SORRY dear blogger friends! I know there are promises from my side to report more on Paris and notorious Queensday, but today I make space for wonderful artist Anook Cleonne as I had lunch with her last Saturday. Actually it was supposed to be just a coffee from which we moved to lunch and then to a bottle of white wine :).
Anook is a wonderful artist who graduated cum laude from the prestigious Dutch Art Academy "The Rietveld" and her work is in the collection of various museums. We had great inspirational talks and we could have gone on forever (and we probably will).
Anook recently started the initiative "You're a Gem". A very original gesture/gift to say thank you. She handcrafts wonderful gem pins: a porcelain pebble glazed in real gold, mounted on a silver pin. None of the pins are identical.
And guess what! She has donated a pin as a give away!
Here are the details to ENTER the GIVEAWAY:
• Visit her website Je Bent een Kei and take a peek (she also has a website on her work but it is in Dutch only)
• Leave a comment in this post letting us know that if you were to win the gem pin WHO you would give it to and WHY
The winner will be chosen on Monday May 10!
To illustrate that Anook is more than the Gem girl I have included 2 images of her fabulous flower drawings which are on my wishlist!

ReplyDeleteCould I keep it fro myself?? hahahaha, or my mom, she would love it, im sure, it would make a great mother's day gift!!
Thanks!!
I tried to write on this blog but it did not work..I really need to write something about this beautifull byoux..I just love the simplicity in it and the fact you can give it each day another interpretation...well. that's what I like and use to do with this kind of 'silent beauty's'.
ReplyDeleteI think I will offer it to...myself. Sometimes you have the right to be a little bit egoistic. It will give me strenght and energy. That's what I feel when I look at it. Imagine the real touch. Bravo Anook...
I can see why they are on your wish list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteCompliments to you Anook, for a wonderful idea, and a beautiful interpretation!I know a great person who wold deserve the gem pin, after 15 years of not having been in touch he heard I was in trouble getting me and my stuff to Italy, and he drove me all the way there! That is what I call e REAL FRIEND. Jac
