My Art ♥

Yesterday started, officially, SUMMER! :)

This summer, even more than the others before this, I'm back to my illustrations and drawings and paintings -not that I left them but I wasn't drawing for myself but for University and it is not the same thing, not at all, so...-. I'm creating so much that when night comes I am extremely exhausted and have no energy, not even for a tiny dream.

Some months ago I created my Flickr page and I've been unploading my art, it's a great place to find great artist and awesome inspiration! If you wanna check it out and comment or whatever you want, you are welcome to do it. Oh, and as I guess you know, I'm still on my "photo inspired" project which was to take a picture and draw it, re-inventing the people on it or giving it some message. So, if you'd like to be drawn or you'd like to surprise someone with their own illustration just send me your photos to my email (safiri.7@hotmail.com) and I'll be drawing it soon.

Christmas: Well, as a since forever Christmas' lover I could not not write something about it in here, right?
This year, it seems to me, that Christmas came faster, like it was in a hurry for a good and fun celebration after a long and also fast year of work and new experiences. We are already two days from that wonderful and joyful night and I am not ready yet. Why not ready? well, because I haven't bought/made all the presents nor I bought all the ingredients for my cookings, neither fully decorated my home. Nevertheless, I am already full of that mysterious tickling feeling that every Christmas Eve comes down from the sky and embrace us with lights and joy and love. I love it, it reminds me when I was little and I'd got all nervous and excited waiting for Father Christmas and not his presents exactly, but that feeling that he brought meaning that it was a good year and that a new year would come soon to start over and continue some things or end some others.

Alright, I think this is everything for now. Yeah. I'll go back to my drawing, I'm doing an especial "Merry Xmas" illustration and I wanna finish it before I get to travel to the city and but all the ingredients for my cooking that I have left.

I won't be posting until after this weekend so:
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Lots of love and twinkling stars.
Safi.

PD: Today I've learn: I haven't forgotten how to paint with colour pencils (it's been a long time I don't use them!*) ♥

Un mes feliz

Bien, como dice el título de este post: "Un mes feliz". Diciembre es así para mí porque significa el final de las clases en la Facultad, armar el arbolito de Navidad, Noche Buena, Fin de Año, meterse a la gloriosa pileta, juntarse con amigos y meterse en más piletas, comer cosas que no comes durante ningún mes del año y finalizar otro año más, que bueno o malo siempre es un alivio que termine.

Como siempre desde que empecé la carrera que amo -Bellas Artes- antes de que termine el año y de que definitivamente empiecen mis vacaciones voy a las librerias de la ciudad y me lleno de papeles, fibras, pinturas y cosas que seguramente arruinaré en las vacaciones. Léase: usar hasta hartarse!
Me gusta preparar el arbolito el mismo 8 de Diciembre y después, de ahí en adelante, pasar ratos libres haciendo decoraciones (sí sí, a mano!) para la casa, preparar todo no solo un día sino dos semanas hasta Noche Buena. Este año: ORIGAMI! guirnaldas de origami, centros de mesa de origami, servilletas de origami, etc. ORIGAMI! ♥ Y como el año pasado, voy a invitar a mis primitos a que vengan a casa a cocinar las galletitas que vamos a comer durante las fiestas y que vamos a poner bajo el árbol para Papá Noel junto con un vaso de leche. Es realmente divertido cocinar con ellos, verlos decorar cada galletita como si fuese un tesoro, ayudarlos a que se limpien los dedos y las bocas después de probar un poquito de todo "para ver cómo salió" y después robarnos unas cuantas y comerlas con un rico té o leche.

A fin de año me ocurre también que se me vienen mil y un proyectos para empezar en el año nuevo. Me lleno de una extraña energía que se acumula en mi garganta y que me deja terriblemente inquieta, hago varias cosas a la vez y me acuesto a la noche intranquila para levantarme a la mañana siguiente más inquieta todavía! Las vacaciones es lo que más se parece a lo que va a ser el resto de mi vida: Una búsqueda y una aventura permanente! Y el año que viene, creo, va a ser una Gran Aventura asi que imaginense mi persona yendo y viniendo por toda la casa con tela, ovillos de lana, papeles, fibras, y demás materiales que llenan la mesa del comedor, a un costado de ellas me siento yo con una taza de té, y mis manos que se empiezan a mover cual máquina de espontaneidad... realmente muy divertido! :)

En fin, les quería dejar este video del sountrack de Las Crónicas de Narnia que me gusta mucho y que siempre siempre siempre me deja un gustito hermoso adentro.

Nos leemos màs cerca de Navidad, seguro, con fotos de lo que se está volviendo mi casa :P

Hoy aprendí: salir a caminar a la mañana te deja con doble energía para el resto del día!
Bon chance!

XMas and the heat

It was a real mess to decorate the cookies but really fun also!

Sooooo hot!!! It's so bloody hot today!!! Swimming pool is not ready yet (maybe tomorrow) and there's nowehere fresh to sit or lay.
Back to our business.
Christmas was great, really really fun... even when a firework exploded almost on my face, was cute not to burn and see those pink lights so near ^^
My cousins and I bake ginger and honey cookies and everybody ate them! And we also ate ice-cream and nuts and a lot other Christmas stuff.
Oh, and I got a tiger t-shirt, a mannequin (that I called Lizzie after Elizabeth I), a pair of flip flops, the last book of my favourite cartoonist, a perfum, a book with fifty Ex-libris and the book of Percy Jackson and the Olympians... really good stuff.

I'm remaking a dress after another dress I got in a Flea-market... I think is gonna be really pretty after some changes. I'll post a picture later.


Bye for now.
Today I've learn: reading classics make you travel.

Christmas Lights

Oh, well. Among all of the Christmas songs that were created since... well, since singing, I've choose this one from Coldplay because it's just ADORABLE! And I'm not just saying this because I absolutely adore them but because it's a really good song. I like it, at least.

Christmas Lights... with my sister and brother we play to count the houses that have christmas lights on there fronts, or some red bow or something Christmas-y. And though every year people seem to put less and less decorations, it makes me very happy to still count a few of them.



Nothing else for now.
I think I'm gonna go out to my backyard now and draw a bit or read "A Christmas Carol" (which I read every year before Christmas Eve) or A series of Unfortunate events... or something.

Bye for now.
Today I've learn: 7 days until Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XOXX

December is AWESOME!

I always had a thing for December, for me it has always been the best month of the year because classes finished and in came Christmas and New Year. But this year, I think, it has been the best December of my life. Why?
Well, I just had my very first Fashion Show, not a whole collection but a dress in the collection we made with my partners at the Fashion Designing Course I attend. The theme was CIRCUS and I came with the idea of a Fortune Teller, the ones from the old Circus, the ones from the 1930s and, well, this was the result:

(Modeled by Guada Moyano)

I'm very very very happy with the dress, very! It was kind of difficult at first because the design I made was complicated, but everything turned out great!!
More news, well, just yesterday my teacher from the course sent me an email asking me if I wanted to be part of a group he created for Independent Designers... OMG!!! You can't imagine how loud I shout!!! I mean, I just started this year with the course and with sewing... I've always liked drawing clothes and stuff like that in my illustrations and now, and now, and now. I inmediately said yes, even though next year is gonna be busier than this, it is an oportunity I can not let pass, right??
Well, I'm so happy.

What else?? I made this video about Espon-Illustration, which is an idea I've been working on lately about drawing anywhere with anything you have on hand.
(Here's the link)

And, what else?? I'm doing amigurumis right now, I'll keep doing them 'cause it's a lot of fun and very relaxing ^^ Then I'll post something... oh, about all the sweet food I'm gonna cook for this Christmas.

Goodbye for now.
Today I've learn: I really really really love Mori girls' style.

XOXO
