Fashion Collaboration with Isy B. Design / Cayman Islands

As you might have guessed from my artwork, there is nothing I like designing more then tropical prints. Let me tell you a little story from my designer’s life. One day in mid-November 2016 (like Nothern Germany grey rainy cold November, actually we had had the first snow that week) I came across an e-mail… Read More

Sacred Ibis – an Australian children’s brand

Today I am very happy to introduce the Australian children’s clothing brand Sacred Ibis to you. But first, I have a little personal story to share how we got to know each other. In summer 2014 our family travelled around Thailand. On the little paradise-like island of Koh Tao we met Carly Jordan and her… Read More

Candy and Helga

Last year around this time I sewed myself a pair of pants. I had so much fabric left over, that I could cut it out to sew a tunic like this one, this time with short puffy sleeves and a size tighter. And since then, the cut-outs have been lying around. The months passed and… Read More

Pink Moment of the Week

My yoga students continue to surprise and amaze me. Not only through their practice. Especially in my prenatal and mama- and baby yoga classes, where I see my students grow and change during quite a wonderful and intense time, I sometimes get lovely cards and presents. Like this week: A sewing book for yoga clothes… Read More

Suzani Skirt

Here it is, my first pattern design on a piece of clothing. My go-to-sewing-pattern-for-a-simple-skirt is Caprice by Mamu Design. I can wear it in summer, and with leggings for the rest of the year, I even wear it in yoga classes. I sewed a similar skirt last January (and wrote a similar-looking post about it)… Read More

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‚Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?‘ Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” 
― Marianne Williamson

Would you have guessed that I painted these flowers digitally, solely on the iPad? While most digital artists prefer Procreate, I love Adobe Fresco for its unpredictable watercolour brushes which bring much of the beauty and magic of real watercolours 🎨💫

For those of you who are interested in trying digital watercolour painting on the iPad I have a whole beginner class on @skillshare on this topic where we will paint crocuses in the snow, a little harbinger of spring. You can find the link to the class in my bio linktree ⬆️ It also gives you a month on Skillshare for free, with access to all my classes and thousands more.
