Madone...

Ah la la, l'art religieux n'est pas si ennuyeux que ça finalement! j'ai ce quadrimestre ci un cours sur la peinture des Pays-Bas du XVe siècle, et je dois dire que je suis moins hermétique à cette période que je le croyais...la preuve, on en retrouve des traces dans mes griffonages!

Ma première Madone...et sûrement pas la dernière ^^


Joyeuses Pâques en retard! Well, religious art is not as boring as I thought! I have this semester a class about painting of 15th century in Netherlands, and I'm finnaly less hermetic to this period that I use to believe. As you can see, there are even traces of it in my drawings!
I've done my first Madona, but certainly not the last one ^^
Happy easter!

Mad about terrariums!

Depuis quelques semaines ici, le printemps est arrivé avec du soleil, des petites feuilles vert tendre dans les arbres, la chaleur et les terrasses! Quel bon remède pour la bonne humeur...d'autant plus qu'ici à Bruxelles, il pleut énormément!


Et toute cette verdure de plus en plus présente me donne des envies de jardinage... Il est encore un peu trop tôt pour planter des herbes aromatiques sur ma terasse, mais oh bonheur, j'ai découvert sur Etsy une pure merveille: les terrariums! Je dois trouver comment en faire un, pour mettre un peu de verdure dans mon petit appartement....


Voici quelques coups de coeur pour des minis jardins enchantés...

Bon Mardi!

♥ ♥ ♥

Since a couple of weeks, spring has finnaly arrived! With sun, trees withe their pale green baby leaves, warm weather and terraces! What a good remedy for the mood...Espacially here in Brussels, where it almost always rains!

All this green gives me the envy to garden...I think it's a bit too early to plant some herbs on my balcony, but oh hapinness! I discovered moss terrariums on Etsy! I absolutely have to make one...

I've put above some of those loved little enchanted gardens found on Etsy and on the net...Go take a look on those two Etsy shop's! You'll find real treasures...

Happy Tuesday!
