Happy New Year





This was a year of many changes. The year that I built this blog. The year that I explored more seriously my artistic abilities. The year that I embraced imperfection. Did not care with her, stopped being so strict with me and got me to show, to show what I design and what I like to do. A year of great inspiration and so many learning. A fantastic year of personal development. This was the year of Mandala! :)

To all those who lose a bit of your time to come here and see what I do, I wish a great year of 2016. Lots of creativity, lots of color and lots of ART.

crumpled papers



One of the things that I mot love to do is my own papers for my collages, or art journals, or other craft projects. I really love to do this.
You can use lots of things to make singular papers and unique. And I like this, the fact that my papers will be unique!!
Sometimes i use stamps, other times I print them in a plastic sheet (because I don't have a gelli print plate!!), or make simple strokes with acrylics, or some scribbles...!!

In my experiences with printing my own paper I come out with a gorgeous technique that will surprise you and make wonderful and unique papers!!

Today I share with you my crumpled colored paper!! It easy and make papers awesome!! Even I get so surprise when I created this papers.


Uma das coisas que adoro fazer é criar os meus próprios papeis, para colocar nos meus art journals, nnas minhas colagens, ou noutros projetos.
São muitas as técnicas que se podem utilizar para criar papéis únicos, diferentes, que não vai encontrar em mais lado nenhum.
Uso várias coisas, como carimbos, tinta, impressão num marcador de mesa de plástico, etc.

Mas hoje o que vos trago é o resultado de uma experiência com impressão, e que deu em papeis lindos, com textura, muito diferentes.


I smashed some sheets of "esquiço" paper (a paper between a print paper and a vegetable paper), to create wrinkles.

Amassar o papel de forma a criar márias engelhas.



 Then, in a plastic sheet put acrylic paint with a brayer.

Num marcador de mesa de pla´stico colocar a tinta, o papel por cima e passar com o rolo.

 Put the sheet and role the brayer to add paint.


Add another color to have contrast and make more texture!

Passe uma outra cor contrastante. Irá aumentar a textura.


After it dries, open the paper and you will have beautiful wrinkles that don't have paint and will give the paper a gorgeous look!!

Depois de secar abra o papel. Vai ter um aspeto lindo, cheio de engelhas e veios criados pela tinta. Muita textura e contraste.



Use other colors! Be creative! Have fun!!

How i do my backgrounds! An easy DIY for you!

Do you remember this Dream Catcher? I love drawing dream catchers or mandalas! And if sometimes I just doodle them around anything, other times i like to do more serious work for offering to my friends.

Today I want to share with you a little step to step of the process that I use to do the backgrounds where I draw my dream catchers or mandalas.
It's a very funny process and simple. So every one can do it and get really beautiful results.

Lembram-se deste Dream Catcher? Como sabe quem me segue eu adoro desenhar mandalas e dream catchers. E se a maior parte das vezes eu os desenho nos meus art journals, ou rabisco em papeis soltos, muitas vezes faço-os em trabalhos mais "sérios" que gosto de oferecer aos amigos.
Hoje partilho convosco um passo a passo do meu processo, para fazer o fundo para depois desenhar as minhas mandalas ou Dream Catchers.
É mesmo muito simples e divertido. Qualquer pessoa pode divertir-se a fazer.



I select some painted or stamped papers, that i previously make. another time I will talk about this. My process to do my papers. I love papers with colors, texture, and I collect all papers that i found.


Collage papers as you want!!


I love to scribble some intentions on my backgrounds. Beautiful and power words that will give to my work more meaning and good vibes for the friend will receive them.  And you will give to your work some texture!!

Neste processo eu gosto de escrever palavras, ou frases positivas que vão dar mais significado ao meu trabalho e boas vibrações a quem o vai receber, ( Eu acredito que sim)!:) Ao mesmo tempo vai dar alguma textura, pois muitas letras ou palavras vão ficar tapadas, mas ficam algumas a descoberto!!!

Add watercolors or acrylic strokes. Have fun with this. Be free and paint as your arms go!!
Agora divirta-se a pincelar cores. Use o aguarelas ou acrilicos. Divirta-se. Deixe-se ir sem medo!




I also love to add stamps. It gives texture!!

Também gosto de usar carimbos. Dá textura ao trabalho!!



The finishing touch is according to your taste. Again there is no recepies. Follow your intuition. I use some white  and gave some strokes with black !!

Os toque finais são conforme o gosto. Mais uma vez não há receitas. Siga a sua intuição. Esbati o fundo com branco e dei umas pinceladas com preto!! 


I use my backgrounds for drawing my mandalas and Dream Catcher.
