Diary 246: A Blessed Be Candy Cute Week

blessed be





















"harness the power of today. seize the blessings of today! make something happen, enhance your life, make someone laugh, help a friend, love, love, love!"
- steve maraboli

last week was a blessed be week, full of flowers & cats. i found the house where i belong in my opinion! i too created a real cut & paste collage, have not done that in so long now:) it always is such a good little time going through all my ripped out inspirations & i have to have theee table at franklins to do this. 

top to bottom:

1&2 my blessed be collage i made at franklins. 3 notting hill flowers! someone's stunning garden. such joy it gave me that afternoon. 4-9 beauty in dulwich at the moment, captured during my morning walks. 10 whole foods. can't get over this cake! 11-13 see that house with the violette flowers? omg! that is how i wanna live. i saw the lady owning it in her morning gown making coffee. she'll probably sit outside enjoying it:) it's st.johns beauty. 14 as you know, i went to the swedish church yesterday. this is another part of it. 15&16 ripped out inspirations from vogue us as snapped by me to remember make up, hair & coloring of styling. 17-21 me as: blessed be alice, this is my dress i wear when creating so looking kind of mad;), meet the blooming cat lady & gredelin gräddnos22 this is how my week ended:) perfection at franklins.

tomorrow i am to shoot my second self portrait series, i am a dream. i am playing here. the main project is my 12 characters, the first one being the angel. here is a second taste (the first one can be viewed here) from my first session, no post production yet, just raw images. hope you like it.

A Blessed Be Sunday

"den blomstertid nu kommer
med lust o fägring stor.
du nalkas, ljuva sommar
då gräs o gröda gror.
med blid o livlig värma
till allt som varit dött.
sig solen strålar närma,
och allt blir återfött."



the above quote is from a swedish hymn called "den blomstertid nu kommer" and it's one of my favorite songs of all time. so serene and beautiful. why i bring this up is because it was sung at the mass this morning in the swedish church in london. it's about summer bringing life back again, or rather the cycles of life. now i am sitting in the church cafe blogging together with lots of swedish newspapers and gossip magazines plus swedish candy and pastries:)

& here is such a beauty detail from the swedish church:) every single time i am here, i take the same picture! the light from outside makes it look a tiny bit different every time and it also varies where i sit of course so the angle changes too.

i am soon off to get a o couple of magazines at selfridges before heading back home to dulwich for some franklins perfection where i am to devour all the sunday newspaper magazine supplements:)

happy adorable blessed be sunday i wish you all

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”

1 ripe banana
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract/ vanilla stevia

heat oven to 180 (ca 360)

mash the banana and put in the oat mix together with the baking powder and vanilla. put in a little loaf pan and have it in the oven for about 20 minutes!

if you want, save a few slices of the banana for decoration.

i adore you all

I Am A Magic Spell

the angel told me this morning:)

i've just created my first character out of 12:) the angel was my first of this self portrait series i am to create over the coming year ( the one starting the 14th of february). i found this amazing space in the woods that is full of white flowers and thought it would go perfectly with my white lace gown. tried various techniques with my canon too. it's to be a fun project trying new things so that i evolve as an artist and too to expand my fantasy's imaginations:)

i am a magic dream
&
this angel adores, adores all of you!
