A trupe de fantoches já completa, pronta para viajar para os dedos de uma menina pequenina:) Era para levar um mini-guião pela piada, mas fica para a próxima:)

The complete gang of puppets, ready to travel to the fingers of a little girl:) I was going to make a mini script to the story, but I'll do it next time:)

Porquê?

Há uns dias, enquanto caminhava com uma trupe de miúdos até ao McDonald's (?!) para o almoço de aniversário do meu mano Pedrocas, a Andressa (5 anos) vinha de mão dada comigo...

"Nós não podemos comer galinha...", disse ela

"Ai é? Porquê?", perguntei eu, já à espera de uma resposta 5*

"Porque as galinhas 'tão com tosse."

"Mistery of Mercy"


"Mistery of Mercy", originally uploaded by MadeWithLove.

(pillow made by 9yr old crafty Sara at Sunday School today)

I am the woman at the well, I am the harlot
I am the scattered seed that fell along the path
I am the son that ran away
And I am the bitter son that stayed

My God, my God why hast tho accepted me
When all my love was vinegar to a thirsty King?
My God, my God why hast thou accepted me
It's a mystery of mercy and the song, the song I sing

I am the angry man who came to stone the lover
I am the woman there ashamed before the crowd
I am the leper that gave thanks
But I am the nine that never came

You made the seed that made the tree
That made the cross that saved me
You gave me hope when there was none
You gave me only your Son

My God,My God,Lord you are my God...

(Mystery of Mercy
by Caedmon's Call
album: Back Home, 2003)

Just because...


Just because..., originally uploaded by MadeWithLove.

Fui desencantar este texto que escrevinhei no meu antigo blog e apeteceu-me partilhar... A foto também já tem um tempinho.


Improbabilidades
Cinco da tarde. Chego à doca e penso na última vez que tive um cenário destes só para mim. Não me lembro. Não faz diferença porque aprecio-o como se fosse a primeira. A brisa gelada penetra-me até aos ossos mas enfrento-a teimosamente. Procuro na mala a máquina fotográfica. Nunca saio de casa sem a minha fiel companheira. Parece que hoje foi a excepção à regra. Contemplo de novo o cenário. As minhas pálpebras são o diafragma da máquina e espero secretamente que as fotos mentalmente reveladas se mostrem tão perenes quanto as do papel. Os carros passam com frequência. Alguns condutores detêm-se uns instantes, como que a ganhar fôlego para o fim do dia. A quantidade de gaivotas a sobrevoar o rio denuncia que há peixe. Fazem acrobacias no ar e mergulham na água esperando surpreender as suas presas. Ocupo o lugar do passageiro no carro e deixo a porta escancarada. Quero sentir-me parte da doca. Tiro do porta-luvas um livro querido e esquecido e mergulho num mar de letras. Distraio-me constantemente. Ouço vozes humanas. Pescadores. O fedor peixilento e enebriante agarra-se às suas roupas, à sua pele, à sua alma. As canas dobram sobre o rio e esperam o precioso alimento. O sol vai descendo e desenhando novos tons num céu outrora de um azul tão claro e forte. Continuo a sessão fotográfica disparando incessantemente. No horizonte, o céu e a terra envolvem-se num abraço laranja e lilás. Aperto mais o casaco contra o corpo. Leio um pouco mais. Apercebo-me que me embrenhei demasiado na leitura quando deixo de ouvir carros com frequência e quando os olhos já me doem. A lua ocupou o seu lugar na negrura do céu e os candeeiros de rua já acordaram. Preciso esticar as pernas. Ao sair do carro dou conta de uma pequena mancha prateada a brilhar ao luar. Um peixe esquecido? Com uns passos aproximo-me. Mexe-se. Ainda respira. Observo-o com uma curiosidade mórbida. A vida a esvair-se do seu magro corpo. Imaginei-o satisfeito, nadando no rio. Um miar esfomeado dissipa-me os pensamentos. É escanzelado o dono daquele miar, mas caminha graciosamente. Olha-me com grandes olhos negros por uns instantes e dirige-se ao moribundo peixe. Pega-lhe delicadamente e, aproximando-se da berma, lança-o à água.

Self-portrait


Self-portrait, originally uploaded by MadeWithLove.

I sketched it a while back and just now was able to make it born... and here's the song that inspired me

"When the night seems so long,
you can sing a new song...
When you're weak, He is strong...
He can heal your wounded soul
and calm the storm inside..."

(City on a Hill featuring Sixpence non the richer)

Há uns dias a avó convidou-me para jantar. Fui com o meu mano Isma (barba negra) e acabámos por nos perder e encontrar numa lata velha cheia de fotografias! Não resisti a congelar o momento...

A few days ago my grandma invited me to have dinner. I went with my brother Isma (barba negra) and we lost and found ourselves in an old tin filled with photographs! Couldn't resist to freeze the moment...

I'm back... (28 Mar)


I'm back..., originally uploaded by MadeWithLove.

Em breve a reportagem fotográfica =)
Não estive mesmo em Madrid, mas sim numa cidade perto - San Lourenzo de El Escorial. O que vêem por trás de mim é um mosteiro lindíssimo e descumunalmente grande, recheado de coisas boas a cada esquina... vi quadros do Bosch, Tintoretto, El Grecco... Aquilo era um perfeito labirinto e, se pudesse, passava ali a tarde! Na volta, não fomos a Madrid =( mas a Toledo... também é uma cidade bonita. Fiquei apaixonada pela arquitetura e materiais daquela zona! Ah! E Toledo faz parte da rota do D. Quixote.

It's good to be back and see wonderful things you've made in the last few days:)

Ontem, depois de passar o serão com a minha avó, recebi mais um saquinho com preciosidades de Paris. Eram de um atelier de costura que faliu (mais ou menos da mesma altura que os botões). Hum... smells like vintage!:)
