Updates and art
Hey artsy people!
About a year ago we move states, besides selling a house, renting another, decluttering/downsizing in between, and keeping an eye where we were going to live next.... it's been crazy to say the least.
After all that planning and organizing, we arrived to have the horrid Siberian express cold... and no furniture 😂😅😓
I can laugh about it now, but seriously it was awful.
When the nice weather finally arrived, I tripped on the concrete patio, while gardening- and broke my wrist. That took many months to be in pain, heal, rehabilitate my arm, all that while cussing and being a very bad patient lol
The only thing that kept me going literally, was my loving family and painting.
I was going to say family and "Art", but then you were going to ask... who is Art? lol
So, now that I can open the paint bottles by myself again, I want to revive this blog, and my art channel and invite you to do the same, in case you were uninspired.
Spring is around the corner and I can hear the mojo calling my name.
Thank you for reading this, for visiting, and for keeping me company! 💓
I'll link some of the art videos here, let me know how you are doing and what you've been up to!

Gelatin printing AND Art Foamies!
I love gelatin printing and I love stamps! Today's project is a lot of fun and super relaxing!
Then select a shape, any shape you like or something that matches the celebration of the month (Easter bunny, Christmas tree, Hearts, flowers etc)
Grab your Art Foamies, In this case I am using an alphabet from Balzer Designs and I love it!
Pick a color, roll it on your gel plate, make marks as extra texture then place your paper with your mask on it to create a "negative space" print and...
Grab your deli paper HERE
Print or add layers to old printed paper. Watch me printing in this video HERE
Then select a shape, any shape you like or something that matches the celebration of the month (Easter bunny, Christmas tree, Hearts, flowers etc)
Grab your Art Foamies, In this case I am using an alphabet from Balzer Designs and I love it!
Once you select what mono-printed paper you want, make your "mask out of a sturdy paper. I used a folder paper from the dollar store!
Add your Art Foamies Stamps!
I wanted the word Sparkle, but you can personalize with any favorite word!
If you are not into gelatin printing (yet!) then simply paint your shape and have fun with the Art Foamies stamping!
Watch the video HERE and let me know what you think!

Awesome Art Foamies Stamps! Colorful Tutorial & Techniques
I love totally creating art with stamps! I was invited by the Art Foamies to create a project iwht some of their designs and the #ArtFoamies are simply wonderful!
These I'm using in this art video are from Sandra Evertson and from Gina Ahrens.
The steps are easy and I enjoyed every single part of the art process:
I worked on a large journal page but it can definitely be done on a canvas.
First step, Gesso the surface and paint a background with your favorite colors, I selected sky blue.
[Pic 1]
I made a template of the silhouette I wanted to use for a mask to avoid stamping in some areas:
[Pic 2]
With the botanical design I stamped in the background with different colors to give the background depth and interest: [Pic 3]
The heart Foamie was stamped on a colorful paper to collage it separately:
[Pic 4]
With a tissue paper, or deli paper, you can create a new design pattern paper to add as well in your composition. [Pic 5] - [Pic 6]
Click here to watch the free video HERE
[Pic 7]
The details of the face will be posted next!

Self portrait in Acrylic - Painting faces Modigliani style
This past February, painting for the 29 faces was an extra challenge. In my personal life I had 3 family members passing away. Not due to covd but the pandemic made things worse.
We drove to TX with the hope to see people -properly social distancing and all - but we ended stranded in a hotel, the roads closed due to ice, bunch of unexpected snow and all kinds of chaos.
We were ok even if we had very limited food, but many friends and family ended up with no electricity, no water and many other problems.
At the end we didn't see anyone, we had to just turn back and drive west.
My feelings and thoughts have been up and down and all I can say is...
It is totally true that art heals when needed. It helps your mental health. Sometimes it helps more, sometimes less, sometimes it takes a while to kick in, the healing while making art, but sending our hands and heart to work on creating, keeps the mind from going in that other circle that might take a while to heal.
Plus, art helps You and also brings a smile to Another far away person that sees it. 
I know for myself, looking at all the faces people created this month, felt very good.
This is what I managed to create. Click HERE to watch this video

Much love to you ♥
