Back!
Vacation homework - 100 covered buttons, lots of cut fabric and felt on my new Sizzix, and an unfinished lightbox...I forgot the tape! If I had the tape I would have finished it...i think... :)
A bit of my pleasure time, walks in the dunes, the perfect scenario to clear up our minds...

And after this "short" period of vacation, it's time to get back to work!
Last sunday downtown
And as usual...trying to have fun and work in quiet times:
Ana working :)
No próximo domingo lá estarei outra vez! Dia 24 de Agosto das 9h as 19h
quinta-feira, 31 de Julho de 2008
Homework
Making one of these light boxes is one of my vacations tasks...vacations are good make all those things you keep "on hold" for months, and rest a bit if you want :P . Sometimes, projects have to wait years, like my sculpey canes...I wonder if they are still usable :S

This is a light box...it seems if you have one of these you can take great pictures for your catalog/shop/portfolio...

sábado, 12 de Julho de 2008
Shopping day! (sort of...)
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Experiences :)
It all started with a "What if I make new and SO CUTE tags for my products?" with this, I end up search for cute deco-tapes, then cute blank card tags and then stamps... well, for deco-tapes I have no solution that buy them! There are lots of cute deco-tapes on Etsy, if you are looking for some, search there! Then blank cards, cutters, end up with a new item on my wishlist: A Sizzix! An advice: don't look for it, or you end up with less $150 hehehe kidding :) It's worth it! I will have mine in a few weeks...I hope! Neither the less, i'm already trying to imagine how can do my own extra and unique patterns for the Sizzix :) And then the stamps...I found lots of cute rubber stamps, then I tought: This is just carved rubber! Finaly a use for the kept old erasers from school time :)
Here it is: I know it is a bit clumsy, and the "leg" of the Y it's to the wrong side (opsss). I only found, by accident actualy, a rubber stamps tutorial after this experience :) I only search for tutorials when I can't figure out at all how to get a certain result, and for this you actualy just need a bit of imagination, a ordinary paper cutter and a ordinary rubber. But I'm posting the tutorial I found. It was made by Suki.

And, after finding this one, I explored a bit more this subject, and this is actualy the simpliest and easy way to start, then it's up to you to open those wings and explore "rubber stamps world" by your own :) I found this interesting "solution", but it seems much harder, since rubber is much easier to cut, but just for inspiration, I found this:
These were made by Amy Ybarra Murphy . Click on her name to go to the tutorial! :)
If you want to be a pro start here!

So here it is:

New Treasury
Anyway, since it's about this time of the day that treasuries are available (or not!), I went to the treasury list, and what do I find? I was in a treasury and it was in the first set of treasuries so there's hope that this one makes it to the front page! YAY!!!
Here it is:

What a lovely treasury, pink, pink, pink.....and a bit of green, and pink, pink, pink.... :)

Inspiration
Well, this time I decided to keep her, very tight, and no matter what or who, I wont let go... I promise :)
As, this is the only thing that gives me nothing but pleasure, the only thing that won't make me cry ;) The only thing I have that is "worth it" :)
I leave you my wallpaper at work :) who can stay in a bad mood with this wallpaper?!! :)
And........I have to go!! Lot's of work, new stuff to list, photos to take, images to fix and organize, measure things to list (that's the part I hate the most...:P), pricing.......PROMOTING ON ETSY!!!! Etsy really is something :)You remember that red flower scarf? Was bought by a very sweet client that loved it! It was sold during the Mother's Day Showcase, a spot that I bought, but I forgot to share with you here...sorry!! My mind has been a bit messy in the past weeks :)

De VoLtA :)
Nem sequer "oportunidade" tive de vir aqui deixar uma mensagem de Feliz Natal nem de Bom Ano Novo. Enfim, as minhas sinceras desculpas por isso, foi uma falha muito pouco simpatica da minha parte, mas o que está feito, feito está :) Assim resta-me dizer que espero que tenham tido um Natal feliz cheio de doces e coisas boas e um fim de ano bem animado.
Mas acho que ainda vou a tempo de desejar um FELIZ 2008!! Que seja um ano bom e vos traga muitos momentos de felicidade :)
Aqui vamos nós outra vez... recomeçar e tirar o pó ao blog, à loja e ao "atelier" :)
Conto convosco para fazer deste ano um ano de sucesso para este "mini-projecto" que eu tanto adoro.
Beijinhos para todas(os)

Livro do mês / Book of the month
Aqui fica a minha sugestão para este mês :) Livro excelente para quem está a começar a fazer bijuteria com arame. Para além de ter projectos simples e giros, explica muito bem todos os passos bem como as ferramentas que devem ter á mão para desenvolver esta arte. Mais imagens aqui!
------------------------------------------------
Here is my sugestion for september :) Great book to start working with wire. Besides having simple and cute projects, it explains every step and tools you need to have to make great wire jewelry. More images here!

Botões / Buttons
------------------------------------------------
Finaly the scissor “atacked” my new fabrics... (the blue one is from a litle fabric piece that my dear friend Auri gave me ;)), it hurted, but it was worth it! See how cute they are! It's a more expensive way to get covered buttons but they are beautifull and perfect! Loved it, i'm a fan!

Viver / Living
Ás vezes viver num apartamento tem destas coisas... quando se quer ter um quintal....acabamos por ter de puxar pela cabeça e arranjar um "quintalinho" :) Este é o nosso "quintalinho", em breve haverá um 4º elemento para tempero ainda a escolher. Aqui vamos ter (ou esperamos vir a ter!!) salsa, coentros e hortelã :D
------------------------------------------------
Sometimes living in an apartment has this issues...when you want garden... you end up thinking how to get a "mini garden" :) This is our "mini garden", soon there will be a 4th to a temper that we didn't decided yet. Here we will have (or hope to have someday!!) parsley, coriander and mint :D

Botões / Buttons
Toda a gente sonha em ter uma máquina de fazer botões, e infelizmente, acabamos sempre chocadas com os preços, o único sítio onde elas existem a preços DECENTES é do outro lado do atlântico... como este "sonho" fica mais uma vez adiado, vou dar uma chance a outro método de forrar botões. Depois mostro o resultado final desta pequenina "aventura" de forrar botões quase "à mão" :)
------------------------------------------------
Everyone wishes to have a button maker machine, and unfortunatly, we always end up surprised with the prices, the only place you can find it at reasonable price is across the atlantic... this dream is once again put aside, I'm going to give a chance to this other "tecnique". After I try I´ll post the results :)
