The Italian company 24Bottles licensed these two designs for their sustainable steel bottles, one tropical print for the ‘Blossom’ urban bottle and one animal print for the ‘Cheetah’ clima bottle. That’s a stylish way to reduce plastic waste and stay hydrated.
It’s been already three weeks since we came back from our three weeks of travelling in Cuba. And now that everything is unpacked, the photos are downloaded, the stories have been told dozens of times and the whole travel experience has become categorized in my brain and body it is time to show some impressions… Read More
While I have escaped autumn for a fortnight soaking up the sun and mediterranean beauty on the island of Mallorca, this month’s collection ‘Prairie Flora’ heavily focuses on the autumn and winter season. I have signed up for a couple of projects with Patternmash and the first one was a theme called Praerielands for AW… Read More

I haven’t done a Pink Moment for a while, so now it’s time again, because it was just too good: This is a pink pigment I experimented with for painting. And it is special pigment for me, because it is a gift from my art buddy Doris Reske from her recent trip to Venice to… Read More
November is definitely a special month. Not only because my younger daughter’s birthday is at the end of it and a lot of November is spent talking about how many nights there are still left to sleep before her big day arrives. November itself is a mysterious month to me, a time for retreat, contemplation,… Read More
I designed my pattern for this week for the Spoonflower contest Moon Phases. It is another pattern from my Mallorca holiday and was created under the influence of the full moon there, right in front of our balcony: I like circles and circle-based designs and this geometric pattern came together in Illustrator: Head over to… Read More
