This is for Amy

April 23rd, 2011

Today I’m missing Paris, my second home.

I felt the first cool breeze of the coming winter in Melbourne today and it reminded me of my Winter in Paris last year.

I miss… the sharp icy wind hitting me in the face as I walk around the corner on my way to the market or Metro.

I miss… warm afternoons in the apartment listening to French tv with amazing foods, especially real baguettes and Frazier-res from the Patisserie across the road

I miss…being under the Eiffel, small cars and the little carnival nearby

I miss… the art , the artists, Surrealists, Dada….

I miss… collecting street litter with David ,street art, photographing underground spaces, junk collecting and Mont Martre

I miss… big woolly coats, scarves and boots when slipping in the snow and Champs Elysees.

I miss… creating in my little studio in the corner of the lounge/bedroom I call the “Cubicle” in Paris and the view out my window.

I miss…. visiting family and friends and living with passionate French people and locals and the colours, the smells of my neighborhood .

I miss you Paris but, I will be back again and again because… most of all ,I miss my darling daughter Amy who lives there.

Room with a View

“ROOM WITH A VIEW”

The inspiration behind my latest series of screen printed handmade petite cushions…

When I’m in Paris this is the view I see from my bedroom window. Most timesI see a  big grey cat ( la Chat)  scampering over the terracotta rooftops. He jumps from building to building with such grace and balance without any fear at all.

Petite Cushions

Gorgeous hand- made petite cushion made from 100% raw cotton duck canvas. Printed with high quality enviromentally friendly water based fabric inks with French grosgrain ribbon, looped to hang. The silkscreen print was created from my original drawing.

Petite Size – 6×4.5 inches = 16 x 12cm.approx.

Ideas
A touch of French chic for your home.
Hang it from a scrolled hook or door handle.
A unique addition to the boudoir, a brooch or decorative hat pin holder.
Dangle it from your wrist as a generous pin cushion or in the sewing room…
