Helena Cardoso's textile handmade work.
Love the natural materials Helena uses to make her textile work, namely licens and bark trees among others.
Fortunately the rain came and put out the last fires. But, there are not much of the forest left. A pity!
I keep seeing the fires in this image...
This year, we all are longing for rain, rain to fade the memories of a burning Summer.
Textile designs for Woolen fabrics, were made from an original piece of Fine Art, I made few years back. The Original piece took 2.5 month to create. It was made of wool fibers... AND, It was exhibited at an international exhibition.
Original photo of myself was taken: Nov, 27, 10.
For this photo-montage, I used today 3 designs.
-------------------------------------------------
Some are lucky enough to create their own designs.
Some are lucky enough to create designs wore by others.
Some designers are lucky enough to sell their design and earn a living.
Some designers are lucky enough to wear their own designs...Whether really or virtually.
Some of you, had the privilege to wear my designs. Some of you maybe still remember this.
Surely I created this for myself... LIFE PROOF THIS.
Lucky... ?... How long did it take to reach this kind of level in design work.
How many are taking just right now the inspiration... ?
Influencing... Am I ...??
Will you give something in return.. ?
Thanks for visiting.
I vote for safety in all my doings...
Safety can bring real customers... Isn't it ?
Without safety, can I really sell and make this real ??
"Food for your thoughts "..

From My Dream Diary
Beginnings
Excitement..
Hesitation.. and not really hesitation..
Certain apprehension... Calm from the right thing to do.
Dreams are my reality. is that so?
Living in dreams.. Certainly not!
A dream I had last night.. I remember what happened.. what I said.
And I note to myself, although surprised, how appropriate... accurate to myself.
But I don't remember in any way the subject (the person) of my dream.
Even if...
in the last decade, I prefer not to dream... and dream much less...
At least I don't remember most of my dreams.
I have to say that there are dreams worth dreaming. Such was the dream from the previous night.
About dreams that add flavor to life, and soften it.
Nira Dabush.
The fence is empty, as you can see. The sheep are in the fields in freedom. I see them in the bottom. Taking into account the white flocks of white wool we see around, it's obvious that somebody is clipping their wool. I can even see the sheperd (dog) running from one corner to another to organize the sheep and keep them safe.
I think that if a child (or the little Prince) were asked to draw a fence, he would make one like this...
...
Helena Cardoso's textile handmade work.
Love the natural materials Helena uses to make her textile work, namely licens and bark trees among others.
The artist, Nira Dabush inspired at the Gilboaa, Israel... For Future Artworks.
Photos were taken Summer 2007.
Accessories designed and made by myself.
To be there, to feel the natural energies, created by the sights of the breathtaking landscape.
The excitement causes instant enthusiasm and inspiration.
The knowledge that it is clear that someday I will paint from my feelings, I felt there.
Even several years later. Factually it happened several times.
Life is an inspiration. What good for my own soul inspires.
Since for me personally, inspiration is endless, life dictates when or if to create according to.
While being young, I need to create with all that inspired me. (therefore I made lists)
Nowadays, I create only with part of my inspiration, especially in internet times.
Thanks for visiting.
Stay happy safe and loved.
Love & peace.

Many thanks to the representatives and those who arrive in Israel, those who are sent and pass my way.
Especially the "Remember Every Moment" recently. It excites me personally. In a split second, instantly...I digest and don't digest.
Therefore, I don't really know what to do about it.(+@)
I'm sorry that my closest family members are unable to digest, to believe...Not know..!
Until this moment, none of us were prepared for such or similar surprising situations.
Wishing all visitors Happy Safe Pleasing Stay in Israel.
Thanks so much for visiting my portfolio!

In the process of creating, the work area in my apartment.
Watercolor work, inspired by my photography, from the landscapes of the Gilboa.
Taken on my blue table. (The third desk that my father made for me, originally for the Spectrum Gallery,
later changed its purpose and color, by myself )
My cat, Silk, Lulilu, accompanies the work process, at least in part, in the documentation and photography part.
An acrylic picture hangs above the table.
At that time, I take part of the work out of the home, and another part from the " Colourful Magic " studio, where I work on two additional desks.
There are two artworks in these photographs:
" Huge Shells At The Beach" . Acrylics. 100CM X 100CM.
" To Warm the Soul with the POWER of Nature's Colour". Watercolour. 70CM X 50CM.
Thanks for visiting.
Posting in the name of safe private life, in perfect privacy.
Love & Peace.
From time to time, I check with myself, ( or found out of new ) and share with you, Partly my personal definition, or feeling towards "TIE", Or Ties.
Each tie is different from the other.
Before the internet era, most of my ties, I knew, know.
I did not give the "tie" a definition, or a thought, since there was no reason, for doing so.
Ties have several meanings to me.
This original creation of mine, started back then, as "Unbreakable Ties"
.. At times I had quite a lot of ties, usually, it made me smile, then. (it changed)
Nowadays, I have many more ties.
Some ties, I knew, I know, I will find out later in life, many years later, or will never find out.
Some ties, I really like, some others will never have connections with, or are useless. Some probably I prefer not to mention, or know about.
Ties are those interested in "things" or " issues" in my life, that I choose to share, or did not choose to share ( this I could not agree to ). Some of my ties, I know, are familiar with, or will never get to really know.
It is obvious that for my safety, I would prefer that my ties, will be only people that I am familiar with.
But this last idea, is impossible.
Some of those I never suspected as my ties, are definitely My Ties.
Some of my unbreakable ties are those who follow my posts for many years.. become breakable. For me surely, for themselves, I can never really know.
Ties rhymes with Spies.. Interesting..(!)
May we have special good ties to build our connections with, based on fairness.
Ask yourself, what are you doing here ? (the not known tie, I meant)
Thank you for joining. So many of my ties will never really join...But are here to view...
Love, peace, and safety of privacy will make better communications between people of the world.

Until I write again about inspiration...
Inspiration emerges from different subjects, when you look for it, or even more spontaneously, from near or far. from reality or virtuality.
In an expected moment, or completely unexpected.
Sometimes the same inspiration returns in a different edition years later.
Look at one thing and create something different.. listen and feel something else.
Because sometimes the inspiration emerges unexpectedly, a result of one thing or another.. I know that someday I will create this image, which will come out different, from what I saw in my mind's eye...
... after digesting, processing.. timing. An image that develops during its creation, depending on its time... and can develop into another image later on.
A flash of a moment.. immediately comes a slightly different flash.. and in another 2 moment.. two flashes of ideas.
Within seconds of thinking, I see something much more important or a part of the initial idea, should I put it in my composition.. or will it be a new composition.
If at all, undecided.
Inspiration expresses a certain enthusiasm and desire to create.
My work has harmony, calmness, its own rhythm, and pleasure.. even if it seems that my composition has no sound.. surely they have, a variety of sounds, audible or inaudible, in different rhythms.
I should mention that I often create with music in the background... which adds another touch.
I can feel the inspiration now, and create the piece immediately, or sometime later.. even years.
It's not how strongly I feel inspired... but what life dictates.
Sometimes I write down ideas that I will implement in the future, or not...
And when the idea pad fills up and I create other different things...
I don't have to go back to the same lists or create them. ( Unlike the past yes )
The great similarity over the difference... the opposite.. with the similarity.. the great difference over the similarity.
May we have reasons for inspiration in a more creative and inclusive life.
Because life is an inspiration...And inspiration is life.
Love & peace.

Maturity is learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind.
Self-respect, Values, Morals, or Self Worth.
Being a mature woman... I think how true these words are.

Selfies.
The Selfies were taken in Aug 2017. Collage was made today using my digital works of Irises.
ME Only can decide for myself of what to show, or not.
It is my right to view my personal photos in FULL Privacy.
It is my RIGHT to work on my artworks, designs, or photos, in full privacy... Since not all that I do, is meant for ALL EyEs to see...
This is how it should be... FULL PRIVACY, At my computer and my life in private. (including phones).. and any fact of ME.
Me only can bring.
What Is done with love, can be felt, or seen... This goes to photography as well.. and especially to portrait photos.
Since LOVE, Told me not once..
" It is not the photo... It is YOU, That is beautiful."

At the moment I am not visiting Flickr - I am sorry.
I post in several other sites... For those that are interested. AW, RB, FB & My offisial site.
www.redbubble.com/people/colourfulmagic/explore?asc=u
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After all for how many sites do I have to pay ? And for how many years really. Especially paying Yahoo every month. Food for thoughts. It's about time - They pay me, for my work.
A collection of recent selfies.
Towards the end of each decade of age, my dear parents remind me, especially my mother, that I will soon complete a decade.
what is soon?
Several years before I turned forty, my mother reminded me that I should get ready soon, I'm forty years old... It was about four and a half years before I turned forty.
Five and a half years before I turned fifty, my dear parents joked that I would soon turn fifty.
You exaggerate, I replied, I have a few more years.
In the last year, when I'm approaching sixty, in about a year and a half...I noticed that my parents don't remind me of this fact, but I remind and remember to myself, or remind them of this fact.
The years fly by... and as we get older, so much faster.
In my last selfies, a woman approaching sixty, who originally had a strong belief in herself and her abilities. This belief was instilled in her when she was young. A belief that has not been forgotten over the years, although it has changed.
This belief fades in the face of heavy collective espionage... which significantly burdens life... and adds to the pains of life, which obscure this belief.
I remember this belief as part of the secret of my magic.
When basic and natural optimism fades and is replaced by systematic pessimism, of some of those around me.
Even if I don't want to replace my optimism with pessimism, reality shows otherwise.
That faith in personal choice in privacy has been lost.
In such conditions, the expectations are small to almost nothing.
Somewhere faith exists in different percentages, and I must remember it, for the purpose of strengthening my further path.
Every post of mine is and will be dedicated to the freedom of privacy.
Using my textile design, as a cover for a virtual dream journal.
Somewhat amused by some of my dreams in the distant past, later realizing the importance of some other dreams as a window into my subconscious, in my attempt to solve them.
Some of my dreams are predictions.
Some dreams are worth remembering, others are of no importance.
A very significant past dream brought me to study, write, and do personal research on my dreams.
In inspiration, in order to remember, and to create... I choose to use fragments of dreams that are significant to me and combine details in an abstract design way, with writing details that I find possible for the post.
Asking myself to dream only of the best possible, which can become a reality in my life.
Some of my best dreams will become reality.
Thanks for visiting.
Happy safe dreaming :-)

2 Selfies 2022. Background Nira's designs.
Because the years fly by. And we all go through many different changes, I wonder..
If you had appeared in front of me, would I have recognized you immediately, in a tenth of a second? or not?
Look familiar.... (?) Or be able to react, immediately.. ?
I think not necessarily... because you won't necessarily recognize me, and you'll be able to respond in a split second, or not.
Some say I haven't changed at all, I don't think that's accurate.
May we have a joyful, safe life..
Thanks for visiting!

Collage of several portraits of myself, during the safe years of internet.
Good to remember the times it was taken, or done.
For better times,
Hopes for safety of photos, or work, in internet...
Perhaps it's a time, for a new invention of taking photos, that not need being download on a PC, or phones.
UNTIL THEN...
Material for thoughts...

In the framework of three-dimensional design, during my time as a student at Shankar College.
It was my free and creative choice to create and design fashion accessories. 1983.
In the photos, I wear a Fimo necklace, combined with large dried and painted natural flowers.
For my ears, earrings were designed using Fimo and also hand-painted cellulose. Embroidered all around
the main picture:
Zoom into a belt I designed a few years later, in 1989.
The necklace in the picture is indeed a necklace intended for display, and I only used it for these demonstration shots. I used the earrings at that time and years later.
Decorative belt, I really used on this orange dress... from time to time. (but not only.. more variations)
All these accessories are part of the fashion accessories I designed in the eighties, like many different accessories later.
These are part of my creativity and my development as a designer & artist.
I see fashion accessories as creative items, an inseparable part of fashion, and fun to use, for those who suit their character and personality. Everyone according to their personal taste.
Without a doubt, fashion accessories have their own energies... and contribute to a creative atmosphere, inspiration for some, and an individual feeling.
For me, personally, as a designer and artist, fashion accessories are required, just like any other item of clothing that is worn.
May we know to choose, what fits with each as an individual person, no matter what the "other" think of it.
It is indeed Part of the Personality.

Thanks for visiting.
Love and prayers for peace.

New composition of old photos. (March 2023.)
The original photos were taken on my birthday Aug 2007.
Inspiring by what was so close to me, then
The photos were taken in the studio's garden, located at my parent's home.
Accessories designed by myself.
Going back over the years... remember many photos that were taken once upon a time.
The same photos take me back even for a moment to such a different time.
In many ways.
I always liked to be photographed... and there were times when I was photographed more, for several reasons, beyond maturity.
Since I have become an internationally famous artist and designer, I see the importance of images more significantly.
These photos were taken when I was 43 years old.
The change that occurred in me is not only external but essential, and not the change that I would have expected to occur.
I remember optimism as a natural way for me, so... lots of creativity in different creative fields.
A lot of work for long hours, all days of the week. A lot of investment in family, on its various sides.
The first years of Internet activity, without fear of espionage.
Which makes so much more possible, good friendships...
Looking at my photos or others freely. without voyeurs of others who are strangers to me.
Being or expressing Loving-kindness to many, quite naturally.
At that time I was seen as charming and rightly so.
No photo of me can be distributed, without my knowledge and express consent, just like I can't be photographed without my permission. The same goes for my family members.
My gratitude goes to those who followed and supported me all the way through the creation on the Internet and in general.
With prayers for true peace, safety in privacy, and all that implies. with love.

Second dream, second image of the same.. Night to Morning.
Feb 28, 2023 - 5:42 A.M.
Before sunrise Arrival to soften a night of dreams, with the difference from what I personally know as mine, in the hair (air) color and texture.
A newborn soft in months, like new beginnings for the complexity which can also be natural.

Watercolour. 40cm x 50cm.
My series : Words of Importance.
Love is an illusion of what we feel about a loved one... Or as we sEE the subject of our love, in the EyEs of our mind.
It can become stronger with the understanding and knowing of the other.. Or it can fade away into a memory... Or NOTHING.
There are many shapes of LOVE.
There are many ways to LOVE.
There are many ways to express LOVE.
Love is changeable, especially with TIME.
A lot was written about LOVE... Much more, I could write about LOVE, But the MORE, I will leave for you to say...
Since LOVE has POWER..
And Since with the POWER of LOVE, I create... (not particularly for the other, but to life)
May we all know the HAPPY SIDE OF LOVE
May it be understandable, every minute...
Quoting myself all the way of this image info.

Taken, March, 26, 13. The background Emek Izrael landscape.
Gilboa, Israel.
For me a breathtaking landscape... Visiting the place, once a year this season (usually since 2007)... and always get excited.
My name, Nira came from the word, Nir (male) which means plowed field. Perhaps this is one reason why I love so much the fields...
I remember days of childhood traveling by car with my parents, when my mother used to say...:" Look at the carpets "... Yes, she meant to those same fields.
More will come...................
Thanks for visiting.
Happy warm day!!

Early in the morning, I woke up with a surprise from a dream,
which I continue to dream a few moments later.
After decades, without meeting you,
you appeared in my dreams... rarely in my thoughts.
In my dream, you join from the right side,
as if expecting me to make a unique creative bottle for you.
I will curate it with creative content just for you.
You are preceded in this dream by two people on the left,
with whom you have no connection.
When dreams appear about people I knew from the past,
or thoughts about them...
it naturally raises questions...
Thanks for visiting.
Happy safe life to all of us..

Part of my virtual Diary of Dreams.
Feb 28, 2023.. From the middle of the night to early morning - 2 Dreams : 2 images.
3:30 A.M.
A short scene from a dream and its power, even if only 2 seconds.
Instant awakening without having to experience its sequel.
The immediate shock from the intensity of the dream event.
Inspired by reality events for the heart's content (not mine)
Hoping it's not a prediction.
The dream experience will remain private although enacted through design use.
Prayers for a better world.
Have a splendid weekend.

Presentation of products, using my artwork: Orange Shades of Ornithogalum Dubium. Printed @ RB website.
Inspired by the Orange color shades of Ornithogalum Dubium.
February, March 2023. Aquarelle. ( Without using the pencil )
Every day I look at the orange flowers on the table.
Flowers which live in water for several weeks.
Their bloom changes from day to day.
I feel how the inspiration permeates me and the desire to paint them.
After four weeks, I start devoting my time to them, a few mornings.
While painting the flowers change.. and some new ones bloom.
In photographs:
work processes, in a temporary work environment at my parents' house.
In the mirror I am the one taking the picture.
Some of my paintings hang on the walls.
My sources of inspiration come from my life.

She wasn't dreaming of Roses...
There she stood, when he, as if offered her handful of sand..
He asked her :" Are these real? "... "Can it become real... ?"
She took the sand in her hand... and said to herself in her dream just sand...
YET, In her hand it become few seconds after to sand with FISH.
Part of a real dream, i had many months ago.
Thanks for visiting.
Have a splendid day!
