Um cheirinho de todas as coisas que vi e vivi em mais um adorável Primavera Sound, cá no Porto,  // A taste of everyting I experienced once again at the lovely Primavera Sound music fest, in my home city Porto, Portugal. 

Até para ano! // See you next year!

Jelly time!


Finalmente. Chegaram quarta-feira passada, demoraram pouco mais de uma semana, depois de mais de dois anos à procura e pouco mais de um desde o post que lhes dediquei. E que apaixonada que estou! // It finally arrived last wednesday, it took less than a week, after more than two years schearching them and less than a year since the post I dedicated to it. I'm totaly in love!


Lately, on my skechtbook


À parte dos rápidos apontamentos assíduos das viagens de metro, não tenho tido tempo para grandes desenhos a não ser para este tipo de coisas, rápidas também por sinal... // Despite the usual quick sketches during the metro rides, I haven't had any quality time to do any kind of fine work but this kind of things, very quickly indeed...

A couple weeks ago me and some college friends attended a glass fusion workshop, in Marinha Grande. We stayed at the local Orbitur, in S.Pedro de Moel. The location was beautiful, the beaches were amazing and the pinewood oh, breath-taking. Also, to change a bit from the daily course routine, we went to Alcobaça to visit one of the most prestigious portuguese glass manufacture, Atlantis, where we were allowed to see the employees working, merging and shaping the glowing glass. Then we visit the city monument, Mosteiro de Alcobaça. Later at night we went to Leiria's popular fair to have fun and play in the carousels, eat some junk food, gums and cotton candy. 
In some next post, when I gather and give some final touches to the pieces, I'll show some of the works I've done during the workshop featuring the casting and fusing techniques.

Photography work for college about one of my most loved photographers, Elina Brotherus, and inspired in one of her concepts. This concept also reminds me so much of Friedrich's Wonderer Above a Sea of Fog, one of my favorite paintings.
