Is emerging your seed?

Cassandra sleeping, 1985

When I sleep I often dream of creations that then come in the next day.
My dreams are often complex and full of colours. My oniric activity is essential for the things I create. I love to dream, yet I do not expect to dream. The dream comes soft and smooth and i don't even know it does. Sometimes I begin to think of something that I want to create and my eyes start to close... Sleep regenerates the cells.

Sleep renews ideas, Sleep keeps warm the seed that tomorrow will begin to grow, Even now the seed is emerging...Also your seed!

Goodnight friends!

tactile self-portrait

Why do I use my image so often? Perhaps do I love too much myself? Perhaps do I am narcissist? This is not a great self-esteem mixed with cult of myself!
I am the only human model that I have at hand!And it is very fun to play with my own image, You too,try and play with your image!

This painting is called Icon.
I have played with the Byzantine painting, rich of gold and metallic contrasts.
I have added a 'tactile' element made with yarn of wool and silk. Also the painting that I used is very tactile: the layers of color are similar to lumps. I did not glue the yarn everywhere because I wanted the yarn to move in the air.
The child above the head is the new, new ideas, the change.The butterflies... I simply adore them, but They are also very common symbols!
For me, a Painting is created for the eyes and hands...and a little for the ears, the yarn rustles in the wind!

Painting,making dolls,creating jewels...smiling!

I had been tagged awhile back by Sandra Mucciardi from Canada http://sandramucciardi.blogspot.com/ to list 5 things I do to keep my mind healthy and my life balanced.
first of all..smile, smile, smile, people don't smile...a smile is a precious gift! smiling...Sandra says 'we need to smile!'

( 'Smile', 1987,This is my old friend Mariella, She was so smiling...)

2) making jewels, creating jewels, drawing jewels, thinking of jewels...rings, necklaces, pendants...It's a little obsession ehehehhe (see my etsy store, left side of this blog)
3) Painting...my old passion, my future passion, This is my passion!
4) creating dolls...dolls are my other passion, my obsession
5) listening to music...sometime I create with Enya...or Bach, or Mozart or contemporary music, I love music!

Painting and fans

This is my last gift to a little little fan...Mattia! He is 2 years old and He is very sweet.
The technique is the same of my self-portraits: a transferred photo on canvas with charms and acrilic paintings
hey Mattia, thank you, you are a perfect model!

November, a little journey in the garden...

This is one of my little gardens, in front of my house

I love to work in my gardens, to think, to walk in my gardens, like a little journey inside myself...and these are flowers and gourds. They say 'welcome' to everyone


Oh I know I know I know, I will have a vision of a piece, a new idea this evening, my Muse is singing...

Urban Elf has emerged with urban pixies...

..from the depth of the night..into the city, here is the Urban Elf with pixies...

...and into the light, the pixies!!

Urban Elf: He is emerging in the city...

...and This is the Elf's house...with graffiti...

Goddess on the creative box

The Goddess takes Energy from THE Source! This is a magic Saturday for me! It's a rainy day, the sky is very dark, a wonderful silence....the sea near my house...only silence and rain...and my imagination goes on...







Puppen Fimo, acrilic paints, Pirkka.

urban angel: a vision? a dream?

I don't know...I do not know if I dreamed this Angel or if I have imagined him, but for my hands, this Angel was a real pleasure... for my hands, my head, my eyes. I have modeled this statue almost in trance for hours and hours: Prosculpt like butter, the washi paper like silk. This is an urban angel that walks on our side. The heart says 'change': do you want to change? I (and my urban angel) say YES.

Prosculpt, washi paper, acrilic paints, musk, feather, silver charm, swarovskij, copper wire. And passion.
