Yes. Yes I do. How about you?
Have you ever been to a pottery painting studio? A while ago Mackenzie and I went to Bisque it! and we had such a fun time. This is how I painted the inside of a bowl:

Does it make your eyes hurt?
I love this lovely poster from Beatrice, a crafty blogger and the owner of the Canadian Etsy shop Chocolat & Cherries. Sometimes simplicity is really the way to go.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Has spring sprung yet? (Here neither.)
In the meantime, how about a sculptural tree to add some forever-winter branches to your home? Does that sound too blah? Would you rather see flowers and birds? (Will I ever stop asking questions?)
The Gondor tree (25″ x 22″), made in India and available at CB2, $80 on sale.
See? I have a bird too:

Each February, the gorgeous Gladstone Hotel in Toronto gets taken over by talented artists who transform twelve rooms with their innovative, creative, and jaw-dropping installations. The event, Come Up to My Room, began in 2003 and was co-founded by Pamila Matharu and Christina Zeidleris. I had a chance to see the installations in person this past weekend and I was impressed by the talent of the artists, designers, engineers, and architects at this year’s exhibition.
Among Bruno Billio and Sam Mogelonsky’s mirrored room with shiny spinning things, and Matthew Blunderfield and Skanda Lin’s hanging installation exploring the disposable nature of the digital world, there was plenty of whiteness to be seen.
Did anyone get to Come Up to My Room this year? What was your favourite exhibit?
