Things falling into place

It has been a while since I wrote here. The excuse is always that I am "busy", which is a true statement but I have time to watch all my favorite shows so....

The new year has been filled with excitement. Shows at Lord and Taylor and Macy's. Lot's of custom orders, learning new skills and taking more risks. I love the results and learned tons from the mistakes I made along the way.  The most important one is - the right tools make your life easier. Never knew what a Ring clamp or wire bobbin were and now I do and my fingers thank me for that.

Finally this month I was able to get the final details done and I have moved and updated my website, updated my fine art america, and etsy store. It took a lot for me to let go of my Yahoo account, but took the plunge and love the more streamlined look of the new one. Much easier to tweak and connect directly to my other sites.  :D

There are some project that I am working on and the Art show at the Philadelphian that is coming up and I have a couple of paintings that I will work on in the next couple of weeks.  Also A few shows coming up at Macy's for Mother's day week. Stay tuned for the specific dates, locations and times!

Days 1097- 1184 (Jan 1-March 29)

The  New Year arrived and I got Busy!!!
Coming up with Intentions for year 4 was slightly more difficult, because I have been doing this for 3 years and really didn't know how to "spice up" things. So here is what I came up with:

1) Create daily  - paint, draw, make a piece of jewelry, take a picture
2) Hone new skills: Take a class, join a group, read a book - Anything that will improve what I already do.
3) Find new venues : to show my Art, to sell my wares, to hang out with like minded people
4)Meditate daily to center myself and maybe even get some inspirational visions!

So far I have been doing great with most of my intentions. I am creating daily even though I no longer post them daily. I have taken 2 craftsy classes, one on painting and one on anatomy. I went on an instameet and met some really nice talented people. I have been visiting the art museum and sketching, also staring at beautiful paintings! I had a couple of Macy's Coty perfume Shows and an art show at Cake and the Beanstalk cafe. I have been meditating daily for 67 days straight for at least 30 min (though my goal is 5-30)
There are a couple of new opportunities coming up. And I am working on some new designs for jewelry pieces.
Looking forward to what the rest of the year has to offer, but it sure started great!

Here are some Highlights from the past 3 months.

Days 1054 - 1096 (End of the year post)

What can I say about 2013?  this is the 3rd year of creating daily and it has changed my life completely. Not only have my skills improved but I had the confidence to take charge and make changes and take chances. This holiday season was the best ever since Sis and I got together and became Moon Sirens.
The jewelry side of my creativity is doing amazingly well, my name pendants were a big hit!  Yes and my rubber band bracelets too :)
I know I had promised to keep up better with the blog, but the shows got in the way and if I have a choice to create or write I always choose creating.

Before I post pictures from this past month  of creating, I would like to thank everyone who supported and cheered me on this year,Cosmos Philly  for the beautiful article they did on my artistic journey, Coty Perfumes and Shoprite super market for hiring me as a vendor and all the wonderful people who came to my shows, visited my website and my etsy store .  All of your love and support have given me the courage to continue creating daily one more year! My goals will change slightly and this time i will not promise to write blogs even weekly. But I will keep everyone updated.

I cannot believe that on Tues Dec 31st I would be creating for 1096 days straight (and yes because I am so good at math i realized I was about 10 days off in my counting LOL) !!!
ok...
Here are some of the many creations I made during the end of November and all of December.

Early this morning I finished my Sugarskull painting

Days 1007 - 1050 Catching up again!

Hi all,
and once again I didn't post even weekly here but have been updating most of my work on FB.
October was an awesome month, with lots of preparation and new inspirations.
I didn't have luck  with the Paris exhibition but I had so much fun campaigning and having all of my friend's and family's support. My paintings also didn't make it into the small treasures exhibition this year.  Ahhh... I have to say this is the first time I am feeling like all my fellow artists who were not understood for their point of view!  On to more exciting things.

Both months I have taken tons of pictures of moon, sunrises, sunsets and nature. Big energy painting was completed and am working on 3 smaller paintings, one of them being a self portrait of my sugar skull I was for Halloween

This past week I have been hit with a bad cycle of insomnia. I am sure this is very common among creative people. So it has affected me, but it also has boosted my creativity. I just miss sleep.

Tomorrow starts the month of non Stop shows:
10-6pm St. Xavier  Holiday Bazaar  24th and Wallace

Dec 7&8 Greensgrow Holiday Bazaar

Dec 14  Shoprite

Dec 15 Greensgrow Holiday Bazaar

Dec 20&21  Macy's Coty counter Stores to TBD

Release  Acrylic on canvas  36x24

Painted my face for the Walking Dead  Event at the Art museum and won 2nd place :)
