This girl's tattoes are a work in progress, as is she, as are we all...
Wow, is there a lot of tattooing going on in a certain segment of our society.. Mostly, of course, among the people who aren't yet old enough to have seen fashion trends come and go, and lived to regret having fallen into the trap of being trendy.. Bell bottoms.. wind pants.. perms.. you name the trend, and it has come and gone.
It's not that I have anything against tattoos - in the right places, and for the right reasons.. Tattoos that have deep personal significance, to mark some event in a person's life? I can see that.. And a truly beautiful little tat to enhance the back of a pretty shoulder in a strapless gown, or the nape of the neck.. I can see that too.
But I don't really like tattoos that are half-covered by clothing. Just an OCD thing on my part, I suppose.. It just doesn’t look right. I want to see it all, or not see it at all. Which, when you are tattooed like this pretty young woman, requires her to be naked, or all buttoned up. Neither of which seems entirely appropriate at the river, but if I had to make a choice…. (grins..)

On 17 July 2021, Jacqueline Sassard (1940) died of natural causes in Lugano, Switzerland. In the late 1950s and 1960, the charming and beautiful French actress had a short but successful career in European cinema. Sassard was 81.
Jacqueline Sassard was born in Nice, France in 1940. She started her career as a teenager in the French thriller Je plaide non coupable/Guilty? (Edmond Gréville, 1956). The following year, she played the title role of the Italian comedy Guendalina (Alberto Lattuada, 1957), with Sylva Koscina and Raf Vallone as her parents. The film was produced by Dino De Laurentiis and Carlo Ponti, and the latter offered her another lead role in the comedy Nata di marzo/Born in March (Antonio Pietrangeli, 1958) opposite Gabriele Ferzetti. For her role, she won the Zuleta Prize at the San Sebastián International Film Festival 1958. In Italy, she also appeared as a young woman with family and economical troubles in Il magistrato/The Magistrate (Luigi Zampa, 1959), a co-production with Spain and France. The Spaniard José Suárez stars in the film, and other roles were played by François Périer and a 21-year-old Claudia Cardinale. In the award-winning drama Estate violenta/Violent Summer (Valerio Zurlini, 1959), her character is left by Jean Louis Trintignant for Eleonora Rossi Drago. She also played one of the three sisters who take revenge on playboy Alain Delon in the comedy Faibles femmes/Three Murderesses (Michel Boisrond, 1959), co-starring Mylène Démongeot and Pascale Petit.
In the early 1960s, Jacqueline Sassard mainly worked in Italy in less prestigious films than before. It was the period of the Peplum spectacles and she was seen as Antiope in Arrivano i titani/The Titans (Duccio Tessari, 1962) with Pedro Armendáriz and Giuliano Gemma. Hal Erickson at AllMovie: “My Son the Hero started out in 1961 as a straightforward Italian sword and sandal affair titled Arrivano i Titani, all about the quest for a magic helmet in ancient Thebes. Well cast (Pedro Armendariz is the star) and extremely well photographed, the original film was still not sufficiently different from all the other Italian strongman films glutting the American market in 1963. Thus the American distributors hit upon the notion of transforming the film into a satire, by redubbing all the actors and hoking up the sound effects. What resulted was a heady mixture of Yiddish accents, Borscht-belt one-liners, and rippling pecs.” Sassard also appeared in a small part opposite Steve Reeves in the adventure film Sandokan, la tigre di Mompracem/Sandokan the Great (Umberto Lenzi, 1963). In between, Sassard played opposite Freddy Quinn in the German Schlagerfilm Freddy und das Lied der Südsee/Freddy and the Song of the South Seas (Werner Jacobs, 1962). She had a supporting part in the Italian-French sex comedy Le voci bianche/Counter Tenors (Pasquale Festa Campanile, Massimo Franciosa, 1964) with Sandra Milo and Anouk Aimée.
One of Jacqueline Sassard’s best films is the Italian drama Le stagioni del nostro amore/Seasons of Our Love (Florestano Vancini, 1966) with Enrico Maria Salerno and Anouk Aimée. Sassard then played an Austrian princess in the prestigious British film Accident (Joseph Losey, 1967), based on a script by Harold Pinter and starring Dirk Bogarde. At the 1967 Cannes Film Festival, the film won the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury. Gavin Jones at IMDb: “One of the best films ever made, this movie oozes atmosphere. The cinematography is impeccable, the script disturbingly brilliant.” Her last credited screen appearance was opposite Stéphane Audran and Jean-Louis Trintignant in the sensual and sexy thriller Les Biches/The Does/Girlfriends (1968), directed by Claude Chabrol. It was one of the first films subtly dealing with bisexuality. James Travers at French Films: “All the time, we, the audience, are seduced by the beautiful cinematography, the captivating, sensual performances, most notably from the Sphinx-like Stéphane Audran, and Chabrol's masterful direction. This is a deliciously seductive work, but one which is also profoundly disturbing.” Then Jacqueline Sassard retired and disappeared from public view. In Brazil, she had met Gianni Lancia, the Italian former automobile engineer, industrialist, and racing enthusiast. They married and had one son, Lorenzo. At the age of 81, Jacqueline Sassard died of natural causes in Lugano, Switzerland, in 2021.

All that's left is track belts and a couple more parts to fill gaps. Nearly done, and ready for an improved script.
New Year's Resolution No. #1 is to finish this quilt! My goal is to have it complete by March 1st~just in time to back it with a print from the re-release of FMF. See, there is a method to my madness.
They call it progress but I feel sad each time I see these structures being built. All the orchards and farms are all gone and the population has gone up from 40, 000 to more that 200, 000 in 35 years that we've been here. The farmer across the street from our house used to let me go and help myself to whatever he had growing. The farmer passed away and the family sold the farm and became residential houses not too long after.
This is a page from 'Unwind in the Wilds' illustrated by Sarah Taylor and produced by 'Derwent Colour and Relax'.
I bought the book as a promo pack complete with ten Derwent Coloursoft pencils at quite a low price. The offer price seems to have gone up £4 since I bought it!
The book comes with instructions, a colour wheel and a couple of completed coloured in pages.Seemingly ideal for beginners and youngsters but perhaps isn't everyone's cup of tea.
So far I have given the bird its first coating but it now needs at least another one over the top.
I honestly can't work out what leaves, flowers or buds are growing from the branch.Jan says just start and see what develops. Keeping to the ten Coloursoft pencils makes it more of a challenge.
If I do finish it I'll attempt to put it on Flickr in due course.
Standing outside the Co-operative hardware store at Beamish Museum is this absolute masterpiece of motor car preservation, a 1901 four seater tonneau, made by The Progress Cycle Co. of Coventry and UK registered EU 12.
Note the blanket lying on the front. Even on a warm day this must have been an essential part of the car's equipment.
The Progress Cycle Company made cars from 1898 until 1903. They also made motorcycles between 1900 and 1905.

Inglewood Point. Lighthouse by Culprit. Anyone else still have a love for 'old fashioned' builds? I love mesh and sculpts had their time - but sometimes I just love the clean edges of a prim. This house might have some mesh to it - I'm not sure - but I love it's SL circa 2010 look :)
I'd been thinking about another trip to this part of Felixstowe for a while but had been waiting for tide, sunset and weather to all get along nicely together. The opportunity arose last night when it finally stopped raining so Parrish and I headed down there on a very last minute trip.
I spent most of my time trying to avoid getting the docks in the frame but as all the cloud had moved in that direction I finally gave up and composed a couple of shots to include the docks... they were my favourites of the night!

iPhone shot a couple of days ago of my antique restoration project. Spring is here and the landscaping has started, Between that and the sanding I am getting muscles like I've never had :-). much better on black
My Licca dollhouse is progressing steadily. The roof terrace is all but finished.
I've been working on the windows now. They have been a challenge to design so that they're practical and neat to make with the equipment/facilities I have. Not having a designated workshop area for woodwork is a downside, when every piece is sawn by hand. I have all this stuff just piled up in my dolly room now and I need to scoot off to the backyard warehouse when I need to saw something. Hehe!
I will do some touch ups on the paint work all over yet, but I'm fairly pleased with how its coming along, the colours chosen and such. :) Building this is so much fun, coming up with ways to do the different parts of the house and getting to play the designer a bit.

Been a while since I have posted a picture of Flooppy Town... Lot's of stuff has happened. lol!
If your interesting in building in this town, just let me know. We are looking for people to build in the plots we have set out.
Well, I'm finally getting my MO build started on.
I am trying to incorporate this build with some EU troops and have been crunched for time lately. I'm trying to depict a scene with angry protesters storming a building that has relations with the EU army. No, this isn't inspired by the recent attacks on the US Embassy's throughout the Middle East....
Please give me some CC! I hpoe to finish this by Sunday!
