W gościnie w Decuberry-Shaby Chic Studio

To było przemiłe spotkanie w niedzielne popołudnie w pięknej pracowni
Decuberry-Shaby Chic.
Z pomocą i wskazówkami Jagody stworzyłyśmy unikalne mydełka i kamienie ozdobione techniką decoupage.
Całe spotkanie pełne śmiechu i żartow z pyszną herbatą (dla kawoszy - kawą) i smakołykami pozwoliło mi kompletnie zatracić sie w magicznym świecie do którego zaprosiła nas Jagoda.
Dziękuję za zaproszenie i zapraszam na kolejne

Rhymes From Home by Robin Mitchell Photography

Thank you everyone who took part in our evening of song and poetry from around the world! It was a truly inspiring gathering of likeminded people who share a passion for music and art. Here are some photographs of the event by Robin Mitchell.

The green room where our musicians' rehearsal turned into a feast of delicious food, laughter and collective singing.


Anna and Marzanna (in purple) made sure that the event ran smoothly.

Then we moved next door to the magnificent Sharmanka for the real show!

Casting a spell on the audience...


We started with some music by our lovely musicians:
Stepan Zatkulak, Wilf James, Jill Leavey, Sadie Whitecoat and Miro Cuba


We've had eight wonderfully unique performances in eight languages. All of them will be available to listen to on our recording which will be published very soon.



Jill Leavey sang "The Slave's Lament"



E karika Djal performed a Roma song "Shukar Shukar"



Juana Adcock read Spanish and English poems from her new book "Manca".

 

Mary Forbes performed a Nigerian lullaby "Aye Adba"

Gerry Loose read poetry from his new book "Fault Line"

 

Ali Tupa sang in Farsi

Sigita Morkūnaitė, Rūta Kukulskytė and Kristina Žalytė 
performed a traditional Lithuanian song "Ant kalno jovaras stovejo".

Then there was more music and a song workshop in different languages led by Marzanna...

Someone said that this photo "looks like the devil is speaking to the mic"...
Well captured, Robin.

That is some tattoo!
