New media.... My first digital drawing!

Just starting.... Like a kid trying to learn how to write!

The patient side table

This is the story of a patient bedside table... It belonged to my aunt Porota and since it came to me has been waiting for a makeover in my studio. But the wait is over!

For 10 years we didn't have proper bedside tables, or at least as we wished them to be: as soon as we were married (and for a few years) we had two boxes, then two very economic light tables that I barely painted, for them not to look so basic and now... finally ... two night tables as want them to be.

The colours is not so usual... you are right. But the entire room makes everything harmonise ... or so we think with my husband and we are happy!
I painted with latex in two colors (Cranberry and Ciboulette from Colorin) and waxed it.

And this is what is around the bedroom...



No, not my authorship. It must be the work of a skilled anonymous craftsman from distant latitudes.

And this is its partner. I painted it before.

Guess which is mine and which my husband's...

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.

Stamps, peace and a card for you

Last night was a lovely night. I carved some rubber stamps and made a card I was asked for. 

 

I wish you a Merry Christmas!

And for you, a card you can use. Shhhh ....last year's is also still available.

Summer is here! Almost....

At least on this side of the world!
Well now is raining, but.... summer at home means...

Souvenirs

It was my daughter's First Communion and I made her souvenirs. I was determined to not do something common and I didn't want them to be white and yellow. And indeed, they ended up being really colourful! She was really happy with the result!

View from the couch

I had to read something ...could not scape. But I kept looking everywhere unable to concentrate ...  
Would you like to make trip my eyes made?

Of course ... I started to incorporate myself ... my papers stood on the couch! and I .... I went to enjoy a beautiful day ...
