Yemaya

This is my version of a mythological figure, the goddess Yemaya, from the Afro-Caribbean pantheon. She is one of my favorite Goddesses.
A couple of years ago, when my life was all crazy, and I felt all funny at the job I was at, one of my coworkers took me to see a Santero- a Puerto [...]

Happy Wednesday!

I have some new art journal stuff but the problem is that there are so many things plugged into our USB hub right now, there is no room to plug in the scanner.
This is the only problematic part of sharing a computer… there are times when you wanna just unplug and replug stuff but you [...]

Blog about my Dad.

Sorta.
Not much in the way of words, but I made this a while back when I was thinking about him and I been thinking about him this past week a lot too.
It’s a calavarita- Mexican-folk inspired, like a Day-0f-The-Dead sugar skull. I lived in Guanajuato, Mexico for 6 months back in 2002, and was lucky [...]

No Cigarettes… 73.5 hours….

So yeah, I haven’t smoked cigarettes in that many hours. Which ain’t too bad for someone who started smoking when she was 11 and has never quit for a whole day since.
Doesn’t change the fact that I want to rip my hair out and stomp around and holler at people. Especially stupid people. They’re on [...]

Art Journal Stuff

Since I’ve been working on this angel thing I haven’t really had the space in my room to whoop out my painting journal and do anything new this week. I have the weekend off, though, and my plan is to make some progress on that darn thing.
The wings are vexing me.
IN the meantime, though, I [...]

Process, process…

So I said I’d post some pics of the artsy process for y’all to look at. I got this new painting I am working on and it’s inspired by my love . Anyhoo, I’ll be adding some collage elements to it and I’m not sure exactly how that will look, but i can [...]

Starting Something…

I started a new painting last night, I think I mentioned it in my post. I am very excited about it. Laid down the background colors last night, and put gold paint in all the colors. Dunno why, I have been spoiled by the effect of just a little touch of shimmer.
I am trying to [...]

The Storm

Fay is really venting right now. So much that here in (normally) sunny Orlando, we have these crazy winds and rain that you just can’t believe unless you’re from around here, which I’m not, so I’m having a hard time. I think Fay’s just upset, maybe it’s a little overwhelming, what with thinking she’d be [...]

Testing, 1, 2…

First post on wordpress. Testing the waters. Waiting for a storm to hit my neck of the woods.
I’m sleepy right now, and have to get up early. Spent most of the evening tinkering on the way this thing looks.
For a while I’ve needed a place to put my writings, but only recently have I developed [...]
