A REFLECTIVE ANGELIC CREATIVE HERMES WEEKEND

hey:)

 how was your weekend? i hope it was filled with joy! 

 i happened to have a sadness week!
what DOES brings me satisfaction though 
is 
that i know
i am
 loved:)

the problem... i am not enough....or so i tell myself...the source where these thoughts came from is coming from a place of love though, i know this but still it managed to bring me down! it''s been exhausting so this weekend i decided to take it easy, to get back to my place of joy:))) my sweetness has been of help! 2 mornings in a row now she has been mjauing outside my door at 4.15am...!!! the first morning i thought i was dreaming hahaha, but NO there she was. so she has kept me company jumping up in my bed licking my face before starting cleaning herself:))) such a way to start my weekend days of saturday & sunday. next weekend though, it's back to my ballet & rhythmic gymnastics classes.

it turned out being a fun weekend, so i know i made a right decision of it being a time for reflection while devouring charities & pound shops with some other vintage clothing shops. there has been mornings packed with podcasts and hours of harry potter magic while walking in the woods. afternoons in my nearest park, peckham rye common. finding things that other people feel like they do not need anymore, like furniture & vinyls:))) organizing my little place and devouring everything shirley temple:))) gathering inspiration for our, faerie tales of violette, future magazines. 

as
 always
 capturing every moment:)

 the above is a mixed media art piece never to be sold since i have been using the magic of tim walker (the front image & lower right image),but it will be hanging framed on my own wall:) i've been using the art of image transfer (some examples here) & encaustic art.
