This weekend, it’s open house in the artists’ studios in Belleville.
Anyplace in streets, courts and backyards, more than 200 artists welcome you with open arms.
This is the right time for a nice walk in the heart of this Parisian quarter which is so full of surprises…
The paintings above are by Philippe Barnier. An artist I like a lot, and not only because he’s my cousin!

This morning, in my mailbox I found one issue of Lee . It’s a Japanese magazine which did a photo shoot at my home in the end of winter.
I always smile when I see my home on pictures, but in a Japanese magazine on a subject about Parisian interiors in Scandinavian style, it’s really funny, don’t you think?

Today it’s Coloring Day! A happy coincidence that it’s Wednesday.
The trademark Staedler is the initiator of this simple idea: children help other children by offering their drawings for the benefit of Save the Children.
If you want to know more about it, click here.
On this occasion I remind you of the Kid’s drawing group set up by my friend.
You won’t get tired of these refreshing, courageous and unique drawings.
I feel sad having lost all my drawings at a flood. Here’s the only one that remains from my childhood:
Scary, isn’t it?

As every year in the same season, they will celebrate the Tulips Festival in the beautiful park next to my home.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been watching the bloom which will be just in time for the big day. But for some time, tulips also have invaded the studio. It is Kristina who prepared her new origami’s lesson!
We went to plant them in the park so that they can party too! I hope it will be sunny…

A Mom who thinks that pandas are cute, who has asian origins and a baby born hairier than expected, and here is a birth announcement for brand new Léopold…
It all started eight years ago, with a desire to announce good news!
Since then I’ve always had a lot of fun creating custom-made announcements.
Still, it is not always easy to create one that will fit unknown people.
But that’s where all the fun is! Because I have to ask lot of questions, because I get many answers, because we get to discuss about many issues, and at the end it also occured that we became friends!
For this one it was much easier, I knew the client well because it was… my mom!

Two weeks ago, that was my birthday. And I got this huge book as a gift!
Since two weeks ago, I kept flipping through the pages, discovering and rediscovering Charley Harper’s talent. I already knew his pictures, which waken up some memories, but I didn’t really know a lot about the author. But what a masterwork!
If your birthday is still far away but theses pictures make your mouth water, enjoy right here!
