Shanghai

Time to go back home.

Shanghai I

This is the view from my room here in Shanghai:


This is the interior of the Jing Mao Tower. Is like a honeycomb.

Ana sent me lots of teas. I opened one teabag today and I found this proverb written on it. It's funny because I'm flying to Shanghai tomorrow. I'll be off 15 days but I will try to post if I can. I'm nervous. I've never been in China, it'll be an adventure!



Last week I found the perfect recipe for chocolate and cranberries cookies.





And after having the cookies I went to Estampa 2007: The international print and contemporary art edition. I was a little bit disapointed but I discover how much I love engravings.
There were a lot of screenprintings but most artists don't do it themselves. They use big machines and the finished art is so perfect that I feel it has no charm. To get this level of perfection I prefer printing. love to see little imperfections in the screenprintings made at home or at the artist's studios.
But I found a female artist (I cant remember the name!!) that makes glass-fiber sculptures.They are very original and they are even better in person!! You wish you could hug them!

A day

I made orange brioches for breakfast.


Working in a new show.



Thanks Camilla for the link: Fische und schiffe. Wonderful!!
If you liked Persépolis by Marjane Satrapi (I love it!), now you can see the film.

The wise pig

Pigs are underestimated.

A beautiful weekend full of good things: apple pie (Thanks Amy for the recipe), good food (with a new bol), time to sew (with amazing fabrics) and the sun outside!

Sunny

Sunny breakfast at the balcony! That's life!
Ana show us the Six thinking hats.
Thanks Amy for the Sheet cheat recipe!
By the way...I'm still waiting for Amy's book...snail mail...I have been waiting for the book since the end of august, the postman must be a snail this time.
