Women Rule!

photo by Magdebursky, my collar :)

This post was intended for yesterday but yesterday I had no access to the Internet all day long. But in this case a date doesn't matter since I'm writing about a thing that on the 9th of March is still true :)

In the first place, I'd like to refer to women who are named almost the same like me; two Lygias: Lygia Pape and Lygia Clark.

Lygia Pape is most famous for this work:

Lygia Pape - DIVISOR, 1968, Tecido

Lygia Pape, Ttéia, Biennale de Venise

Love is so difficult to catch, isn't it? ;)  Lygia somehow managed :)

 And now Lygia Clark is coming! :)

And at the end Shirin Neshat with her "explosive" materials ;)

And again Peter inspired me to writing this post. Thank U, Peter :)*
Song for you sung by the greatest woman of all :)

When the Mask Falls...

I took me quite a while to make this mask.

In the first stage, my head was throbbing... ;)

In the second, I lost control and I didn't know what I was doing... ;) 

But finally... a round of applause, please! :)

And that photo inspired me to make it. Thank U Nick! Thank U Edward! :)

Polyandry Wanna Taste it?

 http://silkandlookies.blogspot.com/2011/01/multi-finger-rings.html

pol·y·an·dry (n.) - the condition or practice of having more than one husband at one time.(quoted after thefreedictionary). This phenomenon is to be found inter alia in Nepal and Tibet. Severe conditions of living there cause a disproportion in birth rates of boys and girls. Boys outnumber girls. 

Such a model of marriage sounds exciting especially to a woman from Europe where the gender imbalance is going in the opposite direction! :/ Exciting or not, that's not the point! What I'm wondering about are wedding rings.What wedding bands would be appropriate here? Well, I have a few suggestions! 

Maybe one like this, referring to a tight knot? :) 

The second one seems useful for handling family arguments ;)

And last but not least! I find it really handy! :]

Oh, is Lana thinking to be a spouse in a polyandric relationship, too? ;)

To fall is connected to try

Though it is, I keep on trying! I hope to finish my mask today. I'll share the results with you later. 

Love this song! It's such an energizer! Besides, if it contributes to Tymbark's success it may contribute to mine, won't it? ;) I'm going to listen to it from dawn to dusk and the other way round until  I throw up! ;)

Well, I guess each designer has experienced such a mundane process in life at least 100 times. And here a question arises. Is it fun to be a designer then? Definately it is, but to survive in this field you need to be aware of two tricks. First of all, even if you feel your head is emty kick your own ass and do something! It doesn't matter if your project looks smashing at first sight or not. Do even an average thing! Do even a mediocre thing! Don't wait for perfection! Run with that what you have, and fix it as you go. As an old saying goes: it's better to regret what you have done than what you haven't. Secondly, be aware that being succesfull takes mainly one thing sweat, a lot of sweat! So just before you start your work go and get yourself a good deodorant! ;) 

Let me introduce some experts in the field of design!

Surely they worked hard and sweated a lot. I really take pride in these fellows. They deserve the Polish national anthem! :)
