Illustration and handmade
Studio groenling (formerly known as: Mouseblossom) is Yvonne de Jonge, a designer/illustrator from Middelburg, the Netherlands, with a passion for handmade, nature, art and vintage.
For all my original illustrations I use India ink, water colour and/or pencils. Some of my illustrations are now also available on porcelain.
Living on the coast with nature around every corner, I have a treasure trove of inspiration right here: plants, animals, water, the elements. And of course: my own cats.
It affected my illustrations in a positive way: a woman with nosy little creatures in her wavy hair, a woman with cats in her hair, and even more cats depicted as totem animals.
For the illustrations on the porcelain brooches with mushrooms, birds and plants, my inspiration also came straight from nature itself: after long walks in our local nature reserves.
This feedback makes me very proud (thanks so much):
"This print is even nicer in person. Mouseblossom is an amazing artist. The swiftness of the transaction and delivery was wonderful. I'd purchase from her shop any time. Thank you for the print."
"Speedy delivery and wonderful cards :) Thanks!!!"
"These earrings are adorable! I love them, they add such a cute touch to an outfit. They're subtle so they're not too 'crazy cat lady' but still so cute!"
