A Strange Experience Today...

This afternoon was the opening of the Exhibition "Rituelen" at the Stedelijk Museum in Zwolle.
My neighbour Ellen Korth was one of the participants of the exhibition. 
She has made that beautiful book with the title: Utilité. 
I have written a blogpost about that book which can be read HERE.

 I am in that book featured with a photo while I am knitting in our livingroom. 
It is a very good photo..

 Just before we went on holiday Ellen told me that that photo was chosen to be on the invitation and the poster of the exhibition. 
I was very pleased for her ofcourse, because I think that photo is very good and I shows me the way I am. Knitting in front of a painting.

 But...there was more to come....
At the entrance of the exhibition...

 Have a look at this....

That is BIG...Really BIG...

 I had taken yarn and needles with me..
Forgot to change into that striped shirt..or...the stripes just went the other way...

 But...here am I knitting in front of...ME.

That is kind of Weird isn't it??

Next question is:

 What has he on the needles??
Just a simple scarf in stripes...
But in the most luxury yarn from Shilasdair I got from Evelien
How about a Cashmere/Angora/Lambswool blend next to 100% Silk cord??
All dyed with natural dyes..
Absolutely stunning to knit with..
Pictures will come when the scarf is done..

 The exhibtion itself shows also work by Jeanette Hoekstra as those "Conversation Pieces".
The shadow is an extra...


And recent work by her at Galerie Het Langhuis..
I really loved this!!!



Also can be seen..
New work by Ellen..this is just a little part of it...


I can tell you..
There is a Golden Madonna..but she didn't want to be pictured by me.. unfortunately..


And by Loes Heebink


Everything can be seen till  18-11-2012.

    Hartstikke leuk en het lijkt me ook een vreemde ervaring om jezelf levensgroot op een gevel te bewonderen. Wish dat ik even langs kon om het te bewonderen!

About Dutch Fishermans Ganseys..and a bit More..

Afbeelding
In my previous post I promised to write about the just released book about Dutch Fisherman's Ganseys. Written by Stella Ruhe . In Dutch the title is:  Visserstruien uit 40 Nederlandse vissersplaatsen. There is an English translation with the title:  Dutch traditional ganseys. Sweaters from 40 vilages. (I couln't find it on Amazon, but there are some book(web)shops in Holland who also deliver all around the world.) For many years I had on my bookshelve the only book on Dutch Fisherman's ganseys. Written in 1983 by Henriëtte van der Klift-Tellingen. The book is printed in black and white, has many pictures from beautifulganseys in it, and it tells the history behind them. It is a good book, but the new book is better and more interesting. (but more about that book later in this post) I have never made a gansey for myself, but I have always been attracted to them.  Dutch ganseys (and the same is for English one's) tell a history from fishermen

Crushed by Jean Paul Gaultier....

Jean Paul Gaultier ..  My Hero when I studied Fashion at Art College. I remember buying the magazine Marie Claire Bis every season.. And in the where... The most spectaculair Desi gns by him.  This afternoon I found a map full of photo's with his designs from the time I studied Fashion Design. Combinations no one ever dreamed off.. Chiffon and lace Aprons... Old Models... Amazing adverts.. Guess he was -and still is- a big inspiration for Fashion students.. I remember that we had to make an illustration with silk paper and I used one of his designs. I have always kept it. At the moment De Kunsthal in Rotterdam shows the exhibition:  The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk I went yesterday.. I had doubts ofcourse because Bram is so weak.. But the nurses told me to go.. Neighbours took care.. Jochum came and stayed the whole afternoon.. And I could take a break from a few hours,. and breath... I was a bit nervous when I
