Tendliving | Eco Gardens

I recently found an old schoolfriend from Hawaii, Britton Neubacher, on facebook and found out that she is up to wonderful things. I love her sense of Modern Design and the fun she is having with interiorscaping. She has done some wonderful living walls, wall bubbles and hanging spheres. All of her projects are eco friendly and just delightful.

She has a wonderful site called Tendliving. Check it out when you get a chance. Lots of great plant eye candy.

Sophie Adde - Artist

I came across this French artist's artwork on the Papaya Blog.
I just love the way her pieces have a collaged look and of course I love the asian influence. I have started a small collection of vintage tins and I enjoy how her paintings feature some. Her web site is here.

Kimono Hair Accessories

I came across these wonderful hair accessories from Flutter and thought they are a must have. I am seeing a lot of these little flowers around. I think the hair pick is my favorite. The necklace came from Ruby Lane's spot at Solo in Cedros Design District.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

On a whim my son Dylan and I snuck off to see the movie, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I really had not heard too much about it but was intrigued with the title. I watched the trailer and it all clicked. This was Heath Ledger's last role.

I absolutely thought the sets and imagery in this movie were amazing.

One of my favorite scenes was the water lily scene where they are swimming through the lilies. I wanted to paint it immediately.
I also was in awe of the monastery where you see the elephants and they pan up to the buddha like figure and with the lotus.
The gypsy trailer was just so wonderful as well I loved the marquee and banners.
I also loved how they all wore so many layers and the kimono robes were just gorgeous.

I very much enjoyed the movie. Go see it.

Thomas Wold - Furniture Design

I find this designer's style fun and fairy tale-ish.Thomas Wold does a wonderful job creating these whimsical pieces.
