I've been moving to a new town in a new house with new flatmates to start a new course... and I'm feeling all that creepy new-ness around myself. I don't even have the time to stop and think about my guilt-feelings for being so nervous and irascible because of the stressing timetable and uncomfortable bathroom and bad weather.
However I'm fine.

Back in 2008, I produced a hand-printed bilingual limited edition of a poem by Charles Simic, The way it is. It was the first thing I ever printed...

It's a poem about a cuckoo, let's say.

Italian translation by Damiano Abeni. Illustration, printing and binding (and the double stitch concept!) by me.

These days I have been admiring this textile-photographic project by Uniform and Jenifer Altman. The shades and textures are so wonderful and I suggest taking a look at their shop - 20% of the profits will go to The Greater New Orleans Foundation's Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund. It's a good initiative.

The Fog Linen catalogue #9 is beautifully designed by Tuesday and full of inspiring photographs by Marisa Shimamoto.

And I loved to leaf through the well-known Around Fog Linen, a compilation of pictures and interviews to some of my favourite personalities. There are ceramist Rae Dunn, above-mentioned Marisa Shimamoto, textile designers Lotta Jansdotter and Lena Corwin, art director and stylist Maria Alexandra Vettese of Lines&Shapes (the independent publishing company founded with Lena Corwin), photographer Béatrice Peltre (La tartine gourmande), Ryan and Alissa Parker-Walker (Horne), Julie Baine (Pod), photographers Jennifer Causey and Jenny Hallengren, Sally Yang and Christopher Hope (Design Within Reach), french stylist Elodie Rambaud.

Bruno Munari has been of great inspiration during the last 4 years. Not only his didactic writing, but his sculptures and tactile books as well.

For those interested in children books and illustration, I suggest taking a look at Harriet Russell's website too. She worked together with Edizioni Corraini for the publication of this playful book about numbers. Both come from Ara Pacis in Rome.

Me and Paolo are not strictly observing our sport schedule, and even if we went walking twice last week, the horrible weather and his mother made our efforts vain with rain, wind, and nutrient local Easter meals.

We went to a diy shop called BricoIo (like iBrico or iDoitmyself in English, and I believe it sounds as much silly) where I found some exotic products like fluo pink textile ink, puffy cotton, and a papercutting self-sealing pad.

I'm in love with Japan, from cooking to furniture and interior design, from the latest fashion design to traditional crafts, textiles and art. A journey to Japan is one of my most frequent daydreams, I hope some day realizing...

Learning Japanese would be very interesting indeed, the script itself has a sort of illustrative charm. I'd like to read my favourite japanese writer's books in the original language. I've been reading her novels since Kitchen, which my mother gave me as my first adult book... I enjoyed it a lot and re-read it two more times growing up. That book definitely endeared me to Banana Yoshimoto and I'm still reading her stories.

I've been longing for the Book of masking tape (Masking tape no hon) for a while. It has the usual japanese care for graphic details, colours and size. It contains a series of pictures of masking tape used in different ways, a brief history, mentions of japanese artists, a list of japanese brands and shops carrying them, and a useful colour chart at the end of the book.

I had my exam last week and these days I'm working on some new jewelry pieces. I also began again some sport with my friend Paolo: we decided for the hundredth time we must have a pair of slim sculpted bodies before summer.

This is a pair of earrings I made a few days ago, I will keep them for myself, I love that colour... but I might repeat this design for the shop too. Anyway, pebble studs are a good chance to recycle scrap silver :)

paper yarn

I recently received this trio of paper yarns from kind and talented Linda aka PaperPhine. The natural coloured rolls (about 8cm tall) are the finest paper string I've ever seen... The white one is a bit thicker but still very fine compared to common decorative paper cord.

To know more about Remedy I suggest having a look at their site, and this article by Design*Sponge is worth a read. They do have a twitter and a facebook page too, and Kelly has a fabulous food blog called eatmakeread.

first off

2010-01-16T11:59:00.005+01:00

Ok, that's my blog. That's my first blog and I'm nearly quarter-of-a-century old! In very truth I tried to write a blog when I was a teenager but I gave up the day after, so firstly I promise to myself I will be more constant this time. And what's more, I will be writing in English. The most annoying thing about writing in English is that capital I, it appears everywhere... it already appeared 8 times since I -9- started writing. It's kind of funny, we use that pronoun seldom if ever here. At school we're told by our English teachers we cannot omit the I in any case: one could believe English people are centred on themselves because of that continual use of I, but I can't say if that is true. In summary please, unknown reader, forgive me the errors and be indulgent if sometimes miss the I.
