READY!

This is a piece of double weave,
in linen and cotton, and some polyester fluo thread.
It took quite some time to weave it,
but I really like the result
and it's not a heavy scarf, as some people think...

Soon in my webshop,
but you can also stop by to have a look at it,
as textiles are always much nicer in real life :-)
Or send me an email if interested...

JUST SOME PICTURES

summer feeling...

THE IOU PROJECT

"Using technology we create mass market potential

for an easy-to-wear line of clothing based on the idea

that each piece is handmade and completely unique.

The uniqueness of each item allows us to provide traceability

right down to the weaver that hand-wove the fabric.

The stories of how that item was created, of the people involved,

of the customers who purchased them,

are the essence of the the e-commerce social network

which we have built as a meeting place for a community

that shares our brand values of authenticity,

transparency, uniqueness and both social

and environmental responsibility."

Needless to say I like this project a lot! :-)

DOUBLE WEAVE AND SOME OTHER THINGS...

My first steps in double weave.

A very nice present.

Jean Brusselsmans, a nice exhibition I saw today in Ostend.

A picture from the place I work.

Last week we went to Paris to see Leviathan by Anish Kapoor.

Overwhelming...

ONE SHEEP SWEATER

Curious about how this project is going to work out!

"We are currently working on a new collection
of knitted sweaters that are each made from
the wool of one of these merino sheep.
There is only one flock of merino sheep
in the Netherlands, owned by Mathee Kamp.
The sheep have been shorn and
the wool is on the way to be washed and spun."

NOT TOO ARTY

I have done a small cooperation with Yves Drieghe,
from 'Not Too Arty'.
We designed a print together,
based on one of my scarves,
and I made 2 mini scarves,
for the "very limited" t-shirts. :-)
They are for boys/men,
and for sale here.

Nice working with you Yves!
