Let's Get Creative 2015 - Week #2 - Spherical
I'm so late with these! But I'll try to take this week to catch up with this fabulous challenge.
I hope you're all having lovely weeks, and that your days are filled with joy!
Week 1: Elements

Week 1
Theme: Elements
This is my entry for the Let's Get Creative 2015 project. It is the first time I have attempted to enclose someone in ice and the project proved to pose some big challenges. I think the weather outside helped out a lot! I was really felling the icy cold outside while editing this.

Day 365
BOOM. DONE.
Finally.
I don't think it has sunken in yet, I am actually FINISHED. Yikes.
But of course, I am not familiar with the term "relax" so I am starting a 52 week project today! If you'd like to join too just search for the group Let's Get Creative. This week the theme is elements, and I tried to incorporate all four. Originally I was using coffee grounds as dirt but that didn't turn out very well. "No Gramma I have no idea what happened to the carpet!" O:)
Anyway, I ended up using leaves to represent earth instead, and air is fuelling the fire so there ya go.

Let's Get Creative 2015 — Week #4 - Music
(title stolen from the 'The Mamas and the Papas' song!)
It may look like I jumped week three, but it only looks that way because several events occurred so that I would... Yeah. I jumped week three.
(The photo is taken, though. I'm just struggling a little bit with the processing, so it'll take me a bit longer to post!)
So this one is for music, and it left my room peppered with little golden stars that are still sticking to everything, a week later. You're welcome, family. I'll always be here to fill up your house with glitter.
Have a fab weekend!
theme: Imperfections
We all have what we call imperfections. A sign, a stain, a bigger member than the other, a defect of character, a shadow in the soul ... We all have something that keeps us from perfection, because we are human. However, these imperfections nothing more, nothing less, what distinguishes us from others, which identifies us as unique. Is the society doesn't let us see well and transforms our brands in imperfections.
Let's Get Creative 2015 — Week #1 - Elements
I'm doing the LGC challenge until I can find a project of my own to dedicate myself to, this year. And the word for this week was 'elements', out of which I chose fire.
I've been sick, these past few days. A stomach bug, and I hadn't felt this thrown down in years. It's a terrible feeling, so I keep thinking of my friends who have actually serious diseases and have to deal with feeling like this every day for long periods of time. Buddies, my heart is with you.
Still, I was forced to stay on Lipton Ice Tea and Coca-cola for a day, and that was the only thing I could put into my mouth that didn't make me want to die. This is a callback to that, a small homage to the coca-cola bottles in which one stored blood for transfusions in WWII.
So, have a wonderful start of year, my friends! May 2015 bring us all the joy and all the fun in the world, and may we all get our best wishes!
Let's Get Creative week #5 — Reflection
"These are not common mirrors."
"They're not?"
"They show the people inside. As many as there are."
--
Here's my entry for reflection! And boy, do I feel like it's a throw back to how I used to edit. I missed playing with reality like this, editing in that same innocent, wondrous way I did when I first started. This is also a shout out to my graduation project and the use of frames. I never published it, but it was done mostly around this particular frame.
I hope you guys like this, and have a fabulous rest of week!
I love Autumn, the weather is perfect, the trees are beautiful, and there's almost always a nice, pleasant breeze. It's also when Doctor Who comes on, which makes it even better.
5/52.
Weather
I'm swapping week five's theme for week six one. (Haven't got the chance yet to make the other one)
“ Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong. We call it a "perfect storm". Funny. Never thought it would happen to me.
But here's an end to every storm. Once all the trees have been uprooted, once all the houses have been ripped apart, the wind will hush, the clouds will part, the rain will stop. The sky will clear in an instant and only then, in those quiet moments after the storm, do we learn who was strong enough to survive it.”
I'm letting this storm swallow me and rip myself, to tear me down, to break me in the inside a little bit, but trying to make myself stronger.
Week 2
Theme: spherical
This week's final image was decided upon by an army of lovely creative geniuses. Too much time playing with photoshop seems to lead to indecisiveness! Thanks to everyone who helped to choose the final shot <3

This has been the most tiring week in a long time. We were at a church convention thing all weekend, constantly busy. I was totally unprepared for this week's self portrait and didn't really expect to be able to take a nice looking one. Right after the convention was over we went camping. I'll admit I was hoping to find some nice scenery to save my unpreparedness. But man what I found was a lot better then just a few nice looking trees, and I have to say, that I'm really quite proud of this picture. You see, about eighty years ago these arches were the entrance to an amusement park next to the Ohio River. That is, until the park was flooded and destroyed beyond repair. Now only the bare foundations of the various attractions are left. What I saw of them was pretty cool, and I think it's really neat that I got to take my self portrait there.
theme: temperature
Often, we are considered distant, cold, one built barrier for our own protection and that firm in character. But this barrier is not unbreakable ... know what can cause enough heat to melt the ice?
4/52 Learning how to fly
When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly.

I created a tumblr to collect all the beautiful artistic self-portraits that are out there: not-a-selfie.tumblr.com/
28/52 I'm very inspired by the in-camera effects that Lara Jade and Jeremy Cowart create. Loving an image on your tiny camera display already is kind of the best :).
(Also, damn you flickr sharpening!!)

'mythology'. pandora's box
According to greek mythology, Pandora's box contained all the evils of the world. Pandora's curiosity made her to release all that evil to the whole world because she couldn't resist to see what the box contained. Then, when she realized what she caused, she inmediately closed the box, leaving the hope within. But... Did Pandora realise of that hope that still remained in the inside?
Do we realise of that little glimpse of hope that hold us, and makes us to feel, even in the hardest situations, that everything's going to be okay?
Even you feel strucked down, lost, or whatever, hope is holding you.
Sometimes I feel like I could just go down in the woods and stay there forever. But if I were to stay there too long eventually it would swallow me whole. (morbid, I know but that was the general thought behind this) (well that, and the fact that I've been wanting to use this spot of the woods for ages)
46/52 Just breathe
Sometimes I feel dizzy just because my mind is too busy and running in circles. Then I need to remind myself to inhale, exhale and slow down.
Let's Get Creative week #6 — Weather
"I don't know what they're telling you, Donny. I think these are great skies for flying!"
--
This is a bit of stretch for the theme, but I had it so clear in my head from the start. To change, to the new opportunities that are coming my way. To the start of a wondrous path.
Happy weekend, dearies!
I joined to the "Let's Get Creative 2015", a project of 52 weeks of self portraits.
Once that I've missed the 1st and 2nd week post, I decide to create a image that contain the both themes - elements and spherical - to start my contribution to the group.
Hope you enjoy.
Like on facebook too.
27/52 After 6 months of weekly self-portraits in 2014 I will continue with this project in 2015. You can still join us: Let's get creative 2015
