Christmas from Venezuela

December 22, 2012 · Leave a Comment

There’s a road
that’s made of memories
that goes from heart to heart.

A path that spans the time and many miles we’ve been apart!

There’s a bridge of special feelings
made of all the joys we share.

And Christmas is the journey
of warm thoughts from here to there.

:heart:  A beautiful tree from my brother’s house  :heart:
My sister-in-law sent me this picture and …
…She made the beautiful quilted Christmas Tree-skirt! 
:heart:  

¡¡MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Breakfast with ComeHere

December 18, 2012 · 1 Comment

My dear cat ComeHere left this world on 121112.
It was tragic and extremely sad.
:heart: 

So today, I decided to make myself a very special breakfast, and ate it so very slowly.
ALL in TRIBUTE to HER!

Breakfast with ComeHere

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth.
A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.  ~Jules Verne

No heaven will not ever Heaven be

Unless my cats are there to welcome me.

We are constantly loved, here are some small reminders.

Stretching the Surface…

December 1, 2012 · 2 Comments

I enrolled in a Surface Design / Pattern e-Course called
The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design by Rachel Taylor
it has been absolutely fascinating and I highly recommend it.

My reason for enrolling in this online course based in England,
is that it has been a life long dream to create fabrics and images for products.
With this course I will be learning how it’s done and launching my brand Lisa Rivas to the manufacturing world.

I’ll be posting more soon.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
