Happy new year!

Happy new year! 2013 is already here! 

Every year leaves us with lots of moments we treasure: smells, colours, images, experience and feelings.
2012 was a year full of moments for me: some of them I liked, some I loved and also some of them I would preferred not to have. Through all that moments, my art was a way to live and express myself.

Lets treasure those moments and celebrate! I couldn´t find a better way than sharing with you a collage of some of the things I've done in 2012.
By doing this collage I found that painting was one of the ways I most used... I guess that I had a lot to express! :)


Every beginning makes me feel energised! and the best way for me to start 2013 was with two projects. Of course, at the same time.

A bedside table that is almost ready (poor thing, it has been waiting in my studio for more than a year for a proper makeover) and a painting (still only the sketch).

Later this week I will share more photos of the bedside table. For now, only a preview.



A bonus: these beautiful summer flowers are now near my studio entrance.

"What little art"

I am choosing the photos for the post, and my little son (he is 7) says: "What little art".
This is another mini-painting to wear. It is a brooch. I made the piece in polymer clay and painted my little princess with acrylics.
As you can see the painting has relief... so it is really difficult to photograph. The pictures do no do real justice to it. I tried several times, and decided to share the best ones. 
While not in use, I will place it in a little black box, as a frame.

It is really little. The painting itself is 5cm tall, and the complete brooch 6.5cm.










I decided to paint a princess... because we always like to feel like one and be treated that way, right?
