No me digáis que estos cerditos con alas no os arrancan una sonrisa (aunque cuando he visto el precio la mía se me ha borrado de un plumazo, o mejor dicho, de un aleteo porcino.) [] Loving these pigs with wings (not their price though!)
De mi escapada a Berlín me traje un montón de cosas, en su mayoría intangibles y pegadas a mi retina. Pero mi maleta vino también cargada de otras cosas más palpables. Estoy especialmente enamorada de este juego de café alemán de los años 40. ¡¡Mañana prometo fotos del viaje, conmigo incluida!! [] From my recent short break to Berlin I brought back home a lot of things, most of them intangible. But my luggage came filled with some beautiful vintage pieces and among them I’m specially in love with this german midcentury coffee set from the 40s. Tomorrow some photos of Berlin!
La expresión anglosajona de «hacer una tormenta en una taza de té» (making a storm in a tea cup), viene a ser nuestro equivalente de «ahogarse en un vaso de agua». El equipo formado por el artista Martin Smith y el ingeniero Nick Regan, ambos ingleses, crea a través de su empresa Laikingland, objetos o juguetes preciosistas y delicados que se sirven de la energía cinética para sorprendernos. Daría lo que fuera por una de estas tazas-tormenta hechas en porcelana fina de Delft pintadas a mano una a una… ¡¡pero no las 660 libras esterlinas -aprox. 742€- que cuestan!!
«Making a storm in a tea cup» is the idiom that inspired english artist Martin Smith and engineer Nick Regan to create, via their company Laikingland this gorgeous cup of fine Royal Delft porcelain… with a storm in it!. I adore the design, the kinetics and the idea, though I don’t like the price at all: 660 sterling pounds, about 742€!!. By the way, in spanish, we use a different idiom to express the same: to drown in a glass of water. Let’s hope that glass is less expensive…;)
