There is something wonderful about someone who takes their very specific craft and makes it their own- and makes it into their livelihood. If you ever think that no one would be interested in your "niche," you're probably wrong. Take for example, Jeanne Bayol -
cré
atrice extraordinaire who is passionate about
l'esprit tzigane- (gypsy style). She restores old gypsy caravans and swaths them in bright colors, fabric and layers of decoration. Doesn't this make you want one? It would be like camping out in a fanciful mini technicolor palace...
You must check out her books,
Les Roulottes and
Vivre Bohême, ...There are more incredibly inspiring photos from these books at
this flickr set. If you need an injection of color in your surroundings, definitely have a look! Or, order your own
roulotte (caravan) at
Les Verdines. (images: Jeanne Bayol; Les Verdines; Le Journal des Femmes).
