today

This morning I did not have to get up early and lazed on my around the world pillow (cute pillow-swap with Stof Enzo), I made a wood & wool fringe hanger for a Californian baby and Henk brought me some super scrapwood from his today's wood hunt.

New in stock!
Beautiful original stained second hand wood.

Some wood gets a second life;
as a wood & wool stool,
or as a tree
or simply as a sign.

I do not know whether I'm more fond of wood or wool.
Wool can be found everywhere and in all colors.
Scrap wood is scarce and becoming increasingly difficult to find.
(it's jokingly called the new gold)

I am so thrilled with this pretty pile of wood and I'm wondering what it ultimately will be.

Yay, only 24 nights.

All nine 'brand new' scrapwood x-mas trees are made by me today.

Pick one and send me an e-mail...
(these trees can be stamped with any text whatsoever, if you like)

(because of confusion about the money spent on research by Pink Ribbon, I've decided to donate - the 8th part of the trees sold in November - to the Cancer Fund KWF Kankerbestrijding)

grey all stars

grey all stars by diederick kraaijeveld, originally uploaded by wood & wool stool.

This pair of grey All Stars I've spotted two years ago at the Modefabriek in Amsterdam.

Being highly interested in scrap wood, my attention was immediately drawn to this pair of sneakers. (the same Chucks, although a substantial number of sizes smaller, belong to my shoe collection).

The sneakers are made by artist Diederick Kraaijeveld. He makes sculptures of everyday objects, such as recently canned green pea soup to celebrate the traditional New Year's Dive in style.

Kraaijeveld only uses original colored scrap wood and doesn't use a drop of paint. He likes to create desirable objects of material that others have carelessly thrown away.

You can find a collection of his work on www.oudhout.com.
