It’s 7h30 in the morning and i’m already wake up…thanks to my special teacher katie Kendrick! I’m completely addict to her faces having a notebook with me all the time and practicing practicing… She’s a wonderful creative inspiring teacher giving us a tons of tecnhiques with an open heart that i don’t get to see often. I was out of my comfort zone and still am but it’s like she granted us with a green light…go girls unleash your creativity. I would love to add to my albums painting as well. I’m really into the mixed media gathering in one piece all sorts of techniques and materials. Above for example I sewed into an old paper a coco leave that i brought from Brazil… This album is on progress…let’s see what comes out of it.

Have a good week I feel good the jet lag stayed in Shanghai… xo

I will not decorate either my home or my mom’s this year as i haven’t last year, time is short between work and the studio and i need at least a full week to decorate both houses in a very american way with almost every corner full of angels, candles etc…. it has always been pure excitement so i come up with this crazy idea (if my mother is ok? ) i will decorate the christmas tree in january and store them in her the garage, we will be ready for 2011! In the meantime, she and her friends will do the honours this years again! By the end of october, i start thinking in cool gifts to offer and now that i’m creating them the question, will they like it, will they treasure it, arises. It so easy to offer another scarf or perfume for aunt Lili the same sweater for Dad…know the feeling searching for …
