Today I went out for a walk and took my camera with me to take some photo's of the remains of the firework. Just to show you that even trash can sometimes be beautiful.

Below three of my photo's.

Day 348 - Product design: warm your hands with these sweater mugs

I just came home from a walk with my dog. A little cold. Winter is on its way. So I decided to make a cup of hot tea.

I would like to have the cute and cozy mugs you see below. Mugs, made of porcelain, that wear little sweaters and warm your hands and your body :-)

They are for sale at Yanko Design.

Day 339 - Creative and tasty snowman: DIY popcakes

Talking about snowman...

Day 338 - First snow of the year has fallen: time for a creatieve snowman

Yesterday we had a terrible storm: rain, wind, trains that stopped riding, high waves, trees that fell down...

Today is another story: it's wintertime. The first snow of this year has fallen. Too bas it is already melting, otherwise It would have been fun to make a snowman. Not an ordinary snowman, but something special.

Like the one you see below: Snowpy :-)

Day 308 - New photo challenge: rain

As you know, I am in a photography class. Each week we get a challenge.

The challenge for this week is: rain.Not just rain, but we need to try to find a creative way to make a photo of rain.

As it rained a lot this weekend, I had the opportunity to start this project. The photo below is taken from the inside of the car. The raindrops on the window transform the photo into a watercolor painting. I like it a lot. Unfortunately I did not have my camera, so I had to use my phone. Therefore the quality is not that goo :-(

Day 301 - Minimal illustration: stormy weather

Today the weather is really stormy: the wind is blowing, leaves are flying around, trees are falling down, trains stop riding... People are told to stay inside.

Tis stormy day inspired me to make this illustration of windmills. As you can see, one of them has fallen down... even the windmills can't resist the storm.

Day 300 - Fashio design: fashion illustrations made of leaves

It's autumn. Leaves are falling, the wind is blowing and for some reason it inspires many designers.
Photographers, but also illustrators. Such as Tang Chiew Ling form Malaysia. She creates the most beautiful fashion illustrations by combining her drawings with leaves.

Here are two of her illustrations.

Day 286 - Photography challenge: Autumn (3)

The new photo challenge is autumn.  Yesterday I posted a photo of the sun shining across the trees that still have their leafs.

Today I like t share another autumn photo with you. This photo is taken on a few days ago. It was a little foggy and there were drops hanging on the threads of the spiderwebs.

Day 285 - Photography challenge: Autumn (2)

The challenge for this week is autumn. A few days ago, I already posted one of my photos.
But I made a few more this week.

What I like about autumn, are the days that start foggy and end sunny. I like it when the sun peeks through the trees, like in the photo below.

Day 278 - Photography challenge: autumn

This week we got our new challenge for the photography course I'm in: autumn.

So I took my camera today and went out to the forest. My dog, a weimaraner, was happy to go out and had a lot of fun with some other dogs.

Meanwhile I was looking for the first signs of autumn: colored leafs, mushrooms and... chestnuts!

Here's one of today's photo's.

Day 80 - Spring it is, love is in the air - tree art

Finally, it's Spring!

Love is in the air: birds are singing loud and building nests.

And we, we are looking forward to go outside for a walk, a run,
a drink, a sunbath... and some of us express their love in a special way.

In today's paper I came across a wonderful photo sequence of hearts, carved in trees.
The photos are taken by Marc de Haan, a Dutch photographer.
