Doodled sketches and Hello! after a long time out!!!

Hi everyone!! I could not believe when I saw the  last posting date!!! May 5 !!! Indeed time flies. The last few months have been complicated, actually.I try to divide myself between the work, the work that I still bring home from work !!!, the affairs of the house, being with family, playing with Francisco, my art ... well what all women do!!!! But sometimes is too much for one day :( !!! 

We also decided to create a small garden last fall, and now it has taken me a great deal of time !!!

Well all this is  somehow to apologize you , who went here and saw nothing new!!! :) Thank you for the support.

In these last two months, I had little time to deepen my art projects. Has lagged behind my UnPlanner, the projects I wanted to do with my art, the blog, Instagram, facebook. I have miss a lot my Unplanner and especially the connection with the community and the support of that wonderful friends I have made in this virtual world.

I did not stop at all, because I can no longer live without drawing, freckle, or doodling, so even if it was with a ballpoint pen, whenever I'm in a meeting, or waiting for something, I end up catching me to draw, especially draw mandalas or flowers !!! 

Very sporadically I updated my UnPlanner, I drew on my artjournal and prepared an swapp with a DLP friend.

I hope in the coming days to update some of what has happened around here !!!

Today, to resume my blogging routine (hopefully !!!! :)), I leave you some doodles that have accumulated in my notebook, in these two months, when I couldn't sit surrounded of my materials and play no longer then 5-10 min! ! 

Olá a todos!! Nem queria acreditar  quando vi a data da última postagem!!! 5 de Maio!!! Realmente o tempo passa. Os últimos meses têm sido complicados, na verdade. Tentar repartir-me entre o trabalho, o trabalho que ainda trago para casa do trabalho!!!, os afazeres da casa, estar com a família, brincar com o Francisco... bem aquilo que todas as mulheres fazem!!!!  E ainda por cima, decidimos criar uma pequena horta, no último outono, e agora tem-me tomado um bocado grande de tempo!!!

Bem isto tudo, não é para me lamentar, pois são coisas que faço com prazer, e quando não é com tanto prazer têm de ser feitas :), mas, para de alguma forma pedir desculpa, a quem aqui passou e não viu nada de novo!!! Muito obrigada pela dedicação :).

Nestes últimos dois meses, pouco tempo tive para aprofundar os meus projetos de arte. Tem ficado para trás o meu UnPlanner, os projetos que queria fazer, o blog, o instagram, o facebook.  Tenho muitas muitas saudades daqueles pequenos apontamentos de arte, e principalmente da interação com a comunidade e do suporte que queridas amigas que tenho feito neste mundo virtual me dão.

Não parei na totalidade, até porque já não consigo viver sem desenhar, pintalgar, ou rabiscar, e por isso nem que seja com uma esferográfica, sempre que estou numa reunião, ou à espera de algo, acabo por me apanhar a desenhar, principalmente a desenhar mandalas ou flores!!! 

Muito esporadicamente  atualizei o meu UnPlanner, desenhei no meu artjournal e preparei um troca com uma amiga do DLP.

Espero nos próximos dias atualizar um pouco do que se tem passado por aqui!!!

Hoje, para retomar a minha rotina blogueira ( espero!!!! :) ), deixo-vos alguns dos doodles que se acumularam no meu caderno, nestes dois meses em que pouco pude sentar-me rodeada dos meus materiais e brincar com tempo!! Apenas o que havia no estojo da escola!

Inside my sketchbook

As I told you yesterday this last days I was out, enjoying family time. So I was almost off with instagram, blog and facebook. I was far from my studio and my art materials. I only carry with me my sketchbooks and some simple material for drawing and some watercolors. This were my sketches during theses days!

Como eu vos disse ontem, nestas férias de Páscoa aproveitamos para passear um pouco em família e passar tempo juntos. Daí que estive quase ausente de facebook, instagram e blog!!! Claro que a maioria dos meus materiais ficaram em casa. Levei comigo apenas os meus dois livros de registos, umas canetas para desenhar e umas aguarelas. Estes foram os meus registos durante estes dias! :)
Sempre a praticar, sempre a aprender!!! Perspetiva e corpo humano... Um grande desafio!!!!

The Documented Life Project - The UnPlanner: #Week4

Time flyes!!! Here we are in week 4 of  "The Documented Life Project" and in the end of January!!!! These are my pages for this week!! 

This week I was experimenting new things! colors, techniques and continuing training my sketching skills!! 

I was totally inspired on Alisa Burke announce of her next lesson "paint with your fingers", and this week I tried that!! Painted some backgrounds and then doodled . 
I gathered all that papers, and most favorite photos and played with my UnPlanner!!! :) This is pure fun!!!

My PAC was made with the leftover parts from the other pages! I continuing to explore my skills and experimenting with the materials!!! Liked so much the result!

With my doodled flowers on a finger painted background I made a pocket for a favorite photo! A weird selfie of me and my hubby! !It's weird but I like her!!
Stitched my finger painted mandala!

This week I was still training my sketching skills! So my recipe for this week was to make a sketch from one of my lunches these days!!!

In this page I use a plastic paper protector that I cut and stitch! (another experience and something new to try!! :) )

In the last page I had a beautiful draw that my boy made with oil paint!! I absolutely love this and I had to record that moment!!!

ART Card - my process!

Today I want to share with you a little bit of my process on the making of a little Art Card from my Planner. This little art cards are, as the name suggests, little bits of art that you can add as embellishments to your art journals, planners or offer as a gift tag for instance. 

As they are little pieces you can make them in few minutes. They are great for you to make art every day even if you don't have much time for that.

 I started with a page where I add some scrap paint from cleaning the brushes from other projects!!

Add some strips of magazines and newspaper.

 Add some stokes of white and doodled a flower! I stamped some flowers in the corner and added some collages with leftover papers! (I collect almost  every bits of paper that left from other projects! They fit great in this little pieces of art don't you think? :))The important is to create texture and beautiful fused layers!!!

You can write some words, or quotes that inspires you.
For the final touches I add some stitches which i love and a little strip of ribbon.

Hope you feel inspired to create. Is a little art card. You can make it in 10 min!! This is an artful therapy!!

Have fun!! Be inspired!!

The Docummented Life Project 2016 - The UnPlanner #Week3

We come to the third week of The Documented Life 2016The UnPlanner 

I wanted this week record some of what inspires me and suggest to all of you to be  inspired. Needless to great things, simple pleasures, small moments, a beautiful nature walk, the ones that we love. After read the prompt and this week work of Rae Missigman I knew that I had to record that on my UnPlanner this week. And that bring me for my word - be inspired (and I'm so grateful for that I have near me what really inspires me) 

This week, my process was, caught on a sheet of paper where I had already some scrap paint and then create my "PAC" and my "List ten". I added strips of magazines and newspapers and joined some of the things that inspires me.

I'm really amazed with this project. I'm surprising myself with creativity. It's been for me like a lab where i can play with all my supplies. 

I read on the facebook group that some girls are feeling lost. Please try again. Dont give up!

My process is: I first read the prompts and the ideas of the creators. I know that i have to create a list, a PAC and document my week. that's all. After that i really do what I want. In my point of view, we have to be ourselves. Take our print in our unplanner. So make just art, document your days, and that's it!!! Have fun!

My Unplanner is getting gorgeous (for me of course). I'm making things that I would not do if i wasn't doing this kind of Planner. So thank you so much for the weekly prompts and the big support on the beautiful facebook group!! :)

Chegamos à semana 3 do projeto - The Documented Life Project 2016- The UnPlanner!. Esta semana queria registar um pouco do que me inspira e sugerir a todos que se sintam inspirados. Não é preciso grandes coisas, o que nos rodeia, simples prazeres, pequenos momentos, um belo passeio pela natureza. 

O meu processo esta semana foi pegar numa folha onde já tinha alguma tinta e a partir daí criar o meu "PAC" e a minha "List ten". Adicionei tiras de revistas e jornais e juntei algumas das coisas que me inspiram.

The Docummented Life Project -The Unplanner is a year long almost free class (what you pay don't pay what you receive from that wonderful people!!) where you are invited to play with your art materials and document your weeks. We receive weekly prompts and challenges with videos and peeks.

Workshop com Eduardo Salavisa

Já vos disse aqui que tenho andado a treinar as minhas capacidades de desenho ao vivo, o urbansketch. Poder desenhar aquilo que se vê quando se está a dar um passeio, documentar o dia a dia não só com fotografias é bastante interessante. 

Neste domingo que passou o muito conhecido UrbanSketcher Eduardo Salavisa deu um workshop aqui em Coimbra na Feira do Património. Eu fui e para lá do prazer que tive em conhecê-lo, tive mais uma oportunidade para treinar e aprender as dicas de quem muito bem faz estes rabiscos. Tive a oportunidade de ver e folhear os seus livros de registos e são lindos!!! Faz parecer isto tão simples e fácil!!! Puro engano!!! :)

A Feira decorreu no Mosteiro de Santa Clara a Velha. Portanto estivemos a desenhar num sítio lindo. O Mosteiro.

Claro que, o que saiu no meu livro de registos foram pequenos rabiscos muito mal desenhados, mas que a mim me deixaram muito feliz porque superei mais uns obstáculos:

• atrevi-me a desenhar pormenores que nunca pensei conseguir;
• desenhei pessoas nos espaços (nunca me atrevi!!!) Não ficou lá grande coisa mas também gostei do desafio!!
• continuo a explorar as minhas capacidades.

O mais importante de tudo é que isto me dá um prazer enorme!!! :) Divirto-me!!!

Sei que tenho muito muito que aprender, mas isso ainda me dá mais vontade!!
