UrbanJewelry

Dee, check out this Urban Jewellery” campaign, which integrates over sized pieces of jewelry into public, urban space. Stone roadblocks become cufflinks. Pendants are placed upon chain barriers to create “necklaces”. i think that it is appropriate to accessorize public space in the same manner we would accessorize ourselves. This work is by Liesbet Bussche in Amsterdam.

Re-Spring spring spring

Hello Rash,

I haven't written anything in a while, I have been so busy the past week but I promise will post soon. London weather is unpredictable as usual, we had a lovely Spring weather the last 3 weeks and now winter is back! Well, it is normal for us to keep talking and complaining about the weather, and I probably became very English in that way.
I love the Tree that you posted, is it new in Lebanon? Is it still flowering now?
Here are a couple of photos I took of the blossoming magnolia and cherry trees. I love London in Spring!  Unfortunately, the blossoms last for 3 weeks or so only and then gone.

By the way, notice the Gorilla in the garden ;)



Spring spring spring

Dee I have always been fascinated by those trees that bloom in spring. They are called tabebuia I think Amazing no? Guess where they are located :)

The pot hole gardener

Rasha,

Check this gardening blog http://thepotholegardener.com/ , it's so cute! Creating miniature gardens in the holes found on the streets, in the pavement, in the walls of the city, from London to India. I really like the idea, it raises awareness of the importance of having green spaces in the city, and lets the creativity flow!

Possibly something along the same line for Beirut? I heard about the Green Beirut Project http://beirutgreenproject.wordpress.com/ and I have been following what they do. I would love to be involved! Hmmmm will have to think how I can do it from London, any ideas?

Have something else to tell you about tomorrow and it involves shoes ;) , will keep it quiet until then !
