Hallo my friends ! 
Did I tell you I took part in a fantastic Photography Course in my city's Negri Photography 
Centre?
We are a close friendly group of amateour and our teachers, two awesome guys. On sunday we had a whole photography day in an isolated and abandoned village called Levi Cavour, in the Vercelli Province.
The theme of our snap shots was Silence... 


I am enjoying this experience so much, it is truely helpful for my fashion shoots... which I would like to improve.


Here are some of the pictures I took:

Embroidery portrait for the second place winners

I did think a lot about the second place winners gift... and I started sketching the cute dogs when an idea hit me! using the sketch drawing as a sample for an embroidery portrait... I started hand stitching and sewing on an oval vintage fabric, when a secon idea hit me ! How lucky was I :)

A trophy ! 

I cut another oval piece to sew down the portrait, and filled the mini pillow with stuffing... then added two double layer straps, the finishing touch to a soft trophy. I was pleased with the result :) Send it to the dogs and I heard the barks from Usa and New Zealand, one in the afternoon from Titi, and one (bless) in the middle of the night from Penny... I guess Penny is not aware of the time difference :)

Wof Wof happy dogs !

Hallo dear friends!

Well I have started drawing the portrait, and it's not finished yet, but here it is, a little peak into my studio, my drawing table, the pencils and the ink...
