Simply Margreet

A little update • Made some progress! I’m really enjoying working on this drawing and we’re simply going to act like the hair isn’t causing a severe meltdown and we’re actively ignoring the insanely detailed earring (which I will paint in gold) for the time being. 💁🏼‍♀️😂

Lots to do still, but Elaida is slowly coming to life on paper!

“It takes resilience and courage to be yourself. The resilience to stand up to what society expects of you whilst never being the victim of other people’s expectations and having the courage not to sacrifice who you are.” - Sophia Loren

"My task is to inform, to create awareness of the needs of children. It would be nice to be an expert on education, economics, politics, religions, traditions and cultures. I'm none of those. But I am a mother and I will travel." – Audrey Hepburn on her work for Unicef

Fun fact: Allegedly the Tiffany diamond has been worn by only two women. It was worn by Mrs. Sheldon Whitehouse at the 1957 Tiffany Ball held in Newport, Rhode Island, mounted for the occasion in a necklace of white diamonds. It was then again worn by Audrey Hepburn in 1961 publicity photographs for Breakfast at Tiffany's.

"I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other." – Holly Golightly

When Audrey wasn't on camera, she might be spotted in her little elevated on-set trailer, watching the production from above. “It was like a little box two feet up in the air,” remembers Kip King (who played the delivery-boy in BaT). “It had a bed and a few cabinets. I talked to her standing at the door of the dressing room, two feet below her. I was doing stand-up at the time and was trying to get her to laugh. She would smile and was always very kind. I think if she was Snow White, I was one of the dwarves. You know what I'm saying? There were human beings and there was Audrey Hepburn.”
