Day of the dead

There is something about Halloween or the day of the dead

(as we know it over Mexico city) that I adore!  It has never

frightened me, on the contrary, it makes my inner child go crazy

happy and creative! All those fun desings many artist have created 

over this theme are a huge inspiration to me and I love creatiing

my own caracters as well!

Maybe is because this caracters can be so cute, maybe

because the eyes can be awkward, maybe it`s because they are at the end

good souls and that shows, whimsical caracters are my favorites!

Of course the originals of this paintings look a lot better for this photos

 are a little blurry! This one up here is holding a cute kitty cat, Lol!  I love the

 way they look happy! Down bellow is a coqueta! Spanish word for flirting! Lol!

So to continue with my Tehuanas, I decided to make a few with this

theme! Challenging but fun, it was hard to figure out how to bring it

all together, but I am happy with what I did, of course being an artist is
a long term process, no magic creations appear suddenly in your table
as many may think,  is very hard work and a lot of  trials and errors to
bring your eyes the final work!

I love this new pieces, although they were a challenge, I do like that I went foward 

and completed them for at some point I thought I have ruined them! Yes, I get scared
sometimes, even though some may think I am super woman at painting! Lol!
I hope you like them too!
They are listed over my Etsy shop!

 I also share with you some news about Hands and Heart Online comunity,

there are three great new groups, one fun acrylic painting featuring this cute

witch, a perfect project to get started painting with this medium, is fun, easy

and you may download the videos! I am sure you will love the project!

Fabric Art Dolls

A group to bring you hours of sewing fun! I have added three different workshops

in this group, all of them about sewing of course but also quilting, painting over 

fabric and creating your own designs so it`s super complete and inspiring

And lastly, a group to journal!  Do you love journaling? Better said,

do you love Artful Journaling?  This artistic expression is a favorite

and many of us want to learn more about it, practice and try new things, 

get inspired and so this group is intended to do so sharing techniques,

prompts and worksheets to work with!
