hello - goodbye

Just preparing for the departure of Sunny Sis...

 

'Sunny Sis'

Sunny Sis.
She is not waiting for her brother Eyepatch Ed to team up with Mighty Mees against Midas.

No, Sunny Sis has a plan of her own: she is moving out. Out of this place, this street, this block. Out of this city and even, if necessary, out of this country.
Sunny Sis is heading for sunnier horizons... :)

 

Fingerlicking good...

Battle #5: 'Music'


ROLLING STONES

Back then...



...and now, still going strong!

I saw them live at a concert in The Hague, 1998. The moment of the first strike on the guitar, heaven opened  and it started raining cats and dogs. But we all had fun, the boys too ;).

so i made this famous logo-stamp

I really like the music, although there's a lot of music i like (reggae for instance, just have a look at previous stamps i made overhere and overhere).

My most favourite Stones song is 'Angie'. Beautiful:

just 6 licks i'm afraid...

 

You know the drill by now.. ;). If you want to see more musical stamps, have a look at Laëtitia's blog.

More friends

Friends, the sequel... :)
I made two more stamps for my two virgin-friends :)).

pisces - virgin - aquarius - virgin

Ready to be gift-wrapped!

Friends will be friends..

I'm going to meet my friends coming friday. We don't see each other that often but it's always nice and good when we are together. So now i'm preparing... I made these two horoscope/namestamps. Two more to go.

pisces for Jacqueline, aquarius for Hanneke

Freedom!

I never buy toy-cars. But the other day I made an exception, when I saw this one.
Everytime I see an old van like this VW on the road I dream away...

 

Battle #4: favourite children's book

Pfew... it was very difficult to choose a book... But in the end i went back to Astrid Lindgren's Ronja the Robber's Daughter. Astrid Lindgren wrote so many children's books.. A couple of them are shown here below. Films and televisionseries were made from lot's of them. 

upper left: Ronja the Robber's Daughter

This book is all about growing up and finding your freedom, i think. Ronja lives in a castle in the middle of a big forest. She loves to explore the forest with it's strange and sometimes dangerous creatures. Her father is the leader of a clan of robbers. When Ronja becomes friends with Birk, the son of her fathers' worst enemy, her father is furious. Ronja decides to leave home and live in a cave in the forest, together with Birk. They love the free life they live in the forest. Ofcourse, in the end everything is well again between Ronja and her father and even between Ronja's father and his enemy, Birks' father :).

I already made a stamp from Ronja's castle, a while back. So, now it was Ronja's turn. I thought. But paging through the book again i stumbled upon this very nice character:

A 'moen' (pronounced like the English 'moon') is a creature living underground in the forest. Their spirit is not very uplifting, they are very worried characters, mumbling, sighing and complaining all the time. Ronja has a close encounter with them when she gets stuck with her foot in one of their holes.

 

It was fun making this 'moen' stamp. It took a couple of hours, very meditating :).

Now this was my contribution to the battle. Go at Laëtitia's to see all the other stamps in this fourth battle!
