Words come out at night, when i’m about to close my eyes, when i loosen up the guard and let go. They run about freely, whisper in my head. They morph into sinuous creatures and puppeteer my thoughts.

Tired eyes for a Sleepless Mind,
i wish that my Heart was more, of the Fearless kind.
I sleep in Daylight,
’cause the white Ghosts can’t be seen,
I stare at the Moon, right,
until the sky turns grey, before the sun kicks in.
Without the Sun i can’t stretch my lips,
the cold numbs my Hands and i lose my grip.
Frozen fingers await those who Hold onto things too long,
so i’m letting him go, but don’t think i’m strong.
// FROZEN LIPS & GILDED HEART.

Deep in my Sleep, I feel her Eyes staring at me into the dark. Wild Animals, restless, shaking from fear.
I know they have been hurt before and tracked a thousand miles.
I know it will take a hundred Sunsets for Her to Trust again.
‘Know that she’ll long be watching me, as I slide into sleep, soon after sunset.
Long before she dares closing an eye, keeping the other on my breath, tracking my Dreams.
She’s only trippin’ asleep, and I wish she could fall with me. Fall in love, fall asleep in my arms.
And till the Night comes, I’ll keep lookin’ for Stars within the black moons she wears, under her eyes.
– black moons are for sleepwalkers and dreamers, of the Vivid.

This week in makeup, part III.
The Face Painting class round #2, even more difficult, but truly enjoyable (and stressful, but i suppose that is a good sign!).
So that’s it for this weeks classes, fun has really started! ..
This week in makeup, part I.
[ Red Mouth and sophisticated eyes, more visible bellow – never thought it would take that much effort and preciseness to realise this look. But well.. it did!!! ]
>> And thanks to Eloise for being my model on this one, she was so tired she was actually falling asleep while i was doing her makeup, which was great in fact cause she would stay perfectly still!!
Thursday was an exhibition rich day for miss Poppins and her friends (!).. this was one of them, on Street Art, all under one roof with live demos.. Nothing much to say besides the fact that it was very color-intense and graphically rich.. so enjoy!

When Winter comes in and you start getting cold, you better keep yourself warm at home, and enjoy some cocooning time. When your home happens to be rather cold too, then you better keep yourself busy..!
Every day, i try to do something that will make me grow in some or open my eyes a tiny bit more. The two can of course be linked. it is not difficult really, but i just try to let it happen and plan it as little as possible. I am becoming allergic to planning things out. Even if it’s something fun with a friend. All of a sudden the planning spoils all the joy out of the whole thing, i feel stuck somehow. It is really silly and not “normal”.. oh well. Anyways, often, a short walk does the trick. It brings you experiences, sights or people who make you grow or open up, when you least expected it. I almost got run over by a cycle yesterday. It does not have to be on the happy side always.
So today i went for a walk, walked so far i thought i should take the subway back, but i had forgotten that there were still strikes going on and i got literally squeezed and soaked in a million people’s workday sweat and worries… uuh. But that long walk brought me to an artist residency / publicly open art workshop spaces i had been meaning to visit for quite some time.
Very insightful.
So the make up Era has begun indeed, and it’s been a very exiting and intense week (or has it been two weeks already? Time goes. and flies die.. anyways..), that got me running all over the place, physically and mentally, with a few logistic changes in my life as well.. things that took me away from this blog. I shall come back soon with some glimpses of museum painting(s) or some makeup stuff.. soon.
Meanwhile, a couple of mood-shots from under the attic – where i think a lot, and sleep a lot less. Just because it’s pretty. and because it’s been pretty hard to climb those steps while i lack the energy a good night of sleep would give me. But that’s on the plan for this weekend.. starting now.
