OWOH Blog Event

Welcome blog travelers!


For those that come here for the first time, the one thing you'll notice right away is that I love painting, and I love sculpting art dolls. When I remember I take pictures to make tutorials and post them here. I also have some demos in video.
I live in California, I'm a mom of teens and wife to a wonderful (and very patient) man. We have a cat that decided to move in to let us feed him, and we rescued a doggy last year, who now happily digs holes all over the back yard. They are a lot of fun to watch and great source of inspiration:

 

ACEO size



ACEO size

When I was little girl I started my art career in my grandma's wall. She let me make fabulous murals of mermaids and squirrels and all kinds of fun stuff. I wanted to grow up to be an opera singer or a mermaid.
Well, few decades later, and I did not become a singer (for the benefit of human kind) and thank goodness I am not a mermaid either! But I continued to draw, paint and create. If I'm not doing something creative, I'm not happy. And no one wants me cranky around here! LoL

For this awesome blog event I have 3 gifts. One for each area I like working on:

 An ACEO mermaid:

 A mermaid doll:

And a cool painting:

All you have to do is post here to say hello, tell me where you come from and what gift you want.
Everybody from everywhere in the world is welcome! (I am #164 in the OWOH list)

I will be making 3 different random selections for each gift, so each participating will be playing to get what they like best according to their post.
The results will be given on the 17th of February and I will contact each winner to get their info and send the art.

Good Luck!
...thanks for visiting, hope to see you again soon!
OH! And we are also having a OWOH giveaway at the touring baby blog!

  3. Hi, it was fun to learn some new things about you. Sweet pets and yes they are a great source of inspiration. I really love your paintings, but that doll is also special. Hard to pick a favorite really. I think the hands are calling to me though.

  4. I love your photos - the dog and cat are soooo cute and the prizes are stellar! We have 6 cats, 2 of whom are tuxes - very funny cats indeed. Please throw my name in your hat to win a prize and thank you so much for entering my giveaway! Lisa

  72. Ayala;
    I had a great time visiting your blog, etsy shop & YouTube vids. I am quite amazed at the realistic details of your dolls. The Snow bundle baby is heavenly. But, I think my fave is the one of the baby sucking its toes! I am a first time grannie to a little boychild and I can't wait for him to discover all the things that go in his mouth, and those things that
    shouldn't! He's only one and a half
    months old and growing big already.
    How do you make it slow down? Sigh. Hey, I'm a Libra also! (Oct. 4) Here's to making new friends and seeing mightly fine art
    along the way! Tina

  106. Hello from Australia!
    Awww...your cat & dog are adorable! Love the captions on the photos. (And I love the little ACEOs of them...)
    Your art is gorgeous! I've had a look at your Etsy store, and I've found a few things I'd buy if I had the money. (If the Yummy Christmas Cookies girl had brown hair, that would totally be me!! LOL)
    Can you please enter me in the drawing for your great giveaway? Thank you so much!!
    Hmmmm...if my name were to be picked, I'd be happy with any of them, but I love the mermaid ACEO!
    You're more than welcome to visit my blog, where I'm also having a OWOH giveaway! I'm number 591...

  107. I do love your hands! It would be great to receive it but I am afraid I live a bit too far from you.
    Very nice paintings of yours.
    You've already been in my favourite for several months.

  127. Such a wonderful selection! Any of your creations would be a wonderful prize, but if I had to choose, I am most drawn to the hands. I think it is a very simple piece that says so much:-)
