Envelope Art

I love embellishing and altering the envelopes before I send out anything to anyone. These are some that I made for sending out molies (moleskine sketch books) to members in the moleskine exchange group I belong to. I had much fun making them. I hope they bring as much happiness to the receivers as they did to me while making them.

Letting Go

I’ve been working on this for a while. I finished it today. Not really sure what the title should be but its about letting go of sad, painful and ugly things in my life.

Despite how dark this page is, because its about letting go then its cause for happiness.

Happiness!

Newly finished, old page…

This was an old visual journal page I started months ago. I was finally able to finish it last weekend.

MacBook Cover

I finally had the chance to make a cover for my macbook. I’ve been working on this for the past two nights. I used the leg of an old worn out jeans as the base, fabric glue to stick the fabric cutouts, some rhinestones, old buttons and hand stitchery.

Here it is on my laptop…

Happiness!

James & The Giant Peach and The Little Prince

Those stories are one of my favorites. As I tribute to their authors Roald Dahl and Antoine de Saint Exupéry and one of my favorite ilustrators, Lane Smith, I made paper dolls of the characters.

Meet the main cast of James & The Giant Peach…

1. Oldman with the green things, 2. James, 3. Ms. Spider, 4. Ms.Lady Bug, 5. Mr. Grasshopper, 6. Mr. Earthworm, 7. Ms.Glow Worm, 8. Mr. Centipede, 9. Silk Worm Made with bighugelabs.com/flickr/

I believe I understand The Little Prince more than ever now that I’m older. The metaphors, the archetypes, they all make a deeper sense now.

“It is only through the heart that one can truly see. What is essential is invisible to the eye.” -Antoine de Saint Exupéry
