Brushes

I saw this collection here: it is the brush museum of LABOUR AND WAIT.
If you like to see more brushes:
look here (mieke willems)
and here  (atswim-two-birds)
and also here where you can see a very beautiful photo

and another brushmaker and his shop

And the brushes are taking my thoughts to something else:
the work of the photographer KOICHIRO DOI.

Timber!

Back home from the Netherlands. Learning to make spoons at such a place in the woods: it was just brilliant!
We made them out of birch-wood. The most difficult part is learning to use the tools and in the beginning it is better to be careful because everything is razor-sharp. So I took it slow.
That is why I still have to finish some of the spoons. I hope I find the time to do that soon.
But my first spoon is ready and I am a bit proud of that first tiny creation.
