PARIS AND OTHER THINGS

SAINT-FORGET

PARIS

HOME

Last weekend Jeffrey had to deliver a sofa in Saint-Forget,

not that far from Paris. The sofa was for a beautiful house designed by Le Corbusier,

and the cat you see in the picture above is Jacob, living in that house,

surrounded by that beautiful garden, with the water running through it...

We had the pleasure to sleep in a cabane in the garden, also designed by mister Le Corbusier.

This is the sofa-story on Jeffreys blog:

Ofcourse we visitied the Paris, being so close.

We just walked and walked and enjoyed the sun, crepes, coffee, wine and some shopping.

At home, I just have been doing small stuff on my loom.

The piece you see above was just some leftover warp from Lilou's scarf,

and now I'm selecting colours for a summerscarf.

And again I have a question!

This summer Jeffrey and I are planning a summertrip to Finland.

Does anyone have tips for nice things to do/see there,

textile and not-textile related? :-)

We are going by car and taking our bikes for three weeks.

Hope to hear from you!

!! LILOU !!

Lilou has been delivered.

Hope to get a picture of the dress and the scarf on the girl! :-)

Now I am planning some summerscarves,

just because I feel like weaving them.

And maybe fabric for a bag, for me.

Have some things in my head,

hope they come out right... :-)

Today we are off for Paris for a few days.

For work and for holiday,

you will see some pictures here next week I guess!

Bye bye!

LILOU AND LINEN

The garden in bloom, Jeffrey feeding the birds.
Still weaving the scarf for Lilou,
it contains quite a lot of linen, I hope I can get it soft enough,
anyone tips for making the linen feel softer?
Washing helps, but maybe there are some other methods...

TAKING IT EASY

Working on a scarf for Lilou, the sister of Lux.

There's also a dress to match, but more about that later.

Also have been making a book about my work,
for a competition involving arts and crafts
and a big price to win.
Hope more about that later too! :-)

I'm enjoying spring
and taking it easy.
My body gave me a warning,
so I have to listen I guess.

And still enjoying HOME,

even from the outside of the building...

BEFORE I GO BACK TO COLOUR

Pictures of the panels I promised!

I visited the house yesterday afternoon,

and it really is a 'shadowplayer', 

I could stay there all day and take pictures 

of the shadows it makes on the floor and ceiling.

You can see each panel on this Pinterest board,

or on my Flickr.

The panels are for sale,

so if anyone is interested in buying one of them,

they're 100 euro each, 

but check the pictures, some are already sold.

My email is ilse.acke@telenet.be if someone has questions! :-)

Now I am off for some colour picking at my atelier,

ready to start weaving again!
