peach or blush?

Whether you decide to call the color peach or blush, that's my theme of today.

Here's some old photos of me, & other things...

Me in July of 2011.
Me in April 2011.
Me in some cafe in 2009.
Me with my guy 2007.
I'm wearing the same top as photo in 2009.
Me with my friend & her little one in 2007.
Little me wearing my little coat.
It was a long time ago.

Below is an example of the paint & pass collaboration. If interested look here.

Someone in the group starts a painting then
 passes/mails it to the next person.
 
Here's what the painting looked like when I got it.

The same painting gets passed around,until everyone in the group has had a chance to contribute to the painting.

Here's the painting,
after I was finished adding my flourishes of paint.




This band is called Dawes.


 Dawes - My Time Comes  "There were moments of dreams I was offered to save

I live less like a workhorse, more like a slave


I thought that one quick moment that was noble or brace
Would be worth the most of my life.

We saw them in concert, months ago.
So I pointed my fingers, and shout a few quotes I knew

As if something that's written should be taken as true
But every path I have taken and conclusion I drew
Would put truth back under the knife.


And now the only piece of advice that continues to help:
Is anyone that's making anything new only breaks something else.When my time comes,
Ohhhhh, oh oh oh...


So I took what I wanted and put it out of my reach

I wanted to pay for my successes with all my defeats,
And if heaven was all that was promised to me
Why don't I pray for death?




And now it seems like the unraveling has started too soon,
Now I'm sleeping in hallways and I'm drinking perfume
And I'm speaking to mirrors and I'm howling at moons
While the worst and the worst that it gets.

Oh you can judge all the world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back"...

  3. Your time span of photos were adorable. Isn't it funny how our looks and styles change, yet remain the same. 2007 sounds long ago and close at the same time.

    I'm enjoying the song you posted as I type this. I've had a song by Phoenix stuck in my head all day... it's helping clear it.

    I've always wanted to try a collaborative art piece, but I'm not this artist extraordinaire and I think I'm afraid I'd get really perfectionistic and screw it up. lol
    I liked the blue you added, twirly ballerina..
