Premio Arte Y Pico Award

I am honored... yesterday I have been given the ARTE Y PICO Award.
This award was given to me by Smadar's Treasure, who is a very talented beader from Israel and a very kind person. Thank you so much, Smadar!


So, I am now passing the award to another 5 blogs:

1. Fleurfatale a Belgian artist from Laarne, graphic designer, 1 sweet son and 3 lovely daughters, she makes great stunning creations, all limited edition, using a mix of materials like felt, fabric, paper, beads, findings, copper and silver... like a creative garden, full of flowers and other colorful wonders!
2. ArtMind another skilled Belgian artist from Hasselt, who produces, among other things, original felted jewelry and unique greeting cards for various occasions.
3. Glasfaden an Indonesian artist living in Germany for many years now... she is a computer programmer who abandoned her old job to devote completely herself to her new passion... glass and hand felted beads and jewellery production.
4. Anna Greaves an english artist who lives in The Netherlands at Amsterdam... take a look at her The House of Mouse... you should admire all the little felt mouse characters that she have created... you will find a large variety of styles, all with their own little personalities... all are individually hand made, unique and looking forward to being adopted into your home.
5. Giusypatch an italian girl from Trieste who loves to play with fabric, create totes, handbags, purses, a lot of sewing things (CD holder cases, cell phone/ipod purses, tissue holder cases, moleskine covers, ...).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Un artista al giorno toglie il medico di torno! #022

Da bambina provavo molto interesse per le cose manuali.
Sono felice di avere mantenuto questa caratteristica anche da adulta.
Fortunatamente però non ho più l'abitudine di mettermi le dita nel naso! :-)
Il tempo vola quando creo delle cose.
Normalmente i giorni sono troppo corti per me.
Amo i colori luminosi ed allegri.
Ma un look naturale mi affascina ugualmente.
Quando realizzo delle ceramiche, normalmente rimangono al naturale.
Rido molto.
Questo normalmente fa ridere molto anche gli altri.
Quindi io sono ancora più felice.
Amo l'odore dei libri.
Mi piace anche leggerli.
Odio le lumache e le tracce viscide che lasciano dietro di loro.

Così desidera raccontarsi ArtMind, artista belga di Hasselt, che realizza, tra le altre cose, originali gioielli in feltro e particolarissimi biglietti per diverse occasioni. Nel suo Etsy shop ArtMind potete trovare anche tantissime altre interessanti creazioni.


An artist a day keeps the doctor away! #022
As a little kid I showed much interest in crafty things.
I'm glad I kept that feature as an adult.
Luckily I got rid of the nose-picking! :-)
Time flies when I'm making things.
Usually days are too short for me.
I love bright and happy colours.
But the natural look can charm me as well.
When I’m making ceramics, then it usually stays natural.
I laugh a lot.
It usually makes people laugh too.
Then I’m happiest.
I love the smell of books.
I like to read them too.
I hate snails and the slimy trail they leave behind.

So usually depicts herself ArtMind, belgian artist from Hasselt, who produces, among other things, original felted jewelry and unique greeting cards for various occasions. In her Etsy shop ArtMind you can find many other interesting creations.
