Conan's love bites

Do I mind showing legs and skin? lol, no of course not, I don't mind, actually I don't care.

But that kitten playing with my shorts' threads, the surprise of the claws in the skin.. followed by the caress from his fur... the sun and its shadows.. a simple moment, simple pleasure.Little Heaven.

Cat and Wolf (kitty and muscles!)

Spring in the flesh

I was born in May and May has never felt so sweet, so exquisite.
Every little pleasure gets intense. A fruit, a cuddle, a lil nap, a dream, a sip of white wine.

Hairy tale

Once upon a time ...


Conan and Satan (love etc)

.. and they lived happily ever after.
:P

Happy Meal

Here's my new collage, and another to follow in the next days! yeahhh!
Collages. A passion. I really love the other freedom collages can give, the kitsch side of it makes anything possible. Things that wouldn't work in a painting. That is very exciting.
 

I'm really happy, might be the first that will hang on my walls (I usually don't put my own work on my walls, there's so much of myself in my work, that it would be like facing mirrors everywhere. Eeeeck. Does that make sense? lol I wonder)

 For details about it, the whys and hows, you should check the page on my gallery.

Again, the photo quality betrays the quality of the collage. It's quite splendid (laughing! no false modesty allowed it seems) when I see it here next to me.
On the photo, it's not sharp enough and it's hard to avoid any reflection because of the varnish on it, which acts like a lil light sucker!

 I'm looking for a plain frame for it, black. I'll sell it framed, with no glass, no need for one :)

 It took me days and days to make it... Collages look simple to do, but it's SO much work. There's always a lot I want to express on my paintings, even more on my collages. I create my realities, my world. Ok, there's always a "front page" story, here a kitty feeding her kittens... and behind a lot more. That's what I like, apparent simplicity hiding a lot more, if you want more. But you can take it for what it is too. Just a fantasy collage, with a mermaid playing the sardine : )

talk about creating my own world...
I swear I'm working hard here!
It's never obvious, so you gotta trust me, thankyouverymuch :P

Hello... kitties!

Attention please!
Probably the most important post of the year. I knew 2011 would be a perfect year.

There we go, talking NAIL POLISH today.
Wooooo!
Do you wear any make-up? I wear hardly any, just on the eyes and the lips. And the nails, yes my nails are always done. I don't mind when the polish starts to get off, I find that even kinda cute when I wear "fading away" red. lol. I am not a maniac of the perfect nail! :P

See how I am serious about the topic. I can talk about it for hours minutes and minutes! And for nail polish, I have found the prefect brand to me : Hello kitty. Perfect quality for 7.50€ (still way too expensive!).
I'm starting a collection ;)
I'll avoid some colours though... green, orange, yellow, violet, blue ... I'm classic: into reds mainly, from dark reds to flashy reds... or very pale pink. Those are the best to me.

The first one I tried, white, I gave it to Lola. Too white. Eeeeck!
Then found my colours, and they were perfect:

the perfect light one

or very red (super kawaï!)

...it really must fit to my mood. And at the moment, I wear a LOT of red! huhu :P

Meowwwwww !

Let me introduce you a lil beauDy !

His name is Crunch and he's the brother of Satan and Conan! Yeahhhh!!!

I feel like a hairy Dynasty was just born!
Blake and Alexis,if you hear me...

You can see the pictures of this lil tiger right there
Meowwwwwww!!!!

Satan's the Queen

Loup has his own way to make the Twelfth Night cake (galette des rois)
He wants to be sure that the king's crown won't escape him you see.

Last time he made one, he worked hard, made a lil crown for Satan that was to be his queen! :P

Dunno really what Satan thought of it, but she seemed like hypnotized, not super comfortable, but not escaping either. Tough queen!

... and Boys don't cry ?

... but I suspect my lil Conan to swallow his tears when Satan attacks him!

Conan's a real boy, adventurous, he tries the craziest actions, often fails, crashes in some awkward way on the floor... but never surrenders. Obstinate he'll try again and again.

He's also very LAZY and affectionate, he spends hours stuck to me, which makes me the happiest (despite the lil fleas he's carrying! pfffff)

*just* a Girl - with moustaches -

Well, trust me I can make the difference between human boys and girls!
With kittens, I need more practice it seems :P

So Satan, is not a boy, nope. Satan's a GIRL! Yayyyyy! Another girl @chez Candles!
I should have guessed though, she's so delicate, she has a tiny adorable face, she's fast, a bit shy but already a promising hunter!

and she's clever, oh yeah! She already reads subtitles, see! :P

French kiss

On the 31st of December, I was working. Sipping champagne of course!
But working, on this painting.

click here

I was so important and symbolic to me, I wanted to finish the year with a painting and started 2011 with a new one. Done. I'm so happy! (dancing around, throwing petals and drinking champ' again!)

I wanted to start the year with something very much into Fantasy art. A woman, not really a mermaid, more like a fish woman... ready to bite (swallow? huhu) a frog... instead of kissing it to get the expected prince charming. That's the whole idea of it. (Don't be fooled girls, it never works this way with princes charming!)

It was my first painting with Conan and Satan around. Hm working conditions might be warmer than usual but not just the easiest! :P

Cats in the cradle (meowwww)

10 days now Conan and Satan are part of the family!


On the first day, they were a bit shy. Just seperated from their mama (sigh)... who started to push them away, anyway.

They did not know where to pee. Which was the expected big source of stress to me. They were not clean yet. Soon we discovered they peed under the Xmas tree! lol. Yeeehaaaaa!
But 24 hours later, while the Christmas tree was suffocating (not from their pee yet but) from their mini feline attacks, they were clean already. Fantastic.

Ok, when I change their litter and it's all new, they like it SO much that they both start to sleep on it! //OO\\

They're very very affectionate, they don't hide, they don't fear Loup and his strange behaviour (Loup has introduced all his weapons to his cat.... Conan of course :P)
Conan the grey is very affectionate, he's bigger, he loves fighting too.
Satan, well, we're still not sure he is a male (lol), we even think that finally Satan is a female. (Let's talk to the Pope now! he gotta know!). Satan is much smaller, very clever.
Both are so affectionate!
They sleep with me, well on me, my neck, my breast. I feel feline with them around.

And god, something I do not regret at all (so far :P)... is having 2 cats! They play together all the time!!! they attack each other, clean each other, play, cuddle and sleep. Oh I would recommend that to anyone.

Their mom is a tabby cat (chat de gouttière), their dad... we're not sure, 3 possibilities. But the ex owner told us that among the three there was the most beautiful cat she had ever seen. A big angora one. And well, they both have really long hairs! I don't care about who's the papa of course... but honestly they are the most adorable kittens you can imagine!

Striking back!

It's cold, it's gonna be a lot colder when I get to Hamburg in a few hours.
I don't have super warm clothes for winter... what's the point anyway? We're expecting global warming, and (phewwww!)  I'm ready for that! bikinis, sun lotion, summer giggles, etc.. in stock.

Of course I could surf on the Christmas wave and get into the magic of it... getting warm and comfortable! But... come on...  just see below where it could lead me!

 

Nonono, I could not paint anything if I wore a blanket with sleeves (look @the pic, they look like a sect!) or supa ugly boots! It's way too extreme! My mind would be disturbed, I'd get supa kitsch! (which wouldn't be that bad, I reckon! lol)

I've no real winter boots so far. It's ok, I can stand cold feet in pretty boots! ... with the only purpose to get a productive mind you see! :P

Oh and I've just received those lovely arm warmers (oh no way, don't tell me you find them ugly!). Ok, they get lots of holes in them... That's not the point! Everything's in the mind, if you decide it's warm enough, then it is , right?

Yayyy!!! I'm going to be a mom again!

The other day my gyno told me I was in perfect conditions to have a third baby...
huh???
A third baby??? haha!!!


Yet, I thought about it. Gave it some serious consideration.
Finally, I took some decision........ and * things * happened!

... but I just don't know who the father is!
* shrugging *
I'm a modern woman anyway! :P

And, well, it's a boy! He already gets my eyes with such a clever sparkle in them!!!


Check by yourself:



I expect him for next month!

Such a lil tiger, said to be already very adventurous (2,5 weeks old only!)













And then... big boy has a lil sister... I wanted a girl since Joe's death. And they're always stuck together. My flat's tiny but they'd be happy together no? Is it too much work, too many HAIRS?

Dunno. I must take a decision before Monday... I really do need your advice...
She's so cute, and shy and I want to  protect this lil creature (who seems to have the sensitivity of her mama - ME - !)

Meowwwwwwww!!!!
