This blog is about sewing, crafting and any other creative stuff that comes from my mind. The name "Simply Nerdilicious" is about being nerd, with style.
Remember, Nerds will save the world!Indil ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/01447495575772352906noreply@blogger.comBlogger22125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237705995190757639.post-35849079851725699222014-08-11T11:06:00.000-07:002014-08-11T11:08:08.415-07:00I got featured!!!Do you remember my friends who are planning the <a href="http://simplynerdilicious.blogspot.de/search/label/DxD" target="_blank">#nerdwedding</a>?<br />
<br />
They featured me on their blog and asked me a couple of questions about what I am doing for them and what "being a nerd" means to me.<br />
<br />
You can read it <a href="http://t.co/rsLMBHvCEu" target="_blank">here</a> (In Italian).<br />
<br />
But basically here you can see some work in progress of what I am doing for them.<br />
<br />
For Daka I chose something elvish-y and art-nouveau-ish (because that's a lot how I see Elven Things), so I went for floral and winding lines. Her favourite flower is the gerbera (which I feel is more hobbity than elvish) but I tried to embed it into flowing lines. <br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A big source of insipration have been Professor Tolkien's very own <a href="http://forodrim.org/gobennas/heraldry/heraldry.htm" target="_blank">Heraldry for the Houses of Middle Earth</a> and the masterpieces of my favourite painter of all <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonse_Mucha" target="_blank">Alfons Mucha. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dark is a big fan of star wars and science fiction so it was a bit more difficult for me because my imagination is a lot more eradicated in the fantasy/mythology land. So I researched spaceships and space monsters to find something suitable and I realised that Star wars has all these fancy symbols that I so wanted to adapt into something fluid, the way I feel more comfortable about drawing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I came up with this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I have been painting quite a bit lately, I really need to paint more but these are my first efforts and I am pretty satisfied with them.<br />
they are acrylic and wax pastels, I am taking inspiration from materials and shapes mostly.<br />

After a long long long time I have decided to revive my old blog.<br />
<br />
This is partly an exercise in perseverance and partly because I wanted to find a place to show the things I do.<br />
<br />
I want to be a lot more creative and I am really working on it. I am drawing a lot, and I hop e to get my hands dirty on crafts and sewing a lot more, soon.<br />
<br />
The blog has a new structure and features:<br />
<br />
- I will feature posts in the picture slide header and you can find these posts also under FEATURED<br />
- The menu MY_ART will take you to my drawings, sketches and crafts<br />
- The menu REVIEWS will take you to my short revirew of my favourite tv shows, books or people. I have so many talented friends that I want to have some interview with them.<br />
- IT/EN/DE » I will try to write the posts in 3 languages, but the main language will remain English, but the menu will make it easier to navigate through the posts.<br />
<br />
I will add links and feature with time and post the updates.<br />
<br />
Happy blogging!<br />
<br />
Nerdily yours,<br />

Is there a more perfect way to re-open my blog than talking about a <b>very nerdilicious Love</b>?<br />
I don't think so.<br />
<br />
And this is serious business... I have two friends (well, more than two actually), but this two friends in particular who are going to get married next year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i> ((these are my friends - cute, aren't they?))</i></div>
<br />
"YAY!", you'd think "Why should I care?" you ask me. Because the are both geeks who are trying to organize a nerd wedding, BUT they are penniless and in Italy the economic situation being what it is they are looking for sponsors to sponsor their wedding who would help them with products, services or publicity.<br />
<br />
I know this is a thing already in the US and the Anglo-Saxon world, but it's quite new in Italy and they are looking for support, they already have some pretty neat stuff, like <a href="http://www.chessex.com/" target="_blank">Chessex </a>sposoring D20s as a gift for the guests.<br />
<br />
They are Claudia and Marco aka Daka and Dark, hence the name of the blog they created for their wedding: <a href="http://diperdi.blogspot.it/p/english.html" target="_blank">DIperDI</a>. (It's mostly in Italian but they have a page in English and they are happy for every for of support)<br />
<br />
I met Claudia on a Tolkien-related online forum about 11 years ago and we shared that passion ever since, so when they posted about their wedding I figured I wanted to help with the little skills I have.<br />
<br />
So I figured I could make something out of fabric and I came up with the idea of making Coats of Arms for them, their House Banners. I am going for something fantasy-like for her and something sci-fi-y for him and also a banner for the new family once conjoined.<br />
<br />
I have been sketching a couple of drafts and I will post them after I checked with the happy couple. <br />
I am very excited about this, it is actually my very first commission.<br />
<br />

<br />
Though I failed in creating my daily crafty Adventskalender I still have mede some things and I bring good news.<br />
<span style="color: red; font-style: italic;">First!</span><br />
On December, 15th <span style="color: #993399; font-weight: bold;">The Impossible Girl by Kim Boekbinder </span>was released. And I am listening to it in this very moment!<br />
<br />
It is an amazing record, which comes with amazing art for every track.<br />
I've been waiting for it for so long and now I am super happy and satisfied! It's just great!<br />
You should definitely check it out :<br />

<br />
What are you waiting for???<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-style: italic;">Second!</span><br />
<br />
I said there are some news.. and here they are.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6633ff; font-weight: bold;">I have a job!!! w00t!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes, starting from January I will work in the Tourist Office in Hinterzarten, a village in the Black Forest Highlands (South Germany), and I'm totally glad! I have been doing an internship in the Tourist company for the last 6 months, and I'm happy that I have been employed now because it means I have done a good job untile now and that everyone was happy about my work!<br />
<br />
Mum told me she didn't want to talk to me the night dad told her I would stay in Germany to work. I can understand that. She knows I want to do this and it's a great chance for me, and she's happy for me, but I can understand that it makes her somehow sad, since I won't be going home that often anymore..<br />
<br />
And yes, today though it's Sunday, I'll have to take some Italian journalist to ourr gorgeous Christmas Market and I will probably freeze to death.. I really haven't found the right winter shoes yet! damn it!!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Third!</span><br />
<br />
It comes in the form of a sewing project.<br />
It's actually a no sew man shirt recon: I had founf a tutorial on <a href="http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/">CutOut+Keep</a> this summer fr this super easy project.. and no wI have two shirts and I have tried it. it's fabulous!<br />
<br />
You basically need to button up two shirts together and then tie the sleeves on your back, and voilà! (Click on the image to enlarge)<br />

It's vey hard to work with zippers but I like them so much!!And i think I'm getting better with every piece.</div>

<div>
This I will use as a pendant, as I need to buy new pins to transform it into a brooch but I think it 'd do a nice effect, a little steampunk-retro feeling.</div>

you've probablt noticed I'm really into brooches more than ever!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
this one is something I wanted to do for a long time, and now I've finally come back at my parents' home where I have all the sewing stuff.. sewing machine and all sorts of materials and fabrics!! YAY!!! =)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I introduce you my zipper brooch, made from a 60 cm long zipper and thread.</div>
<div>
very simple materials, but it's complicated to twist it and give it the right shape, so it took quite a while to end.</div>
<div>
I haven't decided yet if I'll make an actual brooch out of it or a belt or some hair accessoire, I don't know yet.</div>

If you don't know what an Adventskalender is, you can google it and find loads of information, but it is essentially a countdown from the first day of December to Christmas's Eve, typical from Germany, where you have like 24 small windows with chocolate or small gift inside. Everyday you have to open the window relative to the day (they're numbered) and fin something new - without cheating!! ~ which, given my love of chocolate, is not that easy ~<br /><br />I meant to, but things happend which stalled me. so I made only some works for some days.. mainly drawings, and I'm working on a bag.<br /><br />The thing is ~ hence the title ~ I downloaded this free app for my phone: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Paintjoy</span>.<br />I have recenly bought an HTC Wildfire which runs Android and now I have experimented this app.<br /><br />my fingers are not really tiny and the canvas are quite small in this free version, so the results are limited, but I must admit I am quite satisfied with what I achieved.<br />Here are some drawings I have made:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs738.snc4/65860_10150100582827806_633462805_7417662_2361425_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 237px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs738.snc4/65860_10150100582827806_633462805_7417662_2361425_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>(( first is the Nerdilicious Nerdy Man - I like how it turned out.. it was the second try I think, a bit sketchy but I could not not show him here ))<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1168.snc4/151069_10150100524017806_633462805_7417165_3064246_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 237px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1168.snc4/151069_10150100524017806_633462805_7417165_3064246_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>(( second is one art nouveau ispired female character. could be a self portrait, it is not actually. I experimented with flowing lines - which I adore drawing ))<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1189.snc4/154099_10150101046227806_633462805_7422637_7880820_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 237px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1189.snc4/154099_10150101046227806_633462805_7422637_7880820_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>((third is a random female character. I wanted to try my chubby style on this app. the round shapes I like so much are a bit limited by the canvas size and the size of my fingers but I'm rather satisfied with this one ))<br /></div><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1168.snc4/151069_10150100524017806_633462805_7417165_3064246_n.jpg"><br /></a><br />In conclusion, the app is fun to use, but not ideal for "art". Well, probably who wants to create art this way shall use a tablet device like an iPad or something. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rita Flores</span> is an artist who paints on an I pad and does some amazing stuff, you can check her stuff at her homepage here: <a href="http://ritaflores.wordpress.com/">[ l.i.n.k. ]</a> or you can follow her on twitter <span style="font-weight: bold;">@ritaflo.</span><br />Another thing you may need to create art is obviously some artistic talent and technique, both things in which I lack, but then again.. I'll never claim to be an artist in this respect.<br /><br />have a nice evening/day all,<br />hugs,<br /><br />Indil ♥Indil ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/01447495575772352906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237705995190757639.post-87704488474708733042010-11-15T14:07:00.000-08:002014-07-22T16:13:03.021-07:00Update on Kim Boekbinder's album releaseA little but important change about what I wrote in my last post.

Kim Boekbinder - the possible wonder.(about music, love, people and stuff. )<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I've been wanting to write this blog for ages but I didn't manage to come up with something for some reason or another, and now that I am up to it I'm not really sure what I want to write.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />I've wanted to revive this blog for a while now.. and I had such great ideas which - as always - my laziness made me turn down..I hope I will still make it. Sooner or later. Some of the things I wanted to do were weekly features of </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >tutorials</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >crafts</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">, items mainly from </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >threadbanger </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">(it was supposed to be my way to keep the community going on) and the internet in general.. and a series of portraits.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" ><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">portraits.</span></span> </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">this was going to be the name of a feature where I wanted to introduce extraodinary people with an ordinary life, i.e. people I have met (mainly on the Internet) who are special or interesting to me for some reason. artists, supporters, every-day-philosophers, people I admire on different levels and that have had an impact on me in these last few years.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />The first portrait of the series is one which is really dear to me.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Today, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to talk about <span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;">Kim Boekbinder</span> - the impossible girl - a possible wonder.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />Many of you already know how much I love this incredible artist, how fond I have grown of her music in the last year and a half, but there are probably a lot of you whodon't know her, and that's a pity. You should, you really should.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I stumbled upon the </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.vermillionlies.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Vermillion Lies</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> (the duo composed of Kim and her sister </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.zoeboekbinder.com/">Zoe</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">) pretty much casually on one of my last.fm rushes about one and a half year ago. Their music hasn't abandoned me ever since, as a matter of fact I am listening to them as I write. Their music was simply the perfect combination of styles and genres (in the literary sense) which I had always liked, it became straightaway the soundtrack of my days at home, or in the library while I was writing my masters' thesis. They are also one of the reasons why I have joined twitter (as I may have written somewhere before). I never cared about the fact that nobody seemed to know them - actually it was to me like I had found some little treasure I wasn't sure I wanted to share with everybody; of course, my room mates had been overexposed to their music willy-nilly.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And I must admit we had some real fun time jumping in the kitchen and singing along "Global warming - It's Hot!".</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />One of the first thing which drove me to adore these girls is that they offered their music for free to listen (and partly for download) - and the fact that they did so made me genuinily want to buy their stuff. It's a bit of a paradox, but that's how it felt, and feels even today.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So that is the story of how I got to love Kim and her music.<br /><br />In August 2009 the duo decided to go on a hiatus to allow the sisters to explore a solo career. Somehow I got closer to Kim's efforts, probably helped by the fact that at that time she was in Berlin and webcasting, and sharing the same time zone is crucial in these matters.. and it was so that I literally wrote parts of my thesis while watching her webcasts and interacting with her and other fans in a chat box - that's how she got into my thesis'credits.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">But this is supposed to be a portrait not a random rambling, about her not about me.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />The thing is, Kim has now a new album coming out called </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.theimpossiblegirl.com/">The Impossible Girl</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> which she was able to record and produce thanks solely to the love and pre-orders of her fans who donated thus buying the record in advance. Depending on the amount donated contributors got several prizes, like the download code for the digital version of the album, a physical copy of the CD, signed postcards, t-shirts, goodies songs written by request and much more..</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">this is a link to the video she made to sponsor her fundraiser/pre-order.. it urges to support art as a process rather than a product, it makes you ponder on the efforts that go into the creation of an album, it gives you an insight of her take on art and - to some extent - life in general.<br /><br /></span> <a href="http://http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9-MCDYE4-w"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9-MCDYE4-w</span></a> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />The way she went through all this process, with her ups and downs, the way she communicated constantly with her audience, her perseverance in following her goals through thick and thin, the freedom of her soul and the beauty of what she creates have been for me a great source of inspiration.<br /><br />She is to me the emblem of strength through rought times, of tenaciously wanting to accomplish something, of the ability to live your own dreams and make them real.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">She is the "don't dream it, be it".</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I may sound like an obsessed fangirl, but this is one of those positive "obsessions" which invite you to be a better self. My worst flaw that I have big dreams, but I am then too lazy to fulfill or follow them, and sometimes I don't believe enough in myself.. but the inspiration I get from Kim is that I can do it, if it really means something for me. And for that I am thankful.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I feel like I should talk about her music, but her music talks for itself.<br /><br />These are the first 3 chapters of her first solo album, the 4th Chapter will be realeased in few days, on <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;">December 15th 2010</span>.

Her music is versatile and manifold, she has both haunting melodies and funny and witty rhytms and lyrics (she even has Explicit Lyrics - hide your children!).<br />I could write for hours about her songs, and about each one of them gives me so many different feelings, but music is very personal and intimate, and I prefer that you enamour yourself in these wonderful songs through a personal journey. My personal journey was amazing, and I was lucy enough I could share it with people from time to time.<br /><br />One of the things I am proudest of is when I am listening to some artist and someone in the same room tells me "this is really good, who is this?" and I can hand down my passion for that artist to them. It happened thrice with Kim in the last few weeks, and I was more than happy because she deserves it all..my room mate, a guest we had and my couchsurfing host in Leipzig (this is another topic I am going to discuss some other time).<br /><br />Yes, Leipzig - Germany.<br />I travelled some 650 km across Germany (I live in Freiburg, by the south-western border with France and Switzerland) to go to Kim's concert.<br />It was a long journey, it was a very tiring weekend, I've travelled alone, on trains by night, I've waited for 3 hours at the Frankfurt station.. but I'd do it all again. It was such an amazing weekend, I had a great time, the concert was just incredible and Kim is amazingly sweet.<br /><br />She played at the FrauenKultur in Leipzig, a small women cultural centre, the atmosphere was very intimate and cozy.. I haven't counted the people in the audience, but I don't think we were more than thirty. Kim appeared on the stage dressed like a modern Snow White in sequins. She looked like a character from a fairytale, impossible though extremely real. Her energy filled the room with magic and wonderous talent. Oh the beauty of witnessing the making of the songs while she plays them, playing the most unsual instruments to create the right effects mingling together to become a perfect though completely experimental result. She created music, we've experienced the art as a process live. I laughed, I cried, I was deeply touched, everything was so new and famliar at the same time. And yes, she even played on a squeeky toy alligator!<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs468.ash2/74154_494701507805_633462805_7158534_8326915_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 510px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs468.ash2/74154_494701507805_633462805_7158534_8326915_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs561.ash2/148367_494701562805_633462805_7158536_3280087_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 492px; height: 369px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs561.ash2/148367_494701562805_633462805_7158536_3280087_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs976.snc4/76930_494719777805_633462805_7158969_1479961_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 374px; height: 497px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs976.snc4/76930_494719777805_633462805_7158969_1479961_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs980.snc4/75382_494720422805_633462805_7158988_7816601_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 489px; height: 368px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs980.snc4/75382_494720422805_633462805_7158988_7816601_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I'm sorry I don't have better pictures, but I was too busy enjoying the show ecstaticly to take more. And after the show she has come to me and asked me "Are you Floriana? Thank you for coming!".. isn't she she just great?<br />I only regret I wasn't able to stay longer, for a chat and maybe drik something.. my host was invited to a party and - as a guest - I had to second his choices. But it was a hell of a party - cross dressing fun! therefore, it's good nonetheless..<br /><br />It's very late now.. but I leave you with another encouraging message from the impossible world of Kim Boekbinder: WE BELIEVE IN YOU!<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiD3soB4bZ8&NR=1"><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiD3soB4bZ8&NR=1</a><br /><br />lotta love,Indil ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/01447495575772352906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237705995190757639.post-77713165411288152512010-03-20T13:02:00.000-07:002014-07-20T04:54:47.272-07:00Creativity makes people beautifulAuthentic Passions.<br />They make people beautiful. They make people intense and worth admiration.<br />Today I've been struck by this in different ways.<br /><br />Listening to music, watching art, pondering on artists and performances. Pondering on words like 'pondering', which sounds beautifully in my ears, words like 'Guadalajara', spoken in a correct Spanish pronunciation.<br /><br />I was watching pictures of some of my favourite artists and found myself thinking, why are they all so beautiful and shiny!? Are they just beautiful, all of them!?<br />Maybe they are, but then I came to the conclusion that that's because they are expressing themselves at their best, because they do things they like and love, because they find ways to express, because they are talented and they don't waist their talent.<br /><br />And this makes me a little sad because I can't do it. I'm a time-waister, I don't have a proper talent, nor am I able to foster it. I'm not the kind of person who fights, I'm one who lets herself live by life, not the other way around.<br /><br />the most creative thing I have done so far is finishing a wallet I started almost a month ago.<br />it is just a prototype, so it has many mistakes.. i messed up the top hem and i used a bias tape instead of a ribbon, which gives a worn look, but it will also get ruined sooner.<br />The seams are very approximatives, but I am pretty satisfied of how it turned out in the end.<br />I have learnt a lot from it..<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9065HmCv-saQI6jVSZ2qDMie6jfDA0AL5cHYxSPEZsq_-MN2RSE19pLu0b9g4dMvKKbcdnlOi65nixGjerWmygubw1fBcEtyLl9LYUlNuxZrSj7Z7seAhDgc8qTqAsMuALq7BeXtr57Gt/s1600-h/portaf1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 260px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9065HmCv-saQI6jVSZ2qDMie6jfDA0AL5cHYxSPEZsq_-MN2RSE19pLu0b9g4dMvKKbcdnlOi65nixGjerWmygubw1fBcEtyLl9LYUlNuxZrSj7Z7seAhDgc8qTqAsMuALq7BeXtr57Gt/s320/portaf1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450813093360948322" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6bhh-byEDpnvO9C4FjQ-f4-Ce0gOQKp-GkD63zCPCFJnENyGpbRwVFPHXcub2QEKNkBN8v20QJKz5QovqY3xEqhSJWZf9sz7FfaiJf20rIPZTap5JmyNODBcbLM-aZby5NkmTHnvoiNVk/s1600-h/portf2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6bhh-byEDpnvO9C4FjQ-f4-Ce0gOQKp-GkD63zCPCFJnENyGpbRwVFPHXcub2QEKNkBN8v20QJKz5QovqY3xEqhSJWZf9sz7FfaiJf20rIPZTap5JmyNODBcbLM-aZby5NkmTHnvoiNVk/s320/portf2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450813105458614098" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0kkR-Mftgq4AMMYnOF7epNx0lQ22VXuHPftd11x-L3tF3S86-2kaYyO0icRQIsFg3bLmr_feybjWoGzRkpj7KSNWQBrqpbPU7Z9Z4eENoi6wTohpGKMtKzFayOOF0RVQtGswHHw3YyEhX/s1600-h/portf3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 182px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0kkR-Mftgq4AMMYnOF7epNx0lQ22VXuHPftd11x-L3tF3S86-2kaYyO0icRQIsFg3bLmr_feybjWoGzRkpj7KSNWQBrqpbPU7Z9Z4eENoi6wTohpGKMtKzFayOOF0RVQtGswHHw3YyEhX/s320/portf3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450813110520224498" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div>And, ouch!

I have been recently sucked into a tunnel called BEING HUMAN.<br />As I told in my previous blog I've been totally absorbed by this British TV series, which aired on BBC3 Sundays and ended last Sunday.<br />A very sad thought, but I've been in good company mourning the end of this little TV jewel thanks to the BBC BH Blog [check it <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/beinghuman">here </a>- warning may contain spoilers].<br /><br />Those bloggers are amazing! XD<br />At first I found a little hard to get into conversations especially because they post so much it's hard to keep up.. but after a while I got to understand how it works "the ancient machinery of the world" and it's a blast!<br /><br />I am the unlucky one who couldn't follow the live blog due to regional restrictions, but I can follow the blog =) And I am so glad to the BH Production and BH Blog Team for always putting all the videos on YouTube so I can see them!! thank you!!!!<br /><br />Well, the thing is.. we (users from the blog) created our own music score to the series through a song game where we put songs we think might fit the different characters. The results are very itneresting and made me discover a lot of great songs..<br /><br />I decide to post the final playlist here in order for me to update it whenever needed.<br /><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">ANNIE</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">knockin of heavens door - bob dylan<br />The Legion of the Hungry Ghosts - Kim Boekbinder/Vermillion Lies<br />there's a ghost in my house - r dean taylor<br />There's A Ghost In My House - The Fall.<br />you can't touch this - mc hammer<br />see right through me - mobile<br />thank you - jamelia (for owen)<br />I'll be watching you - Police<br />Moonlight Shadow - Mike Oldfield/ Maggie Reilly<br />oughta know - alanis morrisette (with Owen)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">ANNIE AND OWEN</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />the thong song</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">DAISY AND MITCHELL<br />one way or another" - Blondie<br />we made you - eminem<br />Bad Things - Jace Everett<br />Your Missus Is A Nutter - GLC.<br />Bodies – sex pistols<br />blood on the tracks - bob dylan?<br />run this town - rihanna etc!</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">DAISY<br />kill you - eminem<br />Stab your back (coroner mix) – the Damned<br />Crazy - Patsy Cline (in memory of Ivan)<br />Wicked Ways - Garbage<br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">GEORGE AND NINA<br />i will always love you - whitney houston<br />please dont leave me - pink<br />wolf like me<br />Love song - the Damned<br />Howl - Florence + the machine<br />Bang bang - Nancy Sinatra<br />The killing moon- Echo& the bunnymen<br />I try - Macy Grey (before the scratch)<br />First time ever I saw your face - Ewan MacColl<br />Hurt - Johnny Cash (George trying to leave Nina)<br />should I stay or should I go - the clash (pre-scratch)<br /><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">GEORGE<br />go wild in the country - bowowowow<br />Sign of the Wolf - Pentagram.<br />The curse of Millhaven - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds<br />Bark At the Moon – Ozzy Ozborne<br />Blue Moon - too many to mention<br />hungry like the wolf - duran duran<br />can't fight the moonlight - leann rimes<br />Neat Neat Neat – the Damned</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">IVAN<br />Death is not the End - Nick Cave and the Bad seeds</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">IVAN AND DAISY<br />we'll meet again - vera lynn<br />The Lovecats - The Cure (in the eighties)<br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">KEMP<br />religious - r. kelly<br />all i do each night is pray- take that<br />God was drunk when he made me - Jim White<br />please, please please (let me get what i want) - the smiths<br />living on a prayer - madonna<br />Losing My Religion – REM</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">LLOYD<br />She blinded me with science - Thomas Dolby<br />coward - american head charge<br />Inflammable Material – SLF<br />it wasn't me - shaggy</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">LUCY<br />Bitch - Meredith Brooks<br />Christian Woman - Type O Negative.<br />Papa don't preach - Madonna<br />the Bitch is back - Elton<br />The sex has made me stupid - Robots in Disguise<br />Liar - the Damned<br />Loo – the Cult Maniax*<br />bad boys - alexandra burke<br />im a ***** ((female dog)) - alanis morrisette<br />stop – jamelia (for Lucy and Mitchell)</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">MITCHELL<br />down in the Tubestation at midnight - the Jam<br />Smash it up – the Damned (Coroners office)<br />Black Eyed Boy - Texas<br />Love Will Save You (But It Won't Save Me) - Swans.<br />sunday Bloody Sunday - U2<br />time is on my side- rolling stones<br />with black eyes - placebo<br />red right hand - nick cave<br />blood on my hands (used)<br />love stinks - adam sandler<br />My way - Frank Sinatra<br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">NINA<br />If you tolerate this (then your children will be next) - Manic street Preachers<br />She wolf - Shakira<br />Nina is a Punk rocker - the Ramones<br />under pressure - david bowie and freddie mercury?

I graduated almost 2 months ago and I didn't really sent away any CVs to any company or so.. it's just I don't feel like I really want to take my life into my own hands..probably I don't feel like I am able to face the "real world".<br />I've studied translation for som 8 years now and I don't feel like I can or want to do this as a job,but I can't do anything else.. so it's pretty fucked up.<br />I sound a little emo, don't I?<br />I know the problem it's me, my lack of self-confidence, my lack of focus and goals.. I know nobody else can help me but myself, but again I'm not sure I really want to.<br /><br />They say "the only way is through".<br />I know it's right.. but I'm afraid of moving the first step.<br />I shall repeat to myself Bilbo's words to Frodo:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:georgia, bookman old style, palatino linotype, book antiqua, palatino, trebuchet ms, helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, avante garde, century gothic, comic sans ms, times, times new roman, serif;">"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to." </span><br /><br /></div>Maybe I shall read again LOTR, it's always been a book f wisdom to me, "a light, when all other lights go out", quoting Lady Galadriel's words.<br />And again,<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 110%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span>Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.<br />Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />My mum always tells me I was born to do something great, that I wanted to come to this world at any means necessary. But I can't see what it is. I really can't.<br /><br />Stop ranting now.<br /><br />If you've been brave enough to read up to this point you win a big prize: reading my ramblings about social networking and my favourite tv shows.<br /><br />First, lately I've been pondering a lot about my relationship with the internet and social networks like facebook and twitter.<br />I started to use the computer and internet when I was a little older than the avarage internet user of these days ( I was like 19-20), I remember when Internet was a brand new thing, google didn't existed yet, chatrooms were something mysterious and blogs were even more mysterious. The first time I used to internet for some sort of social interaction was back in 2003, I was on an Italian Tolkien Forum where I met some of the most amazing people i've ever met. I loved everything about that place, we were a small and very tight community, we met fairly often, we fell in love, we fought, we had a great time. Then something broke.<br />It was only on my side, I was disappointed by some people, and I simply cut the wires with everyone.. at times I tried to get back, but then I just felt I didn't belong there anymore somehow.<br />And that's what happens to me everytime, especially in RPGs I used to play, although I kept in touch with more people there.<br /><br />And that's typical of me, I just can't keep in touch with people. I really just can't. Even people I love so much, I live in this sort of limbo, looking to everyone in a nostalgic rearview mirror, my thoughts are always there but I can't stretch my arms to touch them. And that's how I lost a lot of people, I know it hurts but then I don't change. I am pretty much similar to the literary figure of the inept, the worthless man of many authors from European literature of the beginning of the 20th century.<br /><br />Then social networks came.<br />You may think, wow! a great chance to keep in touch with those people you lost. Well, theoretically it is so, practically it is just some sort of superficial contact you have with them. And even so..I use them to talk with those with whom I speak every day via msn or skype.<br />Anyway, for me social networks have never been a way to know new people and just to track people I already knew. That's why I usually don't add people I don't know in real life..<br /><br />..that was before the Twitter Era.<br />I saw twitter the first time some 2 yrs ago, a friend of mine used it. I didn't find it interesting, or easy, and I couldn't really work out its ways.. but then some months ago I started following some actors from HEROES (Brea Grant, Greg Grunberg and James Kyson Lee), to get updates and it was funny.<br />Than I started tweeting, basically my fb statuses translated into English, and after that I started using it on a more regular basis, now I use itmost of the time! XD<br />This shows how social networks can get addictive somehow.<br />Going back on the subject, it was only when I started following Kim Boekbinder (Vermillion Lies - check more info on her and her solo album project <a href="http://www.theimpossiblegirl.com">here</a>, and on the posts below) and her webcasts, that I started adding before unknown people on twitter (those I met on her webcasts). And later people from Thread banger, the first forum I followed with interest in years after the Tolkien one.<br />And I found some very wonderful people.<br />some poeple I can laugh with, I can share thoughts with, some people I really like, even though I cannot really say I know them, but I have feelings for what they say, I care if I read they're sad, I try to help as far as I can..<br />That surprised me.<br /><br />I read a tweet by someone random that read something like "I really pity those who use twitter to pretend they're friends with celebrities".<br />I don't think that's the spirit. I mean, I follow lots of celebs (as of today i'm following only 73 ppl), but only thos who interest me. But i wouldn't say I'm their friend. I just like to know what they say, and if I have some thoughts to share i just write them although I know they couldn't possibly read them all..<br />I must say some of them are really sweet, and do their best to answer most of their @ tweets. I really appreciate that, and they make me sympathise even more. the most "answering" are Kim Boekbinder, Sinead Keenan from one of my favourite TV shows (Being Human), the staff from BurdaStyle, Wendy Linn Avignone the make-up artist from Heroes..<br /><br />...and this takes us to the TV shows bit of this neverending post.<br /><br />I've been following some 3/4 series lately.<br /><br />1. I'm waiting for LOST last series so badly.. and on february the 2nd is finally coming again. I'm counting the hours!!!<br /><br />2. HEROES - I loved the show. I would love to see a 5th season, if they do something about the screenplay. This 4th season is turning out a bit awkward.. I don't see where they're heading, how this could end in an effective way..I'm not sure I'm loving it the way I used to. Of course there are some characters I will always adore (thanks for bringing Adam back for at least one episode ♥ - I love David Anders Holt).. but I don't know what to think of the whole show.. I think I watch it more out of affection than out of interest.<br /><br />3. BEING HUMAN -I watched the first season in 2 days (6 episodes) and I instantly fell in love with it. The concept is original: a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost who share a flat in Bristol and try to live a normal life. The atmosphear is very British (and that's something I really loved), which makes it very different from all American series, and very peculiar. Season 1 is a great blend of thriller, irony, brilliant comedy, great villains, great cast(the actor playing Herrick was incredible), good plot. I love the choice of actors for the main roles. Season 2 has started on Jan 10 and it's quite different from the 1st in tone but it gave me the opportunity to appreciate the acting skills of Sinead Keenan (who plays Nina), I didn't pay too much attention to her in season 1, but she's doing great in this one and I think she's being my favourite so far. Amy Manson is also very good ( I liked her in DESPERATE ROMATICS too) but she seems like always being a bit over-acting, I still don't understand if it's her character's way or if it depends on her.<br />That being said, I'm sorry we won't get this in Italy, because I think that's a quality show, and I 'm afraid of how tha American version is going to be, as I love so much the Britishness of it!<br /><br />4. THE BIG BANG THEORY - As a self-proclaimed nerd I can't help but love it.<br />I love everything about the show, the characters, the lines, the situations..

I had the highest mark I could get and I'm happy for it. I'm not usually the kind of person to boost for such things or to show off, but I'm really glad it all ended well, because I was really demotvated at some point.<br /><br />Great results were a good start.<br />So, I graduated and then got lazy.<br /><br />I shall send away thousands of CVs and haven't really though about it yet for a reason or another.<br /><br />Well, the thing is I spent a very nice Xmas with friends and family, and still haven't prepared a gift for anyone! XD (laaaazyyyyyyy) but today I went to IKEA with my mom and finally found a measuring cup with both Imperial and Metric system.<br />Now I can try to craft some body butters and lipbalms I've seen on the InternetZ (on <a href="http://www.threadbanger.com/">Threadbanger </a>or <a href="http://makeyourcosmetics.com/">MakeYourCosmetics </a>).<br /><br />The first attempt of my little alchemist's lab is the following:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs147.snc3/17436_247270192805_633462805_4327710_815219_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 604px; height: 453px;" src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs147.snc3/17436_247270192805_633462805_4327710_815219_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This is made with all natural ingredients: shea butter, coconut oil, wheat germ oil + vitamin E, distilled water and cetyl alcohol, cinnamon and vanilla essential oils.<br />it looks very yellow and its consistency is a bit thick, but it smells great, though it smells perhaps a little too much like shea.. I should add more drops of essential oils maybe.<br /><br />As a first attempt, I am very proud of it though!!!<br /><br />Now I wish you good night, and the happiest and safest New Year!!<br />loads of luvz<br /><br /></div></div>Indil ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/01447495575772352906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237705995190757639.post-61122175975041875342009-11-18T16:04:00.000-08:002014-07-22T16:13:02.993-07:00The Kim&Cindy Necklace and other stories..Hi!<br />so today I've decided to try and create something out of the hama beads shapes I created yesterday.. and the results were dreadful.<br /><br />I was really discouraged, because I didn't feel like anything good would come from my hands, but then I started working on a necklace and in the end it was not so bad!<br /><br />I started it while waiting for <a href="http://www.kimboekbinder.com/">Kim Boekbinder</a>'s webcast to begin, in case you don't know her..you should. She's a very talented artist, a great singer and musician, I love all of her songs and she is also such an amazing person to read and to listen to that you can't help but love her.<br />she has also a fundraiser to get enough money in order to record her first solo album (she's a member of the amazing duo <a href="http://www.vermillionlies.com/">Vermillion Lies</a>, together with her sister<a href="http://www.zoeboekbinder.com/"> Zoe Boekbinder</a>), so I invite you all to donate, even a small amount to support art as a process.<br /><a href="http://www.theimpossiblegirl.com/"><br />The Impossible Girl</a> - Kim Boekbinder's solo album.<br /><br />Well.. she does these webcasts almost weekly where she plays songs on her ukulele and sings and chat with us fans and friends and is amazing. Tonight she had it w/<a href="http://www.myspace.com/cindywonderful">Cindywonderful</a> who is also in Berlin and I kept making the necklace during all the webcast.<br /><br />That's why I decided to call it "the Kim&Cindy necklace".<br />And here's a picture..<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXbvhuPrOKA6CQLwlRaYjsbqxOIQGXTRHPIX-CfDFk9tPOcP-NtJRV7TthWtHXTLs620eHSUhMqbh6erRlqLl_QmXO5J_P1CZ6iQdKRRA_k-JKYhbo_N_U5oV2Lu5AtBvABvt41Jlxub_/s1600/kim&cindy.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXbvhuPrOKA6CQLwlRaYjsbqxOIQGXTRHPIX-CfDFk9tPOcP-NtJRV7TthWtHXTLs620eHSUhMqbh6erRlqLl_QmXO5J_P1CZ6iQdKRRA_k-JKYhbo_N_U5oV2Lu5AtBvABvt41Jlxub_/s400/kim&cindy.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405603188470605346" border="0" /></a><br />as you can see, the bunny is made out of hama beads and I addd some other beads and used brown and pink cotton threads to join them.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Then again the other jewel I create dtoday is an earring, but I don't like it very much..I don't know why, but there is something that doesn't convince me..

Now that I won't have anything to do for some weeks (I will discuss my thesis in the first week of december and then I will be embraced by Mother Unemployment) I decided that I want to go back to sewing and crafting.<br /><br />I missed sewing all this time; my sewing machine was at my parent's place and I was living in another city so I didn't got the chance to exploit my full creative side.<br /><br />This time I want to talk to you about HAMA BEADS or PERLER.<br />They are these plastic beads you compose together following certain patterns, pretty much the way you do in pixel art or cross stitching, and then fuse them together by ironing them. They're very fun to work with, though I am still learning and I still need to practice some more..<br /><br />I'll show you some of my results hereunder. Please comment and give me some feedback, I'd much appreciate it.<br /><br />You can see them here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonlitwhispers/sets/72157622826071062/">FLICKR</a> (I'm having some troubles uploding pictures here, I'll possibly fix it later)<br /><br />You can see I made 2 bunnies, the pink one is my OC Puff!, a rainbow and some fruit..<br /><br />Well it's all for tonight!

I really believe this is a great way to express one's creativity.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">well.. the greeting ended, I inform you that I'm going to post soon some of the things I have done, and let you know as soon as I will put up a shop or a paypal account, just in case you are interested in some of my creations.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I wish you all goodnight,</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">hugz</span><br /><br /></span>Indil ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/01447495575772352906noreply@blogger.com0
