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.

I melted today…

November 29, 2012 · 2 Comments

Today I spotted a wonderful Etsy Treasury titled:
‘I melt‘
… a stunning collection of expanses of “winter white” with little “red touches”

What a gem!
I was totally mesmerized by this treasury by curator Lisa with 4!
… and this was a Trendsetting Treasury Team Challenge #21

 

I melt by Lisawith4

… and then I melted!

I felt so honored to be there with my Melting Hearts e-Stamp

:heart:

“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity.
We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake…”
~ Sr. Francis Bacon (English Lawyer and Philosopher. 1561-1626)

The Beaded Tree…

November 16, 2012 · 6 Comments

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you,

… and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, 
till you yourself burst into bloom.
– Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Beaded Tree by Lisa Rivas

Climb a tree – it gets you closer to heaven.  ~Author Unknown

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!
