Corazonadas - Heartfelt
Ando entretenida estos dias, cortando, armando y pegando corazones, de todos los colores y formas. Los descubri hace un año, pero no fue hasta que me regalaron uno que aprendi a hacerlos. Aunque he de confesar que tambien me ayudaron estas paginas y videos.
I have been cutting, weaving and gluing hearts lately.

Froebel Star: my version - Variaciones sobre un tema : estrella Froebel
Esta Navidad pasada me dio por hacer mis propias decoraciones. En mi caso estrellas, una de mis favoritas la Froebel. Y no contenta con la version oficial decidi probar con otros materiales. Claro que del dicho al hecho va mucho trecho y la version con cinta de envolver con alambre en la orilla no solo es imposible de hacer sino que ni siquiera es bonita . En fin haciendo y aprendiendo. Para aprender recomiendo estos tutoriales y videos.
Last Christmas I made many stars to decorate home with. One of my favorite designs is the Froebel star, and after making several I decide to try new materials. I went for wrapping ribbon, the organza type with wired edge, well the idea sounded good but that was the only good thing about it. It was difficult to manipulate and the result did not justified all the effort it took. Better my earlier attempts.

Ganchillo por Paris - Crochet in Paris
Por mucho que una viaje y vea cosas nuevas, la atencion termina centrandose en cosas por las que siento predileccion. Disfrutando el Museo Picasso en Paris las semana pasada, despues de tres visitas frustradas . Y mira por donde me encuentro con esta chaqueta a ganchillo que me encandilo tanto como los lienzos.
I cannot help it even when traveling and seen new places, people and ways of doing things, my attention is drawn like a magnet to crafts. Like this crochet cardigan I came across while visiting the Picasso Museum in Paris last week.

Halloween / Dia de los Muertos
Este año decidi celebrar el dia mezclando las dos variedades de la celebracion.
Recorte unas guirnaldas y hornee unas galletas con calaveras, acompañandolas de unos dedos con masa depretzels.
Para completarlo me disfrace de Catrina, después de ensayar varias veces con unos videos. La cosa llevo su tiempo, pero como lo disfrute.
This year I went overboard celebrating Halloween and mix it
up with “Dia de los Muertos” , which I prefer. I cut a paper garland and baked
some biscuits with the skull / calavera theme, I also baked some fingerpretzels. Finished the whole thing with
a Catrina makeup , which I learnt and practised with some online videos. I t
was hard work, with some late nights, but such fun.

Rebozos
Y no para comer, sino para vestir que vi el domingo en el Fashion and Textile Museun con motivo de la exhibicion "Made in Mexico" . El rebozo es rectangulo de tela de una pieza que se usa normalmente sobre los hombros, tejido a mano que forma parte del atuendo tipico de la mujer mejicana desde hace siglos. Frida Kahlo lo dio a conocer internacionalmete como podemos ver aqui. .Lila Downs lleva un modelo con plumas aqui. Yo lo llamaria echarpe.Con 75 piezas a la vista, y secciones sobre la historia, tecnica, tradicion e influencia en el arte contemporaneo, el tiempo paso rapido. Me llamaron la atencion los flecos de los rebozos, que se hacen por otras artesanas las empuntadoras. Algunos son tan delicados como el mejor encaje. Otras fotos de la exhibicion aqui.
The Rebozo in art, culture and fashion was the theme behind, the "Made in Mexico" exhibition I saw last weekend at the Fashion and Textiles Museum . A weaved rectangular shawl which forms part of the mexican woman national dress which is still popular nowdays. Friday Kahlo wore it often and it appeared on her paintings. Whith sections on its history, styles, craftmanship, and its presence in contemporary art , it was a very complete and enjoyable visit. The fringes caught my attention with their intricate macrame work.
