It's obvious that I like pin up girls, I talked about them in a previous post here in my blog. Take a look at this site with so many pin up images from several famous artist. It's well organized and so useful as reference for your work even :)

My first Oil Colours Set

Yes, I want to learn how to use oil colours. I got this set yesterday, it would have cost 40€ but some months ago, I won the first prize of a contest held by a town near here. It's worth 150€ and it can be spent in a paint-shop. However for a beginner as me it's a good outfit.

My wood Winton Box Set includes:

▪ 8 tubes of Winton Oil Colours 37ml

▪ A 75ml Bottle of Sansodor

▪ A Brush Short/Flat Bright - Fine Bristle No. 4

▪ A Brush Round - Fine Bristle No. 3

▪ A Plastic palette knife

▪ A Double dipper No.12

▪ A W&N Pencil 2B

▪ A Medium kneaded eraser

▪ A Wooden mixing palette.

▪ An Instruction Booklet

On the picture there is an Artists' Painting Medium I bought apart.

Where my name takes its origin

As you can see, my name is Noemi. I really like my name (thanks mum!! :D). When I was a child, here in italy it was a rare name. Infact, when people asked me "What your name?", and I answered to them, they said to me: "What?" but after I repeated my name they said: "Wow, that's beautiful". I'm so proud of that! Anyway my name has an interesting origin, that personally I love. In Hebrew can be translated as Naamah. I fell in love with it at once so I decided to take it as nickname.

Well, it's explained how it is born now. :)

Naamah or Na'amah (comes from Hebrew: נעמה‎) is a demonic legendary creature, the mother of divination. How she became a demon is unclear.

Naamah is used as a female given name in contemporary Israel. Literally, it means "Pleasant One".

This name is borne in the Old Testament by both a daughter of Lamech and a wife of Solomon. Some later Jewish texts give Naamah as the name of Noah's wife, even though she is not named in the Old Testament.

The Queen of the Damned

I've started The Queen of the Damned from Anne Rice a few days ago. I read the books before it (Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat) about one year ago if I remember right. And now I want to finish the whole Vampire Chronicles. I love so much how Mrs. Rice writes, ;) she portrays so well characters, landscapes... everything! It's because her books involve me a lot.

Look so yummy!

I wanna some of these!

I need a red lipstick!

I'm obsessed with pin up/40s women style in this period. I love how they dress and their simple make up. They're just so elegant, chic and beautiful. What's pin up hair look do you like? Personally I love the Veronica Waves (:
