Illustrations for the Hermitage

More drawing for the Hermitage archaeology department. Jillian and I laugh about being published stipplers. Hello my name's Jasmine,
I stipple.





And two of my own (I'm a bit shy of these two)

Walking home

All the remains of the ice are chunks that drift around, ghostly


Easter Ball

Russian 19th century style, it had to be done as a tribute to Russian Ark. There were master classes the week before, so I was able to get totally confused in Russian learning various dances such as the Polonaise.
The perennial problem, not enough men
Tati said we have to do the sailor photo, so we did
And me busting some moves (and I thought I was a good dancer)

Manu and Sandra, wonderful photo

Evening with Victoria Vita

To celebrate Vita's and our art



Lunch at Soup and Wine

Animals

This is one of my favourite items in the Hermitage—a 14th century Iranian chicken, such modern looking design.



Everyone needs a pair of gold boots
Mongol saddle

Outside rehearsals for Victory Day, I'm not a fan of military parades, but it shows the square in use.

Theatre Poema

Theatre Poema performance at the Place Club. It brought out a lot of different reactions and interpretations, really refreshed the mind and allowed free thinking.
Sandra and Tati walking
Arch at Narvskaya
Menacing building across from the club. I went the evening before to get tickets.

Easter dinner

Sandra and I decided to arrange an Easter Sunday dinner, seeing as we had no one to celebrate it with, at Aragvi Georgian restaurant on the Fontanka, very good. Especially as they let us dance around the restaurant after, including a perhaps too lively polka.
Lika, who helps see how to do and to be creatively free. She paints and draws and dances when she wants to.
Then to a whacky club where they celebrate New Year every night

One of my favourite photos ever below.
And sparklers at midnight

Early morning walk





On Sunday morning I walked home. I like it when interesting things develop out of doing something in a different way, such as walking and moving whilst taking a photo.
