There is a quote in one of the compartments in my head since my art history class days back at varsity that I recalled today. "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see".- Edgar Degas
Today I saw colours. I woke up just as the sun was rising, very unbelievable, yet true. Walked into the kitchen in my half dazed state to turn my friend the kettle on and get my other friend coffee into me very quickly, and while I was slumped over the kitchen counter attempting to not fall asleep my eyes caught the view outside. Its not yet summer, we are reminded of that in the evenings here in Cape Town. But it is getting lighter earlier these days and I caught the beautiful pink hue's of morning light sweeping across the neighbourhood. I grabbed my camera and attempted a pic, or two, but my camera also acts as my phone more than it does my camera, because my real camera was sleeping due to flat batteries(and the cold!)
It seemed as if colour followed me the whole day though as my fellow design friend (i shall refer to him as the-guru) introduced me to a wonderful blog that he follows. And THIS...was my day's inspiration. www.kristinaklarin.blogspot.com

To see colour is to smile for me. To see many different colours placed with each other in such an aesthetically pleasing manner actually makes me show teeth when I smile! I have been too excited about this new blog to have much of a chance to do my research about who she is, what she does and 'get to know her' but I do know that very soon when there is more than a spare moment in the day, I will be drowning myself in this website and catching up on all her previous bloggings. Kristina's use of photography - and colour, makes me see many things and is one very inspirational 'look-see' into her world of colour. ps-she makes all those necklaces too!
(...Kristina if you happen to read this, please update your about page-or mail me back :) I would love to know where in the world you are with all these beautiful inspiring settings)x
