i love finding nice stuff..





I was browsing through Elle Decor's blog and came accross this- which i think is awesome...
I couldn't find alot of info on the artist but she goes by the name "Knitalatte". Wonderful how she has used the natural fibres and organic materials so beautifully..So simple. Things like this make me happy..

tilburg

Saturday we had a huge trip planned to Antwerpen but things with the train didn't work out, track working and shit, so we found ourselves stuck in Roosendaal, which- safely said, is probably the worst place in Holland EVER. I did find a cool fat suit though. We then made our way to Tiblurg where we devoured Belgium waffels (seeing that we missed out on the real ones) and just huing out in the cool city.

There was some music festival in Eindhoven the past few days and shit was crazy! They had these massive orange balloons on the lamp posts- thought it looked nice against the blue sky..

tiles...and hell

At the moment one of our classes (engineering) we have to make tiles in ceramic. This is a pretty hellish process as they have to be super perfect and when your tile shifts during the first stage already (pouring the plaster for the mould) you know you have problems- yes..Famke has problems. Following this my mould broke when producing my fifth tile. Oh the joy of ceramics. We were to produce a tile with a pattern on it, the tile should be able to be arranged into at least three different patterns, one with no gaps. Here is the process so far..It's really an exercise in testing your patience! - Enjoy!


This is my mould.

Hammering the tile out of the mould. Sore biceps.


Trying to figure out what went wrong...

Figured out what went wrong!

Dirty clothes..part of the fun

And my final tiles, with an approving stare from dear Obama..

Eindhoven "beach"




Today we went to the beach. To the beach in the middle of the city. To the beach on the highway. To the beach in Eindhoven. The beach- hahhaha. This man made dam was definately a good change of scenery but certainly nothing close to our beautiful Camps Bay!
