Vitamientjes / Vitamins




In deze tijd van het jaar, met donker weer én veel zieke mensen (griep), is het verstandig om genoeg vitamientjes tot je te nemen. 
Oma geeft haar kleindochter dus een banaantje, ze krijgt alleen de schil niet goed los, Oma helpt 😉.

In this time of year it’s wise for taking enough vitamines, the weather is gloomy, so less sun, and lots people are sick (fluenza). 
So Grandma hands over a banana to her granddaughter, she only can’t open the peel of the banana, Grandma is helping her 😉.






Banaan is gemaakt van Fimo klei, de schil is van papier.
Banana is made out of Fimo clay, peel is made of paper.




Voor een interessante en uitdagende opdracht ben ik bezig geweest om fruit te maken: appels, peren, druiven aan een tros, kersen, perziken, een banaan (gewoon om uit te proberen 😉) en een paar pruimen (sommige zijn al ’n poosje geleden gemaakt). Verder heb ik geëxperimenteerd met het maken van opengesneden vruchten mèt pitten erin…….pffff, wàt een ingewikkeld process was dàt, zeg!

For an interesting and challenging commission I've been busy making fruits: apples, pears, grapes on a bunch, cherries, peaches, one banana (just for trying out 😉) and a few plums (some were made awhile ago). I also experimented again with making open-cut fruits with pips in it...... phew, THAT was quite an complicated process...!



Als je goed naar de appels kijkt op bovenstaande foto, dan zie je dat de appels al wat “ouder” zijn, hun schil is al ietsje gerimpeld, net zoals bij ons, mensen, hihihi 😉!

If you look well on the above picture, you can see that the apples are a bit "old”, because their skin is just a bit wrinkled, just like with us, people, hehehe 😉!



De fel rode appeltjes (rechtsvoor) zijn de zogenaamde “sterappeltjes”, dat is een oude appelsoort, die ik nog ken vanuit mijn jeugdjaren.
Ze roken heerlijk zoet en ze hadden licht roze gekleurd vruchtvlees.
Dank voor jullie fijne reacties, allemaal een hele fijne week toegewenst!

The bright red small apples (front right) are named “star apples” (literally translated from Dutch), it’s an old sort of apples, which I can recall very clearly of my childhood.
They smelled wonderfully sweet and they had light pink colored flesh (pulp?).
Thank you for your kind comments, have a nice week!

Dear Ilona, your fruits are Awesome! And I LOVE to see Little you with Grandma helping to peel the banana! :)
The apples are wonderfully real... my apples are best when a little bit wrinkled... sweeter and softer that way! As usual, I am so impressed with your perfect produce!!! :)

Quelle jolie scène, une grand-mère et sa petite-fille, on ne se lasse pas de cette jolie image !

Bonne journée Ilona ! Bises.

Hi Ilona! Do you know why I love your dolls? They are alive! Yes, they are alive! They can peel a banana, talk, be amazed and rejoice!
Your fruits are unique! I imagine how difficult it is to make sliced fruits with pits! But how interesting and exciting it is!
Thank you very much for the tip :) :) :). Paper banana peel! That's great!
Hugs

Dear Ilona, the fruit is all wonderful. I am always amazed at the realism and amount of detail you manage to get into these tiny, tiny pieces of art.
I too remember the little star apples from when I was growing up. We used to get them around Christmas time and would polish them up until they were really shiny before hanging them on the tree with silk ribbons.
Have a lovely week.
Hugs
Anna

Dear Ilona,
I can never have enough of your photos, especially the ones with little-you and your grandmother. They tell me so much about how life in the 50th was in Holland, not much different than it was here.
Your fruit is stunningly lifelike. Please don't let us mention wrinkles, a very sad subject for me.
Hugs, Drora

All your fruit is amazing, but the banana is my favorite. The scene with grandma and granddaughter is so sweet.

Jodi Hippler zei

Grandmas are always taking the best care of us! Even though they are just dolls, you can still see the love between them! The bananas look not only totally real, but delicious, too!!! The rest of the fruits - what can I say... You are a Master! :O)

Christa Chayata zei

Wat zal al dat fruit een uitdaging zijn geweest om te maken.
En wat is je dat weer goed gelukt.
Het ziet er watertandend echt uit.
Stuk voor stuk kunstwerkjes.
Fijn weekend alvast.
Liefs Christa.

Tus frutas son perfectas !!!!

BiWuBär zei

Oh my… I'm late… but better late than never. And it would have been such a shame to miss this wonderful post. It was so touching to see Little-You and Grandma together, yes, that's what Grandmas are for… taking care of their grandchildren in any way. And it helped… because your coughing has gone with the wind now… ;O)

The peeled banana and all the other fruits are stunning and look realistic enough to take a bite. And the wrinkled apples… this is that certain touch of realism that makes your work so outstanding and special.

Hugs
