my boyfriend in Antalya

Here's my lover...

Art déco revival...

Here's one of my new creation, it took me about 3 days to finish it but I'm quite happy of my work.
I was going on a second hand trade with my mother, a guy came to me and said "hey you, you like this furniture", of course I do but I just don't have any place in my flat!!!
"I sell you this furniture for 20 euros and I deliver it with you now...". Of course I have place in my flat, ok, my mother said the magical words "it could be the easter bells who offer you this furniture :)".
Well, well, well, ok, I take it!
Then, I took the furniture with this man that I just don't know anyway and I put it in the tow.
After this, I bought a sandpaper machine, I took over one full day to do it, I just couldn't breath anymore.
The day after, I choose the colors!!!
Flashy, of course.
I liquified acrylic colors, and I painted my furniture, it was just what I want, and my old furniture from 40's came back to life.
Now, he is in my bedroom and I admire him every day and the orange glass handles are just awesome...
How could we throw pieces like that???

KOKESHI DOLLS

Kokeshi dolls are made of wood and have no arms or legs. There are many different styles, but all are simple in their design with a head and a body - a sphere and a cylinder. They are usually very small, just few inches tall, but may be larger. The original dolls were always female. (Modern kokeshi dolls can be male).
According to the author of Japanese Dolls, there may be some religious significance to these dolls. The name itself means: ko=child, keshi=erasing. "In years of famine, women were unable to feed all their children and were reduced to abortion or infanticide (killing of a new-born baby). The new-born babes vanished so that the others should live. Kokeshi could thus have been memorial dolls, kept into the house to appease the spirits of the dead. In Japan feeble girls were less wanted than strong boys. No arms, no legs - a wrapped-up child or an innocent, wistful little ghost who has no need of arms or legs?"

Totoro papier-mâché

My friend Totoro in papier mâché...

Yomi-Yomi Belgian Dagobert

Yesterday, my friends came to my flat.
What I am gonna do??? Pasta? Pizza? No, something simple, so I've made some "dagoberts".
Take a round loaf, put mayonnaise on it, one slice of gouda cheese, one slice of ham, one egg cooked hard, mayonnaise again, salt, pepper and salad...
Good taste, you can even make some american or english "dagoberts", just change the flag... :p

Ugly doll

One day, I saw a monster on my way, He wasn't the usual monster that we see everywhere, no, not the scary one, not the bloody one with awful green teeth and black nails with stinking breath, no, this one look like the bubblegum color in my childhood.
He present me his friends, since this day, I have welcomed them in my family and that's growing with times, you just cannot stop!!!

My neighbor Totoro...

Totoros are the guardians of the forest, this is a wonderful story, with strange persons, loving family, this a dream, not a movie. Hayao Miyazaki, the father of Mononoké Princess and Le voyage de Chihiro, is probably one of the best japanese movies maker, if you have the opportunity to see one of them, you'll be enchanted to visit another world, the world of the dreams who come true.

Polochon, Cynoke and Choco

Here are our fishes, our friends, we used to buy a larger aquarium because they became bigger and bigger and bigger...
They're our friends because every time that I get nervous, I look at them, suddenly, I'm quiet, I'm cool, I'm happy...Polochon is the biggest white fish, cynoke is the girl who always make babies (the red one with white parts) and choco is the all red one (he used to have black parts on his body but one month after, he lost his black spots I guess that the seller paint his fishes...)
