Unfolding

As the year starts to develop so is my work at the  studio

and I am starting to unfold to a new me,

I am learning about the abstract world and just loving it!

I`ve started a new series called "Abstractions of the soul"

This studies and paintings are a keeper for me!  In this photo I 

love how the plate palette and the rag could be part of this series too!

As some of you may know, I am part of the wonderful experience

Life book 2013, this new dolly is made with the same steps I`ve

shared in my bonus class there,  I am just delighted with so many 

beautiful artwork the girls have posted, it so inspiring and I feel 

really good and happy about all this, I am grateful to be part of it!

This is the beginning of the new collection I was talking about,

I am taking Alisa`s  Burk class about abstractions and I am learning a lot, she`s

 one of my favorite artists and for my birthday I was given her course as a

 gift from my sweet sister and I am loving it!!

Of course I have been carving too! This is addictive and I want to keep on it,

here is a sample of the newest, some sweet hearts, all this is posted for sale on my 

store, if you are interested, please visit here or look up in the tabs section!

This are hard to let go but I am sure they will make someone happy! 

How is your year coming along so far? Are you following your intentions?

I hope one of them is to be HAPPY! :D as much as you can! I know sometimes

life gets on the way but remember to go back there and stay strong!!

New carved stamps and cards!

I have been carving a lot these days and I can`t seem

to stop, it`s really addictive and fun and I want to share

some of my new stamps!

This lady is the first of hopefully many more, I want to make!

Then this flower is used as a background for this cute card!

Then my brother made this one, he just started to carve and he seems to 

really like it, I loved his Frida and made a couple of stamps to make this card!

He even mounted it on wood!  I am hoping he makes more!

I`ve used a pan for food for the background, I usually use them for my

palettes but this time I loved it and so I`ve cut a piece and tried and yes,

I liked it a lot! You should try it!  It`s also good for adding dimension to 

some pieces like the kitty bellow!

I love this circus! The kitty was inspired by  the collage piece I made for the

card and so I made a stamp of  one cute kitty!

I hope you enjoy my cards and that you get inspired! 

Thank you for visiting!  ;D

Carved stamps!

 I have been a stamp lover for a long time, I don`t know what it

is but I have to have every design I see in the stores and it can be 

quite an expensive obsession!  

So a few years a go I decided to make my own and it`s 

been a slow journey and I keep learning and finding things about it, 

it`s a hard job and takes a lot of precision and care but it`s worth it!

I have been practicing for a long time now and my collection keeps growing!

I will never have enough I think!  Here are a few with elements I love...

Hours of fun play with them, can you tell?

This bellow are my first stamps to be offered for sale in my Etsy shop, I hope, dream 

and wish they sell well, I think they are pretty good and cute! Please wish me luck!!!

This little guy bellow  is so cute I can`t stand it!  

Don`t you think he`s adorable!

This flower has two sides, I like making a different design in both sides and I love

the frame! It really feels good when you create something original doesn`t it?

I am having a give away over my facebook page, two prints of my original paintings

will be given this next June 6th and you are invited to join and write a comment here

so I can count you in the draw!  Please like my page while you are there, I need all

the love I can get and you will be appreciated and loved back! ;D
