5_DEC_COUNTDOWN TILL CHRISTMAS

For today's inspiration I suggest this 3D Christmas card. It reminds me of my mum's cards that were made in the same way. I will look for them and show you. I also love the rustic combination between a tin can and the precious Christmas globe.

CHRISTMAS COMMING, IDEAS GATHERING

I know it is still early,but my Christmasy spirit was activated! Yup! Here we go again! Gaudeamus Book fair always revives the Christmas spirit in me. Each time I visit it, each year, I usually don't get out of there bear handed. This year was a special one, thanks to my latest crave for buying children books. So, I started my collection(well,it has been started long time ago by my parents when they bought some Russian story books, very nicely illustrated) with "Zana zorilor"( The fairy of the dawn) veeryyy beautiful drawn bu Madalina Andronic(http://the-awesome-project.tumblr.com/). I have been dreaming of it for so long, and now I had the chance and the motif to buy it! So, little baby, you will be the happy owner of the hugest story book collection ever!

I think I am starting to talk too much ( maybe it's a pregnancy  cause) and I am missing the point. Of course I started collecting ideas and images, old and new, for this year's Christmas presents . So, first list is for a SHE. Full of joy, white and clean.

Like these little, white, paper like porcelain lighted houses for a great centerpiece. That would really make every guest envy.:D Shop them from here.

Just remembered mum's old teddy bear and felt the urge to search for a traditional one. And look, I found it! As fluffy and cool as always. Right from here. Trust me, no girl will refuse it.;)

Next.

 A brilliant hand painted and made ceramic collar from http://the-awesome-project.tumblr.com/ This is on my wish list too, by the way.;)

For a trendy and devoted cook. A funky glove from http://www.ikea.com/ro/ro/catalog/products/50224026/

KIDS STUFF RESEARCH

Well it was normal to start somewhere. I am starting to get the mummy feeling and of course, I've been starting researching for DIY ideas to make for the muffin to come. It seems I will have a couple of creative months ahead. Hardly wait. 

I haven't laid my hand on toys for a long time now, since I have given away my stuffed animals collection. So, now, I have to take it all over again.But this time, by making them, creating them from scratch. Meanwhile, I am researching and find really cool and inspirational stuff all over the Internet. Thank you oh Mighty Internet!!!So, this is a little selection: 

These cute little "stuffs" are called BAMBAKS and they are found on http://en.dawanda.com/shop/Bambaks . Got to try them out.:D

The owls are in trend these days, so, take a look at these snoring ones from  http://en.dawanda.com/product/33237689-Greifling-Eulen-Babies-Ennio-Erica

The little one should learn counting sheep if you want to get a good sleep at night.For that, these flying sheep are perfect. Collect them from http://en.dawanda.com/shop/baraqada?order=newest_products&page=1#products

And from there, you can achieve this upside down bunny. Funky, right?

This is my toy list for today! DIY toys. More to come!;) Have a lovely Thursday!!! 

CHANGES

Due to the whole bunch of changes that have been happening in my life lately, I had the urge to change something about my "first child". You can easily see for yourself. What do you think? The image is from the National Cluj Arena, taken a few months ago. It's one of my favorite piece of architecture, here, in Romania.

DESIGN MONDAY_CHAIR ADDICTION

After a loooong,looong break, I even don't know why I took it so long. Maybe is still the autumn asthenia. Or I was just too lazy.:D Oh well, I came back. I hope. For my fans!:)) 

For today's issue, I suggest some design. Chair design. After the Eames exhibition, here in Bucharest, I have become more fond of chair design. And I have started a big search on this. I have made a selection and here is what I came up with: 

Chair by Jon Bjornsson. See the triangle inspiration again and again. As you probably know, it is the most stable element. You can create almost anything using it.

 Talking about motherhood the last post, this would be a perfect rocking chair for a hip nursery. It's a Winsor Rocker. 

 This image is probably familiar to you. Yes, it resembles Gaudi's works. Actually, This chair is inspired from his way of creating the arches for his Churches. The surface is of carbonfiber, the ribs are made of glass-filled nylon, by selective laser sintering. Of course, it has been generated by a software script.

 Another parametric image brought by United Nude under the name of Lo res Chair. You could easily fall for it and maybe confuse this chair for a sculpture. 2 in 1.

 I have always been mesmerized of how wood can be brought to such an image and shape. It is laminated wood and this magnificent chair is the creation of Andreas Lund Designs. 

Is this chair stable? I can't possibly tell you, but I certainly would try it. If it wouldn't have been for the visible white frame, You could probably confuse it to a ghost chair.Or to a very handy spider's work. The name of this masterpiece is Panton Chair and it's made by Jump Studios.

See you next time,with more design inspiration. More inspired than the one today. Have a great week!!
