Is it strange that I still love balloons altough I’m not six year old? I hope the answer is no ;)
While visiting The FAD Pop-Up Shop, I fell head over heals with the most amazing ceramic balloons by Sivan Sternbach. Sivan shared with me that it all began as a gesture to Eran Shakine’s bronze balloon that she owns. Since then and many balloons later, Sivan uses different kinds of clays and has fun sculpting away balloons in all shapes and forms.

BTW, speaking of balloons- Geronimo Balloons. Press. Now. Thank me later.

For some reason, DesignBreak became a little bit more artsy this week…
As I mentioned, yesterday I visited the pop-up shop FAD and boy I was blown away by the mad talent!
One of the ceramists that made me smile from ear to ear was Yulia Tsukerman and her Vanitas world. It’s been a while since I was moved by a ceramic creation and I’ve been looking for “the next big thing” in the ceramic world. I know I’m using big words but I feel like there is a lot more where this mysterious beauty came from.
FYI, “Vanitas” is the Latin word stands for “Emptiness”.

I can’t take this weather any more! It’s SO cold and dark that I can’t even hear myself think. Well, it’s not NY by any means but for Israel it’s damn cold.
And when it’s cold all that is left to do is think about a sunny day at the beach. I have a feeling that’s why I found myself wandering into Anastasia Egórova‘s L’Accent Nou natural haven. There is something quite calming and comforting about the fact that all Anastasia’s creations come from the beautiful Mallorca island in Spain. BTW, the fact that Anastasia followed her heart and left Russia for her man is extra beautiful…
