My creative work during week 19 has mainly been going through some of my illustrations and added them to my portfolio on c ccillustrator webpage. I have also uploaded my Düsseldorf gift bags and wine bags in my webshop.  Our Düsseldorf time is coming to an end this summer so I have gone through my prints and cards and I will bring them to Düsseldorf International School market end of May.   

First of a few long weekends during May month in Germany. I had booked a trip with friends driving to the coast of Belgium which is 3,5 hours away from Düsseldorf ( depending on traffic around Antwerpen and Kennedy Tunnel). We booked hotel on the beach in Blankenberge and only 10 min on a fast train to Brugge. I am making the most of living close to everything since we soon will be living very far away from everything. This trip was planned as a birthday celebration trip for Filips 8th birthday together with close friends and I was thinking Belgium waffles, fritjes and chocolate will be perfect ingrediens for a great weekend. Brugge is a city I really wanted to see and experience and I was super excited to go on this trip and also to see Belgium beach in Blankenberge. I had explain for the kids that our hotel is right on the beach, but I guess they couldn't quite picture it because they were soo amazed when we got their. The weekend was great and the weather was on our side, warmes

 My creative work during week 17 was mainly wine bags and wine ladies. The project started with that I was sewing gift bags for bottles. With my Cricut machine I made cute wine texts that I ironed on. Super cute and stylish wine gift bags - but I felt it was not really my style.  I was doing some thinking and I decided that the bags are missing my illustrated people to make it more fun and my style. I was sitting drawing some alternative and thinking how I can get them on the the bag  Here above are all my Vino ladies ready to bright up my bags. I printed them on transfer paper and ironed them on. And voilá !! Welcome Vino bags to my ccillustrator growing gift-bag collection What do you think of my new bags?
