An incredible artwork by Carnovsky - a Milan based artist/designer duo (Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla). RGB's technique consists in the overlapping of three different images, each one in a primary color. By using different light filters, each of the layers becomes clear.

Things to do before you die (Part 1)

Posted by Unknown Selasa, 21 Agustus 2012 0 komentar
Here's some of the most awesome things we think you could add to your bucket list!
Stay in this igloo village in Finland - they're heated! A truly unique experience inside the Arctic circle.
Bathe in the Ganges river - Purna Kumbh Mela is a Hindu pilgrimage where Hindus bathe in the waters of the Ganges for purification.
Do the world's highest bungee jump - standing at 321m high, the Royal Gorge Bridge is currently the world's highest legal bungee jump. Are you brave enough to take the plunge?
Solve a Rubik's cube - although if you start one now you could be going until you actually kick the bucket...
Do a skydive over Mt. Everest - you're probably not going to get a better view of it anywhere else!

"I Am Committed!"

Photo from Seville, Spain at the Palacio Andaluz


I love these dresses!  I love this style!
As you may already know if you know me or have ever looked at my blog or website 
with much interest. For instance, I have a page on this website called Flamenco Passion 
and I have a Online Photo Album called Spain in Ten.


Recently, I subscribed to a newsletter from a flamenco dance company in 
Tucson, Arizona, Flamenco del Pueblo Viejo.  
In their most recent email, they announced the 

I decided to check out their website. 
. . . And then I found this: 

OPEN CALL to DESIGNERS, MODELS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, FLAMENCO RETAILERS, FLAMENCO FASHIONISTAS, BOUTIQUES, and ARTISTS.
Love fashion?  Love flamenco?  
Be a part of the Tucson Spanish and Flamenco Festival Fashion Show!
Throughout the years, fashion has rocked the flamenco world with traditional and innovative costumes for occasions such as Sevilla’s annual Feria celebration, theater and small venue performances, and flamenco parties of all styles. Lately, flamenco flare has branched out to everyday wear all over the world!
The Tucson Spanish and Flamenco Festival, now in its fourth year, would like to offer you the opportunity to show your skills and show the community what it takes to create a flamenco fashion masterpiece. Anyone who is a fan of flamenco style can incorporate flamenco fashion into everyday ensembles.  Participating designers will also have the opportunity to sell selected items at the Festival’s Flamenco Boutique! On Thursday, September 27, 2012, this dynamic fashion show will kick-off our weekend of festivities.  Last year’s Fashion Show was a huge success – one of the festival’s most popular events – and once again this feature is sure to excite! Come join the flamenco fun!



The Temptation! 
What followed were several days of changing my mind back & forth several times... 
(Because basically, I am a chicken.)
It appears to be almost 2 years ago exactly 
that I entered a sewing contest with much enthusiasm 
...only to be disheartened.
From my Sept 10, 2010 Blog entry


Of course, my designs always seem to focus on RePurpose,
ReDesigning, ReCreating & ReCycling other garments. 
So I gathered up some of the things that I had in the closet. 
Things that I knew could use a new life. 

Then I went online and searched through websites from near and far 
looking at the flamenco style - both traditional and modern. 
My Pinterest Collection of Flamenco Style 

Here is a short video with some ideas....




Finds from the Closet.

And, the Application was Submitted! 

So, here goes.... 
Chopping dresses in half, shredding sleeves, 
slicing skirts, searching for fringes, 
hand sewing flowers and gathering laces.

Happy
Thrilled
"Why did I decide to do this?"

Angry

Disappointed
 
"Oh that one looks good."  


..

World's oldest trees

Posted by Unknown Senin, 06 Agustus 2012 0 komentar
Some of these trees have been around since the last ice age!
Methuselah is a bristlecone pine tree located in the White Mountains, California, is thought to be around 5000 years old. Its exact location is a secret to protect it!
Llangernyw is planted in a churchyard in North Wales. It's a 4000 year old yew tree. One can only presume the church was built around it!
Fitzroya Cupressoides is a conifer located in a forest in the Andes mountains. It's thought to be at least 3500 years old!
The oldest tree in this post at around 9500 years old! Old Tjikko is a spruce located in the Dalarna province of Sweden - looks a little bit sad all by himself!
