36 - Holland - Adrienne Van Hovell







Adrienne's letter is just as fun!!


Hello Joanne
These three boats come all the way from Holland for your exhibition!
Theye are made from papers I printed and decorated (paste paper as well), plain papers and recycled envelopes. The fish are printed woodblocks (mango) from Bangaldesh, the dresses are shibori rice-papers I dyed. The mast is a bamboo sate stick and thread . Chinese newpaper as extra fastening and decoration!

I have been an arts and crafts teacher and artist for many years now….no website yet!!
Finally I would like to congratulate you with this wonderful initiative! I wish you success and will keep good track of the progression. Warm greetings from Holland!

There are labels underneath each boat, here's a close up of one.
