Girls often dream of their own cozy "nest". Someone about a house on the seashore or ocean, someone about their own room with an oriental interior, someone about an apartment decorated the way they want … Lisa Lou, a girl from a dysfunctional family, has dreamed of her own a house and a beautiful kitchen, where she could be a full-fledged mistress. And she realized her dream in a very interesting way.
Lisa Lu's dream kitchen is small, only 10x9 square meters. It has everything you need: a refrigerator, a stove with an oven, a sink, cabinets and shelves, dishes, a broom and a scoop, and certainly - food. It seems to be nothing unusual … if not for the fact that all this is woven from beads.
It took Lisa more than four years to make a "real" life-size kitchen, although initially she planned to spend no more than six months on creating an installation, and more than 40 million beads. It's amazing how delicate work and painstaking work is! After all, Lisa Lou even woven from beads even garbage in a scoop, a toaster with a toast, dishwashing detergent, water jets from the tap and citro pouring out of an overturned can!
True, the colors chosen by the craftswoman for her full-size installation are somewhat wild, so the overall composition turned out to be, to put it mildly, "wry-eyed". But the girl was able to make her childhood dream come true, albeit in such a strange way. By the way, Lisa Lou has had her own apartment with a real kitchen for a long time.
