Before starting school! Upcycle is always a fun project for summer!

Here a project I did in my backyard  in july, Yep we are already august.

 I have that metal table and chairs in my backyard that I was to throw in garbage. With my little boy we decided to paint it we spray can and we use also my old stencils. Why not! It was fun we did it spontaneously really fast too! It actually made the little corner of backyards more joyful and colored for our short summer. Again, I could not help but see a design pattern on this new table! ;)








Some detail of my table!









Don't forget  to walk around your house you maybe have a little project waiting just for you! :)

Brief 2 with Make it in design!

Last Brief for summer 2017! The new challenge is to make a pattern with PALE GARDEN painting. I love the Idea especially on a sunny day. It is a perfect subject to paint in my backyard and then jump in the pool and paint again! 

Wow the perfect summer!

Our Facebook community @makeitindesign help us to stay focused during our challenge and we also make new friends! Some of them are surface design artist I know since a good 2 years. Nice yep!

Busy with Summer School with Make it in design!

Beside all my other busy activities! Again this year I am busy with Summer School with @Makeitindesign it helps me to stay focused on creativity and following up my collections during the year. This year I am focusing on my portfolio and new products! I really enjoy focusing on what I love to do. Inspiration is at Le Rendezvous and the passion is still in the air :)I still draw and paint by hand and then finishing up my work on photoshop or illustrator. 

I love the mixed of traditional with digital it is a good fit for me. and most of the time I try to work by Instinct to stay through to myself.

Brief 1 for advance class the theme was Mystical Tribes!
I was happy to receive a compliment on instagram about this work. The person was telling me it remind her a  decoration tribe in her country :)

Sunny summer!

I have been really busy during summer between painting the front of my house, recycling my backyard and working on a new design for my portfolio... well let's say I did love my summer. I just find it goes to fast!
But I always find time to discover new cultures or observe the new tendencies in Home decor and fashion. Lately I have been working on new collections, new textiles and new products. And I just love it!
