Genius. 

Joe Ryskebosch- Nature Path

I like this up and coming artist. His name is Joe Ryskebosch
His 'Nature Path' series is very intriguing. Very beautiful, i love the color.
Joe seems to be based in Portland, Oregon.
He uses found materials with original nature and wildlife photographs. I would love to own a couple of these!

Brione House / Wespi de Meuron

Thanks to Arch Daily I was able to enjoy a piece of beauty! My boyfriend says that he will build me a pool like the one below one day... 
The door from the house opens straight into the pool~~~ 
I like the idea of playing with light in design- creating the art as you build. I like this house.
Location: Brione sopra Minusio, TI, Switzerland















~25 things people may not know about me~

I SAW ON MY FRIENDS NOTES TODAY THAT SHE HAD BEEN ASKED TO WRITE 25 THINGS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT HER... SHE ASKED ME TO DO THE SAME... I'LL GIVE IT A WHIRL~
1. I cry a lot, from the beauty of things... Any glint of someone sharing any kind of emotion gets me. I even cry watching Worksafe ads... But witnessing passion, and love, are two that especially make the tears drip of my chin... people are so beautiful.


2. I used to be in a special maths class- but it was not special as in needing help- i was taken out of Primary school to attend an elite maths school- short lived... THANK GOD!


3. 3 Is how many times I kiss my family on the cheek when we say hello and good bye.. I will never kiss a person only twice, it's three times for good luck. Thank you Nan!


4. I can do the Moonwalk.


5. I am scared of most things- not as bad as when I was a kiddy, I just push through it now- but I still fear a lot. I used to compulsively check three times under my bed, in all of my cupboards, behind the door, in between the crack of my bed and the wall... all possible places 3 times every night. Then I would barricade myself with my five bestest teddys- i strategically placed them around my heart and my ovaries... I didn't move much when sleeping as a kid.


6. I believe in re-incarnation. And I would love to have some regression therapy...


7. I have lived in 14 houses.


8. I used to have bugsy teeth- I could fit TWO $2 coins between my two front teeth and I had a 10mm overbite...!


9. I play the Viola. I used to play the violin- I started when I was 4...


10. I have a Nintendo DS and I LOVE playing it! 


11. I still have dreams of being an actress even though every week on Joke day at work- when I have to 'perform' my joke of the week- my heart stops and I have to read from the bit of paper.. It feels like everyone can actually see the burning sensation in my chest- i hope they can't...


12. My doggy named Frog is a bundle of joy that blesses my life every single day.


13. I listen to Techno when I do my banking.


14. I think children are the most perfect of all! They are an inspiration to who we should remember to be, and who we are- pure.


15. My wardrobe is worth more then... and it's not at all the price that is important to me... i just love beautiful things- and have a friend that is very good at justifying anything i like and its absurd price tag... bargains excite me just as much though.


16. My colleagues at work are like family to me. I miss them dearly whenever we have breaks... i love them all very much.


17. My mum is a Dance Movement Therapist/Reike Master/Hippie and my Father is a Scientist... opposites attract? They are divorced...


18. I want to eat my dog,


19. I have a 7-ft 6 Malibu and would love to be able to really surf on it... and do a headstand, eventually.


20. I think that meditation should be compulsory in hospitals for all recovering patients. And that all the walls should be repainted something brighter!! 


21. I have made 6 short films of my own... and many many more are on their way. I want to moooooove people. In ALL directions ; )


22. I think everything happens for a reason.


23. I do breathing exercises and write 21-pieces of gratitude every single morning to start my day.


24. My sister is my soul mate.


25. I am overly indulgent in every area of my life. And I think that's a good thing.


I reflect that I have not mentioned my love Raphael- kindest man ever made. Then I realised why- this is all the things that people might not know about me... xxx
