Hello, (image from The textile blog, via Apartment Therapy) I've been blogging about Neville Tricket lately and somehow mixed him up with another wonderful man, called John Hopper.How did that happen? Well, they both share a great love for art for instance, they have both wonderful Flickr photostreams, BUT John Hopper is the one with a strong love for textiles and a very organized blog and photostream about the subject. The man is good, believe me, and he's been mentioned on Apartment Therapy, right here. Here is where... [Lire la suite]

*One* man I'd love to have a long, good conversation with a tea cup in hand is called Neville Trickett. He comes all the way from South Africa, I live in Southern France, but we share a similar love for art, anything wunderkammer and strange, and diptychs, to name a few. Victoria from sfgirlbybay had been lucky enough to exchange a few words with him as an "unexpected guest". Check out the interview and the images! Neville has a great blog named Saint Verde (I wish I knew why) and an outstanding flickr stream, with a... [Lire la suite]

Hello Lovelies! pretty amazing shot by sam&matteo. I'm so sorry about not blogging lately. I must tell that I am sick in bed. Also my computer crashed. And the day before, I stumbled upon the pavement and hurt my knee pretty bad. On the other hand, I'm in love ( <3 ) and I gathered a LOT of material to show you guys! So hopefully I'll be back soon and things will rock design-wise! :-) -Beautymist.

It all started with Fall Colors, Yellow, Red, Orange, Green. All collected by the PoppyTalk blog that I so love. On the "collecting red" day, I noticed a picture i really liked, it's on the fourth (and bottom) line on this mosaic, the third in the row, when you start looking from the left. And I immediately noticed that said picture was by Flickr member "dailypoetics". I immediately fell for that name. And what a delight was is to discover that behind "Daily Poetics" stood a very interesting collage... [Lire la suite]
