird black printed curtain, it's almost too much, you really need a big room for this
