I have a lot of fun up there," says Gzowski, a guitarist who once appeared at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. "It's a fun new way of working with sound.
To replicate the sound of a character hiding in a bush, he scrunches reel-to-reel audio tape ("It happens to be Harry Belafonte singing, which gives it a more tropical bush sound," he cracks). He settled on celery to simulate the sound of ice breaking after failing with cracking several kinds of wood ("The celery is a fun visual as well.") The MTC props department built him a rain stick filled with dried mung beans, which was deemed too noisy onstage, so barley was substituted.
"I have to balance being interesting and showing the audience what I'm doing without taking focus," says Gzowski, who remains expressionless throughout the show, w...

Reclaimed wood is being used to create new unique furniture pieces, lamps and accessories. Many of these scrap pieces were destined for the rubbish pile, until some creative souls injected new life into the litter. In photo A, pieces of scrap wood make up the door fronts on this chest, creating a one-of-a-kind textural creation. Tropical vines make up room dividers (Photo B), wall art and table bases that will make a statement in any room setting. A tree-root console (Photo C) will be one of the most interesting and distinctive accents for your home. As many of these pieces are one-of-a-kind, never to be recreated again, these suppliers email their new options as they arrive and you must act quickly if you find something you want.
Concrete, well-known as an eco-friendly product, was fou...

The soft hues of this room beget a feeling of a calming retreat. The pale green wall colour is soothing and brings a sense of instant serenity when you walk into the space. Soft, subtle colours are best suited to a bedroom space where you want your mind and body to truly unwind from the tension of everyday life. The complementary sand colour on the opposite wall, while in the same colour tone, provides visual interest without assaulting the senses. You don't have to stick with one colour in a space just because you want it to be demure. You do, however, have to keep within the same realm of colour intensity with each colour so that neither one glares out, but rather, they balance and complement each other. This colour scheme of sand and sea is a good choice for a relaxing space.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect Asian food in a restaurant named Bamboo, or at least something generically tropical, but for the most part you won't get it in this attractive new restaurant, which has replaced Wilton's at this address. In fact, even the decor -- apart from the etched bamboo motif on the windows, the wee bamboo plants on the tables, and the bamboo design of the flatware -- is eclectically occidental, a sleek, softly lit room that is a study in brown with its dark wood tables and leather-clad booths.
The cooking, too, is mostly eclectically occidental, with emphasis on local, organic-when-possible ingredients, although the Orient does find its way into the cooking in the occasional use of ginger, lime and soy sauce, as well as in one of the two vegetarian entrees --...
