Thinking... a tattoo?!?!

I know a lot of people are happy with it and more and more have them these days.

Personally I'll never get one. I am a Lightworker and I don't feel it gels with that.
It feels as if permanent ink on my skin affects my aura and the energy I exude etc. etc.
It feels like dimming my Light, tainting my Light Temple (aura & body).

I've never come across anyone who feels the same way but that feeling comes straight from my Inner Being & Inner Knowing & Guidance.

No judgement, that's not why I'm telling this.
Just sharing my personal views about my choice to not/never go there.

I just went into the garage to have a look with fresh eyes after a good night's sleep.
And OMG! I love it!
Can't wait to get going with the wings, but that'd be daft as I then can't get to the rest I want to do.
So there's that saying... patience is a virtue!

Hihi, thank you, Slim!

Thank you so much, Stormy!

This is how far I got today :)
Second sleeve and the gown.

It was a lot of hard work and once doing either front or back of the gown I have to do the other side too, whether tired or not.
For some reason I'm struggling way more with it than I remember from some 16 yrs ago. Possibly because this is much larger and much different style.
I got there in the end :)

Once this is dry I can do the details.
Hair & wings will be last.

Indeed, hihi.
Next week she'll be here!
I can begin to count down the days :D

Thinking... YESSSSSS!! We just won the football match against Turkey!
At first it was crap, then suddenly it got real good. Kept me on the edge of my seat till the last second.

** that is football, not Am. football.

Thank you, and yes, for me as well, hihi.


OT - Well, that's it for today. I'm shattered!!

Got fabric around the bamboo wingframes now, and managed to get 1 sleeve done. Trust me when I say that wasn't easy!

Then there are silver armbands and shirt. There will be a white loose top/tunica over that so the silver will just show a tad.
Which is why the silver mess on the belly area isn't a prob, it'll be covered up later on :)

Now I forgot to do the 2nd & finishing wrapping of the hands before doing the armbands, doh...



I've put a rolled up piece of plastic in the sleeve to have it dry in the shape I want.
Paverpol doesn't adhere to plastic so I should be able to remove that later on.
Should... Fingers crossed!

PS The wings will likely be the last thing I do so I don't damage them whilst working on the clothes and hair.h
I intend to make the wings mother of pearl white. I've got powder for that to mix through the white Paverpol.

I've started with the next project: a statue of Archangel Christiel.

I want one in the garden where I've made a portal for Unicorns & Lyra but since AA Christiel is less known you cannot find a statue anywhere.
So I decided to make one myself from Paverpol (textile hardener).

Didn't have much time this week and making the 'body/frame' was a helluva lot of work.
Just now I've begun to dress it up, but only a few thingies.

The first beginning. I bought a torso and an egg for the head:




It's got arms (cut them from styropor then wrapped them in papertape), gave him a nose.

Today I changed the stand and attached the wing frames.
I put the 'skin' on the face, arms and hands (hands will get another layer).

In the meantime I've also done some silver accents, will post a photo of that later.

Can't continue now with the rest of the clothes as the silver parts will have to dry first.
And I'm actually quite tired. Was a lot of work today, even though there isn't much to show for yet, hihi.
The sleeves have already been cut though!




It's 70cm tall :D

I watched "Expedition Bigfoot" a while back.
They had discovered that Bigfoot does not stay in one location, they move around depending on (I can't recall, deuh, haha).
But they based their expedition on that, knowing exactly what their timeframe was to find bigfoot. And knew where to go next after that.
It did work as they did find evidence, IR footage, footprints, hair samples and so on.
They also experienced that Bigfoot uses infrasound.
At various points during their expedition all of them were exposed to it and suffered side-effects. One so severely he had to be taken to hospital.

Also scientific proof that Patty, the Patterson-Gimlin, video is not a fake but a real creature, aka Bigfoot.
They even managed to calculate her height.

They also had scientific proof that it is quite easy to make yourself invisible. That's not Sci-Fi anymore and it stands to reason that a species has the ability to do that.
That would explain the footage of shadows while there was nothing to be seen. But clearly something is moving and casting the shadow.

They caught something humanoid with Lidar a few times while there was nothing to be seen with the human eyes. Although once you could see something with your own 2 eyes...

Another one on handheld Lidar of which they showed more angles in the episode than in this short clip, but alas.

They also captured it plural times on IR, at one point in a hotspot one of the team was surrounded by at least 9 tall humanoid shapes!!
The other were elsewhere around the lake, one told her she had to get the hell out of there as it wasn't safe.

People saying there isn't real proof... watch the show.
And what more proof do you need? Seeing one slaughtered and dissected?
To me it's more than enough proof.
If you need scientific proof, plenty of that around. I mean, IR, Lidar, sounds, infrasound, all either recorded or checked out by experts, IS proof. Incl. the hair samples. It's scientific.

Plus what Rock said: all indigenous people around the world know a version of bigfoot. In Australia, Asia, US, and so on.

Thank you, really sweet! I haven't been very active on here of late, hihi. But it's nice to be back and see all you regulars again :)

Sounds wonderful, seeing your girlies again, and how exciting to move to an entirely different country!!
Although I can imagine you're also a bit sad to leave your pupils behind.
And a long visit with Mark, wow!
Things are looking up.
Wishing you a wonderful summer time!

Yes, she's such a cute li'l thing, isn't she?!
10 days to go, then she's here with me!

Thinking... Is DM permanently going back to the US?
Or is it a holiday?


Also thinking... it's going to be a crap summer with this kind of weather. And doesn't seem t change in the foreseeable future...

Thank you, Slim!

Thank you, Merry!

Thank you, Julie :D

Now it's wait and see if they'll actually use it...
They know it's there, but habit may make them decide to go for the space under the conifer hedge after all...

I took a lot of cat hair from their baskets and put that in the straw. Hopefully that will deter any mouse from going near the cathouse, let alone inside it!

Thank you so much!

Currently not painting.
When spring arrived there was a ton of work to do in the garden.
And I had an inflamed ankle that to the wind out of me for 2 months as I could barely walk. Had to sit with my foot up all the time, so couldn't paint either.

It'll come :)
As it is I've got some other create things done like making a cathouse and next is making a 70cm tall Archangel statue for the garden :D

A while back I decided I wanted a cathouse for my cats so they have their own place to go when it rains and I'm not at home.

I have two sliding doors at the back, making it difficult to have a catflap. They need me to open the door.

I loosely followed the design of one you can buy on Amazon, but made mine a tad larger.


The very first beginning. I was so proud to have that done, hihi.



Days later.... Bottom house done, beginning the 2nd top house. As you can see there's a passage to the right at the back to go from 1 to the other. That way they can never get trapped, there's a 2nd exit.



I bought cheap cat doors on AliExpress. I hadn't planned that, so had to adapt the design.
And I got impatient, wanted to see what it'd look like in the end, so I started painting before the cathouse was done.
And those bannisters... so cute, but lot of cussing to get them in, hihi.



The larger back roof hinges... getting that done was nightmarish, but happy I did that. I can get into it to clean it or whatever.



And this is it... the brown plank will be painted English red as well.
It's on legs so it's 15cm off the ground.
There's straw inside for the cats to burrow.
Straw doesn't really absorb moisture and keeps warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm.
I'm really chuffed with it, having made this myself, but boy was I glad it was done as it was a helluva lot of work!!



Roosje was totally happy in and with the straw!

Thank you so much!!
weven though I've seen her last Friday I'm beginning to get impatient, hihi.
I want her here so I can see, hold, cuddle her every day :D
Gotta wait another 11 days... Going to get her to take her home on the 13th of July.

This was her last Friday, 6,5 weeks.





Especially in that last photo she seems quite big...
But then you see her drink with mum and then it's clear she's still a wee kitten!
