On me demande souvent comment me viennent les idées... Je ne sais pas, j'aime à croire que je puise dans un flux d'énergie créative, plus ou moins présent selon les moments, plus ou moins ouvert, petit filet ou ruisseau conséquent, cela varie...
One often asks where come my ideas from...
I don't know, I'm pleased to think I draw in a creative energy flow, more or less here , more or less open, little trickle or larger stream, it varies...
Aujourd'hui je vous livre une interprétation de ce "jus créatif", issu de plusieurs ingrédients pas tous déterminés, mais qui une fois assemblés vont créer une dynamique.
Today I give you an interpretation of this creative juice, which comes from several but not all known ingredients, and once gathered, will create a dynamic.
Voici donc "ma petite alchimie":
So here is "my little alchemy":
C'est un petit laboratoire assez curieux,
It's a pretty curious laboratory,
complexe (je ne comprends pas toujours tout).
and intricate (I don't always understand everything).

Bien sûr la zone est réservée.
Of course the zone is reserved.
Il y a d'abord un produit de base, qui est chauffé (attention, la température est contrôlée).
First there is a basic product, heat up (look out, the temperature is controlled).

Puis s'ajoute un additif.
Then there's an additive.
Le boîtier de commande est précis:
The control box is precise:
Tout paraît très organisé.
Everything looks very organised.
Le tout passe par une machine complexe, un voyant orange permet de contrôler la bonne marche du processus.
The whole passes through an intricate machine, and an orange indicator allows to control the operation goes right.

La notice est là, tout y est consigné mais c'est top secret!
The instructions are here, but they are top secret!

Là ça se corse: un transformateur électrique s'en mêle:
Here it becomes complicated: an electric transformer gets involved in it:
caution!
Toutes ces connexions restent pour moi mystérieuses: et si on essayait d'autres combinaisons?
All these connexions remain mysterious for me: what if trying other combinations?

Au final on obtient un précieux liquide pailleté...
Finally we obtain a precious sparkling liquid...
... qui tend à s'échapper... (la créativité se maîtrise-t-elle?)...
... which tends to escape... (can creativity be mastered?)...

...évidemment, à consommer sans modération!
... obviously, can be taken with abandon!

J'ai commencé par réunir tous les éléments de récupération: rouages, pailles, tubes, capsule de café ("what else?")...
First I gathered all bits: gears, straws, tubes, coffee capsules ("what else?")...
J'ai découpé les boîtes à la Caméo, peint les tubes à la peinture à maquette dorée,
I cut the black boxes with Cameo machine, painted straws with gold model paint,

and enhanced the edges with an oil copper stick.

Le sol est fait en carrés d’aluminium issu d'opercules de boîtes, et sur un vieux cadre en plastique (il fait environ 18 x 24 cm)...
The ground is made with aluminium squares cut from can's caps, and on an old plastic frame...

j'ai collé des formes découpées à la Caméo, peintes au Gesso noir puis à la Twinkling H2O
I glued paper shapes cut with Cameo, painted with black Gessso and brushed with Twinkling H2O.
