Amsterdam light festival

Dear all,

Instead of a "This is my life" I would like to tell you about the Amsterdam light festival.

Yesterday night my boyfriend and I made a 'Water colors' cruise.

From 27th of November 2014 till 18th of January 2015 you can enjoy  the annual Amsterdam light festival. Different artists have made subjects of material that can light up or can be projected or even react on the activity of boats and cell phones.

I had bought our tickets on the website you will see below,  but you can buy a ticket on site as well.

The tour through the canals with the lights and the beautiful lighted creations was a lovely experience  .

It took about 1 hour and the boat was nicely warmed because outside it was pretty cold!

Below just a few of the pictures I made but there was many more to see.

You will find pictures on the official website as well in a while. Take a look at it and see the results of previous years and the program this year.

This is my life- Week 47

Sorry! I forgot to post this one. Well I have worked all week and I haven't done anything special last week. 

I am addicted to Pinterest though! 

I love it and it arouses my creativity.

Ladies night -Geisha

Yesterday night I had a Ladies night in the Rijksmuseum Volkenkunde in Leiden.
The subject was "Geisha". At the moment there is a "Geisha' exhibition in the museum till 6th of April 2015.

I also attended a lecture about the Japanese tattoo art but I don't have pictures of that. It was a very interesting lecture though!

There were many things to do, but I have decided to do the things below.

• Workshop making stamps  > http://www.masaakioyamada.com/
• Demonstration Ikabena
• Lecture Japanse tattoo art
• And a glimpse of the Kimono fashion show
• Let my hand scrubbed with Rituals products.

I started with a workshop 'Make your own stamp'. This is the result.

The funny thing is I read about Masaaki Oyamada some time ago in a magazine and I save the article.
Yesterday he was there to lead the workshop!

This lovely lady told the crowd about Ikabena  (Japanese flower arrangement)

I saw a bit of the  Kimono fashion show

Beautiful!

Sweet style
