Website of the week: www.thebluelantern.blogspot.com
SUBTITLED ARTS journalism for the love of it, this devastatingly beautiful blog covers a wide range of topics and mediums, from known artists such as Marc Chagall, to unknown discoveries (well, unknown to us), such as Kathleen Dustin, who makes exquisite handbags in the shapes of seed pods from a special type of coloured polymer clay.
The site is named for the blue-shaded lamp that French author Colette used as a guiding light for her imaginary journeys, after she became too frail to leave home. "Her invitation, extended to all, was 'Regarde!' Look, see, wonder, accept, live." It is written by Jane Librizzi, an American broadcaster blessed with great intelligence and an eye for the rare and marvellous.
