it's MY BIRTHDAY soon!

I hope when I turn 20 a miracle is gonna happen. Like the sun shining for example (even though computer says no) or that I meet someone who will be giving my life a new direction. OOOOR I save someone's life, or I wake up with no more hair on my legs.

Estremadura

This dry region just where Spain boarders Portugal, is the new centre of my creative interest.. at least for the next month.

I'm talking traditional costumes here. Folkore. A mood. A palette. A project. Knitwear design.

And just like with the dress, I will blog about the different stages.

My dress.. samurai inspired


I am so proud to present my dress you, my lovely readers! I got pretty good grades, and measured by the amount of work I put into it (especially compared to others) this was quite surprising.

Do you remember my endless posts about starching? All this talk about me trying to achieve a paperlike effect? Does it makes sense now?? :D Tell me if you like it!


Realisation of this sunny morning:


Infact ALL OF THEM.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

It's ok to be crazy for a good reason. Love is a good reason ;)

WAH

My mum says my blog is boring! Oh isn't she so right???? It's shocking, and true. So new inspiration needs to flood the dry fields (wow: egypt references all over the place). Good enough we started already yesterday drawing and painting and it feels all like spring!

The Rock Ball

Last weekend I was invited To the ball of the AIRBORNE 2nd Battilion, who returned from Afganistan in November. It was easily one of the best nights of my life. (The reason for that might have been the perfect chemistry between my date and me..)

It was very intense to get a peek inside the US Army. We got to see the best of it, but at the same time we got to understand what hell is waiting beneath the celebration and the beautiful uniforms. Later in the evening, when people were tipsy, some soldiers started crying for the awful things they had seen, some got very aggressive. It was so sad to realise what they go through, how violence is their job. One said to me: "Those people, who want war, have never seen it."

The ceremony was very beautiful. There were about 300 people, or maybe 500 or even more. Hard to say. Someone said 1000, but that seems a bit much to me. First we had cocktails, our dates introduced us to everyone, and the etiquette requested them to salute all the higher ranking officers. Before we sat down around the tables, we heard a speech, the flags were presented, two prayers, remembrance of the fallen, another speech, followed by a lot of toasts, including a toast on Obama and one on the ladies.

When the formal part was over we went dancing. I couldn't have enjoyed this night more. We had so many interesting conversations, took hundreds of pictures. The mood was overly friendly and everyone was congratulating each other. Enough said, check out he pictures!

I got to try on his uniform!!!





Ethan Peck

Before i get to post more interesting stuff, I surprise you with something nice and shallow..... :

My new Actor crush!!!!!






He looks nice, but the best thing about him is his voice. It's so sexy. That's why I insist that you watch this interview with him. And when he described his dream girl I almost started jumping like a happy dog thinking "It's me, it's me!". Funny how in my last month of being a teenager, I really behave like one :D
