Bij Tante Tuut op de Koffie

Afgelopen week ben ik vooral bezig geweest met het maken van een Nederlandstalige blog. We wonen nu bijna vier jaar in het zuiden van Spanje en ik merk dat mijn Nederlands erop achteruit gaat doordat ik hier natuurlijk veel Spaans en Engels praat, lees en schrijf. Dus ik dacht als ik nu eens een blog maak maar dan alleen in het Nederlands schrijf, dan ben ik dagelijks met mijn moedertaal bezig op een leuke, aangename manier.

De blog moest iets leuks zijn en we (ons hele huisgezin) moeten er allemaal ons ei in kwijt kunnen. En het allerbelangrijkste was de naam natuurlijk. We hebben wat afgelachen deze week maar de keuze is dan toch gevallen op Tante Tuut. Waarom? Dat kan je lezen op Bij Tante Tuut op de koffie.

Ik blijf natuurlijk ook verder doen met deze blog maar door de artrose die in de winter zijn kop opsteekt zal het ook iets minder vilten zijn. Dus heb ik tijd om andere dingen te doen zoals schrijven, veel schrijven!

Ik wens jullie allemaal een hele prettige dag verder en tot op de koffie.

How to make your own labels for your exhibition?

Here I will explain how to make your own labels for your exhibition or selling events. It is not difficult and it takes only 1 or 2 hours to make them, depending of how many labels you want.

What do you need?

Cardboard, self made prints, transparent elastic drying PVAc glue, scissors, a ruler, a cutting mat or hard cardboard and a sharp knife.

How do you make it?

1. With excesses of acrylic paint you can make the most wonderful prints. Rub the paint on top of an old newspaper and than make a print of it on a white drawing paper. I usually use paper of 130 gram or 150 gram. You can do this every time you paint something, after a while you will have lots of them to create your own treasures.
2. Collect boxes of cereals or other cardboard boxes.
3. Cut the cardboard boxes into rectangles of 6 cm by 9 cm.
4. Cut the printed paper into rectangles of 8 cm by 11 cm.
5. Glue the printed paper on top of the cardboard. I use bookbinding glue because it dries very quickly.
6. Cut the four corners diagonally, so you can easily unfold the printed paper and glue it at the back of the cardboard
7. Now cut rectangles out of the printed paper of 5 cm by 8 cm and glue these at the back of your card. Now your label is covered with printed paper, you can start making your text labels in Word or Appleworks.
8. Once you have your text labels, cut them out but make sure the size is not bigger than 4,5 cm by 7,5 cm and glue them on the front of your beautiful printed labels.

Now you know how to make your own labels for your exhibition or other selling events.

Have lots of Fun with it!

On more Felt Wallhanging

Unfortunately I can show you only one more Felt Wallhanging. The other pics we've taken are very bad, it is difficult with our camera to take good photos inside a building. Most of the time we take our pictures on our terrace because there is a lot of light. To make this one "Pebbles" I've made three pre-felts of merino wool and than I made a design of "Pebbles" on top of the white pre-felt. Before I start painting with acrylics, I prepared the canvas with gesso, to give it a little bit of structure.


Desafortunadamente solo puedo enseñaros una tapiz más de fieltro. El resto de las fotos que hicimos son de mala calidad, es difícil hacer fotos con nuestra cámara dentro. La mayoría de las veces hacemos las fotos en nuestra azotea porque ahi hay mucha luz. Para hacer esta "Piedras" hice tres pre-fieltros de lana merino y entonces hice un diseño de "Piedras" encima del pre-fieltro blanco. Antes de comenzar a pintar con acrilicos, preparé el lienzo con yeso, para darle un poco de estructura.

My favorite Felt Wallhanging

Good morning everybody, I quickly post a few of my Felt Wallhangings that I have made for the exhibition. A "Tribute to Hundertwasser" is my favorite one.
Enjoy it and have a very nice week!
Love from Trudis

Exhibition Preview 12 November Ronda

Yesterday we had a great Exhibition preview of "Heartfelt from Trudis", my first felt exhibition here in Ronda. A lot of friends from Ronda came to visit the exhibition and gave very positive comments. It was very pleasant to hear from different people from all over the world (Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Argentina, Australia, Japan, Germany and the UK) they liked the textile art creations and it gives me a lot of satisfaction after the weeks of hard work. Later on this week I will post more pics. Thank you so much everybody!
Love from Trudis


Ayer se celebró la inauguración de la exposición con las creaciones de Trudis con fieltro y técnica mixta. Muchos amigos y amigas de Ronda han venido para ver la exposición y los comentarios fueron muy positivos. Es muy agradable de tener reacciones tan buenos de gente de todas partes del mundo (España, Bélgica, Holanda, Argentina, Australia, Japon, Alemania y el Reino Unido). Estoy muy satifecha después de tantas semanas de mucho trabajo. La semana que viene voy a plublicar mas fotos.
Muchisimas gracias a todos!

Preparing everything for tomorrow's Felt Exhibition

One more night to go, I'm pretty nervous now! Almost everything is done for the Felt Exhibition who will start tomorrow. This morning I have made my own labels for my felted wallhangings. Later this week I will post a "How to" blog post on how you can make them. But now I have to do a meditation to calm down because my head is spinning around with lots of things I still have to do before the opening. So, goodnight everybody and have a good relaxing rest.
