Customized shoes

 LILI 

 

The idea of starting this shop... it all started with a birthday present. My friend is a humongous fan of Harry Potter and I made the Harry Potter shoes for her birthday.
 
I received such wonderful compliments for this creation and a lot of people asked me to make them a pair.
And here we are! Starting this shop offering exclusive shoes. And a lot of plans to extend our range of creations. You can get your own pair by;
1. choose a subject (movie,artist,anything you love)
2. choose one or two things you would really like to see on the shoe (names/drawings/logo's)

And we will do the rest & you will receive an exclusive pair of customized shoes!

Victorian wars art print by Terry Fan

I found this blog today and fell in love immediately. People who know me know I have the

craziest dreams where I make my own world with awesome creatures and fantastic buildings where I have the most amazing adventures, and therefore I love fantasy art and movies like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings & Harry Potter. This blog called http://doctormonocle.com (that name!) is filled with art and illustrations from the fantastic mind and where whole worlds are build by the ability to visualize it by hand. Here an example of the beautifully created worlds, I can just sink into them.

We are what we EAT

    

Water&Oil

For years now I support the WNF a.k.a. WWF, and what really bothers me is the oil pollution in the ocean. These oildissaster proof that drilling for oil goes with great risks. Particulary in sensitive areas like the Arctic, the consequences are horrible.

Since april 22 2010, oil is leaking from the sunken oilplatform Deepwater Horizon in the Golf of Mexico. Millions of liters of oil have streamed into the Golf. The oil slick has a surface of my country, the Netherlands. That's amazingly big and I can only imagine what this does for the ocean and everything that lives in it.

I appreciate president Barack Obama for forbidding Shell to start drilling for the coast of Alaska.
I just can't understand how our society got so lost. That gaining oil and luxury wins from the health and wellbeing of the creatures we have to live with. Luckily thousands of helpers are trying to make sure the coastline doesn't  get smeared with the oil to help animals in need. There are also a lot of people who are helping the hurt animals which are covered in oil.


We have to stand up for the wellbeing of our planet, and we have to stand up for those who can't ; the animals. the world is theirs just as well as it is ours. We have to fight people and organisations who believe otherwise and who are willing to harm nature for gaining more wealth. It is awful that after what happened in the Golf of Mexico, Shell wants to start drilling in one of the most vulnerable places of the earth. For Obama to forbid the drilling is great, but for companies like Shell to even think it is okay to gain wealth at the expense of our nature.. I just can't believe that. We have to stand up, not only talk about it, but actually do somethingt, because if the animals can't, and the people won't, who will?

Series Structural Contrast 10.

Yesterday I heard I passed my first year at the Art Academy. I study Interior Architecture and one of our assignments was to design a series of 'jewelry'. Not as in earrings or necklaces, but as in beautiful, extraordinary little creations.

The concept of my serie was to let two totally different materials communicate and compete with eachother. I formulated this concept with teabags, a very thin material, easy to reform and yet so fragile. And on the other hand metal; hard, cold and difficult to disfigure.

Inspiration: Sophia Bush

One of the people that inspire me most is Sophia Bush, great actress, spokesperson and part of fundraisers such as F Cancer, Run For the Gulf and Global Green Gulf Relief.
She uses Twitter to speak her mind and to confront injustice, human rights, starvation and environmental issues. She uses her voice for something real and she encourages everyone to know that their voice is valuable and therefore to use it.

Sophia Bush has a wonderful, warm- and kindhearted personality, who doens't only talk about things as environmental problems, but actually does something about it. And that's what I love about her. She is the kind of person I want to become some day. More of her to come on this blog, that's for sure.

One of Sophia's tweets;
My passion for the environment. My passion for equality. My love of people everywhere. Those are the things that make me. Thanks for sharing

Inspiration: Edith Bouvier Beale - Grey Gardens

- Edith Bouvier Beale (November 7, 1917 – circa January 9, 2002) was an American socialite, fashion model and cabaret performer. She was a first cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill. She is best known as "Little Edie," -

Last week I watched the movie 'Grey Gardens' with  Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange. What really catched my attention, other than the great acting of Barrymore, was the decayed state of the interior and the dark romantic atmosphere. It reminded me of the work of Dutch Designer Maarten Baas, his series of burned furniture : Smoke
