Inspiration: Lost in the woods.

I'm still on forest-branch-woods-grasses mode, thanks to the work of Colby June featured on my earlier post. So i went on an expedition to the www to find the images that most suited my current mood. I want to share with you what i found:



Jewellery thursday






Oh look at this beauties!! i wish that was my hand and be the owner of all those rings.
I like every single one of them, specially the two in the third picture, the branch and the stick, my goodness, i need them! They`re so perfect...
This collection is part of the work of jeweler Colby June and her pieces are like an expedition to the woods: river rocks, branches, leaves, grasses, seeds, you name it!
You can visit her Etsy store and see more of her pieces. You'll fall in love with it.
I came across her work going through the pages of the blog Teenangster. And also at teenagster i found a fantastic piece of jewellery-sculpture that mystifies me completely:



This is the work of artist Tithi Kutchamuch and it's called Companion Parrot. Call me creepy if you will, but i love this piece. I think it's beautiful, and eerie and very interesting
Be sure to visit Teenangster is you are in the mood for dark and beautiful (and sometimes scary) inspiration.

And while the little one is taking a nap...












I waste my time snapping pictures of rocks...
Well i love my rocks, you know. They're pretty.

Inspiring room


My flat - restored table, originally uploaded by h4ndz.

I saw this pic at Sfgirlbybay today and fell in love with the room.
We're moving out from this apt this year and i'm not planing to invest anymore energy in here, but for our next place i would love to decorate it with this room as inspiration.
The picture comes from here and you can check the rest of this beautiful flat. I looove the white, the punch of yellow, the bright colours in the details and the fun wall art.

So neat, too!!

Jewellery thursday

Today i want to show you the wonderful work of my dear friend Marie Khediguian.
I meet Marie at my jewellery class and we connect from the first moment. She's so funny, sweet and talented and i admire her so much because she is not afraid of follow her dreams.
MarKhed is the name of her jewellery line and i just love the pieces she makes! some of them had an architectural feeling (that may be because she's and architect), others feel like they are from another time, a more beautiful and romantic time. I've been very lucky to have the chance of watch her working, so it's very exiting to see how well she's doing with her jewellery and i often say: "Oh, i was there when Marie made that!"!
Visit her store to enjoy her work and her blog MarKhed Design for cool inspiraton!

Battery charged! Voila le gateau!!! cool, isn't it??



The birthday boy and his cake, he loved it!!

I made this cake yesterday for Daniel, the son of my friend Andrea. He loves airplanes and i saw this cool rainbow cake in ohdeedoh the other day and i couldn't wait to make it, I mean, what a fantastic combination are rainbows and airplanes!! i felt like a child making this cake.
So,thanks Dany for turning two
