Vandaag gaat het weer

Wat gaat er vandaag weer? Schrijven bedoel ik normaal gesproken als je met de blogchallenge meedoet is het de bedoeling iedere dag een blog te schrijven. Maar je kunt je wel voorstellen dat mijn gedachten op 2 oktober meer bij onze dochter schoonzoon en kleinzoon in Las Vegas waren. We zijn dan ook zeer gelukkig dat het onze kinderen daar goed gaat alhoewel onze schoonzoon zich op het moment van de schietpartij ook in het casino Mandalay Bay bevond voor werkzaamheden.
We waren blij s'morgens al een tel. van onze dochter te ontvangen dat ze okay waren.
Daarna moesten Dieter en ik even naar Valkenburg naar het museum Land van Valkenburg om dat de tentoonstelling waar ik aan mee deed afgelopen was na drie maanden en ik 4 mooie werken van mij moest afhalen. Die komen het eind van deze maand in een tentoonstelling van het gemeente huis Echt-Susteren te hangen.

Winterlandschap textiel wanddecoratie

Thuis gekomen kon ik nog een paar uur aan mijn nieuwe textielkunst werken, maar ik kan niet zo lang achter elkaar werken want ik heb helaas last van rugpijn en moet na een half uur steeds even opstaan en een stukje lopen.

Last week arts

On sunday we had some friends to visit us. That's always nice, because we can show some of our art we've been working on last week. Dieter made another watercolor of some Lilies , on heavy watercolor paper.

Aquarel by Dieter Lange

 I was working on digital drawing on our new Ipad. I bought this ipad specifically for my hubby for Father's Day, but I'm more pleased with it. I've downloaded Pro create and love it. I use to work with Photoshop elements, but for drawing Pro create is better for me. Here some pictures:  the first one a landscape

first drawing with pro create Coby Lange

                                  and the last one was a combination of drawing and a photo.

Improving the gallery

In October we had an exhibition in our gallery Mixed media art by Monique Humblet. Nice work and nice colors. The opening was great and we had a lot of people who came to visit.

It's been awhile since I again write a blog, but it's not easy to do if you do not get enough response, so I'm not sure what to write about. Should it more personal, less writing, more pictures, who knows ???

The gallery will be enhanced if we invest in a nicer area, a small kitchen, a cozy sitting area. As the matter of fact, that's precisely what is happening right now, so I'm very excited.

Normally I do not have a New Year promises of what to do or not to do for the next year, but I started a small scetchbook Dieter my husband and I are making every day a small drawing or painting. It's so nice and cozy to sit together and paint. I love that. Here are some pictures.

Kitty Cat

To write my blog is not always an easy task. Many times I think I should write again, but than life takes over and some other things are coming up to do. Like stitching a new small quilt piece which I named KITTY CAT. It is all handmade and has many kantha stitches all over. It makes me feel good to make stitch after stitch. I even can do it watching TV.

I learned a lot from Jude Hill she loves handstitching too and works every day.
After I finished Kitty Cat I wanted to make some boho kind of bags. Lovely one of a kind purses for my gallery Codiart The day I finished 2 of those,  I sold them and forgot to take a picture from the first one, but luckely my hubby Dieter took a picture with his smartphone from the second one. Here it is.

Vernisage

I'm very happy that I met Lei Hannen with his beautiful ceramics, he is one of my artfriends from KC61
We changed our gallery to a very beautiful place with many spotlights nice and bright.

                     The vernisage was on the 18th of october and runs until the 29th of november
The openig was great , we had a piano player and I read a poem. Many people joined so it was very successful, and I sold quite a few of his work already.

In the meantime I worked on my large textileart in the gallery and often people asked what are You doing, I hear a sewingmachine, so I could show my piece: autumn forest with 6 barks.

Recycled art lots and lots of stitches. Autumn forest with barks.
