Same But Different

Same But Different Art Fair

see me there

travel: Amsterdam

We decided to spend last days of 2013 in Amsterdam. 

Worry was that five days city break might be to much for 4 year old, but we couldn't be further from the truth.

 Sam enjoyed everything from museums, boat trips and shopping to bike riding. Amsterdam apart from being great party place is extremely family friendly and full of inspiration. We haven't  managed to see half of the things we have planned! Here is just a quick report with highlights of our trip.

Rijksmuseum
..apart from Rembrandt works, much beloved by us for recent renovated spaces by
Spanish architects Antonio Cruz & Antonio Ortiz

United Nude Shop - brand founded by Rem D Koolhas 

(nephew of the Rem Koolhas ,one of the most important architects of our days)

I love architectural approach to form in UN creations,

when in Amsterdam I always visit this place.

Hotel Droog headquarters of fabulous Droog Studio.

 Some of their designs (milk bottle lamp) can be found on display at Stedelijk Museum. 

Droog prepared as well holographic projection of Christmas Tree in the atrium of Rijksmuseum 

which was absolutely beautiful.

Great Northern

Great Northern is now finished and I have to say, although I still feel exhausted after long four eventful days, I am overwhelmed with positive comments and feedback my work received.

Thank you all for visiting my little exhibition, all new followers on Facebook & Twitter. 

Most of all big thank you to all of those who loved my work enough to take it home.

I gained great friends and met fantastic makers. 

It was a good opportunity for networking and getting new contacts.

If you have visited me, please leave short comment with your opinion, as this would help me to get better in my work.

holiday blogging

I' back now from having great time with my family and friends. Weather was lovely, company just fantastic and well... I am feeling very lazy now and terrified looking at the pile of "urgent matters" waiting on my desk.

So just few shots bringing back memories of the holiday mood.

+ + + + + +

all necessities packed ...

can you show me older teddy than this one?

back to 1995 ..found in my old photo album

home transformation

we are right in the middle of refurbishment , 

which now got to the state when "almost" everything is ready and waiting for final decoration

our home reveals scruffy textures, pealing paint, bare floor boards and accidental holes

all of this is worth documenting as we finally have the feeling that its coming together

*********

layers of different paint finish accumulated through decades by different owners

should we keep it?

this is my favourite fireplace in the house
(especially for Little Paper Crane )

textures and light

PS. Well done Tony for all your hard work. I love you.
