naked autumn II

The Tiny Silhouette Tree collection 





Remember the naked trees from the last year? I've added some more to the collection, this time in a smaller format, to collect and/or share them.
They are a limited edition, screen printed with gocco in autumnal colors.







Root Tree I





Root Tree II





Root Tree III




Root Tree is a collection of 4 different mixed media hanging hoops.
They are screen printed on linen and hand stitched with cotton threads to give a more 3D touch.
It's like dressing my elegant naked trees that I'll keep drawing and adding to the collection, both screen prints on paper and mixed media hanging pieces.
These trees are beautiful to collect and mix with my other hoop artworks. I keep hanging them in the wall to take pics to the group, and I get a happy colorful lyric wall that makes me smile.


It's Friday, have a happy day!

Prehensile Beard pack





Knit Knit Jornalito




Knit Knit is the recent jornalito (handmade journal). It has soft pink pages and a first silver one with a vintage look label on.
The Prehensile boy/beard has now a special and fun spot! I've created a special pack with journal and customized pencil on a hand screenprinted cotton bag with the same design.
The pencils are very special and elegant, at least for me, they are customized in the only Portuguese fabric of pencils - Viarco - which is producing pencils since 1936.

The good news of the week: I received my exemplar of The New Artisans, a fantastic delightful book where my work is featured and I'll write and post about it very soon.

In the meantime have a wonderful weekend, I'll be on a colorful place during the weekend participating on a craft fair .

cahier mood




It's the same as - I'm on a roll making handmade journals named Jornalito (Small Journal).
I've been posting here some pictures from the process, however I promise that I'll do a better report next time because it's an interesting printing folding cutting process and I'm fascinated.
Made with recycled kraft cardboard cover, screen printed with gocco, stitched bound and also with a bookmark included.
The collection is growing:
