Seahorses

These seahorses came about while doodling. I was just doing my usual curvy lines when all of a sudden, I had a little seahorse! Of course they had to be painted on eggcups!

The cups have got lots of glitter, too!

Cats on cups

These cats on cups have already been sold (well, reserved for someone, and hopefully they will be on their way next week!), but if you like them, I could do them again for you. We could even have a chat about the colours you'd like.

Give me a shout through the 'convo's' at Timeless, my Etsy shop!

Hard boiled egg, anyone?

My new 'obsession' is painting eggcups. They are miniature pieces of functional art and best yet, I love doing them! Even though the shape can sometimes be limiting, that in itself is a wonderful challenge.

These white eggcups with a fantasy Dutch blue (or 'Delfts blauw') decoration show off where I was born; Holland. So when you take these into your home, you will have a little bit of Holland.

Welcome!

Welcome to my Timeless blog, where I will show you my finished products as well as talk about the creative process and wonderful wonderful Etsy where I have my own shop.

Before anything, I think I should introduce myself.

My name is Eveline, I'm a 33 year old Dutch woman living in England. Last summer I moved from Holland to the UK so I could live with boyfriend Tye.

In school Arts was never my favourite subject. Yeah I liked messing about with paints, but it was never 'good enough' according to my teachers. I did not have any sense of scale, I always messed up the horizon in my drawings and it just never turned out 'just like the example'. I dropped Arts as soon as I could. Writing was more my thing anyway.

Late last summer I stumbled across some websites on rock painting. I was inspired! I could do that! Well, maybe not the detailed animals, but I sure could give it a go and see how it would turn out!

And guess what, I loved it. I spent hours and hours painting pebbles I bought from a local gardencentre (rather than hunting for my own especially in the rain..) and before I knew it, I had too many to even know what to do with.

'Why don't you try and sell them?' Tye suggested. And that's when I found Etsy, a website where you can sell and buy handmade items. I put a few pebbles in my shop and the next morning Tye woke me up (he works nights) telling me I sold my elephant! I was shocked! In a very, very good way.

After that I sold some other pebbles and have now also started painting on wood, and terra cotta items. The terra cotta have not made it to my shop just yet, but I am planning on listing them very soon.

Please feel free to have a look at Timeless and let me know what you think!
