A few weeks ago my friend Jessica of Cast & Bind was over, and somehow our conversation turned to Tasha Tudor . I had never heard of her but was very intrigued, especially when I checked out the website above. I got the book The Private World of Tasha Tudor from the librar
A fantastic flower-shaped chandelier to joyfully illuminate your room, or a kitchen island where you can have breakfast while continuing to dream or to hang in that beautiful conversation place with friends and family where you can spend sweet moments of relaxation. This fairy-tale suspension comes from my childhood memories, in my grandmother's enchanted garden where I spent the summer, I fell in love with flowers and colors that today I reproduce with a lot of imagination in my luminous creations! This chandelier is made and hand painted by me in resin, I prepare these petals by modeling them by hand as well as the yellow and orange pistils that decorate the center of the flower and create shades of light; a work of patience that takes about a week to make 56 PETALS one to one, once assembled in this fantastic shape, I model the petals so that they take on a slightly rough natural look! The flower lamp measures 14" (35 cm.) approximately in height for a diameter of 24" (60 cm.), the braided textile cable is white and is approximately 47" (1.20 mts) long, I will send a white rosette to hang it. The lamp holder is E 26/27, use only LED lamps, to take the photos I used an 8.5 W natural light (4000k) LED lamp. (use maximum 13 W) The photos are taken in my outdoor summer laboratory on the mountains of Lake Como, in the city the temperatures are too high to work the resin in a natural way, however, the light is for indoor use only. It can be cleaned by dusting or with a slightly damp cloth. The imaginative lilac and pink flower chandelier will be ready to be shipped FREE of charge in about 10 days. For fast shipping please send me a PHONE number, thank you!

Walking through sprawling fields of blooming flowers is the perfect way to celebrate Spring. I had been looking forward to visiting these fields for months and it was such a gorgeous day when we arrived. The fields are located in Carlsbad in Southern California, about 40 miles north of San Diego.

Fields of vibrant flowers spring from a Brooklyn brownstone, basketball court, and Vermeer’s “Girl with Pearl Earring” in Equinox Collection by Grif. The Manhattan-based artist is working on an ongoing series of animations that transform objects and spaces into wild gardens in full bloom. The looping clips are designed to “illustrate how nature’s energy will continue to evolve, reclaim, and transfer even without us,” Grif says. “The concept of transferring energy is one that is constantly in motion.
