7 Chakras

2010-05-06T07:46:00.000-07:00

The Chakras are said to be "force centres" or whorls of energy permeating, from a point on the physical body, the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation (the fans make the shape of a love heart). Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered the focal points for the reception and transmission of energies.Seven major chakras or energy centres (also understood as wheels of light) are generally believed to exist, located within the subtle body. It is typical for chakras to be depicted as either flower-like or wheel-like. In the former, a specific number of petals are shown around the perimeter of a circle. In the latter, a certain number of spokes divide the circle into segments that make the chakra resemble a wheel or chakra. Each chakra possesses a specific number of segments or petals. ( wikipedia)

Fairies are generally described as human in appearance and having magical powers. Their origins are less clear in the folklore, being variously dead, or some form of demon, or a species completely independent of humans or angels.Folklorists have suggested that their actual origin lies in a conquered race living in hiding or in religious beliefs that lost currency with the advent of Christianity. These explanations are not necessarily incompatible, and they may be traceable to multiple sources.

Much of the folklore about fairies revolves around protection from their malice, by such means as cold iron (iron is like poison to fairies, and they will not go near it) or charms of rowan and herbs, or avoiding offense by shunning locations known to be theirs. In particular, folklore describes how to prevent the fairies from stealing babies and substituting changelings, and abducting older people as well.Many folktales are told of fairies, and they appear as characters in stories from medieval tales of chivalry, to Victorian fairy tales, and up to the present day in modern literature.

Although in modern culture they are often depicted as young, sometimes winged, humanoids of small stature, they originally were depicted much differently: tall, radiant, angelic beings or short, wizened trolls being some of the commonly mentioned. Diminutive fairies of one kind or another have been recorded for centuries, but occur alongside the human-sized beings; these have been depicted as ranging in size from very tiny up to the size of a human child.Even with these small fairies, however, their small size may be magically assumed rather than constant.

Wings, while common in Victorian and later artwork of fairies, are very rare in the folklore; even very small fairies flew with magic, sometimes flying on ragwort stems or the backs of birds. Nowadays, fairies are often depicted with ordinary insect wings or butterfly wings. (wikipedia)

( An Homage to Sofia Coppola and Kirsten Dunst)

Nobreza representa a classe social de maior estrato. Aos nobres pertenciam grande parte dos territórios conquistados, recebidos dos monarcas como prémio das vitórias nas batalhas. Beneficiavam de duas regalias muito importantes: a juridicação privativa sobre os moradores dos seus domínios senhoriais e, por vezes, a isenção de tributos. Aos nobres associam-se os títulos nobliàrquicos segundo a importância, prestígio ou ascendência do indivíduo. ( wikipédia)

IS SHE ACTUALLY DEAD???

2009-03-16T09:15:00.000-07:00

" Poor living conditions and poor diet led to many Middle Ages Health problems suffered by both the wealthy and the poor Medieval people. Anemia was common as was rheumatism, arthritis, tuberculosis and dysentery ( known as the flux ). Child bearing and possible childbed fever was dangerous and many women died during childbirth. Influenza was also a common health problem, referred to as the 'sweating sickness'. Sexually Transmitted diseases, such as Syphilis, were also prevalent."

SELF-TAUGHT EMBROIDERY ARTIST...?!?
...

Always good to know what we are dealing with...

" Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as metal strips, pearls, beads, quills, and sequins. A characteristic of embroidery is that the basic techniques or stitches of the earliest work—chain stitch, buttonhole or blanket stitch, running stitch, satin stitch, cross stitch—remain the fundamental techniques of hand embroidery today.
The origins of embroidery are lost in time, but examples survive from ancient Egypt, Iron Age Northern Europe and Zhou Dynasty China. "
( ...wikipedia)

" ...I'm sorry, don't have time to work on Meinepuppen..."

I remember so well once in Montemor-o-Novo will presenting a book my father mentioned I once said: " I wish the days have 48 hours..." so I could have time to do everything.

I always thought that maybe while I was getting older I would give more time to myself and chance my point of view.

It didn't happened until now... I continue to have this same kind of thought.
... and fuck I miss him like hell!!!
There's no way to deal with certain things...

The day before, when the Admiral was going to the Rio del Oro, he said he saw three mermaids who came quite high out of the water but were not as pretty as they are depicted, for somehow in the face they look like men. He said that he saw some in Guinea on the coast of Manegueta.

Meridian also known as channel, in traditional Chinese medicine, is the common name of vessel, also known as channel) and collaterals. It is the path of running qi and blood, connection zang-fu viscera, communication inside and outside, and run through top and bottom. In Japan, "meridian" is known as "keiraku" and in Korea it's known as "kyungrak".

It is from the techniques and doctrines of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture, acupressure, and qigong. According to these practices, the body's vital energy, "qi", circulates through the body along specific interconnected channels called meridians. There is no physically verifiable anatomical or histological basis for the existence of acupuncture points or meridians. (wikipedia)

When I'm sawing I normally like to combine it with something else.
My concentration is then divided between the actually action of sawing but also and at the same time thinking/ making plans, watching TV/ movies, listening to music, talking with other people, etc, etc ...
It's time that I have to chill and be sit but anyway I'm working.
Is something very different than dance. That's why when I'm not dancing I like so much to do it.

"Marriage is a social, religious, spiritual, or legal union of individuals. This union may also be called matrimony, while the ceremony that marks its beginning is usually called a wedding and the married status created is sometimes called wedlock.

Marriage is an institution in which interpersonal relationships (usually intimate and sexual) are acknowledged by the state, by religious authority, or both. It is often viewed as a contract. Civil marriage is the legal concept of marriage as a governmental institution, in accordance with marriage laws of the jurisdiction. If recognized by the state, by the religion(s) to which the parties belong or by society in general, the act of marriage changes the personal and social status of the individuals who enter into it.

People marry for many reasons, but usually one or more of the following: legal, social, and economic stability; the formation of a family unit; procreation and the education and nurturing of children; legitimizing sexual relations; public declaration of love; or to obtain citizenship." (www.wikipedia.org)

Meinpuppen... some words by Carlota Corte-Real

This dolls normally have stories. Their own individual created from me in detail. The stories are associated with their names and the explanation comes often under coverd in the details putted in their bodies.
Handmade objects is an art that takes time and for me it works as a sort of meditation. I spend hours and often even days in making this dolls.
More or less evident the dolls are mostly girls. Their stories sift between the ones that died in a lack, pregnant by a cat, with butterflies in the belly cause they are in love, with double personality with hearts in the front and skulls in the back, lesbians, hookers.
And rabbits that did several abortions, with backpacks where they carrie there children. Bears with human organs, blessed by angles. Kitty Kats that are arnarxist punks, pregnant of humans, and many more.

The understanding about the really story of each doll from the people that buy it's not really important to me. The name of the doll will give a suggestion if is from their interest.

Meinpuppen are mostly not for children. Hopefully they wouldn't understand why the dolls look sweet but are not. But they are not dark. They are characters with less happy stories.
Just for some exceptions, requests of close friends for example, meinpuppen were designed happy and full of internal beauty.
