About For Rebecca Claassen... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
(6th September, Australia.)

Photo of Beck's Natal Astrology chart, with assorted bits and pieces, including runes, tarot cards etc surrounding the chart, to set the "gypsy caravan mood"... I hope! :)

(Beck asked me to cast her chart... I could not have done so without her permission and details of her birth, which are openly stated here in UF forum... therefore, this is not a violation of her privacy...)

Lighting: One tealight candle in holder (just visible at top of pic), small flame from kerosine lamp, and distant low wattage tungsten globe in a fabric tiffany ceiling shade.
Camera was mounted on tripod.
DOF could have been greater, but the focal point here really is the chart.
Rather a fun shot and hope it brings a smile to Beck's face.

Very little PP work. Crop, colour balance and sharpening.

Any (not rude) comments always appreciated.

Thanks Colin!

Amazing what can be done on the kitchen floor! LOL! And thanks for having left one of your cameras here for me to use since I had no time to do this on film. :)

Hugs~
Ani :) x

A most beautifully arranged and lit still life, dearest Aniko. A lovely gift for dear Bek. (Not sure what to think of Stan calling her 'Darling', though...hmmm...)7/7


rebecca claassen   {K:16419} 9/5/2007
Aw Ani, thankyou so much, I LOVE it!
Defiantly a gypsy caravan mood, your kitchen floor is a bit versatile, kinda like my bathroom.
Love all the mystic bits and pieces to look at here, and the great lighting.
Now....can you tell me what it all means?!!!!!! LOL
You can post here or if you prefer, email me at rebecca_claassen@hotmail.com

Thankyou again so, so very much for your time doing my chart, also for your great birthday greeting. You are a doll

Hogs back at you Baby,
Beks xxxxxxxx


rebecca claassen   {K:16419} 9/5/2007
Hi there Stan.
Thanks so much for your birthday greeting.
Cheers, Beks


rebecca claassen   {K:16419} 9/5/2007
Hi there Stan.
Thanks so much for your birthday greeting.
Cheers, Beks


rebecca claassen   {K:16419} 9/5/2007
OK, something strange going on there, could be a disturbance in the force or a cracked crystal ball!!!
Sorry Colin, you are not Stan....Thankyou Colin for YOUR birthday wishes!!
cheers, Beks


rebecca claassen   {K:16419} 9/5/2007
Thanks so much Stan,
cheers, Beks

HAPPY BURP-DAY,Chica!...wishing you many moons more...have a wild n' sassy day,Beks!

Aniko,the warm light is so very appealing and goes perfectly with this still life...so,any good news in her chart? ;>

cheers,gayle


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 9/6/2007
Thank you Dear Shirley!

I wanted that oldish Carnivale caravan look and feel... something different to present Bek's chart to her. It is not the "best" image, but I did my best with it...(Grateful for the new printer so I could print the chart out on parchment paper!!! :) :) :) )

Why, Shirley, Darling!!! We Europeans call everyone Darling! :)

Hugs and thank you again for your kind comments.
Aniko :)


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 9/6/2007
I'm so happy you like it Dear Beks!

PARTY!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! WHOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Yup, my entire house is kinda versatile... :) :) :)Why people consider it to be an "unholy mess", I have no idea!!! Sheesh... it's my studio... all of it it! Comes with props and wardrobe department and everything! :)

I was going to ask if you had a private place I could post the info to you ~ The "reading" ~ :)

However, I can tell you here and now what it "means"... It means I, and so many other people in the world, are HAPPY you were born into a time where we could meet and be friends, share art and laughs and tears and silliness... And plenty of HOGS! :) :) :)

(I'll get to sending you some more info soon, Hon. As time permits...)

Yes, I am a doll... (Nay, not like Dave's duct taped disaster doll...lol...), but a voodoo doll I be! Hehehe... :)

PARTAY!!!!!!!
Love,
Ani :) xxx


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 9/6/2007
I do have a genuine crystal ball, Beks... and it has no cracks! Must be a disturbance in the force... lol...
:) :) :)
Colin in not Stan, but Colin is the man without whose generosity of loaning this anti-dig camera dragon queen one of his digital cameras, your Canrivale Gypsy Caravan Birthday image could not have been made in time!

Thanks again to Colin!!! (He actually trusts me with that expensive equipment... I think he's nuts! LOL)
x x x


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141789} 9/6/2007
You're welcome, dear Aniko! Stan doesn't usually call 'everyone' Darling...lol.:)


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 9/6/2007
Thank you so much Dear Avi!

This was a bit of fun for Bek's Birthday...

I'm glad the image "turned out" not too bad :)

Warmest Wishes,
Aniko :)


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 9/6/2007
Well, I do, Darling! :) :) :)

(Though often I say "Dear".... However, if you saw my European Leo hands speaking, you would know that they translate everything to "Darling"... )

x :) x :) x :)


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 9/6/2007
Hiya Gayle!

Glad you like the image... :)

And yes, there is good news in Bek's chart! It is the blueprint evidence that she was BORN, and that is GREAT news!!! :) :) :)

Cheers!
Aniko:)


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141789} 9/6/2007
Well, I know I've made way too much of this...am very sensitive today, for some reason. I call all my friends 'dear' on here, too. But I reserve 'Darling' for my dearest ones.:)))


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 9/6/2007
We are all sensitive to greater and lesser degrees on certain days and for some reason/s.

All is well!

Much Love,
Aniko :)

I didn't know it is your birthday (though I know you are a Virgo...), or I would have made such a special image for you... however... I have posted you a little gift for your Birthday... http://www.usefilm.com/image.asp?id=1350926

Gabriela Tanaka   {K:17991} 10/10/2007
Oh, my! This is so beautifully conceived and so interesting!!!! (Not that I am in any way surprised, dear Aniko! You're THE ONE in my book!)In spite of containing so many things it is not crowded! And the light is a wonder, just the light for casting the tarot cards or look into a glass ball!Hope you found lots of happy things in Rebecca's future!
(Thank you for the visit and suggestions!)
Many hugs,
Gabriela


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/11/2007
Dear Gabriela!

Thank you so very much. I'm so happy you like it!

I enjoyed making this Carnivale Gypsy Caravan type of image very much for Becks. But I don't make "predictions", though I have been a qualified astrologer (and other in similar fields) for over 25 years. And, my ball is pure crystal... lol... :) :) :)I feel that "oracle" work is "advice"... it is up to the enquirer to decide what to "do" with it...

As once written (by anon) "The wise man rules his stars... the fool obeys them."

I also enjoyed visiting you, and will do so again as time permits...
How on earth did Life become so hectic???

Warm Hugs my Friend,
Aniko :)
