A little something to brighten your day: I’m making the most of my quarantine-time and dreamed up this funky & colourful paper-craft “nightscape” of an abstract kids toys world! 😊✂️ Another addition to my paper “Speelgoed-Stijl” collection. Swipe through to see the making of. I’m getting some serious 90’s Arcade computer game vibes... You too? By Annemarieke Kloosterhof

Playing around with paper shapes & colours... Imagine this as a life size fun house?! 🔥😱😊 By Annemarieke Kloosterhof

I made my first ever Vinyl cut Print!😊🖤 I’m not sure if this style has a name yet - but I’ll dub it “Speelgoed-Stijl”, because just like “Slaolie-Stijl” the Dutch always come up with the best names for Art Movements.😅 . This is week 2 of a 5 week printmaking course I’m doing at the @camdenartscentre, and today we had a 2 hour Vinyl cutting session - that next week we will turn into a multi-colour print! I’m experimenting with my ongoing “Wooden Toy Blocks” theme and am quite pleased with how this minimalist guy came out. This one was just a test print for 1 of the layers, so I’m really looking forward to adding a splash of colour next week and to physically build up the full image... (see what I did there?😉) I’m super excited as we’ll be mixing our own ink dyes and I’d love to experiment with some colour gradients!🔥 Having done Woodblock last week, it’s SO interesting to see how completely opposite ends / worlds apart that technique is from using a material like Vinyl cutting ... or paper cutting for that matter. 😉 But it’s always great to get out of your comfort zone and to keep making personal work! . More next week - But for now, enjoy the visual of this bold yet minimalist black and white line-art one. 🖤😊 By Annemarieke Kloosterhof .

Made my first ever Wood-Block Print!😊🖤 I’m doing a 5 week printmaking course, and yesterday was our first 2 hour Wood Block Printing session, which really was waaaayyy to short for such a fun activity! But then again it’s probably because I put way too much detail in my impromptu test design. 🤓 It was a race against the clock, from sketching to cutting to printing - and a much messier & quicker approach to my usual way of working - but I’m really pleased with both the process & the final outcome! 😊 The fact that I couldn’t afford to spend a lot of time overthinking the design or paying much attention to the details was actually quite a freeing experience as it meant I just had to go with my gut! 😎 I’m already looking forward to this week’s Vinyl Cutting session!✌🏼 By Annemarieke Kloosterhof . . . . . #woodblockprint #somethingdifferent #camdenartscentre #printmakingcourse #woodblockprinting #blackandwhite #abstractart #woodprint #woodblock #onmydesk #inthestudio #printmaking #printmakersofinstagram #geometricshapes #woodprinting

I finished my “Kids Toy World” paper-craft piece. 😊✂️ Swipe through to see the behind the scenes. This was such a fun little experiment... I might make it into a series! 😉 It was made entirely with paper offcuts from previous projects... even the Marbles, which were leftover confetti from my Blue Peter project!🎉 It was very satisfying to be able to physically “build” the blocks and shuffle them around to fit the perspective! I really love working on personal projects and letting your mind run free and to experiment with no specific outcome in mind. It’s my favourite part of the creative process. ❤️ This is what I imagine “Kids Toy-Block World Fun-Time Land” to look like - where the architecture is colourful and marbles bounce free! I hope you guys like it. 😊 . . P.S: If anyone has a boring kids bedroom /classroom/ ballpit playroom - and want to jazz it up a bit ? Imagine painting this as a full size mural to spark some joy and colour.😉 Hit me up! . By Annemarieke Kloosterhof.

New paper-Craft artwork in the making!😊✂️ I’m having lots of fun playing around with paper offcuts from previous projects and turning them into something new! I’ve revisited some old pages in my sketchbook based on an idea I’ve been playing with for a while now, and tried to make the concept out of paper... which seems to work pretty well! 😊 I’m particularly having fun experimenting with such a incredibly sweet and candy-like coloursheme - which is not a palette I work with often... I usually try and avoid Unicorns dipped in pastel coloured cupcakes... but hey - always good to expand your horizons! 😜 I might make a “Night Time” version next, with a much darker colourscheme... just to compare. 🤓 Just a few more tweaks and finishing touches and then I’ll upload the finished artwork soon! ✂️ By Annemarieke Kloosterhof.

New paper-Craft artwork in the making!😊✂️ I’m having lots of fun playing around with paper offcuts from previous projects and turning them into something new! I found lots of small squares and rectangles and even some confetti circles, and once I got a coloursheme going the image just makes itself really! It’s very satisfying to be able to physically “build” the blocks and shuffle them around to fit the perspective! I really love working on personal projects and letting your mind run free and to experiment with no specific outcome in mind. It’s my favourite part of the creative process. ❤️ This is what I imagine “Kids Toy-Block World Fun-Time Land” to look like - where the architecture is colourful and marbles bounce free! If only such a place existed... I’d move in tomorrow! I think a soft-play themepark with a ballpit might be my Plan B. 😉 Who says adults can’t have fun? By Annemarieke Kloosterhof.

W.I.P ✂️ Swipe through to see the behind the scenes! I did a miniature paper set for a pop-up project this Christmas, which was to teach kids all about foodbanks, why we need them, what you can donate and who ends up using them. The pop-up store “The Giving Store: Shop for Others” was an initiative of @sainsburys and I was approached to create a miniature paper scene to help visualise & explain to kids what supermarket items you can donate. The most needed products are: Grains like Rice & Oats, Pasta, Canned foods such as Fish, Meat, Fruit, Vegetables and Soup, Long Life Milk, Cleaning supplies & Toilet-paper, and of course Pads & Sanitary products!💗 . This was a lovely and meaningful project to get to work on! Such a brilliant initiative to bring awareness and to introduce it to kids from a young age. 💪🏼 I hope this little visual is helpful to you too. Next time you go to the supermarket, keep a look out for the Foodbank collection bin and donate ! 😉 By Annemarieke Kloosterhof
