The tables of the grill house

The tables had to comply with three conditions: be good, nice and cheap!
So we bought them made of pine wood, we painted them and I'm now writing phrases on them (just because I love to be surrounded by phrases).
Everything in the grill area + my atelier is about bright colors... and the tables couldn't be less colored! 

"nothing is more equally distributed than reason, everyone believes that have enough."

"In a kiss I'll know everything I haven't said"

"Who does not believe in magic will never find it"

"A friend's visit cools as morning dew"

"The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions."

"Who does not understand a glance, will not understand a long explanation"
Arab proverb

Tiny paintings to wear

These Easter holidays were a good excuse for this project: tiny paintings. There are made in polymer clay, painted with acrylics and protected.

the size is like it is shown in this picture

Ready to wear! two new necklaces

Colors around the house

New media: polymer clay

Yesterday I started working with a new material (polymer clay). 
And today I wore the necklace I made yesterday using it!

I love it.  You first model the pieces, then needs a short time in the oven to get dry and then you can paint the piece.

I started doing leaves, manually modeled the pieces and made the ribs using my stamps, which proved to be excellent molds. For the green curls, I mixed a bit of turquoise and a bit of orange clay.  When they were dry and cold, I painted them. 

I tried different distributions of the leaves in the necklace I made using pieces of old ones.

This is it!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Mending walls

Last weekend we were at the barbecue place and I found a stained wall ... hmm ...

as it was one of those spots that don't go easy, I appealed to my acrylic ink ....

why not painting another one, right?

It took me only five minutes ... and the family was happy with the change.
While on the grill .... this was happening!

Don't be afraid to paint a wall. The worst that can happen is you have to give it a coat of paint!

The orchid from the tree near my atellier

I made a new plant from another that is growing a lot. I put it in the tree outside my art studio. And now (after a month only) it has flowers!

The original plant

Another plant in the other tree... still growing!

Have I told you that I love you?

At home we say "I love you" quite often. It is good for the soul, it makes us happy and helps feeling "complete".
But of course, routine tempts us to focus more on facts than feelings. From this thought is where this stamp came from.
This is dedicate to my love, my husband:

There are so many possibilities: for example, I'll be using it to print wrapping paper.
