T stands for laughters

Hello T-Friends!

I hope life has been treating you well. On october 12th we celebrate Our Lady Of Aparecida: she is our Patron Saint.
We also celebrate children's Day on the same day. So we put on our costumes at school and organized a party for our students.It was fun!

Here we are enjoying ourselves like children. I am wearing a blue sailor costume.


More photos of Rio de Janeiro botanical garden.

When you walk around the park, you see many statues of gods and goddesses in the green. I will post more photos next Tuesday.

And here are two pages I made this weekend. I was quite inspired.
 I used modelling paste to create my flower. It's a pity it's not visible.

The quote says: " If you think I am weird, respect me too because I was obliged to respect myself.". It was written by Clarice Lispector. She's one of my favourite Brazilian writers. The girl I drew for 29 faces. I have to find a place for all of them.
Have a magical week and don't forget to visit Elizabeth!

Hugs, 
Karla

Day 72 - 365 Days of Spirit Art Journaling for Artists - Transition

T stands for Flowers and Trees

Hello T- Gang!

It's been awhile since I took part in Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday. It was the end of the third bimester here and I work at three schools so you can imagine the amount of work I had correcting tests and evaluating students. Besides all the new policies here made me down. The target is always Education and Social Welfare. Sometimes I think the world has gone mad and I feel like a fish out of water. I wish things could be different for my students and my people. According to the new policies the spending on social welfare will be limited for twenty years.  It will reduce health and education programs dramatically. Needless to say I fear the future.

But let's talk about nice things now. Last week I went to Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden. Let's visit it again with me?

The Japanese Garden 


Can you see the kois in the water? I was amazed. What a peaceful place!

I saw a lotus flower for the first time in my life. I wasn't lucky when I visited The Botanical Gardens the other times: there was no lotus flower to be seen. But last Friday  I was amazed. There was only one flower so I had to immortalize it. Can you see me and Miss Lotus?

Here is the orchids greenhouse. So beautiful!Pure delight!

I love orchids. They are rare and difficult to cultivate.

I will post more next week. I took 174 photos. So prepare yourself for an overdose of plants and flowers.


I created some papers. It's all yours. Just right click and save them.










And here is for Susi and Valerie. It is spring here. Today was very hot. We are observing DST now so we are one hour ahead.

I made the background with watercolor pencils. Love the effect.

A flower for you all. Have a magical week and visit Elizabeth's blog.
Hugs, 
Karla
