A pattern must.

One of my most profound all-time inspirations is the Wiener Werkstätte (Viena Workshop). I love their holistic approach to creativity, the amazing patterns they created, the artisan touch of everything... So contemporary but so ornamental at the same time.
Amazing.

I’ve scanned and gathered some images for you:

These two Koloman Moser patterns are serious stuff.. huh?

And below “Mauerblümchen” fabric designed by Lotte Frömmel-Fochler.

and the very same fabric applied by Josef Hoffmann at the Primavesi Country House.

Lynch One

Weeks ago saw “Lynch One” the first of a documentary series created by shooting for 2 years the life of Mr David Lynch.
My boyfriend and I were astonised because of the truly working man is shown on the film.
Lynch is a non-stop omnidirectional artist and craftsman!
I believe in holistic creativity too :)

Check this teaser from the documentary and let me know what do you think.

Notebooks and sewing cards...

I am a stationary addict, I confess. Present and Correct is driving me crazy with their great notebook selection...
But the sewing cards kit below is my fav at the moment!
Delicious.

Knit night cupcakes

How could I’ve lived without seeing this!? OMG!
I’m on an detox ayurvedic diet that is 95% vegan, so I read lots of blogs about vegan food with recipes that are amazing (I’ll post about them soon)... but when I saw these marvellous cute-as-hell-cupcakes on Vegan Yum Yum I fell in love. :)
The knit stuff is made of marzipan, and here you can check some tutorials to do it at home!
Lolo, you are a genius!!
