Miffy or "Nijntje"as we call her, is a creation of Dutch author, artist, illustrator and graphic artist "Dick Bruna" These children books have gone all over the world and Miffy is celebrating that her first book was published 60 years ago in 1955.
60 artists were given a large, white statue of Miffy. Each artist was allowed his or her own creativity to create an unique Miffy. These statues are placed around the Netherlands and Japan in a parade, here at the Museum square in Amsterdam.
Everybody loves Miffy, I read the books endless with my children when they were young.
Congratulations Miffy.
Marianne, thanks so much for these shots of "Miffy". I'm not familiar with this, but the artists apparently had a fabulous time crating these lovely Miffys.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenDearest Marianne,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a fun concept of giving 60 artists each a blank white Miffy statue for creating their own Miffy look!
Love these and they are thus as old as my second brother!
Hugs,
Mariette
How adorable! All of the artists did a wonderful job.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI've seen projects like this before. I like them. One I saw was polar bears that artists were given to decorate.
