takes my breath away

it really does.

i'm in love with this gilet.

just how breathtaking is that embroidery.

it seems to be worked similar to goldwork,

but i'm quite sure that these threads are not coiled

as usually in goldwork.

anyways, it's beautiful, and i love that

the embroidery is the same color

as the woolen base...

it is just a beautiful relief worked in textile.

(it was also tagged paul smith,

but i have no idea whatsoever

whether this could be a paul smith or not.)

i like the idea

i like the idea of hiding your

thermostat, switches, sockets and doorbell

in this nice a way.

hand-bound beauty

i'm totally into bookbinding

ever since i bound my thesis this may,

and i have a piece in mind

that is not very dissimilar to the one above.

an oversized book created by roandco studio for monique péan.

found through karyn armour's pinterest.

in remembrance

i post this beautiful image in remembrance of

one of my uncles, peter,

who was a renowned mountainclimber

and who died this day eleven years ago

after climbing disteghil sar (7885 m)

in the karakorum (pakistan).

i wonder what he's doing now...

easy pieces

i love linen... i really want to make my own version of

an easy linen blazer.

i also like the little bouclé vest with biker jacket front.
