When flowers seem too flowery, vegetables as décor offer a great modern twist. With many designers exploring the vegetable as inspiration objects within themselves, it is getting easier to get your 5 -10 servings a day…

There has been a bit of glass fever happening in Montreal this past while, with many exhibits of artists exploring glass in ways which address the history of the medium while also reinventing it. Whether used a building material or an object within itself, there is timelessness to this very slow moving liquid that can’t be denied.

Ça vous dit quelques choses?
Et bien pour ma part, j’ai pris la décision de ne rien cultiver cette année… Sauf peut-être…

“Accent pillow” has to be one of the most overused terms in interior design today… All the same, a little comfort for a rainy Monday afternoon is in order. These artists and designers reinvent the idea of the pillow in completely appealing ways.  With no resemblance to anything even remotely accentish.

J’ai envie de peinturer…mais  plutôt  sur des galets comme René Char… ou de lancer des gouttes de peintures sur les murs… Dommage que la peinture sèche!

Sur une trame neutre confondant les styles et les époques, je peux superposer l’instantané, les images et les textures du moment présent. Je tisse ma palette de couleur au gré des envies, mais le solide demeure. J’habille les pierres du jardin, je prépare un gâteau-décor. Ainsi s’exprime une certaine idée de la frugalité puisque le petit bout de papier,  la découpe d’actualité devient le décor. Et puis, pourquoi pas, je traîne  tout cela avec moi!l
