how was your weekend?
did you look for the beauty & magic of this world?
did you say thanks for one more day to devour?
i have turned this into a daily practice!

my weekend looked like this:

friday was art class with joanna teaching. mixed media was the topic (one of my faves) & because of joanna's teaching & presentation of the class i now know a project i am do devour. it involves a bible. i need to find the perfect sized bible with antique font & sturdy paper:))) can't wait to find this treasure and to start my project. it will be a section (i think) in my bigger project "the golden circle of violette".

saturday & sunday = yellow:) at least dress wise. the sunshine dress shown above is a vintage one, can not for my life remember where i found it. both mornings were also devouring the beauty in the woods. sunday i went to my gymnastics class. i really love my teacher here:))) i can now do quite a good hand stand and i dare to do some of the easier flips and such. when i left he complimented me on how well i had done:))) i am so in love with this. and can't wait until i find someone to teach me rhythmic gymnastics since it includes my love of ballet & dance in general.....more of a performance kind.

at fridays art class

i always bring inspirations to class:)

mixed media perfection. the alice print is from dover books who creates books with prints that artists are legally allowed to use! brilliance. a wonderful company!!!

the almost finished piece looks like this

while going through some magazines in my house i found the magic of
kinuko y. craft

i so wanna be able to create beauty like this
such a huge blessing to have found this artist:)

lastly then there is
kent!
this is sweden's magic. a band that has been around for about 20 years. i love this band. it's the only one that has stayed with me and it's the only band i still buy complete albums from. their latest album just came out & sadly it's the last one since they will go separate ways come fall after a last tour. the songs/ texts of this band has given me endless of inspirations ideas; too having someone else to sing about things that has been going on in my own mind, the feeling of i am not alone. this band is too the last bond i had with my ex M whom too loves them (i know he would argue that it's not the last but that is how i feel). anyways....i have the album and it is amazing:))) such ideas this one is to give me.

då som nu för alltid
this was the first message
the announcement
then like now forever

finally
2 years ago this wonder came to my life and she became part of my second self-portrait, the story of the candy cake witch! i was on the beginning of a journey and violette was there
