BLUE CHALLENGE

The colour BLUE is most people’s favourite colour. It is so absolutely NOT mine.

To make these pieces was challenging.

Using a for me new technique: crocheting.

I am working in the space between clothes and jewellery.

Can I make jewellery out of 2’nd hand clothes?

By deconstructing, taking away its function and adding a jewellery element in the form of gold paint.

Thereby transforming them into jewellery?

The ’Blue Challenge’ pieces are made of some blue donations: men’s shirts.

They are cut into long shreds, then crochet into hooks.

I usually work with recognizable everyday objects. By cutting the clothes into shreds however

the apparent reference to clothes is gone.

With this technique I am now able to use every last bit of a shirt for my jewellery pieces.

I used blue as a concept. My starting point: what do I associate with the colour blue.


Blue Challenge - Ocean


It’s a piece about courage, strength and fighting.


My new discovered passion: ice bathing in the ocean.


It takes courage to jump in the ice-cold water of the ocean - every time. (2°C is my coldest, so far.)


It impowers me, to overcome my fear. And it brings me joy.


The different patterns and blue colours are reflecting the various shades of blue the ocean can have depending on the weather.


The pieces are made out of second hand men’s shirts - cut into shreds and crochet. One piece has gold painted hooks, some are washed afterwards.
