this got me so inspired, that without even noticing it, many memories from my last *favourite* relationship came back to my mind. and I decided to start a new series of illustrations about what we used to do/be together.

although I’ve now moved on, those are all precious memories I want keep securely nested somewhere around my head.

headbands and I have that special relationship. I love them. especially the weird and colourful ones that no one dares to wear unless they’re under influence.
I don’t mind. I think that, as human beings, we’re ought to have fun and experiment.

I’ve always dreamnt of making my own special headbands, with flowers, lace, tulle and pretty beads. but somehow forgot about this project.

however, in the span of twenty-four hours, I got a picture of me - monkeying around with my headband - taken by a friend, and came across this beautiful shop. this made me remember that quick list I had written down… somewhere.

a list about two headbands I thought about months ago. a lotus flower one. and another one with a white satin flower, bead-embroided lace and tulle.
now, I need to make those soon. and share them with you.

flickr is my favourite place ever. well, along with tumblr and your bed.

love her. that girl she seriously wears some accessories I would die for. fearless fashion, just as I like it.

can you now guess what I did last night?
all of a sudden, I decided to take my scissors, invible thread and sewing machine out to make Molly’s party garland.

mine is pretty small - around two hundred centimetres long - but was real quick to make. from the initial shape-cutting to the final hanging, only a couple of hours went by.
now two things:
1. I’m in love with chain piecing and invisible thread, although I need to practice.
2. since randomness is my favourite word, I blindly/freely cut out my shapes (triangles and rectangles, only) from a one-metre-long and thirty-centimetre-wide piece of cotton fabric, which I first folded in half (wrong side together).

if you want to see a gorgeous step-by-step, check out Molly’s site.

no actual beauty here; however, I can’t help but feel lucky about what I see from my window.

I took those around ninish pm; just before making something really exciting that I can’t share with you right now because of the no-light conditions that won’t allow me to take decent pictures of the said exciting-thing.

more tomorrow.

other than that I’ve been talking with P. about the polyphasic sleep schedules he’s been experimenting for the past couple of days. I’m super inspired and can’t wait to do this myself. many nights and days of fun ahead.

my eyes can’t get enough of Alessandra Mortola’s beautiful props. every single picture from her portfolio feels like a firework.
ps. merci Anne-So for the find.

by the way, I can only advise you guys to check Anne-So’s tumble blog. she’s *very* active; and collects some of the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen.

beautiful wire sculptures by Marie Christophe. I’m so smitten about this right now. but who wouldn’t?

love all those beautiful patterns Kate made for her monthly zines. they look so pretty, all standing next to one another.

those are a couple of pieces I bought a fortnight ago at a terrific vide-greniers. I’m in love with anything enamel at the moment.
and that beautiful cake tin stole my heart.

I’ve decided on using my 50mm lens more often; because it’s been a little left on its own when I got the 100mm.

oh and because I broke the mirror on my old sx70, I had to buy a new one through the german ebay (they have some cheap ones over there). in the end, I got the white and brown one, which I find absolutely pretty. and for just 49 euros.
I managed to make today be a great day despite the polaroid accident :( and just love this feeling.
