Le monde des blogs

Credit photo: Izakoo

Ca faisait longtemps que j'avais envie de présenter le blog Izakoo, qui est pour moi une véritable inspiration grâce a une photographie originale, une présentation intéressante et une sensibilite qui me touche. La véritable héroine du blog c'est la fille de l'auteure (jouant le jeu des séances photo ou pas) ou peut-être plutot l'enfance de sa fille. C'est le côté personel-mais-pas-trop que j'apprécie, montrer sans sans trop dévoiler, qui fait découvrir sans pour autant avoir l'impression de lire un journal intime. J'aime aussi (beaucoup, beaucoup) la dimension artistique des mises en scene, des "décors" et des "costumes" (les tenues de cette petit fille sont veritablement à tomber). J’éspère que vous aimerez autant que moi.

I have been meaning to for a long time to introduce the blog Izakoo, which is for me a real inspiration thanks to its original photography, interesting design and a sensitivity that touches me. The hero of the blog is the author's daughter (in the mood for pictures or not) or rather perhaps her daughter's childhood. It's personal but not too much, which is what I like, it is revealing yet modest, unlike reading a diary. I also like (very, very much) the artistic dimension of the settings, " decors" and "props" (this little girl's outfits are truly amazing). I hope you'll like it as much as I do.

Les rois de la réno

Cette semaine nous avons ressorti les bleus de travail, pinceaux et outils en tout genre. La maison ayant été surdécorée par ses anciens propriétaires, en mettant les murs et les sols à nu, nous découvrons enfin son vrai visage. Beaucoup de bobos à panser, la préparation des surfaces prend donc un temps fou et on n’a pas vraiment l’impression d’avancer.

Primary colours

This is Eliott's first exploration of colours. With a rainy bank holiday weekend ahead we thought it would be fun to introduce a different primary colour each day and let Eliott play with paint. We started with red, on Saturday. I applied some paint on Eliott's hand but he didn't like it, tried to eat some and then tried to run away. As a result, there was red paint everywhere in the kitchen, on Eliott's clothes and face but little of his own painting on the paper. Much of the prints are ours, trying to encourage him.
The day after, we used blue paint, gave him a brush and half a potato and showed him how to use them. This time, he seemed a bit more interested in the process but very quickly he tried to eat the brush and lick his fingers.
On Monday, we introduced yellow paint. I gave him a brush and he immediately dipped it in the paint and applied it on the paper, repeating the operation several times by himself. This is why I like the yellow painting so much.
