Day 333 - By design

333 is an odd number. Literally. And it's impressively close to the impending 365, the name and aim of this blog. What do I have to offer to anyone bothering to read this? Very little, as predicted. Recently back from kitchen duty and smelling seriously like fried stuff, before I do some work, I thought I'd kill this post early in the day. I could talk about the enormous amount of yeast-based dough, the cabbage, potato and mushroom and rice fillings, the seemingly endless orders of piroshki and soup, snatches of conversation - but it's not that exciting; you have to be there. Instead, I decided to go with random yet again. Hey, it's an authentic part of life - mine, at least.

Today's photos are examples of objects I've chosen for their design. The first object is Moroccan, the second is - I'm not sure - and the last one I was given by an Iranian (then Persian) acquaintance (on account of my father spending his youth in (then) Persia during the time of the Shah.)

Day 152 - Gomez

The tshirt was bought at the Byron Bay Blues Festival 2007. Gomez is a folk- and blues-inspired Band. I think I've stumbled across a whole new range of photo possibilities. Together with - let's see.... hairstyles, odd pen lids, toilet paper designs....

Day 80 - Design for archway

Today my husband and I were able to see the drawing on what will eventually be a carved archway in the Russian style. Not sure which period, but I suppose it's a folk design. I can't wait for this; it was supposed to be my birthday present a year ago.
