Lots of Inspiration !!

Soo, I went from making silver wire jewelry, to collage, to painting portraits. 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 Ms. Cat, from In The Light of the Moon creations ♥ 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 Little Birdie Secrets blog, easy and fast and pretty!! THEN another generous and talented mixed media artist, Ms. Thespa from Vintiquities workshop teaches us for FREE how to make those gorgeous roses!

I'm very very thankful for all these amazing artist that besides being so gifted are also so kind and giving.
Lots of hugs and ♥♥♥

Magnifique!!

Wooo Hooo !!

Love, love, love my package from France ♥
Thank you Le Ptit Lu.

Merci Beaucoup!!

Finger Painting!

Don't get me wrong, just because I've been neglecting my dear Blog, it does not mean that I haven't been creating. 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 : )  ♥♥♥

PS. my pic is meant for my sister whom i haven't seen in many years, it's not vanity, entirely.

MONICA, aqui incluyo una foto reciente de mi, para que veas a tu hermana mayor, JA.

My Sister !

I just learned that my little sister all the way from Argentina, recently started a New Blog to promote her adorable Papier-mache creations. Please check it out!

Happy 2011 !!

I love the winters in Texas, the sky is at it's bluest. Usually we get a new camera, camcorder, for Christmas and love using it outdoors. Check these out, from downtown New Braunfels.

2011 will be a most FABULOUS year, I'm planning on it : )

I Won!!

I've been following Le Ptit Lu, a French illustrator that I admire. Gothic and mysterious. Recently, and thanks to my Spanish, I've learned that a giveaway was being offered. I commented, and lo and behold, on the latest post a "postcard" was created to list the winners, and I was just ThRilLed that my name was there, check it out!

Teen Portrait

Hello there! Sharing my daughter's self portrait, digitally colored.
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.

Left Handed Art

Hi there!
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.

Thanks for visiting : )

Self-Portrait

My dear followers,
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:

Mini-Portrait

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