In collaboration with Cat, the magnificent jewelry artist and designer of Uncorked & Polarity Etsy shops, The Girl Who Knitted Love and Drop Girl are available in lockets. Cat creates her super cool lockets from a recycled steel auto part. The locket has 3 magnetic interchangeable lids: two with the girls and one with the definition of the word alegria (happiness).

Many thanks to Cat for the superb fusion!

A truly must have :)

Sisters featured on Modish blog



Sisters were featured by Modish blog, who made me very happy all weekend! Sincerely was the better feedback i could get about this new watercolor illustration! Thank you so much, i wish you a Happy Week! :)

As always, I'm very busy, my friends are already claiming 'oh you are addicted to ink', 'you need to go out' , eheheh. Maybe true, but in fact I'm enjoying a lot to play with the ink, and working at several projects at the same time. I'm doing more embroidery illustrations, watercolor illustrations, screenprinting fabrics and new Deditos are coming soon.

Must go back to work :)
Have a wonderful week!

I've been doing original illustrations lately, kind of different from Ugly Faces series (still in progress with more embroidered ladies) , more graphic, just using pencil and watercolor.
This is the extension of my work when doing Deditos polymer clay brooches. This time, and using the reduced lines and colors of Deditos, I'm doing people portraits on paper.
