inspire :: takashi iwasaki

24 Feb

Japanese artist Takashi Iwasaki’s creates art pieces based on the visualization of his imaginary worlds and landscapes. Although each piece looks like they have been painted, it is actually embroidery.

“Those recent works may appear to be abstract on the surface, however, most shapes and colors have meanings and origins that are very significant to me in the way I feel them, therefore they are very representational and are reflection of my state of mind.”

See more of his work here.

Treacle

22 Feb

If you missed it yesterday, our next London shop tour of Treacle is up on Poppytalk! This was our first visit to Columbia Road on a Saturday instead of Sunday, the day of the infamous Columbia Road Flower Market. It was like night and day! The streets and shops along here are beautiful, like most of London (UK), so if you do have the extra time, take a stroll and pop in for a treat at Treacle!

collections

21 Feb

I try to not hoard too much stuff in my life, but I do love my collections. Ever since I discovered thrifting, I have started to collect a few things such as drawings / paintings with kittens, water pens, pyrex, and other kitchen items to name a few! There is just something special when you group “like minded” items, and obviously, they make such pretty display pieces!

Do you collect anything? Feel free to leave and comment and share your treasures!
