Thanks, boots!

Taking off

What a crazy time of the year … what a crazy year!!!

So many pictures to post – of the time in Europe, of Japan adventures, of this late spring in Australia. One step at the time though, I will take it easy now (even if that hurts : ).

All will be well.

Hoping to fly towards the sun tomorrow. Almost time for season's greetings. Stay tuned, take care, chat soon!

Man jewellery!

Inari Kiuru 2011, Armour for the heart. Steel, glass. 

MANJEWELLERY was a project initiated by the amazing jewellist Melissa Cameron and published at Crafthaus website in 2011.

My theme for the two brooches, especially created for this virtual exhibition, was 'protection', something masculine in form but universal in nature, designed to shield and to ground.

I also really like the interesting series of tired Tokyo commuters leaning on surfaces, Tokyo Compression, by photographer Michael Wolf (an image from his series below). You can see more of his series here.

And finally, asleep at home …
