Sunday challenge

I HAD 3 OPTIONS, A DIFFICULT CHOICE, LOL ! THE 2 OTHERS ON PIPs

SAMHAIN, THE BEGINNING OF THE DARK SEASON “ALL HALLOWS EVE” = HALLOWEEN Long time I did not use superposable layers in post processing, so I am not fully satisfied with this but had no time to improve it. Nevertheless I hope you will enjoy... Will be away for the day, so will catch up later and tomorrow. Enjoy your Sunday!

As I told on the discussions I am no cook... This was my first idea, but I wanted pink pasta and would have to drive 140km to buy it as there is no place to purchase it closer. Therefore I gave a try with dog food, but I was not satisfied, so I went back to my first idea using Dante (the vertebra), chili tagliatelli and tomato tortellini... For those who don't know Dante, he is a sheep vertebra I found in nature some years ago and travelled with me in many places, also was an actor in some photographs. Now he is too fragile and retired in my library from where he can check on me!!!!! Maybe he is a controlling freak, but nevertheless he was happy to be part of this week's challenge.

My first thought was making an artistic photo with old bottles, then I thought I would change my style and try something unusual. "Medronho" is an arbutus alcohol, this one is a home distillation. The yellow alien always wants to steal the contents of my bottles, I tried to offer him Castello water but he was not fooled. The hat is there because it serves as a measure for the quantity I drink, when I see two hats it's time to stop! The PIP is just for the fun, relaxing afternoon at the Serra!

BAOULÉ PEOPLE ARE A TRIBE FROM IVORY COAST. THIS IS AN ANCIENT CHILD CHAIR, USUALLY AT HOME.

When I was in primary school someone gave us notebooks for me but they were not of the proper model, so my grandma used them to copy her recipes... I kept some loose sheets, they are all what I have left with her handwriting as I lost almost all my belongings in a flood 30 years ago.

Fossils from Portugal, the round stone ring is Neolithic and was found in Mauritania, probably an ornament, an arrowhead same location and period, an Egyptian statuette from an undetermined period but also very ancient, many centuries for sure (should be in a museum...).
