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.

Menu of Inspiration

I was going through some shit days... I smiled and painted and illustrated as anything was happening but I was blue. Just idiocies about love. Just that. So, as I'm feeling much better now and need to organize some things I'll post some of the things that are inspiring right now (some always inspires me!).

Alexa Chung.

Maggie Gyllenhaal in the movie Nanny McPhee: the Big Bang.

Mori-girls.

Late 19th century.

Artist and illustrator Arthur Rackham.

Pie.

This is some of the things I've been sorrounding with, it came out several things, cute, vintage, and weird things... that I'll be posting soon, of course :P

I've taken from Alexa Chung her style and her beautiful personality, from Maggie Gyllenhaal performing in the movie Nanny McPhee: the Big Bang her clothe and bright colours. From Mori-girls is of course all her culture and the kinds of things they are used to use like cotton clothe, some fur and things that have to do with forest and animals and books. The late 19th century had amazing fabrics and what I like the most is the female figure, so... beautiful. While I took the colours and the style of drawing of Arthur Rackham (whom I deeply admire). Last but not least I choose as "the" food for this menu of Inspiration: pies or tarts, because they're just too delicious. XD


Alright, tomorrow I'll be visiting my friend Sole because she told me she had some clothe that belonged to her grandma that she wanted to give me!... I'll tell you then what I got. :P

Today I've learn: playing Jumanji after a long while is very difficult!
