a lot of process, not that much product

It seems that in summer I don't quite get things done that quickly as I want to ;-)
Eventhough it felt as I was in the clouds constantly (this heat is killing my creativity!), I somehow managed to finish off some projects or start some new ones up:
A lot of drawing lately for a new project (pictures will follow soon - I h o p e)
Finishing off orders
Making new Yes You Cans
Finding new inspiration (mostly at unexpected places)
Making prototypes for a new stage collection for Sarah Ferri, a Belgian singer
Repairing friends' clothing & making belated and on-time birthdaygifts

...
My thoughts are still with Sandra, a dear woman who passed away way too early.
This text was on her prayer card, it resembles her & my feelings a lot:

Happiness is a journey
not a destination
Work like you don't need money
Love like you've never been hurt
And dance like no one's looking.

a little pimpin' on the side

The organisers of de Invasie asked me to cooperate in a pimp-project for a competition Beresterk did on de Invasie van Gent.
I could either choose between a product of Eskimo or Herschel.
Herschel seemed to me more of a challenge and so came the day that this package arrived:

It took me a week to finish the pimping...

and this is the result!

 
Visitors of de Invasie van Gent could vote for their favourite pimped product (we were 4) and then 4 people got selected and won our products!
Apparantly my bag was clearly the favourite, so I was very happy with the pat on the back :-)
Good luck Lynn T. with your new backpack!
