Creative week-end

{Inspiration}: some good inspiration from this amazing photography by Rebecca Duke. I cannot wait for the week-end, I have so many ideas and a couple of things that I have made to show you as well!I am quite happy about how things are turning out, just the right balance between work-to-pay-the-bills and my creative world -of my own – which I appreciate and treasure more and more...things are taking shape somehow …

The many faces of Venice

{Moods}: Venice and its different moods.  Venice on its mystical days where the fog rises from the water along the canals,when its mysterious calle are silent; one of my favourite faces of Venice. Malinconica, nostalgic and mysterious; hidden away there in the middle of the lagoon. I miss its vicinity, its signs of past  dominance spread around the territory, I miss my land and its people…I am back to busy London and although I like both cities for different reasons, the more I live the more I feel closer to Venice and its many faces…..

Venetians away from home

{Arty}: Decorators, both from Venice, with their talented hands and artistic souls live in a little cosy house in the middle of the fields, from a rural dwelling to artists’ home, this house is in constant evolution, like their owners. Their techniques have been adapted to decorate furniture, walls, glasses and tiles. Every little corner of the house surprises you, it’s hard not to be overwhelmed by the exuberant artistic mode…
