It's also very comfortable to wear, because it follows the shape of your finger knuckles more naturally than a round ring.

it's hip to be square
work in progress:
In between my busy college schedule I found some time to play with the square ring mandrel. I love working with the amorphous pebble shapes but I also like the orderliness of a (rounded) square.

Glass stems sprouting from cracks in a piece of salvaged wood. It's the same piece you can see on my avatar (here and here).
In the meantime it has been remodeled by two other artists with long whiskers, so this is one of the few photos that remains...

a wish and a present for 2012
Dear reader, thank you for following my blog!
I know I don't post that often and at irregular intervals, so thank you for sticking with me. That will probably stay the same next year, as I'm still a full time student and a night time artist.
But I've got something for you to look forward to! At the end of each month I will post one of these for the upcoming month:
It's a desktop background for January and it's all for you - click to download and set as background! (edit: link now works, lol)
Each month will feature some of my lovely lampwork glass growth or tentacles with the month handwritten (in Dutch) in good old pen & ink (well, Ecoline). Something pleasant yet practical. ;-)
January 2012 features fungi... Enjoy!
And here's something else to look forward to: aarghh's coming back to Antwerp for this wonderful project:

helping out: magick4terri
Late night post: Terri Windling needs your help. She's a most wonderful artist, editor, author, and blogger, a generous and inspiring person who is facing serious issues at the moment.
Magick 4 Terri is an auction that runs until Dec. 15, with many wicked cool offers from authors, illustrators and artists like Neil Gaiman, Brian & Wendy Froud, Alan Lee, Charles Vess, Cory Doctorow, Cassandra Clare, ... !!! Try to contain yourself, it's seriously awesome. :-D
So if you are a fan, you can bid on one or more items by your favorite author or artist, win it (with a bit of luck) and do some good at the same time. You can see how it works on this page.
You can also offer something yourself, as I did this brooch:
Bids start at $30 and I take care of the shipping costs. Good luck!

blowing bubbles!
I reduced the price of my bubbles necklaces as I'm concentrating on other collections now. Wouldn't they make a lovely holiday gift? ;-)
Meanwhile I'm busy working on my papers...deadlines are approaching way too fast (as usual). I just have to start writing!
How come it's always that hard just to start?!
However, research on my paper on dance theatre brings me to exciting new places: the world of traditional Indian dance mixed with contemporary narratives at the December Dance festival in Bruges. This is Akram Khan, the curator of the festival talking about Kathak, a classical dance from North India:
