Star Light

Rediscovering a child’s heart by applying the stickers of Nath to antique glass jars.
Filling them with golden stars to embellish them with magic...then placing a candle inside that flickers gently.
With this small china horse retrieved from a car-boot, create an arrangement beneath a cloud cut from sparkly paper.

The Wooden Star

Inspired by the beautiful stars created by Florence Bouvier, I have created a star, using pieces of found wood and former glass plungers, to celebrate the arrival of spring.

Other stars shall take form this summer upon our patio to cast light upon our evenings spent relaxing beneath the star lit sky. To make the most of the last Christmas roses left in the garden and display the small clay pots retrieved this weekend.

Giving in to these miniature cardboard cake tins found in Carrefour.
Retrieving some miniature stamps and rediscovering the child within us.

Customizing a cardboard box, so kindly offered by Chantal, with a piece of Aurélia's printed ribbon.

Gathering Lichen

Each year during the days preceding Christmas, the collection of lichen has become a ritual enjoyed by the whole family.

Treading on the stony path surrounded by pine trees, rock roses and fragrant cascades.
Then wandering the woods, hoping to find some nice grayish balls and other boughs which will bring a natural touch to the house.
I delight in this unique place located in a wood, which at every step I take, reminds me of the landscapes of Marcel Pagnol.

This year, the harvest took place under the watchful eye of our new companion.
And once arranged on an old garden chair, this one takes himself for a young raindeer and devours a little each day.
