Not that i want to take the place of Design* Sponge genious- and maybe she´s posted about this already-, but had you seen this looovely mirror?Posted by Picasa
I found it at www.elsewares.com. It´s a design from Design Can duo: they have one mirror with laser-cut moustache that is hilarious!...but i´m more of the "songbird" kind. You can see the hole range here.Cute!

It´s a zakka world!

oh! Posted by Picasa It seems there´s no end to cuteness in Japan´s zakka world. I keep finding great links to zakka, handmade or simply lovely stuff in Japan. What i find most awesome is the attention to detail and the tastefulness with wich they display their items. Here are some random links:

Zakka wonders! + couple o´ cherries i made 2dayPosted by Picasa
I was so much dying to own some of those Zakka books that i saw pictured in other people´s blogs; especially when Craftlog girl created the gorgeous Crafting Japanese site. So i ordered some from YesAsia: shipping is free with a minimun purchase, so it was just as easy and inexpensive as buying from a local bookstore.
As to the books they are loaded with the cutest stuff and directions that look easy to follow. I think they are inspiring: it´s my kind of stuff!

Felt Flower Kit from www.craftyasschick.com Posted by Picasa
Behold! Now, thanks to Craftyasschick i know how to make a needle felted flower brooch.
This one here is my first attemp: Pretty mean but, hey, it´s the first one, just give me a lil´ time!
Now, seriously, you should go and check Crafty ass chick site: she sells all kind of stuff+craft gear. This kit came so nicely packaged completed with a handy directions booklet + i got some promos from other crafters, which is always fun. So happy!

Turgalicia

Next, some pictures from the shooting of the video for Turgalicia. This is what i have been up to these past two weeks in the capacity of "fashion editor" + in charge of the wardrobe. It was so tiresome, waking up so early to catch the rising sun and staying until late to film the night-life scenes. It is a tough job really, working in the making of movies, except for the actors, who always arrive the last ones and leave the first! On the whole: better than working in an office, at list for me, but i´d rather be in my little workshop!
