Palimpsest

Hello! Take a Word asked for some MANUSCRIPT in our art. Sim and Marie introduced me to the word PALIMPSEST which is a manuscript page from a scroll or book from which the text has been scraped off and which can be used again. The theme reminded me of the movie The Pillow Book and this is the result.

Girl: Etsakoi (Deviant art); Background: Center for Imaging Science.

Bluerred Memories

Hi there! My "Bluerred Memories" is my contribution to this week theme in Take a Word: BLUE. Thanks for passing by.

Background and texture: pareeerica; sunbathing beauty: Beth Rimmer.

“There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. 

My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.” 

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Hello! The theme is ZETTI in Take a Word and this my attempt. I wish it was more whimsical, but my muse had her own plans...

Thanks to pareeerica for the background and the texture. The graffiti is a photo of mine.

Olá! O tema é ZETTI no Take a Word e esta é minha tentativa. Gostaria que tivesse ficado mais divertido, mas minha musa tinha outros planos...

Turquoise world

Hi! The Three Muses challenge to us for this week is to create something TURQUOISE. 

I started with this very 50s dress I found on Web. I thought it would be interesting to match it to a 50s fashion sketch instead of a fashion runaway photo. Obviously I had to do some frankensteinization before I could have a perfect fit.  I kind of like the result.

Background: pareeerica and Daftopia; elements (hugely altered) by Angie Young and MC Designs.

Oi! O desafio do The Three Muses é criar algo TURQUESA. 

Eu comecei com este vestido bem anos cinquenta que encontrei na Web. Achei que seria interessante combiná-lo a um desenho de moda da época ao invés de encaixá-lo a uma fotografia de passarela. Claro que tive que fazer um frankensteinização para conseguir um encaixe perfeito. Eu até que gostei do resultado.

Primavera

Hello! The theme for this week in Take a Word is HEARTS-AND-FLOWERS. It's lovely 'cause in my corner of the world the Spring is beginning. Looking forward for some rain, Brasília is awfully dry this time of the year.

The lady in the garden (James Garden - Toronto) is Loretta Young in a black and white photo that I cut out and added color.

Olá! O tema para esta semana no Take a Word é Coração-e-Flores. Adorável já que no meu canto do mundo a Primavera está começando. Ansiosa por alguma chuva, Brasília é muito seca nesta época do ano.

A senhora no jardim (James Garden - Toronto) é Loretta Young em uma foto em preto e branco que eu recortei e acrescentei cor.

Sweet school days

Hi! The challenge in The Three Muses is SCHOOL DAYS and this is my interpretation. I guess not everyone have sweet memories from their school days (I had good and bad moments...), but when I found this cute vintage schoolgirl I couldn't resist...

Thanks to Carol Anne's Boutique for the sweetie  (colored) and to Dede Smith for everything else (altered).

Oi! O desafio no  The Three Muses  é TEMPOS DE ESCOLA e esta é a minha interpretação. Eu não acho que todo mundo tem doces lembranças de seus dias de escola (eu tive bons e maus momentos...), mas quando eu encontrei esta linda estudante de outrora eu não pude resistir...

Unlock your future!

Hi there! The theme is NUMBERS in Take a Word and I went for numerology. Have you ever try a fortune teller (or tarologist, astrologist, numerologist, psychic, medium)? I confess I have...

Thanks to Beth Rimmer and Tumblefish Studios.

Olá! O tema é NÚMEROS em  Take a Word e eu optei pela numerologia. Você já foi a uma cartomante (ou tarólogo, astrólogo, numerólogo, médium)? Confesso que eu já...
