This is a young draughthorse, a foal really, with the real, proper traditional decoration of red, white and blue wool and ”raffia”.

I think this was the horse I liked best. It looks like a fjord arab cross.


You see a lot of these young sleek looking carriage horses. They are very popular in the Netherlands.

beautiful sketches Aafke, you’re very talented and it’s so nice to see you make use of your talents. You look like you’re having fun. candy looks flashy, nothing compared to the desserts you posted,i’m more a dessert person.

You are so good at art and the crafty type things. Ever thought about doing American Indian style beadwork on leather…….like maybe leather jackets? I just have this feeling you’d create something priceless!

Radha, thank you. I don’t like those candies either, but they did make for a very dazzling display!
Tony, thank you,
Abu Sinan, I really like beadwork, and I think I could learn it, but I am allready doing too many things
I’m not getting anything finished! On the contrary; I am trying to limit the stuff I’m doing!

Time for an Aafke clone? Two Aafkes can get much more done!

Sigh… Why not five? If we start cloning….
