Owls!

Owl I made using socks!

 I found out that I have certain obsessions that come and go! My new obsession is with owls. I always liked owls, but now that they are back in fashion again I like them even more!

Making this little guy was so easy anyone can do it!

This is a painting in oils I made using an old Nordstrom card as inspiration!

My next projects are more owls using pastels and maybe an owl plush toy!!!

It's Spring in the other side!

September 21st is when Spring starts in my country, Bolivia, and it is one the most beautiful seasons down there! Here in the US is Fall which I really like as well because trees start changing colors from yellow, orange, red to brown. I do not have pictures from Bolivia, but I do have some Spring flowers from Glacier Nat. Park!

These wild flowers were very small!

 Dandelion!

Next time I will not forget to bring my camera to Bolivia and snap some cool pics!

Feliz Primavera!

Ipad apps!

A cartoon of my sweet dog Cinnamon!

One of the applications that I really like for the iPad is Brushes . This painting application is very easy to use and you can create original artwork from anywhere!! I give Brushes 9 out of 10 starts, now if they had a better way to share your artwork would be awesome :)

Love birds!

These birds reminded me of the love I have for my sweet husband, Marco! Happy early second wedding anniversary love!

I took these pics with my Canon and edited using photoshop!

Shih Tzu silhouette

This is another oil painting of my dog, but this time I wanted to show her silhouette and her top knot is the cutest!! It was a very easy project and anyone can do it. It took me about two hours to finish it!!!!

Taking a break!

This week I started writing my dreaded Comprehensive Examination paper for graduation. I am in a Counseling Psychology program that is coming to an end this June. Every time I have something important to do I procrastinate!

My mind finds other better things to do like painting, drawing or even cleaning the house! This week I finished a painting for my living room and I love how it looks!

It is inspired from a bird I found online!

Now it is hanging on my wall!!

Ok, I should go back to my writing before I find other distractions!!!

Flowers!

Last Sunday, one of my friends from school brought me flowers from the farmer's market and they are so pretty and different that I couldn't resist taking some pics!....

I have never gone to a  farmer's market here in California and these flowers made me want to go and buy cute and different types of flowers.

I wish I knew the name of this one!

                                

Looks like a wild rose!

Besides takings pictures of dogs I love taking flower portraits. My camera takes decent close up pictures, but I think a macro lens would be awesome! (but first I need to find a paid job, qua qua qua)

Apple Amigurumi!

This is not your regular apple!

Another toy I made this month is this delicious apple that would look adorable anywhere in your kitchen! It comes with a little gift inside:

Oh no, a tiny worm!

Don't worry this worm is harmless and wants to be your friend!

Yummy yummy!

(Esta es otra de mis creaciones hechas a crochet!)

I heart my Canon!

I just wanted to share some interesting shoots I took with my new cam while I was in the city!

Grace Cathedral in San francisco

California and Powell street! One of the best spots to take pictures because you can see the builduings and the cable cars!

Some pretty flowers!

This pictures are edited using photoshop!

I can't wait for the summer to be here to enjoy the sunlight!

Hearts for Haiti!

My practicum site (CHAC) is organizing a fund raising for Haiti and they came up with the  idea of making cards for Valentine's day and without thinking for a second I volunteered to create 10 cards!
The cards that will be sold for only $5 each and all proceeds will go to Haiti. The theme was hearts, so these are my creations and I might sell them online too!!

Penguin Love

Kittens

I love birds!

Little piggy!

For her!

An owl was a must!

For Him!

Golden hearts!

I spent the entire weekend making the cards, but no complains ....I would be doing this the rest of my life :)

Happy early Valentine's day !

Origami= Stress reduction

Today I started to get anxious about my future and I hate that!!!....Some people drink, smoke, exercise, eat and have many other ways to cope with stress.....My way of coping is by creating something........anything.
I was playing with paper and learned to make these cute bunnies and yes, they made me feel better, at least for now!

Mommy Bunny!

Looking for mommy :(

Together at last :)

If you would like to make one of these you can go here and follow the instructions!

Bye!

More scenes from Vail Colorado!

I was very impressed by the beauty of Vail, Colorado. The snow, the trees and the beautiful mountains were the perfect elements for a relaxing week. I couldn't take my new camera to the slopes until the last day, so most of the pictures except the last two, are taken with my iPhone. 

Surprisingly  despite the cold, it was clear sunny!

The trees looked amazing and I felt I was in another world!

That's me trying to look like a pro...blah!

Some type of fruit from the trees!! they looked like cherries!

More iPhone apps!

So while I was in Vail the past week, I was researching more applications for the iPhone and found quite a few that I loved! One of them is called "Hipstamatic" and it is only 1.99. It is a photography app that takes vintage looking pictures. It comes with three free lenses and you can buy extra ones if you want. The pics came out very interesting and somewhat weird!

Vail, Colorado

Marco being silly!

On the lifting chairs

Cinnamon being cute!

This one looks like a scary movie!

Cinnamon's toy..creepyyyy!

And this one is back at home!

This app can turn any boring pic into an interesting, scary, intriguing one! Just play with it and you'll be surprised!
