Brazil Fades

 These are both dread crowns with draw strings.  Above: beige, grey, olive green.  Below: black, navy, teal.

Minha Tigrada

 Here I am with my friends' lovable pittie bull, Hirasema.  She looks vicious in this picture but she is just very playful.  Her brindle (tiger striped) coat inspired a few of my hats.



 Above is a solid dread crown made with the brindle yarn.  Below is a puff stitch hat made with cream, beige and mustard yarn.

Jorge Makandal's Rasta Recycled Camp in Sana

 Here is a wall made with recycled glass bottles. Beautiful light!

 Mirrors, mosaics, and more glass bottles.

 Plastic bottles used for hanging planters in an entryway.
 The sistren and the bredren.

Dreamscapes

Geriba

 Cabo Frio
 Arraial
 Saquarema
Itacoatiara
I chose these because I liked the skies and also the sense of serenity in each picture.
