My Way Of Living

This is a collage I did thinking of my daughter Daniela, hope she likes it. I guess I should have said Black and White with a touch of gold.... #sew #ink #craft #collage #paper #mixedmedia #handmade #stamp #diecut #paint #DIY #blog #color #design #gelliprints

Sometimes while creating I find myself thinking out of the box and this time I was going to make a wonky town but that huge tree came to my mind and I finally did like a forest town, totally unexpected!! I have to confess I'm not sure I like it but I spent so much time with the butterflies, doodling, stamping, etc. that I decided to post it. Every paper I used is a Gelli print. #gelliprints #design #paper #mixedmedia #color #stamping #blog #DIY #paint #diecut #stamp #handmade

I decided to start making studies on watercolor, collages and mixed media in general so I can try every material I have. For this study I used Kuretake Gansai watercolors. #collage #craft #ink #tutorial #paper #mixedmedia #paint #stamping #blog #color #design #handmade

I did these journal pages after watching an online class by Mary Beth Shaw. #stamp #gelliprints #design #stamping #blog #paint #DIY #paper #tutorial #mixedmedia #color #ink #collage #handmade

Hi friends, This is an old post but due to the popularity, I wanted to repost it here. The video is about how to emboss metal sticky foil and paint it with alcohol inks, hope you enjoy it! For those of you don't know how to use embossing folders, I have a photo tutorial at the bottom of this post. In this case, I finished the piece by covering it with black paint and wipping out almost all to just let some darker spots. Other examples using the same technique with another emb

I love to buy old advertisements but never use them (sounds familiar?), now I used one on this collage as an experiment. I also used a Hebrew page from an Israeli newspaper my son brought to me. #ink #stamping #blog #design #gelliprints #DIY #paint #diecut #color #paper #mixedmedia #handmade #stamp #craft #collage

As usual, for this collage I used Gelli prints on deli paper with a touch of stitching and StencilGirl stencils, but this time I did something less colorful. #sew #diecut #handmade #stamp #craft #collage #paper #mixedmedia #color #paint #gelliprints #design #blog #stamping

As I said in my home page, I'm so very happy for this renewal and I decided to launch it on my birthday as my own gift. I have to thank my son Felipe for encouraging and helping me in this task. I did this collage on a corrugated cardboard covering it completely with newspaper. After that I painted the surface pouncing it with gray and beige gesso adding a few colors of acrylic paints to give it more interest. The papers as usual are bits and pieces of gelli prints, painted m

As you already may know I love collages and after three weeks out of town, I was eager to make one. I used tons of leftovers of die cuts, failed stamped images, gelli prints, paper I use to clean my brayer when painting or spraying and a few pieces of Thai paper. After I glued everything in place I started to sew randomly and in a very messy way. #handmade #collage #gelliprints #paint #design #mixedmedia #color #DIY #craft #sew #diecut #paper #stamp #stamping

As long as origami seems to be very tricky for me, I decided to make a VIDEO on how I did the pinwheel where I hid my 2016 resolutions and used it as a focal point on a layout. #color #mixedmedia #design #paint #collage #handmade #craft #DIY
