I drew this face on a pebble for a dear friend of ours. Just before sending, it "asked me" for a short photo-session...:))))
The background and the light are not suitable, but the inspiration "caught" me, while preparing the package for the post-office...
Sometimes the simplest of materials give the most profound and beautiful of images. That is lovely and the shades of meaning in each pose speaks volumes.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you!!!:) In fact these are the "real" photos, wearing the mood of the moment!
ОтговорИзтриванеMade me smile - you can make wonderful puppets from anything, my talented puppeteer friend!
ОтговорИзтриванеHa, nicely done.
ОтговорИзтриванеLove it.
Thank you, Gretel! I want to try to shot a shoooort amateur movie with papercuts...:0)
ОтговорИзтриванеThanks for encouraging me, Rick! Maybe I'll make a new "photo-session" with another pebble-woman...
ОтговорИзтриванеYour little multi-colored dancer has given a beautiful performance.
ОтговорИзтриванеBravo...please take a bow!
My dancer bows to your applauses, Frances!:)Thank you!!
ОтговорИзтриванеBy the way, this is the most emotional and sweet moment at the end of a performance - I adore it!:D
Много красиво си го изрисувала, Роси!!!!!!
ОтговорИзтриванеМерси! Видях обицата и така започна всичко...
ОтговорИзтриванеАма и вие сте "изрисували" чудни чушкови натюрморти!:0)))
ОтговорИзтриванеаз съм щастливката! :)))
ОтговорИзтриванеунася се в шепата ми и сега...;)
прекрасен е, роси! благодаря и тук...:*
обичам го!
и очаквам още личица...
а морското бижу от илия (особено гривната) ми е толкова любимо...
прегръщам ви...:)
Ех, Дени! Ако знаеш как ме усмихна това "щастливката!" С обич ги направихме, затова те радват...
ОтговорИзтриванеПоздрави на красавицата!
С много мисъл за теб,целувки от двама ни!
Amazing!!!! The photoshot resulted amazing!
ОтговорИзтриванеThe face is superb and all the atmosphere you put into the drama of the photos really worked!!
Nice job!
Thank you so much! I blushed...:) This was a pebble with a hole from our Black Sea coast...
ОтговорИзтриванеI've just finished your gift. I'll send it tomorrow!!!
It's a beautiful pebble and you gave it life :)
ИзтриванеThnak you! Can't wait!!
:)))
ИзтриванеHello! I'm busy this afternoon, so I'll send you the package tomorrow!!! I hope it will reach you safe and sound.:)
What a sweet character! It feels like I'm watching an animated short story... :)
ОтговорИзтриванеThanks a lot! I'm thinking about that... I have already some stories of the kind in photos (I've posted 2 or 3 of them here), but I must take a stand(??) for my camera, so that I could make precise movements...:)
ОтговорИзтриванеOh she's so graceful! The combination of light and shadow, and the earnest dancer is so beautiful! Thank you Rossichka! Like Amelia I loved "reading" her story...I'm sure your friend will love her!
ОтговорИзтриванеDo you know who she reminds me of? Here's a picture of her, almost like your last photo: http://www.artnet.com/ag/fineartdetail.asp?wid=425388733&gid=119555 (Martha Graham was one of the pioneers of modern dance)
Dear Kristien, I'm so glad to see you here! I thought you've stopped blogging. Thank you for this incredibly sweet comment! How could I suggest that my dancer will provoke you in such a way?!! Martha Graham gracious movements? Oh!....:)))))))))
ОтговорИзтриванеMy friend whom I gave this head is Denichka - she commented above. She's a very talented young woman - here's her blog:http://www.denodada.blogspot.com/
I hope you are doing well with your studies and keep creating glass jewellery!:)
Heya Hya Rosicheeka... you know that could mean red cheeks I guess, ahh you know, two days ago I walked along the beach near our house and saw a rock with a hole in it, just like those at the red sae, and I thought ahh Rossicheeka! and I p icked it up and it broke... I think it was just hanging together waiting for me to walk past , it was about 160 milliaon years old I thinkl, because it was from bwteen the layer Permian and layer Triassic that it was borne before it fell upon the sand.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you so much for visiting me a few weeks ago.... I have been working far too hard getting a book together with a nice lady in Manhatten, so I am very very quite.... don't tell anyone I was here okay? Hugs from oz :) :) I hope you are well and Hans Christian Andersen is still jumming in your paper cutouts
err nake that Humming in your paper cutouts!!!
ОтговорИзтриванеHumming like resonance !!
:)
Hello, Andrew! It's 7 o'clock in the morning and it's too early for me to get up, but I had a reason today. I was just thinking what to do now, made a cup of coffee (although my eyes are closing), switched on the laptop and saw your comments. So... that's the second reason to stay awake!:)))
ОтговорИзтриванеLast year I was talking about rocks with such holes like the lady's head above. This summer my husband and son brought lots of such pebbles from a special place at the seaside and we made pendants for friends or drew upon them with children. I was always thinking of you!!
I wish you good luck with the book (in which I don't doubt)!!
And if you have some free minutes, read my posts about my short stay in Portugal(I've been practising my guiding skills, having been encouraged by you!)... You'll see...:0)
HCAndersen might be mad at me, because I forgot about papercutting - my favourite, special scissors mysteriously disappeared and it's not the same without them..:( But it's high time to "get in hands"!
ОтговорИзтриванеThe story of that old piece of rock, born "before falling on the sand" upset me a lttle... But it had obviously waited for you! And now only you and me know its story.
And all the future readers of this post, of course...:0) Bye!!!!
Such fun gestures with your 'puppet'! He has a very expressive personality, what a shame to take his head off to post. ;)
ОтговорИзтриванеJess x x
This lady can breathe and move at my friend's house, too! She needs only a paper serviette for a dress or a blanket!:)
ОтговорИзтриванеWow! She is really dancing! That's imagination: just a pebble and a piece of paper (?) and there she is: a fragile figure with a beautiful tragic face dancing like a butterfly. I love her.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Hedwig!! Yes, this is a paper serviette.
ОтговорИзтриванеI love her, too, but I'm glad she's living with our friend - fragile like her and very talented -

Thanks for visiting me!:)
Thank you for showing me her blog. It's wonderful!
ОтговорИзтриванеThere are calendars with some of her art pieces, published in her blog - for 2011 and 2012. We have them both at home and love them! I hope she'll make a third one! You can see a link on the right side. Bye!!
ОтговорИзтриванеOh, only the book is there - I didn't know! But it's too late to order a calendar, isn't it? Sorry!
ОтговорИзтриванеOh, this is very nice, bravo!
ОтговорИзтриванеMerci beaucoup! C'était très amusant!:)))
ОтговорИзтриванеso lovely, your photos
ОтговорИзтриванеand the face you created on the rock~
Such words from you make me smile. Thank you!
ОтговорИзтриванеThese pictures quite take my breath away. They are so utterly divine. Have you thought of making short movies in this way. I could hear this beautiful lady dancing to music. Thank you so much, your talent is incredible :D
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you for your kind and supportive words on my blog too. You are such a kind friend and I'm glad to know you.x
Your words mean so much to me, now I'll dream the most beautiful dreams.:) Thank you! I'm glad to know you, too, Kimberley! As far as I remember we started our blogs nearly at the same time... So, "we've been together" for pretty long, haven't we?:))))
ОтговорИзтриванеYes, I would love to make a shoooooort animated movie. My son brought a stand for the camera and I could try now... I've posted several papercuts "in movement" in my blog... Like this one -

Have a fantastic week and happy new school year to your children!In Bulgaria it starts tomorrow.
how cute!
ОтговорИзтриванеHello Friend!!!! this week I was a little busy, early spring, tourists come to the valley, we have small suites to rent, and that takes time, apart from my work as a cartoonist for magazines of the country's capital (Buenos Aires) but always I reserve a minute to do some drawing on my blog. I came to thank you for your comment, oh! I regret that my drawing interpretation has not been easy for you. but, well, no problem :)))
ОтговорИзтриванеRossichka, I loved these pictures with the stone and the scarf, you are very creative, congratulations. I watched the first and liked it, then look at the second and liked it, and so to the last:)))))
Do not want to do more, and photograph, for our pleasure, say yes :)))))))))))))
OK good weekend for all your family!!!!!! and Happy Fall!
Happy Spring to you, Roberto! I hope the tourists will be contented with their stay at your place!
ОтговорИзтриванеI'm so pleased to know that you like my Lady! I waited for your reaction, thank you! By the way, this is not a scarf, but a paper serviette and it was the source of my sudden inspiration.:)))
Excuse me, but I didn't understand what you are asking me to say "yes" to???...:(
just lovely, its like a little dance! very creative and inspire!!
ОтговорИзтриванеRossichka, thanjs for all your visits, comments, and fantastics words!
Is so cofy to come to your blog! Thanks!
You are welcome, Horacio!
ОтговорИзтриванеThis is my first dancing lady. There'll be at least one more, because you and several other blog-friends were so kind to encourage me! Thank YOU!:)
Pleas do it! because is love in movement!!!
ОтговорИзтриванеSaludos querida amiga!!!
Saludos!:)) I'm searching the most beautiful dress for my Second Dancing Lady...:))))
ОтговорИзтриванеВъзхищавам се на въображението ти Росичка! :)
ОтговорИзтриванеEх, смути ме, но искрено ти благодаря!:)
ОтговорИзтриванеHi Rossichka Thank you for visiting me I hope I'm coming out of the rut I've been in !!!-maybe now with the long nights I'll get more done.I just love the way you painted the pebble -a little story book character and the colours are lovely.Are you going to do a series of them ?-I think they would be brilliant,You did a great job on your piece of pottery.I never tried it -maybe like you I might some day.I'll leave you now and I hope it won't be so long until I visit again.Mary P.
ОтговорИзтриванеDear Mary Patricia, thank you for the nice words! Yes, I think to make another dancer. Actually I'm looking for her "dress". I'll try to take the shots from one point (not changing the height or the position of the camera). I just need some time and... inspiration! If you get the chance, try to make some pottery - I'm sure you'll like it!
ОтговорИзтриванеIt'll be great to keep in touch again!
Bye!:)
so tender :D
ОтговорИзтриванеI just saw your comment waiting for approval.:) I had forgotten about this dancer! I'm gathering to draw upon sea pebbles again this summer. Hope they'll inspire me... Have a wonderful August!
