Awesome Street Art - Barcelona

Hello! Ok, i'm back online. I've moved into an apartment with some lovely Chilean students and we just sorted out the WIFI. I was starting to suffer some serious withdrawals! Also trying to get my shop back up and running in the next week or so but just finding suitable packing materials etc in a new country is proving an adventure!

So here is the first of the many things I have to share. I am a HUGE fan of street art and Barcelona is one great place to see it! Hope you like these pics as much as I do. :)

She´s Alive!!!

Yes, it´s true, I´m alive and well in Granada, Spain. My internet access is very limited at the moment as I am living with a crazy old Spanish woman in her baby Jesus shrine while I look for a room in a share apartment. Needless to say I´m hoping to find one very, very soon! I miss my internet life with my crafty friends and I have so much cool stuff to share once I get sorted. For now, here is a photo of Granada. Hope to be back in the loop again soon. :)

Paris!!!

Yay for being in Paris! I've been here a couple of times before so have tried hard to avoid the cliches. Sorry, no Eiffel Tower pics here! Never fear though, I have found some much cooler things to share...This is the shop in the lobby of 'Tokyo Eat' a modern art gallery slash bar, slash restaurant, slash bookshop, slash all round trendy place, located conveniently next to the Modern Art Gallery of Paris. I often find that gallery shops are as exciting, if not more exciting than the galleries themselves. This was no disappointment with fantastic designs such as rings made from crayons and vinyl flower hair combs some of which were displayed in fridges. Very effective!

This is a one of around 20 images displayed in the Palais Royal beside the Louvre advertising artisans. This one displays a rainbow of wool samples. I like the contrast of colours against the stone.

And a cool sculpture in the Palais Royal. How cool are the reflections?

We also stumbled upon this fantastic exhibition called Carton Plein! where 13 architectural artists have worked with cardboard to create the most fantastic pieces! The website doesn't have much info but I'm going to scan in the brochure when I have a chance because it is well worth sharing.

That's it for now! :)

On My Way....

I am well and truly on my way, currently stopping over in Korea. I'm not usually a fan of photos taken out the window of planes (though I always seem to take them) but I quite like these ones I took flying into Seoul. I'll check back in soon from Paris where I'm sure I will have something more exciting to share - if I make it to the hostel with my stupidly heavy backpack! :)
