sprain, surprises & crafts


hace unas semanas me llegó un paquetito con tesoros de mi amiga Gina,
estos relojes de mentira son lo más bonito del mundo,
yo tenía unos (no tan bonitos) también de latón con goma elástica brillante
que me tenían robado el corazón.
Gina hace estas bolas sorpresa tan famosas, llenas de cositas vintage.
la mía está esperándome sin abrir, es tan bonita que no encuentro el momento...
en my clutter (blog chulísimo!!) sale una de ellas abierta ,
y aquí en Mieke Willems otra,
la de Lili scratchy y Lison, la de Fine little day...
os enseñaré la mía cuando la abra ;)

few weeks ago I received a packet with treasures from my friend Gina,
these fake watches are the most beautiful in the world,
I had some brass ones (not so nice) also with bright elastic dand that caught my heart.
Gina creates these awesome surprise balls, full of vintage goodies.
mine is waiting for me to ben open, it's so beautiful...
you can check one of these surprise balls in my clutter (very cool blog!), another on Mieke Willems, on Lili scratchy & Lison's blog, on Fine little day...
i'll show you mine when I open it
finally ;)

conocíais los preciosos relojes de papier maché de Julie Arkell?
me encantan sus relojes y me encanta ella!!
relojes via a blonde and brunette y post sobre ella en lovely textiles.
and did you know about Julie Arkell's lovely paper-mache fake watches?
i adore them and i adore her!! she looks so sweet.
via a blonde and brunette and about her via lovely textiles.







todavía no os he contado que este es el cuarto día que llevo sin salir de casa,
el jueves me torcí el tobillo y me hice un esguince, así que me toca reposo.
es una lata, y no paro de hacer cosas,
como tengo que estar sentada o tumbada en el sofa...
he estado crocheteando unas florecitas y unas pajaritas,
así me alegran la vista :) y quedarán chulas en el pelo.
por suerte tenía unos ovillos algodón ( los natura de dmc) que son tan gustosos.
ahora no podría ponerme a crochetear con lana, ya hace calor.
igual me pongo a crochetear una funda para la cámara,
algo parecido a ésta.
por suerte, tengo una mecedora mini que cabe perfecta en mi balcón mini,
rodeada de plantas me siento como una reina, suerte que tengo balcón!
así me da el aire :)

Anna ha posteado en raised by the wolves una de mis muñecas
que compró hace mucho, doli kitty, parece que se llevan bien :)
·
hay una tienda nueva en etsy The cup of tea,
de animalitos pompón tan bonitos...

bueno, eso es todo de momento,
espero que estéis disfrutando de una bonita semana ♥

i still haven't told you that this is my fourth day without leaving home,
i sprained my ankle last thursday.
so annoying... i can't stop making things and crafting
as I have to be sitting or lying on the sofa.
i've crocheted some tiny flowers and big bows,
to cheer me up :), they can look pretty on the hair.
fortunatly i had some balls of cotton ( dmc nature)
so sweet and cool for summer time...
i couldn't be able to crochet yarn at this moment.
maybe i'll make a cover for my camera like this, let's see!

about this beautiful rocker, i feel very lucky having it, it's so small
that fits perfectly on my tiny balcony.
sitting there, surrounded by plants and crafting like an indie queen.
·
Anna blogged on her great blog, raised by the wolves about doli kitty
they live happily together from long ago :)
·
there is new etsy shop The cup of tea, lovely pom pom little animals

well, that's all for now :)
i hope you are enjoying a beautiful week

Tic, tac... it's shop update time!










hola!
acabo de subir cositas nuevas a la tienda :)
cositas primaverales, jeje
1. el reloj con correa de vichy (modelo vivchyfever!!! ;)
2. reloj grandote unisex con correa de piel negra reciclada
3. la versión en colgante del reloj de mentira con cordón negro
4. y también con cordón en ante-piel de mentira rosa
5. además he subido las correas sueltas por si ya tenéis un reloj
y queréis combinar nuevas correas :)
espero que os gusten!!
··
estos relojes de mentira, que empezaron (y siguen) siendo una broma,
están convirtiéndose en algo muy bonito,
gracias a la gente que los compra y el significado que ven en ellos.

en este mini post en Divine Caroline,
Jacinta O'Halloran menciona mis relojes de mentira a raíz de una anécdota
y habla de cosas preciosas.
en Ministry of Done también recomiendan llevárselos un fin de semana
en el que el tiempo no es importante.
salen también mencionados en el blog to change horses,
en el post "así que no cunda el pánico... el tiempo tan sólo existe en tu muñeca"
(o algo así)

hello there!
just listed some new and fresh items to the shop :)

1. fake watch with red gingham wachtband (gingham fever!!)
2. big unisex fake watch with recycled black leather band
3. a necklace version of my fake watch with black waxed cotton cord
4. and also with pink ultra suede cord
5. i've listed some watchbands separately,
the leather bands and gingham trim,
for those nice customers that bought one fake watch and want to combine it with different watchbands. this listing is just for you girls ;)
hope you like them!!
··
fake watches that started (and still are) as a joke,
are becoming greater and meaninful mainly because of the people.

i found this post on Divine Caroline
where Jacinta O'Halloran mentions my fake watches and tells one anecdote
to explain some beautiful things about time and life.
Ministry of Done also recomend to wear them
while having a long weekend when time isn't important.
they are mentioned on to change horses blog too, so happy!
THANK YOU

Lets play!

El elefante más pequeño del mundo 1959, ilustrado por Milton Graser

The smallest elephant in the world 1959, illustrated by Milton Graser,
so silly! I didn't know about this incredibly talented graphic artist
who designed the I Love New York logo!
and these great fonts... here is another beautiful book









número 6 de la revista Apartamento:
entrevista a Tomi Ungerer (mi héroe), posteé sobre él 1, 2 hace un tiempo
y unos pasatiempos hechos por Miranda July
estoy fascinada por esta artista,
su película "Tú, yo y todos los demás" me encantó
y estoy leyendo su libro Nadie es más de aquí que tú (web del libro)
que me cuesta un poco de digerir,
estrena pronto una nueva peli The future

Apartamento Magazine issue number 6:
Tomi Ungerer interviewed (my hero), i posted about his work before 1, 2
and some children games by Miranda July,
i love this artist so much, loved her film Me and You and Everyone We Know,
i'm just reading her book No one belongs here more than you (web),
hard to read for me...
can't wait to watch her new film The future

New Workshop: Embroidered Typography (Monográfico de Tipografía bordada)

hola!
estoy empezando a prepararar el nuevo taller de bordado para Duduá:
Monográfico de Tipografía bordada
el viernes 10 de junio de 17h-20h en la galería-cafetería Cosmo
será un taller especial, enfocado a ilustradores y diseñadores que quieran empezar a experimentar con la tipografía bordada.
no se necesitarán nociones de bordado ni de costura,
entraremos en contacto con los diferentes materiales y herramientas, tipos de soportes y técnicas (los mejores puntos de bordado para cada tipo de fuentes),
para que se consigan los mejores resultados.
cada persona podrá traer un boceto o una idea previa que se desarrollará a lo largo del taller.
todo el material estará patrocinado por DMC
si estáis interesados enviad un email a Alícia, más info en el blog de Duduá.

aquí os dejo algunas cosas bonitas y links de increíbles tipografías bordadas
que he ido encontrando por internet,
espero que os gusten!

hi!
i'm preparing a new workshop for Duduá,
about Embroidered Tipography.
i'm very excited because it's a special workshop for illustrators and designers
who want to start working with textils and embroidery on their professional projects.
(and sponsored by DMC)
so it will be really nice.

here are some beautiful and awesome works that i've found,
hope you enjoy them!
