Doctor, I Have A Cavity Plus Rag Flowers Or Ashamed Padesca

Here are the brooches flowers i mentioned in the previous post.
These were made with pieces of tissue that were at my room consummating some space, and because i dont like to throw things away, i couldn´t discard some rags i had without giving them a good final destination.

I must say i wasn't very interested in doing more things this week...But i did....

Sooo....on Tuesday i went to the dentist and tantan tan tan...A great opportunity fell on my lap. Despite only having gone to this new dentist 3 times, it seems that i gave a good impression to the girl ( my dentist ). She refered me to a dental laboratory, where i'll do the administration and when my formation is completed, the molding part....and i apologize if i'm bragging, the schedule is beyond excellent, but the payment is even better....
Let's keep our fingers crossed so that everything goes well and i can save some good money for my studies !!!

Continuing with my colleague story from the last post.

Before the second year ended, our IAC group was already formed (6), while the CenFA group were only 3. We all got together and formed one of the five groups...during the holidays, we invited a fourth memeber to the CenFA part, supplementing the large group with 10 elements. Despite knowing that this fellow had a very dubious work conduct, we also knew that he was a well of ideias to explore, therefore, we decided to give him a chance....
....BIG MISTAKE....-.-'

We started the 3rd year full with ideias and references and didn't took to long to reach a basic ideia. Perfect And Imperfect.

I must say we were the group with most projects and almost from the beggining, this colleague, Paulo, missed, classes, meetings or group research...
During the first trimester, we warned him several times about this same faults, but the thing continued and with explanations that surpass the intelligence of anyone and because there were to many precedents, the apologies were very dificult to accept. We are talking about a 25 year old male who love to sleep.
Toothaches and headhaches that lasted for weeks, improper disposal of days...i mean....go to the damn hospital...there were weeks when he only appeared in just one afternoon. Things weren´t bad, were awful and from the moment he missed a group research because he thought that some other colleagues wouldn't appear,we, the CenFA part stopped to count on him. It began to be impossible, always explaining the creative process and the reasoning line that the whole group followed.
Halfway through the year, we realized that the topic under development, no longer applied to what we wanted....Therefore we decided to bet on the dimension theme...
So...blá blá blá.... time passed and he keept missing and we returned from the internship, where he got expelled...yes...because he didn't appeared....with this, together with an extensive list of faults, he was FINALLY  "asked to leave and come back in the next year".
Ohhh...free at last!!!!!!!
... but before he totally disappear from the scene, he had the nerve to say that despite no longer being at school, he would continue to support us... Sweet... if a person was never there before, how could he be after??? The nerve!!!!!!

Yes, it is true that Paulo lent money to the first materials purchase, but it is also true that after his departure, he made no attempt to recover his money, so after his pathetic attitude, there are many reasons  for him to be ashamed...besides, he didn´t even came to see our final show...Bad luck for him....

Someone Shoot Me In The Eye

Estes dias poem-me a pensar na merdinha de vida que tenho e se vale tudo a pena... parece que é um habito isto das pessoas me deixarem........

Amanhã há o verdadeiro post...hoje estou apenas triste e isto foi uma pequena pausa das lágrimas.

Brooches With A Trip To Invicta Or Ashamed Padesca

Another busy week...

I have had many things to show, but it has come a continuation of last week's problems.

For the first time in 3 1/2 years, i saw things get really ugly between me and my boyfriend. After a few days without us talking, the speech wasn't very inviting to a better relationship and in a death fear that the best thing i have might disappear, thursday morning i put myself on a train to Porto... For those who don't know i live in Lisbon and he in Porto....My biggest fear, when i arrived, was that he might not even be at home, but at that moment, any non pleasant ideia haunted my head, luckily, he was there. still sleeping in his bed...we talked for a while, or at least i did the most talk, but we made up...=)

So...during this week i finished my first cameos, they aren't quit perfect, but they aren't that bad either... I'll continue doing some experiments, the thing could be better if i had molds.... At the same time i did other brooches with hairpins on it...i'll show them in the next post.

As i said in the previous post, i got a wrong final grade, so this week i went back to school to receive my new diploma...sadly, it wasn't able yet...

But returning to a place that was our "home" for 3 years, allows us to see some familiar faces again, this time was a former classmate and PAP member, who turned back when i appeared...sweet!!!!

At the time i thought that the cut of relations could be because, this colleague, Paulo, borrowed money, when he was still a part of our PAP group, to purchase materials and that same money has not yet been handed to him.....

...But then things become clearer.

I'll explain...in the next post.

They Ate 2 Values In My Final Grade

I know i've been missing, but only because i had some lack of internet, lucky me, this post was already written.

The rain has been coming, although these days the weather was wilder, the cold is here to stay, particularly here where i live, there's more fog, but i don't mind, i really enjoy the cold.

So a week ago was the School Presentation/ Start of School Year, but instead of the usual ceremony in the Tend, this time the reception was at the pier, where 1st year class were introduced to the school, the 2nd and 3rd class made some performances and to students who completed the course (ME), were handed diplomas.
I think that's a common habit to wonder about the newbies, who will be really up to the end and who in a few weeks will give up, and because the school is small and harbor few students, we know this kind of things quickly....Yep, we gossip a lot....
But the truth is that those who now leave, will always miss their first time at that school. That little pride in having been selected to attend in that place, find those who shared with us the bittersweet taste of he admission process...the latent enthusiasm in the eyes of those who are already there.
I can afirm that i was very lucky with the colleagues i've found, even in a large class, always existed a great complicity between us. Of course, as in all families, there was always one or two black sheep, but generally, we were good neighbors to each other, in fact, i made great friends, some i believe, for the rest of my life.
Despite the bustle, it was unfortunate that some of my old colleagues didn't appeared, but it was good to see the faces of the few who were there, both colleagues and teachers, people who supported me a lot and were a great help to my personal and professional growth.
After the diplomas delivery, where i noticed they were mistaken in my note, 2 values below from the real one, i went to Joana's home, a PAP fellow, where we were watching our year's end show, among other school things.

I photographed basically those who i was with, cuz i really don't know when i will be with them again.

People here - David, Ruben, Camilla, Marcella, Me, Chico, Sandro, Foca, Joana, Johnny, Nico e Mauricia.


So last saturday was a workshop day!!!!
I ventured myself in the biscuit and here's the result.

For a begginer, it's not that bad. I must say that what gave me the most pleasure to do, were those details in the dress, the flowers, the curly hair...now im just anxious to start making my own stuff, although it will not look like the things i did in the workshop...but its always exciting to learn new work techniques, but who knows me, knows that i don't specially do or like this genre of things...but thats for the next post.

Even If I Cann't Find Your Vagina

I promise that the title has a purpose.

I brought some images from the Zombie Walk. From inside it doesn't look that bad.

A few days ago, i went to lunch with a friend. Because he lives about 30miles away, whenever he comes to town i try to put him on my agenda. He and another friend were super flawless, when i lived in Porto, phoning me every day, and taking into account some not so pleasant factors, it was good to count on them.

So we went to a Chinese restaurant and i must say that in the few i went of this genre, i never had such difficulty understanding what they were saying, i mean, they sounded like they had bread in their mouths.

At 4pm, there i was, entering through the tattooist door,who had this lovely anchor heart tattooed on his forehead. He was really nice and i enjoyed his work, so now im crossing fingers so that finally i have found a decent place to tattoo. I mean, for my first tattoo, the guy was great, but then the next year, he wasn't  at that place anymore. For my second, the guy would only be at the shop for 2 weeks and for the third, i just didn't like his work on me, the tattoo was ok but it could be better. So now i have a cool key and a beautiful spider's web and i'm hopeful that next year the artist can be the same.

One of the things i enjoyed about this tattooist was the fact that his work didn't have that typical appearence you normally see with other tattooist work. I dont know, it's just different, see for yourself, i leave the link to the store´s myspace ClockWork Tattoos.

I bring now my second flower.

It was made for my final year's show.

Our drama was based on a trip to the 10 Dimensions and our scenery, the inside of a boat. Our costumes had colors from sea and space and as expected, the stripes, a tribute to sailors.

In spite of myself and 2 more colleagues being from the backstage, on show days, we combined our clothes with the performers. White, black or blue and stripes.

So i made this one to use in my hair.

I used:

• 
  
  stripe fabric;
• 
  
  a black gem;
• 
  
  hot glue;
• 
  
  scissor;
• 
  
  round mold;
• 
  
  chalk;
• 
  
  bobby pin.

Just need to follow the steps from the previous post.

This was actually a little bit easier, cuz i didn't used the tulle. That simplified the process.

Usually what i do when using the safety pins, is to glue them on the back of the flowers and put some tissue on top of it so it won't come out ugly, but with the bobby pins, i just glued the two ends of the tissue, so there's a little space for the bobby pin. I hope the images help.

About the title... I saw this movie recently Away We Go and it is absolutely beautiful. Its so unbearablee cute. And i thought how funny and adorable it was when he whispers "I will always love you, even if i cann't find your vagina".

Thats it. Enjoy.
