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!

Painting and drawing

As you know if you have been in my blog before, I love painting children.  The main reason being that we all need more innocence in our life, and so, anytime I can help a child, I consider it my duty. 
Our duty, as human beings.



I will continue to paint children, to keep trying to find the sweetness of innocence and the joy of our inner child. Thanks for visiting. May you have a beautiful day. ♥

Gelatin printing AND Art Foamies!

I love gelatin printing and I love stamps! Today's project is a lot of fun and super relaxing!
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!


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...


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!
