La pasiòn nunca muere

Passion never dies!

Only if we let go but this force may

push anyone who`s brave enough to tap on it!

Passion to go for what you love no matter the

obstacles, no matter the fears and doubts one may

hold, one has to follow the passion for life

and keep feeding the burning fire of the heart!

This are new pages on my fabric journal, I added

some photoshop work and I am loving it! 

The writing says: 

Pies pa`què los quiero si tengo 

alas para volar!  

Some words from Frida that I

trully treasure, why shoud I want feet if I have 

wings to fly!

Of course she wrote them in a painful moment of

her life and I undesrtand how hard this had most been for her

but this words help me when I feel frustrated and things

get hard, no one will escape the hands of frustration

once or twice or more... but hope is always there

and this words remind me of that!

I am Frida Kahlo

a bird in the sky of Art

a soul in the search of Love

the sun in the horizon of Life,

a woman of Passion.

Frida Bag

While I am making my fabric journal 

wich includes recycled jeans, I had a big

piece of this fabric and decide to make a 

cute bag for my old oil brushes, they are

forgotten in some corner of the studio and

nnow they can stand beautiful in some wall

and they will look fantastic!

They have been replaced and I am not sure

if maybe one day I`ll go back and talk to 

them or with them again,  for now they

have a cool place to rest... 

I`ve used what I`ve been practicing with my 

Fridas and didn`t know how this fabric would react

but I think is cool, maybe I`ll make a jacket

with Frida on the back!

Wouldn`t it be cool to have a collection

of this, I got to make some time for that and 

find the right jacket!

I hope you are inspired and try something new,

step out of the comfort zone and amaze your self

with how wonderful and creative you are,

you just got to do it!

Love...

Levitating

Yes, she is levitating! But ho, this wasn`t 

on purpose! Lol!

I am experimenting with this new idea of 

making quilted dolls and of course, I

 don`t know everything about it!

I am not new at sewing but totally new

to quilting wich is a whole fantastic world!

Now I know I have to be really careful 

in the placement of the doll when I am 

attaching her to the background!

There most be a trick to that for even though

I pined her, she moved!  Maybe she 

wants to fly!

But I like the way she turned out even 

though she`s not perfectly standing, the

bright colors and the new techniques on

sewing her is giving me lots to experiment 

with! To be honest this wasn`t easy to make

and  it was at times painful!

Some parts of this process were a lot of fun

like the painting but that`s were I have the

most experience with, sewing in a brand new way

is something I have to keep on experimenting!

Isn`t it exciting to find something you like

and be able to explore it and grow with it?

I do love that! :)

This is how she should be standing originally

but I love the naive feel it gives her from being

tilted, what do you think?  Should I crope it and

frame it straight or keep her the way she turned

 out?  Please vote!

Sewing my heart out!

 In my days at fashion designer and textile

 school didn`t think about sewing could be

part of an art piece, it is just recently that I 

decided to incorporate it in my work and

I am having  a blast of creativity!!

I am not using complicated techniques

just what comes to me when I am creating,

again, I am following what is calling my

heart and I am combining different media

and I just feel renewed with my sewing

background and it promises lots of days

of fun creating!

To me, it is like painting with different media,

I am adding the same kind of designs I usually do

 in my paintings but I`ve always loved the idea of 

touching what is in the painting, it`s an 

exploration into another dimension!

I have a surprise for you to celebrate this valentine`s day,

I will post it tomorrow and I hope you 

like it so please come back and check it out! :)
