a translation of flowers lost

if any of you have seen lost in translation, there is a scene where scarlett johansson's character is decorating her park hyatt hotel room with sprigs of pink paper blossoms.

Lostintranslation

yep, there they are, right in the corner.

ann & dabney *love* the movie, and dabney has wanted to create some of those flowers since the moment she saw them. she has a vision for a large chandelier-type version, for over the dining room table, and has been slowly gathering the materials she needs to make one.


but this weekend, she started messing around with wire, paper, and some eyelets and came up with a different kind of flower sculpture. here's what the prototype looks like, hanging from some fishing line in the living room. they turned out fairly nice, even if they kinda got lost in dabney's translation.

f.y.i. after the charger debacle, superette is happy to welcome back the canon powershot s200.

I love that movie too, and thanks for listening to my podcast, BTW.

This gives me an idea...a podcast where I visit the places where the move was filmed.

nifty, I must make some artifical bonsai trees now in a pale imitation.
