I am paying homage to “The Son of Man” the 1964 painting by Rene Magritte.
Today’s mini-challenge within the me-made May group is to be pictured with food, or to be eating or drinking something. So I took inspiration from that famous work of art, hehe.
Incidentally, this is also my morning tea.
The artist later ate her subject.
🙁 for the orange
The Son of Man, Rene Magritte, 1964
Picture taken around 9.30am; Temperature at the time 20C.
Overnight low: 16C; Today’s high: 23C
It is very humid and the promised rain eventuated… we are getting plenty of it today!
And going by the forecast we are in for a lot more. You may be interested to know that in Perth rain is a very very welcome occurrence, we really do not get enough. Makes for a lovely lifestyle I agree, but the farmers will be happy today!
Details:
Top; Vogue 1247, lightweight orange cotton, details and my review of this pattern here

Shoes; Enrico Antinori, from Zomp shoes

And today is another joyful day of me-made synergy within my household; I was happy this morning to see Sam wearing his shirt I made for him, for Christmas last year. A me-made bonus day!
Sams’ shirt; Burda 7767 modified, white and navy check polycotton, details here
I love your inspiration for the photo! So quirky. You've worn some really nice outfits so far. Keep it up as you inspire me to continue in my attempt to have a wardrobe full of handmade garments. And I love that your kids are wearing me-made garments as well.
PS. I hope the artist enjoyed her morning tea 😀
I love the perspective of your photo! It instantly made me think of how I would study things like the moon at the distance and play games like covering the size of the moon with a much smaller coin.
Oh, boy! I´m so helpless! Where do I get to know about the mini-challenges??? The pic is so original. Some rain at last, I see!
And I like so much your rendition of that Vogue, that I ordered the same pattern just the other day. Talk about coveting : D
Ooh, nice one! I think the photo of Sam and Sienna too. 🙂
🙂
That's one of my favorite paintings, and it matches your outfit too!
clever! and I need to get that pattern.
I'm really enjoying seeing your daily outfits. The info on the weather is great. Really puts things into perspective.
Fun! I am on my 3rd coffee (yes, I am a slug today) and wondering if I should take a pic of myself in my memade pjs, no makeup and hair every which way.
Nope.
I love the outfit-this is one of my fave ways to dress-easy skirt or pants and a loose tee.
oh blissful rain. … ours seems to have stopped. I wonder if we will get anymore this spring? I'm afraid we might not. The wet early spring was lovely but now my grass is dying again …
Very clever!
BTW, I love the idea to include the temperature/weather details, especially with this totally worldwide challenge. I did that on my flickr pic today, but will try to remember to add it to the ol' blog post, too.
Great use of food! I would like to know where you find out about mini challenges as well.
I really like your combination today, it really is a great pattern.
It's such a treat seeing your pics, Carolyn. You stage your creations so wonderfully. I never thought of linen when looking at this pattern, and here you are rocking it.
