Very simple but beautiful drawings, I have always liked black ink drawings, and this ones on paper doilies are very cute. I was browsing  a print a day blog, and found them together with so many other interesting things!! What I didn't know is that this blog was related to parasol magazine online, which I love and find very inspirational, specially since they just have launched the first craft issue. (see pictures below and enjoy).

Me encantan estos dibujos en papel, son muy sencillos pero bonitos, los encontré en el blog a print a day, junto con muchas otras ideas e inspiración. La editora del blog ha producido la primera edición de parasol una revista electrónica dedicada enteramente al craft.

Niemeyer museum in Niteroi, Brazil

Hello from Peckham, I am at home, bored to the limit, (even my cat had enough of me)...Have spent the past week mainly indoors due to a nasty flu, that have kept me away from work and the things I like doing, like the blog, my cushions, the craft fair Kate and me were doing today and have to canceled, etc...I am here trying to get some inspiration going, but my head is not clear and my body is sore all over, so I have spent the past hour looking at my personal photo album, and found this photos from my trip to Brazil a couple of years ago. This is the Niteroi Contemporary art museum in Niteroi, a city outside Rio de Janeiro. I am a big fan of Niemeyer's work, so I couldn't wait to visit this building, but for my surprise it was closed in preparation for a new exhibition, I begged the lady at the reception to let me in, explained I came all the way from London to see it, but wasn't enough to convinced her...Well, at least I enjoyed the outdoors view which I have been told is the best anyway. It is an amazing piece of architecture, surrounded by water and nature. it is quite surrealist to stand next to it, you feel like in a different planet or like in a futuristic movie from the 50's.

Aqui estoy en mi casa, aburrida como una ostra, hasta mi gato esta harto de mi!! He pillado una gripe que me ha dejado parada...aqui estoy intentando hacer cosas, pero la cabeza me da vueltas y el cuerpo me duele, asi que me he pasado la última hora mirando fotos de mi viaje a Brasil.  Soy una gan fan del arquitecto Niemeyer y de su trabajo, y no podia esperar para visitar este museo de Arte Contemporaneo en la cuidad de Niteroi. Estaba cerrado cuando fuí, pero al menos disfruté del exterior, es una pasada!! Es como estar en otro planeta o en una película de ficción de los años 50.

So much inspiration...In The SELBY...

Wednesday 19 August 2009

Remember this name SELBY, I am going to be posting a lot about it, I love this website, a place to feature photographs, paintings and videos by photographer Todd Selby of interesting people and their creative spaces. A real treat and rare opportunity to take an intimate look at these people's homes and lives, full of small details, funny finds, secrets, art, personal items, each place is a different world on its own, it is true when people say that a home is a reflection of the people who live in it!! I truly believe this!! This is my random selection of photos, there is a shop where to buy the Selby book, (pictured below), posters, etc...

Recuerda este nombre SELBY, es una página dedicada a las personas y sus espacios fotografiados por el fotógrafo Todd Selby, me puedo pasar horas examinando estas fotos, llenas de detalles, recuerdos, secretos y mucho más...una mirada muy íntima de las personas que habitan estos lugares tan apasionantes e inspiradores!!

Monday 17 August 2009

I learnt about Follow Studio browsing flickr, what a great site!! I was taken by the pictures in their profile, first the house, the landscape and the cute dog...later by their paper designs, very simple and well crafted, this is just a small selection of their range, more in their website.

Un dia buscando inspiración en Flickr, me encontré con estas fotos del studio de diseño australiano Follow Studio, ellos se especializan en papeleria, sobre todo para bodas y eventos, sus diseños son muy sencillos y elegantes...y que te parece la casa? preciosa no??








Inspiration from Twig Hutchinson

Wednesday 12 August 2009

It has been an amazing sunny warm week here in London, and it seems it is going to stay like this for a few more days...My dream life would be to live in this amazing city, with this weather for almost all year, with Canary Islands (where I am from), just half and hour by car from here, with my language, food, family, friends, beach, culture, etc...would it not be perfect? 
This photo from stylist Twig from England represent how I feel this days, when the SUN is out, I feel closer to nature and just want to be outdoors all the time or seating in my garden...

Her work is a treat for the eyes!! Absolutely gorgeous and very inspirational. She was commissioned by Toast to design and style their store in London, she styles, designs and above all inspire all with her work!

Esta semana ha sido de lo más bonita en Londres, el Sol ha salido todos los dias, un milagro tratandose de Londres, ojalá permanezca así por muchos más días...esta foto de la estilista Twig, muestra como me he sentido estos días, más cercana a la naturaleza, y deseando pasar más tiempo en mi jardín, paseando en el parque y por ahí disfrutando del clima y la cuidad...solo me falta la playa.
