Washi tape

You'll find it everywhere lately: washi tape (or masking tape). It is transparant Japanese tape available in all colors, patterns and sizes. You can do a lot with it, so I definitely wanted to have it..
In the Netherlands there are a lot of (web)shops where you can buy the tapes, but it's so hard to choose when there are so many sorts available! Above that, washi tape is not very cheap (about €3,- per role). On Etsy.com I founded a seller (Le box boutique), recommended by another blogger, where you can buy 16 feet tape (1 foot = about 30 centimeters) for only €6,-. The best thing is you can choose a maximum of 8 different tapes (so that is 2 feet per tape)!

I ordered of course 8 different tapes and delivery to the Netherlands only took 4 days! This are the ones I chose:






























I already saw something very cool in a magazine to do with the washi tape. It will take a little time to finish it, so I will show the results later. Here some washi inspiration.

First blogpost!

My first blogpost on my new blog! However it is not the first time I start a blog (I always want to try everything, from 365 days illustration project to a photoblog --> both didn't last for a long time..), I have a good feeling about this one. Maybe because I don't give my blog a specific subject, but keep it as a space to share all the things I find on the internet or in daily life and show the things I create and what's inspiring me. In that way it will become a nice archive for myself (and perhaps for some readers, but that is what we'll have to see).
What I like today:
