about
San had a series of booklets, but she was dissatisfied with the cover, the print and the binding. "it looks so cheap Astrid..." I could only confirm. a few days later she came back, we transformed all the booklets by shifting and/or removing some pages, at one booklet we added a slightly transparant paper. Afterwards we did a simple binding to recover the "stapled" holes. so simple... when we were working I realized how much I like that : also that story is right in my goal of recovering!

about
ik kreeg enkele zakken vol typoletters. de vorige eigenaar had ermee gestempeld met acrylverf, ik besloot ze te poetsen. het was een lang parcours : sorteren, 1/2 dag weken in water, voorzichtig afkrabben, drogen, terug voeden met olie, alfabetisch plaatsen op de pers, in inkten & een proefprint om te archiveren. terwijl ik bezig was vroeg ik mezelf “maar astrid, overdrijver”. toch deed ik verder, en nu weet ik waarom; de letters zitten nu visueel om mijn geheugen, ik kreeg enkele ideeën, de uren krabben waren meditatief & het is gewoon de liefde, de passie en het respect voor mijn vak en materiaal die alles doet vergeten.

i’m looking forward for the coming weeks.
last week i finished a big graphic project (a phd ). for this one i gave my hard and soul, but also all my energy, sleep. i had lots of unhealtjhy meals and liters of coffie! it was fantastic!
i feel i’m now back into – my – normal way, only with even more disire to continue doing the things i do!
the time i didn’t had for the atelier (workshops, opentypoatier & papetery) gives me a kind of clarity.
i am verry much looking forward to make this happen during the (hopefully) calmer summer months!
i must let go certain projects, concepts and ideas... but it feels a relief to have more space to let grow the other ones 🎈

x-mas presale : 01-15/11:
these are one of the cards in the presale. as i’m working with recup-materials + small productions i want to prepare as well as possible to provide you with cards without leaving a big stock. the cards are all handmade here in the atelier.... every 15th of the month, i give an introduction in wich i show you some printing techniques. after following this intro-class you can come back to make your own print-work(s)! last week i had An and het daughters in the atelier, they printed their own wishes cards!

x-mas presale : 01-15/11
a few years ago these cards were pronted, by accident there were too much cards so the customer dicided to have only a part of them finished - the other part (unfinished) came in my hands; this year i pimped them up with a clashi silver or a old pink 2023!
but bit by bit another idea is coming up to recuperate them (to be continued)... but that’s for later - now it’s new-year-time!
presale info; link in bio or www.astridfieuws.com
(i’m )

in the presale collection:
2 types of my bruteblocks
(order via link in bio)
the idea of the is to have as little as possible waste using a pack of paper. each side of the notebook get it’s own color. i compose all the dyes i’m using in the atelier, according to the needed quantity, using only biogradable products. the notebooks are all hand processed, and therefore unique.

yes! the pre-sale is online!
from 01/11 till 15/11 you can order a selection of carts and gifts for x-mas!

i hoop to see or hear you soon!

i got a table full of paper from ! johan supports me and my dad works there, he can take the beautiful leftovers that they has put in the trash (!!) on the side for me!
.. as a child i grew up in the printing house of my parents, i know how mutch paper goes into the trash, it’s impossible for bigger printing factories to keep up with all these leftovers (really!).
i remember all the times that i jumped into a container in search of nice leftovers that i puted in my shop (made from cardboard boxes) and then they were sold and i made packaged for my imaginary customer!. it will take me a few hours to organize and store all that paper, but i could do this for days.... - in the end i did that as a child for fun!
