I am over the moon about this stamp by @paper_afternoon. It will be on all the packaging and my new business cards. I might go a little crazy and stamp it on everything in reach. 😀
Yes, I know it's skewed. I need to learn. More reasons to stamp on everything.

I designed my new logo back then and ordered it as a stamp—it's still in use! Since then, I’ve also created a few stamps myself, which I use to sign my lamps. Most lamps have a tiny version of this logo on the bottom or back, and some also feature my initials stamp. I use both!

A hand-carved rubber stamp with the logo 'Levend Lichtje' is placed on a wooden surface. The design features a stylized glowing mushroom inside an arched frame. Next to the stamp is a stamped print on a piece of kraft paper. A red USB cable runs across the paper. In the background, there’s a glass dome with a red poppy flower and green moss inside, and a small glass vial containing a red mushroom and moss.

This one is Papaver luminosum III, which I just listed in my Etsy store. (Link in bio)
I registered my little art shop today, which means I am now officially an entrepreneur! :)

I registered my work with the KVK, the Dutch official business registry. I’m not sure how that works in other countries—there’s probably some regulation for it too. The process was pretty straightforward and quick, and then I received a big stack of flyers about networking and financing. Very nice, but not exactly useful for me. The business world isn’t very art-focused. Can’t blame them, though.
Lately, I’ve been looking around more, searching for artists like me to connect with. Maybe I should reach out to magazines? Or maybe I should dig up those flyers on networking...

A delicate lamp in the shape of a red poppy flower is encased in a tall glass dome with a wooden base. The poppy's petals are slightly crinkled, resembling real paper-thin petals, and a small warm light glows at its center. The green stem extends down into a base covered in soft moss. A faux-leather-covered electrical cord extends from the base. The background features a wooden shelf with empty compartments, adding to the warm, natural atmosphere.

First of the three poppy lights that I finished: this is "Papaver luminosum", 26 * 11 cm. Paper flower with embedded light on 'moss' needlefelted base. These will be in my Etsy shop tomorrow! (link in bio)
I'm also still working on the Amanita muscaria light, but my glass domes have been delayed. I hope they will be here soon!

This one never sold! Funny - I thought it would go pretty quickly. I'm often wrong about what will sell and what won’t. Which means I should either get better at predicting that or just keep making things without worrying about sales. I like the second option better, so that’s what I’m doing. Might be the stupidest option too, though.

I'm planning on making a series of this Amanita muscaria. It's going to be slightly different, with another glass dome. Can't find the same one currently. But I think it should be good, no matter what glass dome protects it.
This one became a night light for twins!

There was a giveaway in my archive on Instagram between this and the previous post - but I decided against posting that one here too. It doesn't do much for my archive and it would probably confuse the heck out of anyone here. So I skipped that post and went to the next one.

It does make me wonder though - are giveaways appreciated here too?

A handcrafted mushroom lamp inside a glass dome. The lamp is shaped like an Amanita muscaria, with a red cap speckled with white spots and a delicate, textured stem. The mushroom emits a warm golden glow from within, illuminating the moss and organic materials at its base. The dome rests on a wooden base with a natural, rustic appearance. The background is dark, making the glowing mushroom the focal point of the image.

While I am working on the second version of these Pixels, here is Pixel #2, Mycetinis rubra. There are five in this first series of Pixel.

Funny how you can forget all about the things you made. I thought I had only made three, but now that I read this, I remember there were five. I don't know where they all ended up though, because most were sold through a shop.

A glowing mushroom light with a slender, elongated stem and a vibrant orange cap is encased in a tall, cylindrical glass tube. The cap emits a warm, golden light, contrasting with the dark background. The base of the tube is made of natural wood, grounding the delicate piece. At the bottom, dried moss and organic material add a touch of realism.

Sketch in pen on (a beautiful) location: Kinderdijk -in the Netherlands ❤️
It’s definitely not perfect but I think it turned out pretty well for a first time.

Sketch with Uni pin fineliner-Sepia on 100% cotton watercolorpaper (A5 sketchbook from Rhodia) Added the watercolour wash at home from a reference photo I took.

The stands of the pixel mushrooms. Most of the work is in here, but you won't see it when they are finished like these. Those little tufts of moss will be wool in the next versions.

There we go - referring to the next version as being in wool instead. Which I did, and which led to my current wool and embroidery works.
I did hesitate a bit to use wool and fabric materials - they are generally considered "craft," not art. Which is weird. Why is it craft when the material shifts to something from a traditionally female field? It's also strange how easy it is to find many painters, sculptors, etc. (mostly male) throughout history, yet fabric-based art doesn’t seem to have the same level of historical recognition.

Three handcrafted light bases featuring delicate mosses encased in glass domes. Each light has a wooden base with a smooth, rounded shape. The moss grows from a small mound of dark soil, with thin, pale stems reaching upward. The lights are arranged on a dark fabric background, emphasizing their organic and mystical aesthetic. A braided power cord is visible, suggesting they are functional lamps.
