for me the new season started this week:)
noone can be happier than me in regards to this
it
=
back to my ballet/ jazz/ theatre , acrobatic gymnastics, writing poetry & art classes!
oh dear's happens though;0)!!!
always in the universe of violette
most of the time cute ones thank goodness
monday
i tried a new ballet class sort of waaay beyond my capability haha shortly after the start of this class the teacher came up to me, darling what is your name? i said alice...then he smiled and said; well alice how much ballet have you practiced ? i mumbled embarrassedly....sort of a tiny bit in my teens and some beginners classes last semester:))) he then informed me (like i did not already know...)that this is an advanced class BUT you are more than welcome to stay:) during this class though he treated me so humbly and gave me hope by praising me when i did things beautifully (me being hopeful...). i am to be back with him since the energetic positive spirit of him was awesome. honestly wherever you are the least skilled person usually means you are in the perfect place to grow/ practice your craft.
sunday
there is SUCH a cute guy now in my acrobatic gymnastics class:))) this is of course exciting but even more so, i am progressing by each week. as someone said on one of the many podcasts i subscribe to, progress = happiness:))) my handstand is getting a million better and my backward rolls finally happens, i am less scared too and trust my teacher 100...i mean he is the one i trust to help me if need be.
tuesday
art class finally started. continued working on various art works and finished one of them:)
saturday

ballet - pure technique
there are Such Lovely Creatures in this class. pure joy to be part of such a group. it's incredibly difficult but that makes such a wonderful challenge. and we laugh! a lot.

fall
we are having a summery start of fall here in london and i am so grateful.
this is the season when we & nature starts all over. to live organically seasonally. to devour each season for its own beauty like appreciating everything and all of us for our unique sensibilities and beauty. we are one!
the sun was casting its love upon these beauties
which i captured
&
transformed
in to a
love
haven
beginnings are confusing times so please bear with me:)
so
...
here are
some thingies that are developing
for my
golden circle of violette
faith hope love
universe
my third ever written poem
i
named
a calling of angelic joy
the poem ended up on top of this mixed media piece
which i created
for my faith hope love project and was not yet sure how to proceed expect i knew i wanted a message, little did i know that a poetry class was to arrive:)
this is the piece i finished in tuesday's art class
joanna, my teacher,
call it
a pea soup:)))
so that is what i'll name it
in art class

another works in progress
am to soften up the edges of the photo with encaustic art (beeswax with pink pigments i think).
the photo is a double exposure of jessie dunne wearing valentino.
checked my timehop the other day...this SO feels honestly ages ago now. i was such a different person then and we are talking only 3 years ago. anyways, i was a behind the scenes photographer for crash magazine during london & new york's fashion weeks. my first show to cover was tommy hilfiger!
