DIY - Pompoms

A quick and easy way to bring some summer feeling into your home are these great pompoms. I stumbled across the tutorial on www.puppenzimmer.de and felt an instant itch in my finger tips. So the next day I ordered the silk paper on amazon and started folding. Its really easy and even if you don`t fold everything in a very exact and orderly fashion you will still get a great result. And as I could only order a 12-colour package, I will make several more in every colour of the rainbow. 

I am really not a hero on writing and documenting the process but on this website you will find a step-by-step tutorial for awesome pompoms! Sorry its in German but if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment (hahaha, nobody ever leaves comments). 

And if you lay beneath them they turn ever so slightly which is very calming. So its also a great idea to hang them over the bed of your kid (if you happen to have one).

This is our guest room by the way, and yes, our guests have all reported a deep and very restorative sleep so far.

Rineke Dijstra - The Krazy House

When we were in Frankfurt we went to the Museum for Modern Art and saw the exhibition of Rineke Dijkstra. She took videos and pictures of people growing up, dancing, discussing, trying... She mostly did this in a well known club in Liverpool called the Krazy House. She took pieces from the collection of the museum of which she thought match or contrast her own approach and put them next to her own work. We had a little guided tour and the woman told us about the process of setting up an exibition. Rineke Dijkstra for example requested very special rooms to show her movies. Not being able to fullfill all her wishes, they had to build some spaces within their spaces. So the visitors would walk into a room to find another room that has been put in there.
