New Necklaces

2012-02-25T09:39:00.000Z

Hello there, how are you?

I hope you are having a good day!

Finally the necklaces are done and are available to buy in my shop. It's been real fun working on this project. Yes, planning and experimenting and thinking about the packaging is what makes this kind of work very attractive! The drawing bit has been my evening entertainment. I only made four of each shape (triangle & oval) and all come with a little watercolour drawing and neat packaging.

Hola, como están?

Espero que esten teniendo un día estupendo!

Por fin los collares ya están listos y disponibles en mi tienda. Ha sido muy divertido trabajar en este proyecto. Si, planear y experimentar y pensar en el envoltorio es lo que hace de este trabajo muy atractivo! Por las noches estuve entretenida dibujando estos collares. Solamente hice cuatro de cada forma (triángulo & ovalado) y todos vienen con un pequeño dibujo de acuarela y envoltorio bonito.

By the way, the other day I saw someone on another social network recommend this amazing article by Meagan Visser, quite interesting!!

Some updates and gossips

2012-02-18T18:07:00.002Z

Some new drawings for the year

It's been so long, yes!

I've been quite busy at work that all I felt like doing when at home was simply nothing :)

But apart from that I have been working and drawing and trying some new materials and currently working on some projects for Hey Sosi shop, making new triangle cushions, notebooks, cards, hand painted necklaces and a new art print. There is some nice colour palette going on, you know for Spring and Summer. Soon I will update my shop and blog with yummy pics, starting with the necklaces, so keep your eyes sharp!

///////////

Other news of interest I've got a new stockist, first time in the UK! Yeah!!

It's a gallery-shop situated in Hull. Another online venue where you can buy some of my products is here. This started about two months ago when they got in touch with me offering me this opportunity. I hope it goes well :D

///////////

Ehhhh if you leave in London or are planning to visit in the near future and like italian cuisine and a nice cocktail, make sure you go to Antico. The lovely head chef there who happens to be my brother and his team will make you finger lickin' food! I am definitely going when I'm in London next time. Yes indeed!

New Cards

2012-01-18T12:26:00.000Z

Hello there!

I've been updating my shop this morning with some new screen-printed cards that I made not so long ago!

Originally I made them thinking about Valentines Day, but you can use them for any other special moment! What do you think?!

Hola!

He estado actualizando mi tienda con estas cartas serigrafiadas que hice hace poco tiempo!

En realidad los hice para San Valentin, pero también se pueden usar para cualquier otra ocasión especial! Que os parece?!

Hello my friends! It's been a while since my last post...almost a month! I've been wanting to post in the beginning of the week but the usual excuse...been quite busy at the studio

Ok last Saturday I went to the Renegade craft fair that was taking part for the first time in London! I met up with Kerry from Seventy Tree and Eva from Misako Mimoko that was accompanied by her partner Gabriel.

I was so happy to be surrounded by great people and especially because I admire the work of these lovely people..had a great time with them!

We also met Jess Quinn and her lovely creations...i fell in love with her cloth art dolls!

Here are some pictures from the craft fair...not the best that you can get, I was too shy to take pictures :(

Kerry made a fantastic-marvelous post about the fair!

Later on in the afternoon I met up with my brother for a quick coffee before catching the train back to Leeds. It was great to see him!! I'll be posting about him in a few months time.

▱▱▱▲▱▱▱

Also i'm busy updating my shop.

Hopefully by Monday I will be posting about the new items that you can find in there!

See you soon!

It's been a few long weeks of work. Finally all the projects that I had under my responsibility are done and now it's time to show some new craft goodies that I made!

These new production of necklaces are being sold -for the moment- in a lovely newly opened shop here in Leeds. They left me some space to show off the goodies and I've taken advantage of it to think and create the display just the way I wanted!

⁍‿⁍ I'm very very happy with the results ⁍‿⁍

About 2 weeks ago I received through the post a special gift from my friend Monica from Jiro Studio! It's a lovely foldable shopping bag that se made and I must say that it's one of the most practical hand made items that I own.

I put it at the test and all marks came out positive...

it's durable ▴ fill it with many items ▴ it's practical

and above all it's lovely

♡ Thank you so much Monica ♡

Hace un par de semanas recibí por correo un regalo especial de mi amiga Monica de Jiro Studio! Es un bolso de compras compacto hecho por ella, y debo de decir que es uno de los artículos mas prácticos que tengo en casa.

es duradero ▴ llenalo con muchas cosas ▴ es muy practico

y sobre todo es precioso

♡ Muchas gracias Monica ♡

Hello-Hola!

How is your month of August rolling on?
Como va el mes de Agosto?

New "Draw your own face" screen print in a mint green, soon in the shop
Nuevas laminas serigrafiadas "Pinta tu propia cara" pronto en la tienda

▲▲▲▲▲▲

My last post was ages ago...I've been so so busy this month that I hardly have any time for anything. I'm helping out a friend in a graphic project for her new shop and it requires a lot of work.

Apart from that I've been creating some new goodies. I wanted to expose my drawings on a different medium that is not paper, so I've dared to make some necklaces and key-rings! It's been keeping my evenings busy, deciding on beads and packaging. I'm almost done...next step is the photo-shoot and listing them in my shop.

Do you remember the "Draw your own face" screen print tote bags I posted about here?
Well I've made a new batch of this design but on paper instead. I love the green mint colour...fresh for the summer!
◐When they are all ready and packed you can buy them◑
Also my busy hands were occupied doing a big pom-pom for this lovely project of Tony Broomhead. Take part...it's fun!!
╳╳╳╳╳

Mi ultimo post fue hace tiempo...He estado tan ocupada este mes que apenas tengo tiempo para nada. Estoy ayudando a una amiga mía en un proyecto de diseño gráfico para su nueva tienda que requiere mucho trabajo.

Aparte de eso, he estado creando nuevas cositas. Quise cambiar el medio que suelo usar para mis dibujos que no sea papel, así que me he atrevido en hacer algunos collares y llaveros! Me tenían muy entretenida con los abalorios y el packaging. Estoy casi lista...próximo paso es la sesión de fotos y subirlos en la tienda.

Os acordais del post sobre las bolsas serigrafiadas de "Pinta tu propia cara"?
Pues imprimi el diseño esta vez sobre papel. Me encanta su color verde menta...fresco para el verano!!
◐Cuando estén listas y empaquetadas las podrán comprar◑
También estuve haciendo un pom-pom grande para este bonito proyecto de Tony Broomhead. Animate y participa...es divertido!!

The Return

It's been quite a while since my last post, just before departing
for my summer holidays. I've been a bit busy showing my sister around Leeds
and spending some quality time with her since I don't get to see her so often.
But it's gone way too far...I had to post something!

Firstly first, I recently downloaded the oh so popular Instagram application
and have been snapping pics all over...it's fun and I'm enjoying it a lot!
The following pictures are taken with that application, and are of some
new stuff i've been working on these days.

Han pasado un montón de días desde mi ultimo post, justo antes
de irme de vacaciones. Mi hermana esta aquí de visita y estuvimos paseando
por las calles de Leeds y pasando tiempo con ella, ya que apenas la veo
durante el año. Pero aun así tuve que sacar tiempo para dedicarlo a este post!

Recientemente baje del internet esta aplicación tan popular que todos
conocemos, Instagram y lo estoy disfrutando como un piojo!
Las siguientes imágenes están tomadas con esta aplicación de algunas
nuevas cositas que he estado trabajando últimamente.

Today's post is about two friends, great people and lovely artists who live in Malaga, my previous city of residence. I met Carol and Daniel whilst working for the same company and one thing brought us near, that thing is ART.

This is a mini showcase of their work, I hope you enjoy them!!

Carol's amazing collages and painting
signed under her nickname Betty Bundy

Carol's cute and sinister at the same time soft dolls

Recently she participated in a show called Fluor Freak Chowfor the annual festival in Malaga, "La Noche en Blanco".
They were a great success!!

Daniel's wonderful and mystical paintings
signed under his nickname Danielo

Daniel will soon be giving an exhibition at a gallery in Madrid!

It's done, my on-line shop is open since yesterday!!

I'm so happy that's finally done...after so many months working on this project, looking for inspiration, preparing the stock, doing the photo shoot, oh and so many bureaucratic procedures...i'm satisfied!

I must give an extra credit to my family, friends and good people from

my online contacts that gave me support and good advice

♡ THANK YOU ♡

This post is to present some of the new series of notebooks

that are currently being sold in the shop.

My inspiration came from the Lifeguard Towers of Miami Beach, Florida.

I found some interesting articles and guides explaining briefly the architectural styles/movements in the Miami Beach Art Deco District.

You can find them here and here.

Hello there! Hope you had a great weekend!!

My weekend was fantastic. My partner and I went for a day trip on Sunday to Scarborough, to celebrate his birthday. We fell in love with the place...it was like ♥ at first sight, beautiful.

We walked by the seaside were we met these guys.

We walked around town as well and took some curious pictures.

I fell in love with the colour palette of the whole town.

Look at this tourist bus...isn't it pretty with that bow??

Then we went to the Luna Park and had a fun time...we rode this colourful Ferris wheel and then we hopped on the Bumper cars and had such a laugh, it was great!!

After having a delicious fish 'n' chips, we had the most amazing ice cream

at Alonzi's Harbour Bar. Such a lovely place, still thrilling with its original 1940's decoration. And the Banana Twist ice cream we had was the perfect dessert!!

And to satisfy my sweet tooth my partner got me a bag filled with candy floss yummmm...

Our sea side adventure was over by this time, so we went home

La próxima vez que vengan...iremos ahí de excursión!!

Some colour for a grey day

2011-03-15T12:06:00.000Z

It's a grey day today.

I want it to be sunny.

In the meantime let's fill the grey background with some colours!!

These are some of the digital illustrations i've been working on these days.

The pattern is taken from 3 drawings i did a couple of months ago.

The originals have the same idea, but are not exactly the same,

which makes the process more playful.

My influence for the colours used, comes from Swiss artist Paul Klee.

These are the original drawings...the new ones are more colourful!!

▲ The Triangle ▲

2011-03-03T18:33:00.000Z

hello there!

it all started with this drawing i made of a triangle divided in various layers, coloured in with primary colours and filled in with lines and lines...

...it kinda looks like an illustrative image of a volcano or a mountain

http://www.davidrumsey.com/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gscmcm_850_e_1904_xs01.pdf

the final pieces are in total 10 editions.

they are hand screen printed and painted by hand, signed and numbered.

each print measures approximately 594 x 420 mm (A2 paper size).

you can buy some at the On The Wall art gallery and print shop here in Leeds.

if you're interested in any way feel free to get in touch :)

Week of ♥ Love ♥

2011-02-08T18:28:00.000Z

hello everyone!!

this week of "love" started quite nice...it actually started last Friday.

i received through the post this package from Anthony Zinonos, of these cameras i bought from him...originally i ordered for two, but he sent me three...yuuhhhuuu!!

☁ It made my day ☁

Thank you Anthony :)

and because i've been a good crafty-active girl this week and because on Monday next week is the official "love" day, well i'd like to say something:

Love isn't celebrated just one day

Love isn't only about colour red and hearts

Love is everywhere

Love is everyday

this image is a view from my apartments' balcony

you don't get this kind of view everyday here in England

i love it when life gives you gifts like this.

well hello there :)

a couple of days ago my friend Stella from Athens received her Sosi bag and this is what she made out of it!! it looks amazingly colourful...reminds me of fruit sweets

thank you Stella, i hope you enjoy your bag!

it's been a fuzzy week for me

do you know when you get that situation when everything that you do is wrong or ends up looking really ugly? well that was my week until today. i was planning in doing loads of stuff like finishing my notebooks, get started with my postcards, cutting and pasting paper cut-outs, but nothing worked out! i even wanted to post some images from my "mes amis" sketchbook...i got really upset, so i decided to let my frustration go away and relax with banoffee(banana+toffee) muffins...yummmm

image taken from : http://www.florida.co.uk/places/miami-and-miami-beach.php

and talking of colour, here's a picture for the weekend!

these are two art deco style buildings on Ocean Drive in Miami.

they look like cotton candy

some day, when i go to Miami i'll take many pictures of its buildings and lifeguard huts.

hello! hope you had a great weekend...

this post is dedicated to my "draw your own face" tote bags...yuuhhuu!!

i was thinking of starting a new series of drawings that consisted in keeping the same patron of the hair and then draw different faces.

instead i decided to transfer the design to a bag keeping the area of the face blank, so anyone who had the bag could customise it with their face!

so it was working time and special thanks to Joe and Jonny who let me use their studio.

these bags are screen-printed by hand and come in a lovely carton case with a permanent laundry marker, so you can draw!!

...and this is my version of the "draw your own face" tote bag. i use it for almost everything...mostly for food shopping cause i can fit my daily market buys!!

now i have to go to the post office and send a package to my friend who lives in Athens!

weekend is here and there's lots to do! it's been a busy week playing around with paper and markers.

"my take it easy plan"

i'll be finishing the notebooks, drawing some brooches and finishing up the packaging of the tote bags, which i'll be posting about them next week.

"miss circle"

this is one of three digital designs that i've been working on for a week or so.

it has been real fun creating my new friends, they are so simple and happy.

i would like to screen print them!!

Next week's post, i will introduce "mr square" and "miss triangle".
