childhood memories

This drawing has a very sad story. On the left is mini me, imagine me with my new red straw hat! Can you picture it? It was gorgeous! In my city it was this kind of park that had animals. Oddly enough some of them where monkeys. I went to see the monkeys, but either I got to close or the monkey was as curious as me. So he stole my red hat and ATE IT!! I was so sad.
The experience was so strong that for years I didn't where any kind of hat.

favourite thing

I remember this day... who would tell that after months of avoiding going to Lisbon (for various reasons) I actually would start to enjoy go there! I have this thing about crowds... I don't feel good around them, so I avoid them. But before that even started I actually enjoy my subway rides. Specially because it was perfect to sit or just stand still and watch people around me. Just watch people behaviour. It always helped me clean my mind.

broken promises

Everyday I go to bed (and because it's always after midnight) I say to myself today I will wake up early. Yeah... about that most of the times it doesn't happen... (unless I have an appointment with someone, then I will rise and shine... but I fail if the appointment is just with myself).

fruit

Did you ever notice how most of the fruit nowadays as a brand?
Sometimes it seems that everything is branded. and that's a thought to think about more profoundly another time.

BIG

Big versus small.
I've been feeling drawn into thread since I was little. I miss play with it. Maybe next month I will be able to do it. Either with embroidery or even sewing things.

RING

thoughts about rings. some like bling, I just like it simple and plain (in black or wood).

IN MY BAG

Believe it or not, this is pretty much what I carry around most of the times, and that's why my bags have to be huge.

BED

It's the bed where I sleep every day. It's the bed I have in my granny's house. And love all about it! The metal, the history, the fact it reminds me big summer holidays when I use to stay there for days and days. How couldn't I love it? The blanket it's actually in my bed and it reminds me my granny everyday!

Today's #desculpashámuitas challenge theme is secret/secrets. So I decided to draw a few of my major obsessions - because they do part of my secrets!

This is not an accurate drawing of what I see from the window of my house. But it represents what I like most to see when I look at it. I also like blue sky and the sunset that often looks beautiful from my window. But nowadays what we have is grey sky and also like it (specially when I don't need to leave indoors).


This is my office window. Since the backyard cats found out that could look inside through the window they come visit me everyday!

Sometimes All you need is close your eyes and jump!

For my my mother is someone that I look to when I need a piece of advice. Therefore for me, if I had to choose a word would be Wisdom. The perfect animal for wisdom is and owl. And to continue a past drawing (that I offer to my mother on a mother's day) that I called Wisdom Mother, with a Owl with a little owl. (it may be a cliché but for me it works a lot... oh and if you wonder I considered my father Father Bear, because he is big and cuddly - among other things.)

Folhas... Folhas de papel, muitas sempre à minha volta!

what is under my umbrella?

the weather as been crazy with rain, wind and cold. but inside is warm and I'm bursting with ideas and projects.

porque hoje fazia sentido revisitar este desenho!
