Another Bassie

My placemats have been a success. My mum is supervisor at some place where mentally handicapped work at daytime. She took the placemats to her work, because there's a machine to plastify over there. All people working there liked Bassie and Adriaan so much!

Also my cousin's little son saw the placemats. He especially liked Bassie.
'Can I have 'em?' he asked, but unfortunately the placemats were made for someone else. He was so disappointed. That's why I've been asked to make another Bassie placemat for the little boy. Well sweety, of course I would like to!
Hope he likes this one too. I thought it wouldn't be funny to make two identical placemats. Only a slight change can make a lot of difference.

Bassie & Adriaan placemats - plastified

My mum took the placemats to her work, where they have plastified them.
I just wanted to show you people the results of it. I like 'em!

Bassie & Adriaan placemats

This weekend, I've been busy painting placemats for my uncle. I have got an uncle with down-syndrome, and he just got a new apartment. My family has bought a new fancy interior, but it still looked a bit empty. Now I know that my uncle loves Bassie & Adriaan. It's a Dutch duo, with a clown and an acrobat, teaching children about places all around the world. He loves the programme and has dozens of video tapes, DVD's, CD's, Bassie & Adriaan cuddly toys and images in his photo albums. I first wanted to make a painting for on his (still too white) walls, but he already seemed to have a picture of Bassie & Adriaan framed, ready to be hanged up on that wall.
When I introduced the idea of painting some placemats for on his (always empty) table, my mum got excited and told me it was a great idea.
So.. that's why I painted Bassie & Adriaan.





I hope my uncle likes 'em too!
