Limonada rosa - Pink lemonade
La que resulta al preparar limonada con lavanda. La receta (aqui) es de el libro "How to make your own drinks" de Susy Atkins que me traje de la biblioteca. El sabor es original, el color rosa me encanta, pero lo mejor el olor, y no solo en la copa pero el que quedo en la cocina.
Tonight I prepared my own after-diner tipple, homemade lavander lemonade( here is the recipe). I like the flavour, color and aroma; not only in the glass, the kitchen smell lovely tonight. The recipe is from Susy Atkins' "How to make your own drinks".

Ondas perladas - Pearl waves

A Hypothetical 1930's wig, I like the name for this cloche hat I saw at the Wash Up display curated by Judith Clark for Selfridges Project Ocean exhibition . It brings me to mind Josephine Baker and the fado singer Mariza. The delighful waves and delicate stiching make a charming piece. Design by Judith Clark, embroidery by Rosie Taylor-Davies, former head of the Royal School of Needlework).

Ganchillo de Miyake - Miyake crochet
Unos pantalones a ganchillo que vi en los escaparates de Issey Miyake . No se yo si esa tecnica con tanta textura en ese area es la mejor idea, pero como fuente de inspiracion no puedo negarle su valor. La tecnica usada para el relieve la mencione aqui.

Tridimensional crochet shorts found on the windows of the Issey Miyake showroom. I like the texturized quality of the tecnique used which I mencioned earlier on here.

Remembering dancing in the park a couple of weeks ago, the performace by the Ocampo's and the picnic on the grass . The best part... there is more of the same on the 14th of August.

Fotos bordadas - Embroidered photographs


Otra forma de poner el bordado en la palestra contemporanea. Como hacen Inge Jacobsen (que usa portadas de revistas y periodicos )y tiene un acabado del reves que me encanta. Al igual que Cecile Jarsaillon con imagenes cotidianas y algunas (aviso) censurables . Utilizando el punto de cruz y el de sombra sobre las fotos. Fotos cortesia de Inge Jacobsen y Cecile Jarsaillon.
An interesting way of giving a contemporary edge to embroidery. See the works of Inge Jacobsen and her crossstiched magazine covers, of which I like even the back of the work, like the Vogue cover. Cecile Jarsaillon, uses a few satin stiches to great effect on her everyday images. Photos from Inge Jacobsen and Cecile Jarsaillon.
