"...beauty inspiration from Mother Africa."

Another fab spread by the guys at Pride Magazine -UK.
I'm loving all the accessories, especially that headpiece in the third pic.
I can't imagine where I would wear it to, but I want it.

Quotes:

Being powerful is like being a lady.

If you have to tell people you are,

you simply aren't.

The Rain [Supa Dupa Fly]

This brings back so many happy childhood memories.

 Especially the ones of staying at my cousin, Jessica's house and watching music videos on 'The Box' music channel. We didn't have cable at home, so visiting her was always a chance to catch up...haha!  

I also remember the day I first saw this video and how completely blown away I was.

Missy Elliott x Hype Williams = Visual Delights!

Inspired by emotions

Brest, France

After looking at her collection of work I may have to mention Liliwenn, alongside Blu and JR as one of my favourite street artists. Her use of color is excellent, and you can really feel the raw emotion in her pieces.

I am addict.. my substance is the painting.. my motor is emotions.. my gallery is everywhere..... Sweet insanity..... My mind is here and elsewhere.. elusive.. unpredictable.. aspirated by inspiration & inspired by emotions.

Mila's Daydream

Mila's Daydream by Adele Enersen. While Mila is taking her nap Enersen imagines what she would be dreaming about and tries to capture it. She says:

  

“This is my maternity leave hobby. While my baby is taking her nap, I try to imagine her dream and capture it.”

She uses fabric and cloth to recreate these fairy tale like dreams. Too cute!

Patience is a virtue

Microscopic artist Dalton Ghetti spends up to two-and-a half years painstakingly crafting each handmade piece on the graphite of a pencil.

Mr Ghetti, who works as a carpenter, has been working with pencils for about 25 years and his sculptures include Elvis, the entire alphabet, linking chains and even an entire church which is just 10mm tall.
