Nou Nog Mooier

Made in 2001: video of exhibition design by "Nou Nog Mooier!", our 3-lady design-collective. We no longer work together, but are still all in our own style active in the same field. I transformed to Dingsboems and started making small items that are for sale in my webshop, and work for public events, doing workshops, making parts of activity programs, doing public art installations etcetera...  
Former partner Martine now works at the museum we did this design for, and Sandra owns  vintage design store Spam.

my soap bars in MOOI - Volkskrant magazine

after eight soap

Had a lovely afternoon doing a soap-workshop with a few DaWanda sellers, 

trying a new design that turned out really nice. 

We made peppermint soapballs with cold proces artisanal soap I made beforehand, 

and rolled them in cocoa.

After that we put them all in a square mold and poured cocoa melt and pour soap over them, in two layers. 

Cooled everything down in the fridge and cut into slices to show off the beautiful inside... 

Definitely going to do this again! It's a great soap to make together, everyone grating soap and rolling peppermint scented balls...

Will also  make an appearance in the webshop very soon!

3 new bags

made 3 new bags from recycled banner material last week.
they have a shoulder strap that can be used when he bag is folded over and can also be worn by the cut out grip on top of the bag. Ideal to keep all your belongings, and shop your groceries at the end of the day...



I will be bringing a few of my bags on handmade markets i will go to in the next month, and they can of course also be bought through the website www.dingsboems.nl

home sweet home

I found this old photograph of my street online, and was surprised to see that my house used to be a hairdresser. It inspires me to look into the possibilities of adapting my house and starting a home-based business...
