I discovered not so long ago the work of Brasilian artist Analu Prestes and just fell in love with.
She paints and also works with paper. Transforming paper into a dentelle [lace]… It’s just amazing !
I encourage you to go and visit her site or follow up her work.
Still Art but this time locally, there will be the NZ Affordable Art Show this week-end -31 July/2 August- in Wellington.
A good occasion I’ll not miss, to discover and be inspired by NZ artists !
I’m going to see This Way of Life, this afternoon !
I missed yesterday an other movie I really wanted to see. The weather was some what apocalyptic and there was no way I put my nose outside…
Instead, I baked.
Something to cheer me up and put a smile on Paprika’s face when he’ll be back home.
Something comforting.
Something with chocolate and hazelnuts…
What a contrast: Outside, the wind was blowing and the rain lashing the window, while inside, the air was warm and imbued with a nice scent of chocolate.
I tried last year this recipe for the first time and kept on making it since.
This time, I baked a version with hazelnut that I ground myself.
These hazelnuts are produced locally in Marlborough and just taste really good !
I like the way how the nuts build a crunchy crust on the top of the cake and a soft texture inside…
I have to go now or I’ll miss again my movie !
I was walking back home when I saw this pink flower on the ground.
My neighbours must think I’m a weird girl, collecting leaves, apples and now flower in the street… But never mind…
I brought it home just for the pleasure of having a little touch of colour for a couple of hours until it withers away.
And of course I did not resist to take some pictures of it…
Have a nice week-end / Bon week-end !
