Wearing:
- thrifted shiny-buckle bronze-brown shoes
- striped socks
- thrifted Dolce and Gabbana side-zip slacks, old, had to restitch all the seams
- thrifted T-shirts and DIY T-shirt
- pink scarf, hand-me-over, worn under coat
- thrifted shawl, worn over the coat
- thrifted vintage R coat, made in Tokyo
- thrifted beret
- magic loupe O made for me
These slacks (best word for them really) make me feel tall with that vertical stripe. I'm linking these pics up to Patti's Visible Monday at Not Dead Yet Style, and the shoes of course are being linked up to Bella's fantastic Shoe Shine at The Citizen Rosebud. Scored at Value Village, the shoes may not be glamorous - they may in fact be men's shoes - but they give me a weird sixties vibe that is irresistible. Plus, I can wear them in the rain.
And... I am including a short video of a little kids' story that my partner O and I collaborated on. O often sketches on napkins when we go out and then later I sometimes digitize them, colour them, firm them up slightly, and add backgrounds and filler scenes. You could say that the inspiration comes from O and the final product comes from me. Either way it's a collaboration that works.
I hope this little vignette relaxes you. The quality is not the best. The original digital artwork was trashed a few years ago and this video is made from scans of the surviving printouts, about 2"x2", which I stumbled across about a week ago. Thanks to the Creative Commons contributors at freesound.org and the music library that comes with VideoPad for the music and sound effects.
Thanks for your encouragement on my journal sketches in my last post.
