I am Love. We are Love. I cannot live without Love and can't imagine I had to reach my 30's to figure what is LOVE. But it's never too late to understand the meaning of life, love, friendship. And cherish all the things you have in your life. I am an...

Embrace your imperfections of your Art Journal

You have ten minutes to play in your journal…. You keep on thinking about drawing or painting something…. But it NEEDS to be perfect…. I got you! Often times many glorify perfection while the concept of imperfection has found a haven in the realm of art journaling.

December it's here, welcome!

I can’t believe the end of the year it’s just around the corner. Being so close to the Christmas time makes me feel nostalgic, although the month of December was marked by the leaving of my father to other dimension. But even so, I said to myself I won’t let this passing cast a shadow on every December because I know this is not what my father wanted. In the last couple of months, I did a lot of…

#100dayproject - days 34-35-36

Here is the face for day 34! 35 and 36! While I stopped posting the faces here, they would very well appear on my journal day after day, with a big break in between.

Day 33! The message for today is …See the divine in you! We are all part of the divine and each and every one of us is a divine sparkle, even if most of the time we don’t see it! I took a little bit of time to add some color to her hair, lips, face…. So cute!

#100dayproject - day 30

Face no 30 is already in my journal and this was a little exercise on drawing almost without taking the pencil off the paper. I wanted to draw more like a square face, look at her eyes and nose, but also the face shape. Now I wanted her to wear a hat, but it’s looking weird – even so, I didn’t wanted to change her look just because tomorrow it’s another day and these are meant to be quick…

A little heart has so much to say! This started with a heart and then transformed into a face 🙂 And I thought a little color would go very well with it. work in progress I love this one so much! What do you think of her?

100dayproject - day 26

This face it’s more colorful than others, just because I liked how she turned after using the “magic” pencil, which is a multicolored pencil lead that leaves beautiful (and most of the time) unexpected marks on the paper 🙂 I like her very much!

A much-needed break from whimsical faces comes with this simple yet so relaxing page I did today in my art journal. Colorful circles with playful look that are perfect when you want to relax and create something beautiful without the fuss of calling it art… Be it or not, this was a call for relaxation process. At first I thought these circles can be flowers, but then a simple may-green gel pen…
