Home Fashion
Welcome to my gallery page of my craft projects. Most of my projects are decorations I use in my home. I use lots of different materials: paper, wood, plaster, clay, twigs, chicken wire…… and on and on.
A special category are the craft projects where I use all kinds of threads: fabric, wool, old clothes, etc. I like to refer to this category as home fashion, because those projects ‘dress’ up my home.
