Creatures

After a terrible raging teethache and some various "family adventures" I'm back...

sneak peek for today

Have a good day

Milenka and the Pyramids

ohlala, I haven't been so much on this place... and yours again !!!!
Time to say, though, how enchanting was the concert I've seen on last week-end.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the scenery, the background pictures behind the stage... Giny truly has a lovely voice... and the cutest baby ;)

You can check out this little world here

Inspiring

From my november workshops...

Each child made one illustration,

 I made one different cover, one unique story for each class and one book per child.

Finally, I brought the pretty piles to the schools... The big smile of the children made my day.

Their ideas and interpretations really amazed me.

Sorry for the bad pictures, the light was awful last week !!!

Have a shiny day everyone

A bunch of small elements from my "parisian story"

It was cold, really really very cold.

Anyhow, Paris has the strange power to warm up my heart so easily.

I walked everyday through the town, eyes wide open trying to see the most possible in one glance. I love the special mood of the city, and the surprises everywhere.

One place I had on my to-do-list was "Le petit atelier de Paris" It's a wonderful little shop where you can find the most fabulous ceramics which are designed and handmaid in their own workshop there. They are very sweet and Ponpon the dog is the loviest I've ever seen. It was terrible to make a choice, I just wanted everything... I'll show you later what I've chosen to bring with me... and some of the billions pictures I made during the vacations :)

From another walk ...The amazing sculpture of the couple was truly fantastic. It reminds me of the Camilla Engmann's world. It was raised in the courtyard of... the Hunting Museum. The subject didn't seem so attractive but we have been told later that it's worth being visited, maybe one next time... 

The ginkgoes at the corner of the street were sumptuous even if they were hiding a bit the Combas' mural painting.

The bird is a little fellow I sew for my friend Caty 

Now I'm back and I miss my friends already...

But The week-end was filled with happy time... The mesmerizing Alela Diane in concert, the nice surprise to recognize Gini there and the pleasure to meet her with regis before the concert, I'm looking forward seeing them soon.

The sun then, which was missing us after too much rain...

a New week and some new projects... Workshops with many children, I will make them doing their own book.

Then, on saturday I'll be participating at the book fair of st-laurent du var for my book "aux menus plaisirs" (éditions du Rouergue)

Have a nice day

playtime

on every wednesday children are at home

As soon as their homework is finished we can make a lot together...

It's amazing to see how endless  is their imaginary world and how they feel totally free to create without any fear of failing. Though it's gently changing as they're growing older, my son is 12 and he is sometimes fighting against some  representation's  archetype.

Well I know this feeling too...

Anyhow, this shared sweet time is a pretty and inspiring thrill.

I'm still experimenting some needle works and I like to mix it with photo. This is a quick peek.

More is coming soon.

be well and have pleasure being creative

it was a bright and warm week-end

Golden leaves all around

Autumn colors catching up my eye everywhere I go.

Strange peppers from the small market and some spicy-yummy-apples.

Million birds in the sky and on the trees.

It's still too hot here... but I won't complain 

I'd like though to wear my new tights and my favorite boots. 

some wrapped things I've seen on my way ...

as I was wholly wrapped up in this busy week.

... and a little sketch.

It's time now for a friendly week-end

a nice place for nice portfolios
