cOLOrès in the bosco - crazy crochet

Yesterday I picked up a knitting project I started and abandonned over a year ago.  Not happy where it was leading to I decided to change the final goal... not revealing anything yet, it will take a long time to get there.

Looking to make a post related to my current occupation I found these pictures taken during last summer (2011).

Rag Tree - a universal tradition

along the forest trail "le sentier des fers sauvages"  

remnants of red pigments on trees...

... and logs

Our timing is perfect ... the end of the day with a low sun creating interesting light/shadow effects.

More works by other artists in this gorgeous garden will be posted the next days.

Helina Rääk - painting, sewing, drawing

I am usually not too fond of pastels and flowers and other 'girly' things, but I really did like this work.

The mix of painting, drawing, stitching and 3D elements made these works quite interesting.

Nice details I'd love to explore a bit longer.

 

Estonian born Helina Rääk lives and works in Paris.  One of the artists in the 59 Rue Rivoli building.

Designer Zoo - pure Danish

Dzoo is a working design store in Copenhagen based on a community of 8 designers with their studios right next to the shop.  This is what makes this place so interesting.  Almost everything is made right here.

Furniture, jewelry, knitwear, glass, ceramics by Danish designers.

 

 

A great variety of colours is available for the 'homemade' tables.

Beautiful knitwear in great colours and lovely textures made right here.

Designer Catherine Kahrs at work in her studio behind the shop. 

A piece almost ready.

Worth while a visit when in Copenhagen.
