Movement Study by Hillman Curtis

Adele {modernemotive} — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:12:18 +0000

A couple of years ago I attended a conference here in Toronto and Hillman Curtis was one of the speakers. Strangely enough I don’t recall the conference (an RDG one I believe) nor the topic of his lecture but I do remember this short film.

It moved me immediately and it still does today. If I try to sum up why words often escape me. My interpretation of it shifts. Today, this is my interpretation:

What does it mean to you?

D.I.Y. Bug

As I gear up to start my condo makeover, while I intend on buying some accessories, when I saw this D.I.Y. Fabric Flower Garland on Once Wed by Dolci Odille I found myself getting bit by the D.I.Y. bug. Don’t you just love it? I’m not sure where or how I’d hang it, but I want one. Like now.

If you’ve got any favorite D.I.Y. home accent tutorials you love, please share. Muchas gracias

Mesmerizing

This video has already made it’s blogging rounds, but it’s new to me and quite mesmerizing. It’s shot by Jon Rawlinson at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. It’s so serene to watch. The shadows of people looking into such a wonderful, almost secretive world combined with the music make it just perfect.

One can’t help but think of the BP disaster. :(

What are you crushing on right now?

I’m very much in nesting mode right now and I’m starting to think about what I want to do to my own home this year to make it more cosy. I’d give a home to these sweeties in a heartbeat.
