Fears for joys?

My boyfriend loves Dario Argento films.

So we often watch the movies.

I like his movie's lightings, they are exactly like beautiful nightmares.

Dario's movies have always similar icons. Strange wispers and children's song..here are some images.

(the pictures are not all from the movie)

Light from windows

Gloves and shiny glittery knife are friends.

Room fragrance

I bought a stem of white lily.

There are three flower buds and two are blooming. They have really good smell, the living room filled with the fragrant.

Good bye mr. spider

spider - my item, the motif is inspired by the spider in my room

I'm doing spring cleaning in these days, when I have a time.

I always say hi to a spider lives in my bed room and I was always carefully to clean the room not to bother the spider, but it seems like he moved to other place after my big cleaning.

His spot is always empty in these few days.

I'm missing the spider, probably he should live outside to be able to get more foods.

Vancouver Down town,Valentine's Sunday

I went to down town today, it was super busy like Tokyo.

My Valentine's day treat was Ramen at Benkei ramen.

Ramen is getting popular like Sushi here, I guess more stores will be opened in few years.

Anyways, we walked down town for a while, there's very different than usual, it was like we came for a sightseeing.

2010 celemony

As everybody knows, the winter games in Vancouver was started yesterday.

Even I'm not a person of getting involved to watch those things, the ceremony was really interesting, impressed.

It was peaceful, I think the show was really reflected for this age(era, should I say?).

Anyways, good luck for team Canada, also Japan!

Right side, dark side of digital world

Using Internet is really fun and handy.

Sometimes it loses appreciation of designing or making arts and crafts.

According to Hidden Eloise's blog, she is one of my favorite artist, sadly, seems her character was "plagiarised"and sold without asking her.

I was shocked to hear about it.

My English isn't good enough to write my thought but please take a look at the story on her blog.

Bjørn Wiinblad

When I went to Denmark, first time I saw his painting at a hotel room.I was inspired and starting to look for his work at flea market and stores and I found this ceramic wall decor.I think this item is popular and can find easily but still I like the detail, most I like is his signature on behind the dish.

According to wikipedia,

Bjørn Wiinblad's Danish painter, designerand artist in ceramics, silver, bronze, textiles, and graphics. His work has been shown widely inEurope, in the United States of America first in 1954 and in Japan, Australia andCanada in 1968.

His paintings are interesting,the motif of ccharacters are round-faced people, dressed in 19th-century costume.They look like 60's modern and still it has classical inspirations.

I want to try..

When I heard Maison Martin Margiela released their first perfume, was little excited.
