I snapped this photo as my husband and I were strolling along Champs Elysees one evening in Paris on our vacation in September.
I doff my hat to the designer of this window, one of the most original I have seen. I'm about to embark on a very large Pasadena garden design project, and I hope to incorporate the spirit of this window design into the garden design. I doubt I'll be able to include a giant, moss covered naked woman into the garden, but maybe a boulder or two :o)
I didn't even see the giant, moss covered naked woman before you pointed it out! I must say that is pretty creative and impressive. Good luck on your project! Sounds exciting :)
The window is beautiful in my favorite city! How romantic for you and your husband!! I can smell and taste the crepes now..yum! Best wishes for a very successful garden project. I can't wait to read about it!
Lina: The window was breathtaking. The photo does not do it justice. When I first saw the window, I thought the woman was just a pile of boulders, but then I saw the face.
Cathy: For some reason we always wind up in Paris, either at the start of vacation or at the end. This trip we spent 2 days there at the beginning and 2 days at the end (which I spent in bed at the hotel with the flu:o( and we spent the rest of the time in the Dordogne region touring Medieval villages. Wonderful!
I looked at the photo before I read your blog and was surprised to see the moss woman! Very cool and what a nice vacation you must have had!
Wow! Great use of green and red complementaries, and the unexpected moss-covered stone becoming a woman after a closer look - very creative. I especially like the texture and softness of moss and leaves, makes the whole scene cozy and welcoming (no wonder the stone woman is taking a nap ;D)
Looking forward to see the pictures of the finished garden project. Good luck!
Ana: Bien Sur!
KK: Vacation was lovely except for the flu at the end (at least it was French flu!)
Bozena: I would have loved to have taken a nap there. It was like a fairytale forest. Enchanting!
Very intriguing window design Michelle! I have NO DOUBT that your upcoming garden project will be equally stunning, as all of your work always is. Can't wait to see YOUR pictures.
Funny I didn't notice the lady either. Paris is beautiful this time of year, have fun, and take it all in!
Michelle, Paris was full of art and design...in EVERYTHING! I loved the window and it's wonderful where we find inspiration isn't it?
Debra: Thanks, we are getting closer and closer to starting.
Cindy: We had fantastic weather while we were there. Didn't even need a sweater.
Carole: I am always so inspired in Paris and France, in general. And don't get me started about the food!
