<br />
Just a quick post to let you all know that my dear blog-friend <a href="http://www.tortagialla.com/2011/07/01/handmade-prompted-leather-journal-giveaway-create-fearlessly/">Linda</a> is having a fabulous giveaway. Her Italian leather journals are beautiful.Eugeniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12888249054413285349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2392824134080148547.post-48339578584292942852011-06-10T17:45:00.000-07:002011-06-10T17:46:10.854-07:00Bags, Bookmarks, and Bracelets!!Dear dear bloggers,<br />
<br />
I'm terribly sorry for not posting for soooo long. It just seems like such arduous task to take pics, edit, stamp, and post them here. I do apologize and I appreciate your interest.<br />
<br />
I've been creating bags, incorporating my paintings, and also cuff bracelets, and bookmarks. Here are some samples. The reason is that I found this wonderful local market that just approved my request to become a vendor. Soooo tomorrow for the first time, I'll be participating. <br />
<br />
Please feel free to let me know what you think : ) ♥<br />

I was unsure where I was going with it. Today I felt inspired and just experimented with some blues. Now I'm so happy with it!<br />
<br />
Esta pintura permanecio inconclusa por muchas semanas. No estaba segura a donde la llevaba. Hoy me senti inspirada y decidi experimentar con algunos azules. Ahora estoy muy satisfecha con los resultados.<br />
<br />
Gracias, Thank you, Merci ♥<br />

Lately, I've been so inspired by vintage, Victorian, shabby art, that I decided to give it a shot. My first inspiration came from a very sweet, kind, and talented lady <a href="http://inthelightofthemoon.blogspot.com/">Ms. Cat, from In The Light of the Moon creations ♥</a> I admire her art and she's making me a personalized cuff, yay!! Then I learned to crochet the little heart attached, from the wonderful tutorial at <a href="http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-crochet-heart.html">Little Birdie Secrets blog</a>, easy and fast and pretty!! THEN another generous and talented mixed media artist, <a href="http://vintiquitiesworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/01/first-free-mixed-media-art-class-video.html">Ms. Thespa from Vintiquities workshop</a> teaches us for FREE how to make those gorgeous roses! <br />
<br />
I'm very very thankful for all these amazing artist that besides being so gifted are also so kind and giving.<br />
Lots of hugs and ♥♥♥<br />

I keep struggling with my perfectionism. So last week I decided to paint the main subjects with my fingers, and then add details with paint brushes, and here are a couple of results. As always, Thanks for Visiting : ) ♥♥♥<br />

Sharing my daughter's self portrait, digitally colored.<br />
My daughter has been interested in drawing off and on since she could hold a crayon. Lately she picked it up again, and it makes me very happy, mostly because it's good for her. In my humble opinion she is very good a representing expressions and movement in her art, most of her friends do not appreciate these because they are distracted by what may be considered messy, she simply gets a bit in a hurry and does not dwell on perfectionism, I wish I could do this myself.Eugeniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12888249054413285349noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2392824134080148547.post-28318283091535506572010-09-14T15:31:00.000-07:002010-09-14T15:31:03.977-07:00Left Handed ArtHi there!<br />
Last weekend my daughter and I were goofing around and decided to draw with our left hand (we're both right handed). Afterwards I noticed that this one face turned out pretty good. I like the gentle look in her eyes. I want to continue to practice using my left hand.<br />

Here is a pic of from my art journal, i used a pic of me as inspiration, so i decided it was a self-portrait, however, my ever-honest DD, stated it really does not look like me. But i'm happy with the results, so i'm sharing:<br />

I've been drawing and painting on every surface that doesn't move.<br />
Here is a mini-portrait on a magnet from my fridge, coated with coarse medium.<br />

I feel that I have finally found my style. It's not precise, it's gentle and relaxed. <br />
During my "quest for my style" I had to learn to relax, because I'm a perfectionist, even though I love art that's more natural.<br />
<br />
So I'm very happy to share with you this little painting that I completed today: Acrylics on distressed wood.<br />

Lately I've only seem to be able to concentrate on one thing at a time. First jewelry, then painting, and recently I had to turn my attention back to my home life and my health, meaning I've been trying to get fit again.<br />
<br />
I will be posting pictures of my recent paintings soon, but for now I wanted to share a beautiful show that I just had the pleasure to watch in person today.<span style="background-color: #0b5394;"> <span style="color: white;">Perfect since Spain just won the World Cup today !!!! Yay, Viva Espana!!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
<span style="background-color: #0b5394;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: white;">So here it is, a beautiful Flamenco video clip, I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did:</span><br />

Recently I learned how to print pics of my art on muslin and it's just perfect!<br />
So this morning I attached one of them to this canvas bag, and I'm really happy with the results, please let me know what you think:<br />

<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Last weekend over mother's day I was <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">kinda</span> depressed. I know rain is good, and glorious. But I can't help feeling cheated when weekends are cloudy. All I need is the sun to feel optimistic and energetic. This morning we went to the flea market and I found a couple of Ladies' Almanacs from 1938 and 1939! and finally found a set of Mexican lottery game (more on this later).</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">When we returned home the sun started to shine and I was happy, again. I feel obligated to enjoy it, <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">lol</span>, so I took my journal and a few art supplies to my back yard sanctuary. Did not feel much like writing, so i wanted to draw, just doodle my curly Q's, then a face over that, very unusual for "neat-freak" me, and what fun to see the results!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

We had a harsh winter, luckily it was also very wet. Now, here in south Texas, is sooo very green and gorgeous, the skies are blue and there is a pleasant breeze. But don't be jealous, the heat will be here too soon and <em>it</em> will be unbearable to be outside, along with "vampire" mosquitoes not too far behind. That's why I've been trying to take advantage of every possible free moment to enjoy my backyard. This morning while my family slept I was in paradise, here is the proof:<br />

Earlier this year we had the Rodeo, now it's Fiesta time. Us being suburban folks don't usually partake in the festivities. This weekend I was planning on staying home and working on my new art journal, but last night my wonderful friend asked if I wanted to go to the <a href="http://www.kwfair.org/">King William Fair</a> which is part of <a href="http://www.fiesta-sa.org/">Fiesta</a> . I agreed simply because my friend it's so much Fun!<br />
<br />
Well, we had a great time. I was transported to a gorgeous, old, victorian neighborhood. The day was super sunny, the bluest sky, the streets lined with gigantic old trees. I was in heaven! Amazing artist displaying their creations. So very perfect.<br />
<br />
We also visited the <a href="http://www.saconservation.org/places/edwardsteves.htm">Steves Homestead Museum</a> and it was so interesting, here is a pic:<br />

I also used to make Publisher newsletters for my girl scout troop. Those were fun times and I had more pics than I could manage : )<br />
Recently thru <a href="http://www.percyandbloom.com/">Ms. Abbie from the Vintage Moth</a> I learned about the wonderful <a href="http://shadowhousecreations.blogspot.com/">Shadowhouse Creations</a> , and I've been drawn back to the digital world (Photoshop Elements 6). This afternoon, as my daughter and I walked our little Chihuahua, I took some marvelous photos after a rainy afternoon. We have so much vegetation around here that it really feels like a jungle... in Texas, LOL.<br />
So I combined a couple of pics with an "overlay" effect and look at the results. My daughter has gorgeous blue eyes that just spark in this pic that she was not happy to pose for : ). The overlay is a picture of the foundation of our house!<br />
