Work in Progress – Wrapping Paper illustration
These days I’m working on developing a new product – Wrapping paper!
I’m using a handmade stamp to create the patterns for the paper; professional quality printing ink and recycled paper.
I find something very interesting in the process of repetition. I actually love it! it puts me in some sort of meditative state of mind that I really enjoy.
It did take quite a bit of time, and I’m still working on making it more sustainable…. but it’s a good start 
Show and tell!
Any suggestions, feedback, ideas, questions?

Walk to Work
Fall is my favorite time of the year. This year is my third time experiencing Fall, because you can say in Venezuela is summer all the time, with some rain, but we don’t get to see the cycle and recycle of nature, even though it’s happening, it’s less obvious.
I really enjoy walking to work, it enhances my senses and even though there’s still a lot of pavement and bricks, there’s so much to see and explore!
I took this pictures yesterday, it was very foggy and every tree and corner was covered with spiderwebs… you can feel Halloween is coming.
The raccoon made my day, and I must say that was my favorite part of my walk. I wish he would have stayed still so I could have taken a better picture of him, oh well…
Yes, Autumn is here…and I’m very happy about that
Mandalas and Intuitive Art
Mandala is a Sanskrit for magic circle.
This past couple of weeks I started making Mandalas as a way of meditation. I’m working on the first stage of the Mandalas which is Resting in the Darkness. According the the Mandala Workbook (Fincher, 2009), the natural rhythm of this stage is slow, and if you can come to appreciate this and accept the gifts of deep rest, then this experience can be welcomed… …The stage of resting in the darkness is a natural part of life…”
I felt this summer that I was in that stage, and the meditations I’m working on with the mandalas are helping me move to the next stage, but mostly, to accept the one I am in the present. I’m learning to understand life as part of a circle, as a cycle.
So I made a couple of mandalas, and when I finished, I realized that they represent a situation I’m going through right now, and is understanding the cycles of living with a partner, in this case, Dani. I’m a sign of water, and he is a sign of earth; no coincidence the mandalas I made are blue and brown
