T stands for Saints Cosmas and Damian

Hello T-Gang!

How are you my friends? Hope you all are well. Thanks so much for your lovely comments last Tuesday. I always write mine on Sundays so I am sorry. I am always late but better late than never huh !

 Today we celebrate Saints Cosmas and Damian here and we give children bags of candy with the saints effigy printed on them. 
Saints Cosmas and Damian are considered the protectors of children in Brazil. 


 Yummy Yummy I love candies!


 Some people invite children to have sweets at their own homes. Others give bags of sweets in the streets. It's a tradition and children have fun. September 27th or Saints Cosmas and Damian's day was one of my favourite days when I was a child.



Here are some faces I created for 29 Faces challenge. Although I  had drawn some, these are digital because I have been  playing with a new drawing software. I love drawing and paintings softwares. I don't have Photoshop. Most of times I use drawing or painting softwares to create my art.

Face 30 - this one is a courtesy;

Hope you have a magical Tuesday. Don't forget to visit Elizabeth and our T-gang! 

Hugs, 
Karla

T stands for Rio de Janeiro

Hello T-Gang!

I hope you are well. I can't believe spring starts on wednesday. It's my favourite season. 2017 is almost on the corner and I am sure many people are eager for the new year and I am one of them. 2016 has been tough. The best part is the fact that we always learn something when life is giving us lemons. I don't have any plans right now. Sometimes I think living is an act of braveness in my country. Well, I am going to leave you now with some photos my daughter took from Rio de Janeiro - my home.

 Strawberries - I love them!

 Brazilian Flowers - what a delight!

 Here is Yemanjá - she is the goddess of the sea and you find her statue in many beaches here. We honor her on December 31 or January 1. This portrait was painted on white tiles. I think it is so beautiful.
