je vous montre de belles photos sur l’Afrique du Sud… Mais il faut aussi savoir
poser les pieds sur terre de temps en temps.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/07/50/401767/27450066.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;150&quot; height=&quot;113&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;barbedwire2&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/07/50/401767/27450066_p.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;En Afrique du Sud, vous
devez peut-être le savoir, le taux de criminalité est élevé (dernier chiffres
hier, en gros, cela n&apos;a pas bougé). Meurtres, viols, car-jackings (on vous pique votre voiture), cambriolages, ...
la liste est longue et les sud af (toutes couleurs confondues) ont pour
(seule?) solution de se barricader derrière des murs, barbelés, clôtures
électrifiées, &lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/95/44/401767/27450168.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;150&quot; height=&quot;113&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;electricfence&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/95/44/401767/27450168_p.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px; float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;alarmes, barreaux aux fenêtres, grilles à chaque porte fenêtres,
et même à l’intérieur des maisons… tout est bon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/08/36/401767/27450329.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;armed_response&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/08/36/401767/27450329_p.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Bien évidemment, les maisons
souscrivent toutes à des services de sécurité (armés biensûr) qui patrouillent
et arrivent à la moindre alerte. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Beaucoup (comme nous) ont choisi de vivre dans
des résidences gardées.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt; Avantage important, on n’est plus obligés d’avoir des
grilles et barreaux partout, et on peut mener une vie normale ( ?) à
l’intérieur de la résidence, c&apos;est-à-dire marcher dans la rue, promener son
chien, faire du vélo… ou même tout simplement pouvoir prendre un verre et
manger le soir dans son jardin sans avoir peur que des individus surgissent et
vous braquent (ou vous tuent, cela arrive souvent aussi).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;C’est tout un système
d’habitudes à prendre. Ne pas s’arrêter aux feux rouges la nuit, toujours
laisser son sac à main sous le siège en roulant, vérifier qu’on est pas suivis,
ne jamais s’arrêter ni pour demander son chemin, ni pour aucune raison que ce
soit (imaginez le problème quand Lino, trois ans, vous annonce « maman,
pipi » et que vous êtes en voiture…) &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;On fait ses courses dans
les centres commerciaux, où les magasins sont regroupés, et on évite de rouler
de nuit. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Cela donne
des rues désertes de passants, même en pleine journée, et quand on voit un blanc
marcher on s’étonne… &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Ceci, heureusement n’est
pas vrai pour toute l’Afrique du Sud, seulement pour Pretoria et Johannesburg (et Durban apparemment).
Dans les autres provinces, les gens semblent mener une vie plus semblables à
celle qu’on connait en France, même si il y a quand même des barreaux , grilles,
alarmes et barbelés, les gens marchent en ville et les magasins ne sont
pas forcément regroupés derrière la protection des centres commerciaux. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;C’est une drôle de vie, et
je pense que nous ne pouvons le supporter que parce que nous habitons dans une
des résidences les plus sécurisées, et aussi que nous savons que cette expatriation
aura une fin.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Maintenant que je vous ai planté le décor, je peux
vous montrer des photos de là où j&apos;habite, vous serez mieux à même d&apos;apprécier le côté (faussement) paradisiaque.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;courier new, courier, mono&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr width=&quot;100%&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;I’ve been showing you beautiful photos on&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;South Africa&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;for weeks, but one has
to step into reality once in a while.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;In&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;South Africa&amp;nbsp; &lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;,
you may already know that the crime rate is very high (the lats figures were
given yesterday, and it hasn’t evolved).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt; &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Murders, rapes,
carjackings, robberies… &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;The list is long and South Africans (black and whites
all alike) have found a solution (the only one ?) : they live behind
walls, barbed wire, electric fence, with alarms, bars at the windows, trellis
doors outside and even inside. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Of course, people all subscribe to security companies (armed, it goes without saying), who patrol day and night and come at the first hint of
trouble.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Many people (like us) have chosen to live in a security complex. The
main advantage is that we don’t have to have bars and trellis doors, and we can
live a normal (?) life inside the estate, ie. People can stroll along the
streets, walk their dog, or cycle… or they can even merely have a drink and eat
at night in their garden without fearing thugs to appear and mug or kill them,
as it often happens.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;It&apos;s a whole new system of habits. Never stop at traffic lights at night, always
leave your handbag out of sight under the seat, always check you are not
followed, never stop to ask your way or for any other reason ( imagine the
problem when Lino, 3, suddenly says “Mum, I need to wee” and you are driving).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;You only shop in shopping centres, where all the shops gather for more
security, and you avoid driving at night. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;It results in empty streets even during the day, and when you see a
white passerby you stare at him !!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Fortunately, this is not true for the whole of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;South Africa&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;, but only for &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Pretoria &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;
and Johanesburg (and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Durban &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;
I’ve been told). In the other states, people seem to live a life that looks
closer to what we know in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;France &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;,
even if there are still bars and trellis doors, alarms and barbed wire, people
walk in town and the shop s are not always in shopping centres. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;It’s a weird life, and I think we can only bear it because we live in a
high security complex, and also because we know our staying here will soon come
to an end. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Now that I have set things straight, I can show you photos of where I
live, you&apos;ll be able to grasp the (fake) paradise we live in.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 04:26:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Shack chic, le livre</title><dc:creator>giocka</dc:creator><link>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/07/02/9776294.html</link><category>Art Sud Africain</category><comments>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/07/02/9776294.html#comments</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/feeds/rss/comments/post/9776294/</wfw:commentRss><guid isPermaLink="true">http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/07/02/9776294.html</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(English version below)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Hier je vous ai parlé des fabuleux paysages de ce canyon, mais plus que les points de vue sur l&apos;immensité, ce que j&apos;ai préféré, c&apos;est une petite balade à travers une véritable forêt tropicale...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Au bout de ce chemin de rêve, le bout du monde vous
attend... si vous avez de la chance! Il ne nous a malheureusement pas attendus,
car une minute (montre en main) avant notre arrivée au point de vue (utilisé
dans le film &amp;quot;les dieux sont tombés sur la tête ), des nuages ont
tout noyé... C&apos;était impressionnant aussi, mais dans un autre genre.
Visiblement, c&apos;est un phénomène fréquent.&lt;/p&gt;

views of this canyon, but what I enjoyed more than the view points was a little walk through a
true rainforest…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;At the end of this dream winding path,
the end of the world awaits you… if you’re lucky! It didn’t wait for us
unfortunately, for one minute (no kidding) before our reaching the viewpoint
(used in the film “les dieux sont tombés sur la tête”), the clouds swallowed
everything… It was impressive in its own way! Apparently, it’s happens quite
regularly.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 04:10:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Blyde River Canyon</title><dc:creator>giocka</dc:creator><link>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/06/30/9739753.html</link><category>Balades en Afrique du Sud</category><comments>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/06/30/9739753.html#comments</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/feeds/rss/comments/post/9739753/</wfw:commentRss><guid isPermaLink="true">http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/06/30/9739753.html</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(English version below)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Juste à côté du parc Kruger, un canyon magnifique, des gorges, des cascades, des points de vue au bord de gouffres à couper le souffle, une impression de bout du monde à ne pas rater!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 04:49:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Le filet</title><dc:creator>giocka</dc:creator><link>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/06/29/9713495.html</link><category>peinture</category><comments>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/06/29/9713495.html#comments</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/feeds/rss/comments/post/9713495/</wfw:commentRss><guid isPermaLink="true">http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/06/29/9713495.html</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(English version below)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pendant nos vacances dans le Western Cape, un matin où le ciel était chargé de nuages, nous avons longé la côte pour descendre sur la péninsule et avant Muizenberg (&lt;a href=&quot;http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/03/13/8304112.html&quot;&gt;les cabines colorées au bord de la plage&lt;/a&gt;, vous vous rappelez?, nous avons vu un attroupement sur la plage; des pêcheurs de retour de pêche, tirant un long filet. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sur place, j&apos;ai rempli une page de mon carnet de voyage (et que j&apos;avais déjà montrée je crois) - encre et aquarelle :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/54/34/401767/27227369.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;314&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;retour_de_peche&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/54/34/401767/27227369_p.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Voici maintenant la toile&amp;nbsp; à l&apos;acrylique que je viens de finir:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/03/45/401767/27226705.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;362&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;le_filet&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/03/45/401767/27226705_p.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Encore une fois, je ne sais pas si cette toile va rendre en photo...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;J&apos;ai collé du papier de soie au centre, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/54/36/401767/27227019.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/54/36/401767/27227019_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;le_filet_detail_a&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;et sur trois côté j&apos;ai collé une sorte de papier très fibreux que j&apos;ai effiloché.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/27/48/401767/27227032.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;245&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/27/48/401767/27227032_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;le_filet_detail_b&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;C&apos;est presque monochrome, j&apos;ai joué avec le brun Van Dyck, mon favori en ce moment...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr width=&quot;100%&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; /&gt;&lt;p&gt;While holidaying in the Western Cape, one cloudy morning, we drove along the Indian Ocean coast and just before Muizenberg (remember &lt;a href=&quot;http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/03/13/8304112.html&quot;&gt;the colourful cabins on the beach&lt;/a&gt;?), we spotted people gathered on the beach; fishermen, just back from fishing, who were hauling a huge net. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the spot, I drew a few sketches on my travel book (which I had already shown I think) - ink and watercolour:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/54/34/401767/27227369.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;314&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;retour_de_peche&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/54/34/401767/27227369_p.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And now, here&apos;s the acrylic painting I&apos;ve just finished:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/03/45/401767/27226705.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;362&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;le_filet&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/03/45/401767/27226705_p.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Once again, I don&apos;t know whether the photo will do it justice...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I glued silk paper in the middle, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/54/36/401767/27227019.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/54/36/401767/27227019_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;le_filet_detail_a&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;and in the three corners I glued some very fibrous paper I had frayed:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/27/48/401767/27227032.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;245&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/27/48/401767/27227032_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;le_filet_detail_b&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;It&apos;s almost monochromatic, I mainly used Van Dyck brown, my favourite at the moment...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;FR&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;&quot;&gt;Les scrappeuses ont répondu a l&apos;appel et ont joué le jeu, mais elles ne
sont pas les seules. Les artistes peintres aussi.&lt;br /&gt;
Le problème de taille pour beaucoup était le délai très court, je m&apos;en excuse. Pourtant
certaines ont malgré tout réussi à m&apos;envoyer de superbes réalisations: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/42/09/401767/27175693.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;341&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/42/09/401767/27175693_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;victory&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;J&apos;ai fait exprès de ne pas mettre le texte trop en valeur, sauf le mot &amp;quot;home&amp;quot;. Le mot &amp;quot;victory&amp;quot; en relief ne se voit qu&apos;avec les jeux de lumière.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quelques détails:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/72/07/401767/27032037.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;299&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/72/07/401767/27032037_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;P1030730&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/15/42/401767/27031959.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;299&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/15/42/401767/27031959_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;P1030727&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;FR&quot;&gt;Tout est parti d’une photo tirée du livre ‘Shack Chic’ que l’on m’a offert pour mon
anniversaire.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/65/88/320418/27093432.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;338&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/65/88/320418/27093432_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;shack_chic_livre&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font lang=&quot;FR&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;FR&quot;&gt;(photograhies de Craig Fraser)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;FR&quot;&gt;C’est un livre
qui décrit les townships, les ‘shacks’ (habitats des bidonvilles en tôle ou en
bois) sous un jour original : on veut montrer le côté soigné de ces foyers
qui sont décorés et tenus avec soin et amour.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;FR&quot;&gt;Il y a beaucoup
de photos splendides et touchantes. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;FR&quot;&gt;Le texte est lui
aussi tiré du même livre, c’est une citation de Sandile Dikeni :&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;« Victory : to build a shack and call it home »
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font lang=&quot;FR&quot;&gt;En gros, c’est
une victoire de construire une maison dans un bidonville et de la considérer
comme son chez soi.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:03:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Pour la cuisine</title><dc:creator>giocka</dc:creator><link>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/06/24/9650087.html</link><category>peinture</category><comments>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/06/24/9650087.html#comments</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/feeds/rss/comments/post/9650087/</wfw:commentRss><guid isPermaLink="true">http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2008/06/24/9650087.html</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Toujours utiles, et utilises sur tous les continents...&lt;/p&gt;
