I enjoyed very much hooking without a pattern really! But the moon shone so
I went dancing in the colors! This piece is going to be in the Fall Salon Members
Show at the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County, at the Freeman Hall in
Doylestown, PA, September 10 to October 2, 2022. Hope you can see it!
Many drawings, painted with watercolors mostly. Not wonderful, but I have enjoyed each one!

I like to paint a lot, and love to make things in fiber, so I decided to make my work
in different media, it is very interesting, there you can see it another way!

It was so much fun just to start with the green color and then do some doodling around
to see what was going to happen. Later on I treated it with inks and markers, and voila,
this is it! I think I never made a painting like this, it was really delicious!

Tapestries
Hand dyed wool yarn and hand dyed wool roving on a cotton warp
Mounted on painted canvas
4″ x 4″ x 1.5″
Small tapestries take as much time as a bigger one. Choosing colors
and see what it becomes is a mystery for me. It is wonderful to
play. I added some details in roving. I think that the little square canvas
have a nice size. Hope you like it!

Cotton warp and linen yarn as weft
Painting with acrylics
Gold leaf on the sky
Framed
13″ x 18″
This was an interesting project that was commissioned to me by a good
friend. I loved using different types of medias. I wove the base in a linen
that I had, and made the hearts in different tones in roving, painted with acrylics
the sea and sand and finally applied the gold leaf, which was a bit tricky, but it came
out good I think. It has a nice story behind. It was fun to make it Thank you Beatriz!

I love to make flower in felting, specially now in the summer time!
I love to do watercolors, it fills me up with energy. I put them here to have them altogether.

It is so much fun to needle felt specially because I invent the shapes of the flowers,
none are very accurate I have to say. I play with the colors that comes out from
my bins, the result is quite good. I like it!

I am enjoying making first the painting and then doing it is another media, this time is
