the nature is ultimate beauty in this world

They said:... 'The Snow is a 15-meter-wide dynamic installation..... Seeing the hundreds kilograms of light feather blown all over and falling down slowly, the memory of the snow scape would lie within people’s heart would be bubbled up.....The snow scape created with the feather would be more like the memory of snow lying with people rather than the actual snow.....The most beautiful things I believe in this world is what is irreproducible, accidentally born, and disorder that cannot be understood by the theory. I believe the nature is the ultimate beauty in this world.'....

Installation by Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka. I haven't been to any exhibition for a while and if I live in Tokyo I wouldn't want to miss this. Till November the 7th. Again via very inspirational dezeen

home tour at cafe mom + surprise for me

Home Tour at Cafe Mom with me:) Have a look and let me know what you think. And there was a surprise for me today when I lost 16.000 photos from my laptop. Yes I do take photos a lot. From rage to anger to tears after 4 hours I managed to recover most of them, they all in one big folder, so I can't find anything. Lost all my documents as well....But Hey! there are some better days :) have a great day everyone!

I'm a bit upset, disappointed, annoyed and angry. Just found out about couple of people copying my work and selling it. I do understand that my design can be very good 'DIY' idea, but please don't sell it on.. ....

But anyway. Most of these days apart from work I try to enjoy every minute with family. Long summer evenings and ever so talkative and cute A.

and ....

one recent project of mine. I couldn't find the right door handles for our wardrobes so I decided to make them on my own. I wanted something simple, almost invisible, nothing plastic, but didn't want push and open system as I thought with white finish it would get dirty very soon. I used remnants of leather from my previous work and cut thin stripes. I sealed the edges with clear varnish ( there might be a different product for this) but this worked just fine. Then I folded them in half ( measured the wanted length before) and screwed them on the inside of the door ( they bend over the edge of the door). You could also use cord or ribbons. I used only little screws, so it didn't damaged the wardrobe and I can easily replaced them when I want to.

have a great week everyone!

Just a few photos from last week at my parents. The weather was wonderful, we had a great time and worked hard. The kitchen and bathroom at our holiday home are almost finished, still need doors, lights, shelves...but I feel very happy what we have achieved. Thanks to my parents! and unreliable builders and even more annoying plumbers:) What do you think?
