A sign of spring..

A belated sign of spring to you, the baby blue tit that had escaped from its nest, stayed in my garden and left in the evening, flying away impressively (for such a youngster). Hopefully it won't forget the place it was born :)

An exhibition and features..

Are you getting in a autumnal mood? I am, the weather is changing fast and the garden is getting ready to sleep. I love the scents of moist and decay of leaves. The tones of amber and yellow about to introduce themselves. And the peace in the morning and mist low on the fields...

I was featured these last weeks!

My rose was featured on Helis "Friday is my day" blog.
And Papernstitch made me a featured seller on their blog.
Simply Hue has featured my tulips.

I feel so happy about this. Thank you!!

I can also announce a groupexhibition in the Kolping Hotel in Cologne in Germany, where I will show three photographs from my "Quiet land series" and this exhibit will last until the first of november. So in case you are in the neighbourhood, just walk in the reception area and take a look.

Papernstitch and SoopSee

I have been working this week about my exhibit on Papernstitch, which will be up a month and I have started my account on SoopSee, I love its design and I have all together, my shop with all the newest and older work, and my blog and e mail. Take a look if you have a moment..

Back from the summer country..

..and hot it was!! The sun got to me this time, I looked like a lobster despite the suncream factor 50. Something must have been very wrong with that cream:) We visited several islands on a boat trip and I was on a all terrain vehicle crossing like a mad woman through Konavle finest and roughest terrain. Only once I ended in the bushes and I find that a remarkable accomplishment, me being not so much of a dare devil!

Holidays were too short, but I feel still very much in a summer mode, so photos will be uploaded on a later date.

I have great news to share as well, my mother was declared healthy again, no more bad cells in her body anymore, she has been such a warrior these past six months and this time she conquered this horrid disease, I'm a happy person, and feel so very relieved..

What can I say, time just flies, especially when the sun is shining and the garden is in full bloom and holidays are about to happen. So this week I'm off, flying to higher temperatures and stony beaches and wine and long evenings...

I wish you all wonderful and relaxing holidays yourselves!

I'll be back in August ...


See you!

The first roses in my garden..

Just a small update...

I am working on a photoshoot of my roses in the garden and these are the very first ones!

I have printed this photograph on a new paper, Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Satin. This is an amazing professional art paper. I'm a matt finish girl, and textured it must be too, the paper. It's not that i totally dislike glossy papers, but it is close to it:)

This paper offers some satin shine though, and it is textured, but very smooth. The great thing is also that the printed area has the semi gloss finish, and the unprinted area remains matt. Just magic, it feels and looks very luxurious, I'm very content with the Hahnemuhle fine art papers and this paper is definately an upgrade for the print options in my shop.

This photo rag satin paper is also approved by Epson for the Digigraphy program. And what that is all about you can read here.

A busy weekend!

How was your mothers day weekend? I was actually busy being.... a mom.

Daughter was packing her suitcase because she is now spending a week in Paris with her school. Oldest son is busy working things out, since in a week he'll leave home for a year, he took a job in a large tourist company in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Which is actually a great opportunity for a student in his last year. And my other son, tja, he was busy spending a free day..

Not so glamorous than, but in all honesty, I'm a mom, all year around. No need for me to have a special day, all days are special anyway.

And for my mom? She is special to me every day!!!

For the rest I was very busy online, since the weekend deals on etsy has proven to be a succes. I have sold quite a lot of work in two days, which is unusual for me. So I printed and packed and double checked addresses, and double checked again:) And had a lot of convos and I have send a lot of convos too..Marvelous! I heart my customers, I heart everyone that supports my art..

Here you see many of the goodies in my Wren bag and a package on the right. On the box is my Giddy from Artminds 99 feelings project. Do you see Ravenhills needlebook? Lovely isn't it!

Now I better go to the postoffice to send my prints on their way to their new walls...

See you!
