If you like experimental folk like I do, you will absolutely adore Nefeli Liouta's first album! Some songs, in particular, sent shivers down my spine... This is where you can dowload her album.

Empty Frame Collection Preview
Inspired by Empty Frame, the band, but also because I wanted to experiment, I decided to create a new collection of designs that incorporate real dollhouse frames. I am thinking of expanding the designs to include more styles of frames, but I definitely want some feedback here...
What intrigued me about these in the first place has to do with the possibilities of the frame in itself as an element, instead of the frame showing something else. Interior design has been using empty frames for years, as a decorative element or with some practical aspect as well. When I found some real dollhouse frames, I knew what I wanted to make... And, by the way, I think these designs blend so well with the current fashion trends! Long and substantial, these are statement and conversation pieces, without being too loaded. Perfect!
But really, this post is asking for your feedback... I mean, I made those necklaces, they are my babies, of course I love them... But what do you think? Would you buy them? Or something similar? Let me know!

Make Music (Faites de la Musique)
June 21 marks the official beginning of summer. Which is reason for literature, music and the arts to celebrate! So a few days ago I was lucky to listen to Empty Frame, one of my favorite Greek bands. Their sound was better live than on their MySpace page, but you can also order or download their CD and fully enjoy their music.
The following song is an original by Sophia Vembo, coming from 1939...

And this is how Empty Frame played and sang it in English in 2011, 72 years later...
You can read Empty frame interviews in Elliniki Skini, Avgi and ToVima. Hopefully they will soon start to give interviews in English too...
