Almost like Christmas

I find it very hard to wait until I reach home, I often open the package just outside the postoffice :) This great package is from Ana (thank you, you're the best). I've also got a package from Lisa S and from Alyssa, but no photo of them, thank you! And a big Thank You to Amy for the signed book :) Thank you, you made a grey week much brighter.

How to get started as an illustrator, written by Nate Williams.

all those links made me dizzy... : ) (why do i make these smiles, i hate them, kinda)

that image looks like yarn or weaving into a page at first...but isn't it ink.

Andrea Tachezy said...

to mansuetude: have the same feeling with the stupide smiles.
Camilla, somebody told me about a gallery with the heads from P.Rada.
They are approximately 8cm high, porcelain and cost about 80 euro. When I will go to the center, I´ll visit the gallery and if they allow me, I´ll take some pictures for you.

Thanks Andrea.

Mansuetude, it's not ink it is... I think it is oldfashion photocopier :) Like Man ray. Do you know what I mean?

a friend made something similar with special paper sensitive on warm.

lyllos dej, har du sett hur fin din sidobild på en brun rot matchar med det blå gräset i din nya bok!

mansuetude said...

{thanks to Andrea for that word of confirmation: felt bad after i wrote my note...like a person being negative on a happy post. wish there was a better way to smile/add emotion, inflection to words online...} Images might do better here.

I know Man Ray as a photographer mostly who hung out with artists and poets: to google him might help. >reproduced< by photocopier & the texture jumps up 3D? is it cut and glued on too? Or just high contrast..?

Loved link how to be an illistrator: young creative writing students could learn so much from studying illustration and its ways.

Don't you worry about your smiles, at least not on my comments :) I make smiles all the time too.

Here's a picture from Man Ray

lovely packages, i love everything ana does, infact, hoping to post her earrings that she did with abigail on my white blog month...

which is why i'm here, i'd like to post your polar bear picture if you allow, it's a beauty and so seasonal and relevant to the wider world issues.

i hope you get more bright days (or more fun packages). it's raining here so i'm using it as an excuse to hide in blogland for an hour.

where oh where did she get that awesome tape?!

mansuetude said...

...thanks! yes...smiles. : ) " ) ;0

:\ ilikethisone! what does it say, i'm a crooked liar?

;} (nowiamwicked?)..sigh.

i love the image you send...did some like this with hands in dark room photography--but this: the chord with its switch ^plugs into^ a thought i was writing yesterday *my whole body is a hand chorded to touch* and Man Ray (you) offers a switch a chord and a hand; shadow rich (to turn off and on) feeling. a coincidence man Ray would like. (too much coffee and poems).

Cally said...

Thanks Camilla,
I'll let you know when I post, you have so much that speaks of the beauty of whites.

ana ventura said...
