Needle felting!

I always wanted to try needle felting because it looks so easy and quick, but it is not that easy. First you need to be patient and focused or you can loose a finger (well kind of). I purchased a basic kit in an Asian art fair in San Francisco that included felt, needles, a sponge and instructions. The guy who was selling them has an online store here. 

Here are my creations:

Mom and little owl

buddies

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!!!
