Ball rolls - I am going to start my own business

I would like to announce that I have stopped my work
My career on Civil engineer!
Hesitation and passion, good sense and crazy approach
Last month my creative ideas overloaded my head and the decision was taken
I dare to start a new career. Maybe the career of designer
Big word and nice sense: create, create and create
Learn something new, meet new people and new ideas
Let's see
I came across the blog of Stephanie Corfee. have a look at her works
It is how I fill now: full of joy and colors!!!!

Great finding of today - Tweedekans Winkel (second chance shop)

Great finding of today  - Tweedekanswinkel in Rhoon (Dorpsdijk 149)
En English means Second chance shop

I new about the shop from local newspapers
Today we were walking with my son Gaby in the center of our city Rhoon and came in
Small shop where you can buy second-hand things
Sort of jumble sale which I like very much
You come in, you do not have any idea about what you need and then suddenly you see the object which attracts your attention and you can not leave without
The prices are mote than reasonable  - 50 cent, 1 or 2, 5 euro
I like the name very much  - second chance shop
The idea to give the second chance to the old things seemed similar to mine (up cycle clothes)

For sure I did not missed the chance to have a talk with the leader of the association Marian Heijboer
Next to the idea to give second chance to the old things there is a big project to finance the construction of a new school in Sri Lanka, sponsoring of Romanian children schooling and donation to the hospital in Ukraine
I was very happy to know that the help is personal and there is a serious control of spends in the concerned countries
These are 2 things which will find their second life at my home:
Funny box with knitting needled with ''babyshaka''-picture
and tiny manual press
The needles are not straight and ends are damaged
I love it

Mode & Design - 2nd round

Yesterday our exercise was to develop the design which we have made last time.
Drawing.
When you are not a painter and do not draw very good (as me) the task was almost as ''mission impossible''.
Finally it was easier than I thought: transparent paper + pen and based on the sketch of Marion (our teacher), my fashion lady got 4 new sets.
Here there are in black & white

Next lesson we will learn an interesting technique - how to make your own design of textile using painting & stamps....
Mmmm ... we were asked to ware old clothes!
The colors will be everywhere!!!

Puzzle

Almost all week without any posts!
Busy, busy with Etsy...
Last week I have started the new design using sleeves from pullover of DamDam.
My sister in low was worried if her brother still have something to ware.
My scissors are sharp! Attention!
So these sleeves gave me headache - I am not satisfied with the pattern.
I have to adjust it
Just to change the subject in my head I have made new pillow.
Yes I know - it is not very difficult...
I called it Puzzle. You will understand why - see the pictures below
As my sons I was busy to assemble small cuts of fabric which I use in combination with blue sleeves...
Oh these famous sleeves!

Good news!
It will not go on Etsy and not in our salon
First person who wright me email with his address will receive it by post
FREE - GRATIS - БЕСПЛАТНО - GRATUIT!!!!

''Puzzle'' is already send to the winner! Thank you!

Moi Aussi on Etsy

Hi, Privet, Bonjour, Hello!

Ouf! I have nearly finished to set my shop on Etsy. 

And I am so happy that my works were already seen.

Thank you very much for your attention and your comments.

They give me confidence, good energy and wish to create!

The name of my shop is MoiAussi13

You can find it searching with shop name or with location Netherlands, Rotterdam

Why this name?

 Oh! I thought that the chosen name is very, very unique

Apparently the combination of words Moi & Aussi is used by somebody.

I have added 13 at the end

Nice figure? N'est-ce pas?

Hope it will bring me a chance!

Mode & design - 1st round

Today I have started the course "Mode & design'' in the association SKVR.
It is fantastic!
I did not even expected that it will be so amazing and I will meet very different and interesting people.
I read on the site of SKVR that it will be course about fashion and famous designers with series of workshops.
Today was 1st round.
We have received the drawing with the women's body without any cloth.
Our teacher has prepared the copies from the books showing the works of Marliz Frencken, scissors, glue, pens, sheets from newspapers... And we have made our 1st design of clothes.
The best thing - at the end of course we will make it REAL!
I am already waiting for next week...
This is my ''Fashion Lady'':

Jean Shin

I have found the picture which fully corresponds to my creative process.
The clothes which I collect and reuse are looking as the seams at the top of the blog page.
The name of artist is Jean Shin. Enjoy her colorful projects:
