scapulier
recently i am fascinated by those little medals that all kinds of religions and different tribes make to protect their babies. to be worn close to the skin, close to the heart. i made a little silver baby, 12 mm high to be worn by a baby , yet to be born, still waiting for the good news of a boy or a girl

in process
flor, the pinguin recently came to live on my workbench. he will become a necklace I guess but he is not convinced yet
flor also brought a friend : jan, the man of all powers, he has a big mouth but the sweetest heart, that's why i like to pin him as a brooch for little boys
this little girl, i called her miep, the mouse is a bit shy in the beginning but I foresee a great future for her as little girls' friend.
but for now they have a good time together and i just have a lot of work to do
(all figurines made in 100% sterling silver)

spring thoughts
a new carpet, made by my mother when she was 19, makes the carpet 50 years old, the colors fit perfectly in our house today
lots of work to do, just wondering if in 50 years my digressions also will find a new home

old habits
F started drawing again. friday evenings and saturdays are filled with ink and pencils and the friendship of an art school
blue doors
my favourite part of the house is closed only by an old stable door. in spring and summer the big door is always open, in autumn it allows to sit outside while being covered from rain and wind. to keep the cold out on winter days we made an extra set of doors; this weekend i covered them with ice blue wall paper.
just need an extra set of blankets as the room has no heating

the box
the box we would save in case of a fire
containing next to all documents of the adoption, all souvenirs of those first days,
his kazakh felt shoes, his first toys,
most important, a small blanket in blue and orange, given to him when we left the orphanage together, a present from the director to comfort him when he would be scared. it was made in the house and she strongly believed the smell would make him brave, still today M believes in it. and still today it works
those first days , food was extremely important, so the box also contains his favourite russian cheese package
