...and today I made a cushion cover

Just finished these two quilts...

It must have taken me two months to make these two 

silk taffeta quilts, but it was worth it. I'm so happy

with them.

It's a floor lamp...

Unfortunately I didn't take the time to find out

who designed/made this nor whether or not

it is glass. It sure looked like thick hand blown

glass. Whatever...I love it!

Picture Puddle

As I walked past this puddle near my home in Milan,

I noticed that it was a picture in the pavement,

reflecting the blue sky and the honey and cream tones

of the architecture.

The Garden Wall

This is a great idea that was being presented

at the Milan Design Week. These white bricks

are made to enable you to fill the spaces with

earth in order to allow plants to grow from

your wall and have holes for birds to rest or

build nests in.

Feathered Lamps by Pluma Cubic at Milan design Week

Something between clouds and birds these feathered

lamps by Pluma Cubic float dreamlike with their

warm gentle glow creating a magical atmosphere. 

All the feathers are from geese or hens.

Tom Dixon - Stevie Parle in Milan

For Design Week in Milan this year there are many venues. 

The one where Tom Dixon is showing and also has the

role of Art Director is the 'National Museum of Science

and Technology Leonardo Da Vinci' which was once an Olivetan

Monestary built in the early fifteenth century.

This evening a friend and I were lucky enough to get a table

for dinner in the beautiful halls of the ex monastery.

The chef who mastered our delicious meal of three starters,

one main course and two deserts was Stevie Parle who's

reputation is well earned if the food I just ate is anything to

go by. This was the first time I'd ever eaten the tips of hops 

plants in a salad, or monk's beard with fish...fantastic!  

Todays total experience in the Museum was a triumph of

sensual stimulation.
