I took Friday off, I wanted to do some collage (my new obsession) but in the end, with the cleaning, grocery and other boring tasks I also wanted to do before the weekend it did not leave me enough time to do proper collage... honestly, I saw so many amazing collage and mixed media artwork over the web this week that I’m shy on cutting or gluing something. Anyways, I was getting my confidence back when my boyfriend calls; and says he was on his way home, STARVING!!

Ok, so I stopped everything and I became Martha Stewart and made this little goodness bread that looks like muffins. The recipe is really easy, you need to try it:

2 cups of flour
2 the spoon of baking powder
2-3 the spoon of water
2 the spoon of oil
1 egg

For the ingredient inside, I always go with a “ clean the fridge session”.

This time is was:
slice of black & green olives
caramelized onions and mushrooms
blue cheese
garlic
cilantro
and the spicy pepper sauce that the Portuguese grand-mother of my lover made
pepper

Preheat you over to 400°F (200°C).
Whisk the flours, baking powder, egg, water and the oil together in a large bowl. Do the same, in a other bowl with the ingredients you want to ad in your muffins. Then slowly incorporate your flavours. If it feels too dry, add a little more water.


bake for 20 to 25 minutes until they are lightly golden and enjoy !

Another sign that Susan Miller was right:

Something else is happening this month that is extremely important and could change your view of your career forever. Uranus will enter your tenth house of career on March 11 to stay for seven years, until 2019.

Les Queues de Sardines

I'm more a skirt/dress girlthan a jeans girl, so I need a lot of tights...

I just discovers this french line; Les Queues de Sardines notable for their unconventional and unique graphic style. Add a pinch of narrative humor - the result is a choice of elegant and unusual models that will dress up your legs with an unusual stylish and elegant pattern. Screen-printed by hand in limited quantities, these rare and exclusive articles will never go unnoticed. I love it!!!


I found a couples of websites where we can buy them online, but its sooo expensive when I convert the euros in Canadian money +  the shipping but here's the link:

Up Factory
Suicidal Shop

I guess I'll wait to my next trip in New York to buy a pair at the Blue Tree boutique

PressPausePlay



This movie seem very interesting, its a film about hope, fear and digital culture. 
The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunites. But  does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay.

The movie premiere was last Friday at SXSW and so far, I don't know were  else is going to be pplay. I really hope I would get a chance to see it.

I was super happy to find out this morning about the vernissage in Montreal of the collective Team Macho!
I was a super fan of their illustrations and so far, I just saw their work one time, in Toronto. So this Saturday it’s with a immense pleasure that I will attend the opening of 3 out 5 ain’t bad at the Optica galerie (in the Belgo). 


The Toronto-based group uses all media (excepting digital), and its work crosses a multitude of boundaries in terms of conception and application. I love the way they are proposing in a humorous and dissident style illustrations, paintings and collages. I really, really wish I was in a group like that...
The vernissage start at 3pm and the exhibition will run till April 16 thIts a must see !!!
