Feminine inspiration




Today i am speechless... admiring

She was recently interviewed by "in the Make",
this is part of how they describe her work:

"Annie takes fragments of written correspondence - from handwritten letters to text messages - that she has found, received, or written, enlarges and reworks the text on large paper, and then meticulously goes about removing the negative spaces with an X-acto knife. Because of the precision involved, Annie changes her X-acto blade after every five or six cuts, so she can easily go through close to 500 blades just to finish one piece."

Incredible imagination, skill and patience.

Gourmandise...


warning! i wrote this post while really,
really hungry!

apparently food photography is one of the

their simplicity and the memories
trigger.

they remind me of home
& just don't taste the same here.

and of course my favorite chocolate!
