Puff...

The other day the city woke up this dense mist. Scary!

My cat yesterday's afternoon.

Well, exams are far behind and half of my Winter holidays as well.
Secret: I like to dissapear during holidays. I love to just stay at home and draw and paint and sew and go walk in the neighbourhood taking pictures of... stuff. Is my way of feeling free of everything and everyone. Of course, many people (especially some of my friends) hate that but I just hope one day they'll understand that THIS is what I do, the only way to feel free and extremely happy all the time.

Anyways, I have been doing, not much really... except of drawing (a lot) and thinking (a lot) and go over to my cousin's house (a lot) and having fun in this hermit little-short holidays I'm having. I watched a lot of movies as well, and today I have 1, 2, 3,... 14 movies to watch. OMG! Well, yeah, part of them are just for inspiring, the rest are for personal enjoyment :)

I'll be seeking in your blogs for pretty pictures to draw so... be happy! you'll de draw by me :P
Nah, seriously, I'll take pictures from your blogs (with your permission, of course) and then draw them in my sketch book aaaaaand after that I'll post them in here.

What else?? My, I thought I'd had more to tell you but it seems not.

Today I've learn: I'm a bit of a crazy person.
Hugs and stars.

Inspiration Day: Xul Solar

Weather: cold, windy and rainy.

This week the weather was just perfect, just the way I like it... with all nature dancing in the cold wind and inspiration coming down on me with every raindrop :) But I my throat aches!
Anyways, it was a good week, I went with my Drawing class IV (from Uni) to the Natural Science Museum (here in La Plata, Buenos Aires) and it was really awesome. I've always loved going to the museum, and drawing and taking pictures there was something I was longing to do for a while. Bees, beatles, butterflies, birds... I love drawing fauna, it's like, don't know, just fun to do it and it kind of teaches me a lot about figures and body structure.
It was a good week also because I finally decided what to do (regarding my life and likes and etc); so, next year I'm gonna start an other new career: "Political Science and International relations" which will let me develop the social side of me I was always eager to express (not sure if that is the right word!). And, that I want to take Fashion designing more seriously and make a living out of it by designing Prêt à Porter and a casual brand with t-shirts, shirts and hoodies alone (more like Ready to wear).

Hum... the inspiration for this "Inspiration Day" is an argentinian artist named Xul Solar which is not a recent discovery but I am digging in his work (homework for Uni) and I really love his vanguardist way of painting. He worked mainly with worlds and creatures he invented himself, flags related to argentine nationalism and some other cool stuff.
I leave you the link to his Museum (for he was one of our greatest artist back in the early 20th century) if you wanna know more about him.

My latest acquisitions... aren't they cute?? ♥
-the moon stone ring (made by an artisan friend) and some hair clips-

So, this is everything for now.
It's rainging heavily outside and thunders and lightnings are all shaking the sky... I love it!
Have a great weekend!

Today I've learn: pizza and chatting 'til 7 am with friends is so bloody good!
Kisses and raindrops.

PS: HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!! ♥♥♥

Cold early mornings

"Perfectly Perfect" by Elizabeth and the Catapult

The morning is about to end in about two hours and I already found two awesomeness: this video which is so cute and funny, and a japanese designer who is just amazing... Everlasting Sprout... check it out, his designs are very artistic and he creates very appealing figures: a mix between classic, mori-girl and modern design using mostly wool and organic fabrics.

I had a very very very long and exhausted week, very! Nonetheless, yesterday I brought home two of my friends to finish the photoshoot for the expo I have next month at my fashion design course. It was an extremely cold morning -which was perfect really- but we freeze taking all the pictures in my backyard and the weak sun did not help much. Anyway, the pictures turned out awesome and I learnt a lot about how to organize a photoshoot and what kind of directions give to the model, etc...

from my last collection "L'Obscurité": "Dew" dress.

What else? Well, I'll go back to my knitting... it's being a long time since I last made an amigurumi and I really miss doing it. So, I'll start again, or try at least... I still have a pile of homework for Uni... no matter, I'll make an effort, knitting is one of my relaxing activities so I MUST go back to it before I go mad with all the other stuff. creepy smile*
So, have a great weekend! :)

Today I've learn: getting up really early helps to discovering new things!
Hugs and smiles.
