My "Altered" Ego

I had been so totally absent.  I confess that I was not inspired or rather, nothing inspired me. 

I had not been given thought on anything.  I did not update my blog.  I stopped participating in flea market, bazaar, junkyard sale or whatever they call it, for months. I am far from being an aggressive vendor.
     
It's towards the end of March now.  I can hear the birds chirping. Perhaps it's just my imagination or hallucination.  I know there is no Spring in this tropical country, but I can use my imagination to visualize the arrival of Spring. Nothing and no one should ever stop me from doing so.  Not the traffic lights, not our ministers, not mom, and not even that dog who can't seem to stop barking.

So, as I imagine to usher in Spring, I start to hear birds chirping. I can smell the scents of flowers. Then I gather my mind, awaken my soul, and place my two hands back to work. In few hours time, you will be able to see a thing or two on this page.  I named them the "Altered" Ego because I don't create them, I just alter............

...................................

After countless hours, I am back in this square room.  Empty handed. Nothing to be featured. Not sure about you, but I am upset.  I have my "Altered Ego" right in front of me, I tried to capture some pictures, but I couldn't seem to get the mood right.  

I am sorry.  Patience required.

Now, please meet Gladice, the lady in red.

Coming up next is Priscilla.  She's probably born in the 70s as I was told.  She is fully made of genuine leather even on the outsole.  I could have leave her alone, but I decided to give her a facelift.  The results?? The 70s Priscilla now looks like she's born in the 40s.  So err...ok, probably facelift is not the right term to use.  Anyway, please welcome Priscilla.


Very demure-looking Priscilla with 2-inch heels
