iPhone Felt Case

After shopping at Marche Saint Pierre in my ex-neighborhood Montmartre, I made an iPhone case for my phone. This is my first French creation, made from felt and lace.

Discovery - Upcycling shop

Yesterday, I found a very interesting place in Paris! It is called "La Réserve des arts" and basically it's a place where you can find supplies (at a low/very low price). 
They buy end of stocks, scrap materials, old stocks from factories or not used materials and resell them, offering them a second life. These "scraps" are repurposed by them into supplies. I like them due to their upcycling activity, I am a big fan of Upcycling! :)
Only art professionals can buy from them: artists, art or architecture students etc. In order to buy, you must become a member, in exchange of a fee (5-50 Eur).
So I became a member, and I found some very interesting leather scraps or whole pieces, and not only that! :D
That means that a new project will happen soon! 


Photos will arrive soon...

Today is HOLIDAY!!!

I have successfully finished my French classes! Now the summer is waiting for me! Yesterday I found some Mircea Eliade and Mircea Cărtărescu books (French edition) at FNAC. I bought all of them! :)

I am planning to make a yearly subscription at the Musée du Louvre, Musée d'Orsay and Centre Pompidou (Atelier Brâncuși) so I will be able to visit them very slooow...

I will also restart to create! So, wish me good luck! :)

My first Squash session

Yesteday i had my first Squash session. Very interesting game! They say you can loose up to 1200 calories per hour! Indeed it is very exhausting, and now I have some muscular fever, although I had 3 Gym sessions last week...

Moving to Paris

Dear friends, I want to make an official announcement: in less than two weeks I will say goodbye to Bucharest, to my friends and my family, to my job and my coleagues...

But I will say "Bonjour!" to Paris, to my boyfriend, to La Sorbonne - where I will be studying, to a completely new way of life which I think it will be really inspiring for me, due to the wonderful city I am going to meet! :)

Soon, I will come back with news, and why not with a Paris-inspired collection of fresh handcrafted goodies!
