I am guessing I will be making a lot of feather inspired items with these.
I used alcohol inks and mica powders to get the intense color and sparkle.
"Ciranda de roda
De samba de roda da vida
Que girou, que gira
Na roda da saia rendada
Da moça que dança a ciranda
Ciranda da vida
Que gira e faz girar a roda
Da vida que gira (...)" Roda ciranda, por Martinho da Vila.
Feliz final de semana! Amor, Paz e Luz! Beijos e Gratidão!
Previous post Cropped and increased the contrast. I think this is much better!
The previous post on these two made explore, and when I look at the other explore photos, I get annoyed with my camera and the poor quality of this photo. IT was blurry because I was inside and I wasn't using the camera stand, and I was using one hand to get their attention...
Anyway, hope this looks better. In May, I was going to buy a semi professional camera also with the video recording feature with sound!!! but I used the money for Raphael's teeth extractions...
Raphael was trapped exactly one year ago on my verandah on the 24th august 2011. The vet aged him at approximately 1 year old....so his 2nd birthday has just passed...glad he made it, might not have if I didn't catch him, he was 3 kg lighter then than he is now (6.8kg).
I adore this color, especially at this time of year! :D The yarn was a huge, chunky thread, so I had to break out one of my bug hooks to whip this one up. I think it came out really well & I pulled a great shot here. :)
Hotel Lift in the Main House
The Beverly Hills Hotel is one stunning hotel of the Dorchester collection. Located on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly HIlls it is home to the rich and famous. For example, Marylin Monroe stayed at one of the hotel's bungalows for 6 months. The royal couple Prince William and Kate (The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) also stay there during their 2011 trip to Canada and Los Angeles.
The fine folks over at AMARYLLO® Industries are bringing their hi-tech hi-end swiveling cams to the consumer market this spring! Not only do they pan and tilt, they swivel! - three hundred and sixty degrees! They're "The Most Trusted Security."
It's what all the Vegas casinos use!
I really am happy with this one! The water effect was done using another of my lace molds that I bought at the trade fair here in Italy earlier this year. This is for a brother & sister.. the boy wanted the shark.. the mother requested Ariel for the little girl
Favourite hawker's and western food at Madam Kwan's new and cozy place at Empire Shopping Gallery in Subang Jaya.
Sexy Suji in Dollmore lace top and new print socks of unknown brand, both bought at Dollism Plus Hong Kong, while the panty was ffrom Dollheart.
I stopped at the Container Store today after another errand. It was my first time and I was apprehensive. I wandered the aisles for awhile, looking for useful things and trying to think about our storage needs. I was afraid it was going to be ridiculously expensive, but all together everything was only forty bucks.
Last week Andy got two brand new, identical monitors for his desk, and he gave me his widescreen. So now I use that as my main monitor, and my old, regular-sized one as the second. To fit the two monitors, I had to get rid of an IKEA dokument. I spent some time going through all the paper that had collected in two of the trays, using expandable folders leftover from my teaching days. I used one of them to collecting the growing pile of paperwork associated with all of the business stuff. That folder is now on the top right shelf for easy access/drop-in. The top level of the tray collected an assortment of trinkets and things, and some of them I put away and some of it I still don't have a home for. Nor do I have a home for the letter tray itself. It can go in my giveaway pile.
Today I bought a few clear plastic shoeboxes for storage in our bathroom/hall closet, because it is a mess, and the smaller bins I have in there are overflowing. I put one together tonight--all our medicine/pharmacy-type things--but there is SO much more work to do in there. Mostly getting rid of old makeup-type crap.
I also wanted some storage options for my desk, and I ended up with two medium stacking bins plus a slim paper file. Previously I had upright things just leaning, and an assortment of crap holding the vertical stuff up. Which meant things were in a jumble and constantly falling over. So going vertical with the smaller stuff storage was important. However, pretty much all of the storage pieces were large and flat, or large and tall and wide--and I need smallish and vertical. So the bottom one holds random stuff like pens, earphones, etc, while the top holds the stapler, tape dispenser, notepads, and the tiny bowl which has work keys and binder clips. The top left shelf used to have a precariously balanced full pencil bin, and now it's two pen cups, kleenex, and envelopes.
Overall it looks and feels SO much clearer and cleaner! I love that feeling. Except that then I look around at all the other places that need this kind of attention and I feel depressed, because it's everywhere. Oh well, baby steps. This is really good progress for me, and it'll be good motivation to keep going, in small bits.
Oh, and if you need some inspiration, flip through Unfuck Your Habitat. Seeing that occasionally has gotten the declutter/cleanup bug seeped into my head here and there.
Well, I've decided that I need to lose 8 lbs. in the next 4 months.....before my doctor's appointment. It's not easy. I love food. I did enjoy my Chicken Salad Fruit Plate at the VCC. Jim ate the country buffet. For supper, I ate some baked chicken, roasted potatoes & onions with some Publix coleslaw. I drizzled a little Mrs. Griffin's BBQ sauce on the chicken. It was delicious.
I went to the Senior Center today and paid my dues for the next year....only $20. I attended the first meeting of Happy Travelers with Steve as our new leader. I paid a deposit for a trip next May to Niagara Falls & Tulip Time in Michigan. I've been to Niagara Falls twice before, but I'm sure this will be a good trip.
Then I went to the swimming pool at Stone Creek for water aerobics class. Becky taught the class again this week since Laura is on vacation at St. George Island. My stomach muscles are sore since I've used weights in the water twice this week. It's too bad that my FitBit doesn't count my steps in the water. I know I've walked over 5k, but my FitBit only says 3200 since I wasn't wearing it in the water.
