Welcome to The Frippery Observatory

A creative field journal and cabinet of curiosities.

Here, I collect and share fragments from my practice - process musings, visual experiments, studio peeks, and tangled thoughts from the edges of history, science, and myth.

This is not a blog in the traditional sense, but a capsule of creative curiosity:
a space for discoveries that don’t quite fit anywhere else.

Some entries are open to all, while others live behind a gently closed door.
As a Full-Time Watcher, you’ll receive access to members-only posts, updates from the studio, and the occasional surprise
- perhaps even something in the post (if you’re in the Netherlands).

Unlock the door

Otherwise, feel free to enjoy what’s freely available!

The Inspirations Behind 'No Man’s Land'

What happens when isolation and strange surroundings twist the mind? No Man’s Land explores the fine line between reality and paranoia, inspired by Antarctic myths, failed polar expeditions, and eerie psychological phenomena. Discover the real stories behind this haunting tale.

Making Christmas by Hand

I challenged myself to create unique handmade Christmas cards using only materials at home - no printing allowed! Inspired by Victorian paper peepshows and Dutch windows, I crafted layered, three-dimensional designs that capture the cozy holiday spirit. Want to see the full creative process?
