of another of my loves...
gardening.
what can i say?
its one of the most calming, rewarding experiences i know.
when i'm in my garden...
physically...
or mentally planning...
i can get lost for hours.
if i go outside to pull one weed...
i look at my watch to see an hour has passed...
especially if i've got my ipod and am performing for the neighbors.
today...
i walked along the perimeter of my garden...
and discovered that i have tomatoes on a few of my plants.
i was ecstatic!
i went back inside...
grabbed my camera...
and proceeded to take photos of tomatoes and flowers...
just beginning to bloom.
it began to rain...
and since i hadn't had my fill of gardening yet...
i came inside, created this photo...
and then proceeded to plant the basil seeds that were given to me with the pot.

Each specialty has its own special tools, which must have been conceived and made out of experience?
Bettering the tools all the time for the job?
Here, two specialists, Willem Vermandere and his woodcuts and Vincent Flachet, a luthier...
We had the honour to visit their workplace.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

My tools at rest. The tablet is 12 years old and shows some signs of wear from the past 12 years (as do I) and not everything works. Still it and reading glasses to put over my regular glasses (making DIY) computer glasses are the tools I use for attempts to share a little of the majesty of life I see. Someday when I am gone, I hope these are laying there with a masterpiece on the screen and I left after a final attempt to share what I saw.
Today at Crazy Tuesday Group the theme is: tools. Since it is an orange day At Color My World Daily Group, the color for today is orange… And of course, my tiny Mr. Teddy Bear is here since it is a Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday!! So orange tools and Teddy Bear day! How cool is that.
And who is a constant need of tools (of every sizes and shapes) and happens to be a huge fan of orange color? Mr. Kosmo himself!
Tools are truly important in space. You need them to open a bottle of wine, scratch your back, comb your hair before putting your helmet on or just to repair your spaceship. And since Mr. Kosmo is now a new proud owner of red space rocket bought on ebay, he needs his tools! Indeed, the red rocket was slightly used when he got it… and a little bit beaten up (more than specified in the ebay description!). Let just say that this red rocket needs a lot of TLC before going anywhere… But Mr.Kosmo is thrilled: for the second time in his life he feels like a real astronaut !! The first time he got that feeling was when he received his orange suit and put it on for the very first time…
Mr. Kosmo isn’t a handy man (but he is truly handsome under his helmet... so he doesn’t need to be handy...or that is what he likes to think) …. That is why he invited his friend Mr. Teddy Bear who has a very successful construction company. Mr. Teddy Bear isn’t handsome but he is truly handy, so this makes him quite a catch for the opposite sex! Ladies, Mr.Teddy Bear is able to repair anything ! Give him an axe, some scotch tape and a screw driver and he will build a you plane or a spaceship !
Of course, since there is no gravity in space, it is very important to keep everything, including your tools and yourself, glued to the ground. And then the reparation of the red space rocket can begin. Good luck Mr. Kosmo and Mr.Teddy Bear !!!
Have a beautiful orange, tools, teddy bear day!!! Happy Crazy Tuesday, Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday and Color My World Daily to all participants!!
Thank you so much for your support!!! I truly appreciate your positive energy!! I wish you a very happy and awesome day!!!
I was looking for something in the garden shed today and found the old brace and screwdriver. They belonged to my grandfather. The mini-surform was my father's. I thought the mixture of smooth and textured surfaces would make a nice still-life. Added a few screws for contrast.
About 20 light-painted images, blended in PSE.
I made this for all my tools of the trade, well some of them at least! I patchworked and quilted the outside and inside, ended up quite padded and quite long! (Nearly 2 ft!)
I now just want to add one of my patchwork fabric on card tags to finish it off. I'm quite happy with it, although ended up far more complicated to do than I first hoped!!!
Looking close...on Friday: Chocolate
I found this set of chocolate tools in my local dollar store. (I'm keeping them in business buying photo props.) Each piece is about 10 cm long. All I had to add was some chocolate wood, a chocolate-dipped screw, and "sawdust". :)

Essa eu peguei num fórum de ilustração que eu participo: é um programa de desenho e colorização de imagens chamado "Paint Tool SAI".
Pelo que consta, ele foi criado especialmente pra mangás, então os recursos dele são bem voltados pra esse meio: traço bem definido e marcado, ferramentas de cor com degradê, marcadores, etc. Tem também opções de "consertar" o seu traço como se ele fosse um vetor (ótimo para aquele errinho minúsculo que compromete o desenho, mas que dá preguiça de fazer de novo) e outro pra traços longos (coisa bem chata de se fazer em tablet. Achei bem bacana até pra quem trabalha com cartoon ou tem o traço mais estilizado, porque é mais intuitivo e mais fácil de configurar que um Painter da vida... mas óbvio que ele tem as suas limitações.
Baixei há pouco, testei e tô gostando. Apanhei bastante (até porque não tenho o costume de desenhar em tablet, só de colorir), não encontrei algumas ferramentas que o pessoal citou, brinquei com outras... enfim, acho que vale a dica.
Esse post aqui fala mais sobre o programa, e dá indicações de videos de gente usando o dito-cujo. Não vi ainda (tá de madrugada, oi?!), mas parece que tem coisa ninja...
*o desenho aí em cima foi uma pullip Chill rabiscada bem informalmente. Mas nem mostro a carinha dela porque ficou feinha, parcendo personagem do Dragon Ball...
Ilustras para a vitrine nova da loja Tool Box. Na vitrine, espelhos foram colocados no lugar dos rostos, para que as pessoas pudessem se sentir no lugar do personagem.
Trabalho realizado pela Greco design.
made by the man shown below. See that image for details on this internationally famous Czech master. This piece (about 50cm or 20 inches) was fashioned from a big piece of refuse glass from a Turkish commercial bottle making factory. First he used a hammer and chisel to rough out the shape. Then various diamond grinding and sanding tools to refine the shape, Then he used the tip of an old carbide drill bit to chip the patterns you see. Finally hours and hours of polishing.
