back home, leave home

I've always found funny that in english the word "tense" and "intense" have the same root, while in italian they haven't. So if I say that these are tense days, it will be an appropriate explanation just in english. Because even if some things are really hard to sustain, often you can find something deeply breathing on it. Leaving out this supermarket philosophy, I just want to spend some words and pictures about a short (but intense) week end I spent in my hometown. There was cold and rain, then a bright sun showed up and in my personal language it means just one thing: sea. Or maybe two: sea, and dog.





I also found some strange little arms in my garden, I'll document it later. now bedtime.

AMAPOLA

these are some illustrations I did for my studio


here's some closeups
but I definitely prefer the illustrations that I do IN my studio.

today last sewing session with my flatmate, shes going back to her hometown (cracovia) in one week, and tomorrow I'll go back to mine for some days. I will miss badly our lazy sundays, surrounded by snow, drinking tea, joking with cats and listening to nonsense radio transmissions. how nostalgic.

new flyer!



i preferred this, less-saturated, version, but the dj decided for the first one.

these are panda days. god bless who invented sleeping masks and who gaves me the panda-eyes-shaped one.

when everything in town goes to the dogs, don't worry, there's always a supercolorpanda inside of you that solves everything.


actually, mine is wearing pyjamas.

Finally a little money, and a little time for shopping. Saturday I went to my beloved balon, the biggest vintage market in Italy. Ok, I honestly don't know if is the biggest one, and I refuse to search the web to obtain a so ridicolous information, but it is a great market for sure. I wasted my little money with this absolutely necessary stuff:


But let's go by order:

- vintage magazines: a 1938 VOGUE copy



- ABC, an amazing 60's italian magazine

monster case (+ 2 brushes)


and saturday night I went to the fabulous Camillas show where I find this special edition of Lamette magazine:



I also bought some pins


in the meantime, i found out some sticky paper and I did some stickers; most of them are already pasted in some wall, this is the last one:


I also appreciated this low cost but high quality package (as well as I fell in love with this yearning emilian singer):






If you noticed, there was also a reflex camera; I'll spend some words and pics later. now I'm just enjoyin'it.
