Petits Hollandais

Un clin d'oeil à la Hollande pour l'hexagone numéro 23 avec ce petit couple d'amoureux en costumes traditionnels. Il s'agit d'un modèle de Véronique Enginger que j'ai adapté dans un camaïeu de bleu inspiré des faïences de Delft.

A reminder of Holland for hexagon number 23 with this lovely couple in traditional dress. This is a pattern by Véronique Enginger and I have adapted it into shades of blue inpired from Delftware.

  1. Sandrine, I like the unusual design, and the colors are chosen perfectly :) Such subjects are in the piggy bank, and, I hope, too, someday their height :)

    1. Than you Irina for your nice comments. I also love the shades of blue in the Dutch style, they are full of light and transparency. Whenever I go to the Netherlands, I can't help buying a small blue souvenir! Have a nice Friday :)

    1. Thank you Maristella. Next time I go to the Netherlands, I think I will try to find a nice cup and saucer in the Delft style, with a little windmill on them. Have a nice Friday! Hugs!

  4. What a wonderful couple! I also plan to embroider a similar design. And what a beautiful Delft porcelain. These pendants are made like Christmas toys? Good weekend. Tatyana

  5. Yes, the pendants can be used on a Christmas tree, they were displayed as such in the shop where I bought them in Amsterdam. The result was amazing! But I must go back several times and bought many more if I want to decorate a whole tree! I stay in the theme of Holland and I am beginning to embroider a hyacinth that I will soon post on the blog. Have a nice weekend! Sandrine

  6. Très jolie couronne qui sera certainement prochainement accrochée sur la porte ;)
    Je me demande bien où tu as pu trouver le tissu, mon petit doigt me dit qu'il s'agirait d'une de mes robes :D

  7. Rectificatif! Un morceau coupé pour raccourcir une robe trop longue que tu mettais quand tu avais 13 ans! Je ne voudrais pas qu'on croie que je dévaste les armoires de mes filles pour faire mes hexagones et qu'on me prenne pour l'Atila des penderies!! :))) Bisous

  8. It is such a delight to visit your love place, Sandrine and gaze upon all the blue and white pretties, not to mention the exquisite cross stitch little couple. Hexagons are my favourite and yours, well they are exquisite. I just adore blue and white together. I think they are a match made in heaven.

  9. Thank you Kim. I also find that the blue and white mixed together have something aerial and ethereal, a kind of perfection. I know you are fond of hexagons and I am preparing a post with another one, from a completely different universe. See you very soon.
