HAPPY FRIDAY #54

Happy friday my little cats!

I hope you are well and yes, another week has gone by! What a madness! I've got some little surprises for you over the next few days... Do it Yourself sewing for tomorrow, another surprise for Sunday and a themed week coming up next Monday! It fills me with enormous satisfaction to be able to complete projects that I've been wanting to see come to fruition for a long time. 

The sewing pattern project is also making good progress. I'm brainstorming about costs, packaging, explanations... It's a very, very exciting new appointment. I'm talking, talking, talking and I'm forgetting the most important thing: this week's happy friday!

A few months ago now, I was contacted by Laurence and Fabrice, the two protagonists of "L'instant Parisien. So it was on Tuesday that we met under a rather gloomy sky in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. Between two steaming teas, we made cinemagraphs together, on the abandoned rails of the Buttes Chaumont, a great moment a little out of time.

 But what's the difference between cinemagraphs and gifs, you might ask? Well, cinemagraphs are little film loops exported as gifs. The result is that only the movement is continuous and fluid, while the entire scenery remains as still as an image. Last week, a reader remarked in the comments that my gifs reminded her of the Harry Potter cartoon diaries. Well, cinemagraphs are exactly that. It's clearly the Rolls Royce of gifs, the No. 5 in moving images. And it's the specialty of the L'instant Parisien website! But when Fabrice told me that sometimes it takes him 4 or even 5 hours to make a cinemagraph, I can't hide the fact that it made me a little nervous. I'm trying to make my own, but exporting these files to Photoshop is always a bit tricky, as Fabrice told me... To be continued! You can find these animated gems at here! 

I'm wearing a dress Antipodiuma perfecto Asosan earring Reine Rosalie. A handbag Le Tanneur. And I'm sticking to my guns with pumps Sézane TopShop socks. 

Thank you Fabrice and Laurence for this little making of!
