treasures

A treasure - wallet - for me that my dear friend Sandra from Kleinod sent me a while ago.
Sandra makes beautiful and dreamy wallets, choosing carefully the outer composition and the fabric inside. My wallet was made with the fabric I screenprinted "pinheiros mansos'. I'm very happy with my gift, many thanks :))

A treasure - bag - that my dear friend Josee from zenzhetty sent me a few days. I'm carrying it everyday, it's spacious, very well made and with a very beautiful composition. Josee used a piece of fabric '100% Português' i screenprinted. With the bag also came a cool and very useful roll for my brushes that I'm already using too. I'm a lucky person :DD Many thanks!

the summer

some fun at the beach and a 4 legs buddy Farai

the month passed too quickly and I finally finished storing all the stuff from the year we lived in Benavente.
the vacations were all about building closets and cabinets in my home and hanging some treasures in the walls.Just a few hours on the beach to smell the salt sea and run a bit with Mini Mirtillo in the wet sand

but

since yesterday i know that i have to move again, south one more time, near the Majestic Serra Arrábida

so

it's boxing time again, looking for a home to live one year, a few days without internet, and carrying with love and care my studio | work

I'll miss my home, again, and my walls!

In a hurry and surrounded by boxes, I'm moving again. The school year finished and it's time to return to 'real' home, at least till September.

The girl who knitted love is in the Etsy vote for Which Notebook Would You Take Back to School? :)

See you in a couple of days!

let it be

Bubble Girl - gocco screenprint on wooden card

I've been looking for years for cards or postcards made of wood, of any size, to do some experiments like Gocco prints. Finally, i found them at:

http://www.nightowlpapergoods.com/ via http://indiefixx.com/ and i've already used them with my newest girl, Bubble Girl.

Unfortunately they are far away, in the USA, and i can't buy as much as i would like to, so i can do manyyyyyyyyy gocco prints as i wish. I really love these wooden cards!

Brian's Symphony is also a new work, born from an old project, ehehehe, which I've been preparing for almost a year. I wanted him to be perfect, since it is a tribute to my dear musician friend artist super cool person, with the most wonderful humour, from http://westernartglass.blogspot.com/ and http://westernartglass.etsy.com :))

It's an edition of 30 gocco prints on paper, 4 journals, 4 gocco and hand illustrated and i'll do some bags for underwear too.

Growing Smiles is my way to say Thank You to all the wonderful people who are always by my side, you have me too by yours !
