The Pouf-Modes Series: Madame Perruque

In a very fin de siècle air, the series Pouf-Modes are coming out this month. “Perruque” stands for wig in French, and Madame P just came out from the hairdresser.

I like to think she spent several hours at the Perruquier, where she awaited patiently for her do to be twirled and pouffed up. She chose some horns of plenty, pumpkins and some fall fascinators, as she longs for autumn leaves already.

Madame also asked for a delicate and almost nude palette for her eyes and cheeks, and a touch of drama for her painted black lips. She embraces her eccentricity which she, honestly, finds quite liberating.

More stories yet to come!

Madame is available as a print in my Etsy shop. You can see here how it looks :)

Studio mini-shots

Dear all, Here you are. Some studio bits and characters that surround me every time I climb to, what I called, my studio tower: A beautiful set of pink and utterly artificial gardenias (?), a mini-pouf in two parts made in the UK, La Grande Citrouille created during Halloween 2011, Tomas the ever present cat, Les Mots de la Mode or my personal bible and an inattentive desk lamp.Sympa.

Fabulous Flora

Last Sunday, I discovered my local farmer's market. Apart from bumping into several foodies and treats, I got my hands into these ladies:

Uñita de señorita or Lady's little nail. This is an absolute beauty and I've never seen her before. A perfect all-in-one cactus and flower.

Azalea. They grow everywhere and survive even if they are not watered often.

Lavender. Planning to grow a whole garden.

A luscious bright red flowery limbs.

Coquette-rie Revamped

Dear all,

Just recently, my client requested a revision for Coquette-rie, a pouf created on August last year for him. He basically wanted me to colour it. It just took me a couple of hours to plunge this Fabulous Poufs into a multicolour bath and I thought I'd share the results. 

I have chosen to display this Pouf upside down here, for a little twist on the accustomed layout. Flowers and bugs appeared just magically.

I think the results are positive... this is a living garden Pouf!

Just on time for Spring, how ideal. 

Enjoy!
