This weekwork is Reinvent… I was planning to reinvent Mondays, but I decide it’s better if I reinvent myself and my point of view, right?
And I also reinvent one drawing I already made to create this one!
Go and check out more interpretations of this weekeword!
So far, I think this week these lovely girls are going to play around, if you’re playing, let me know and I’ll add your name and link.

Happy reinventing weekend! J
I made these 3 prints using a little Dandelion drawing I made last night.
My wish right now: Figurate out really fast what to do for the weekwork Reinvent!
… And I have been pretty productive
The Frog is ready,
I have a new print at my Shop
Not bad, right ;)
Monday… I have a confession here, I’m not a big fan of Mondays. I know a lot of people feel is a great day for the expectation of a new week… but still I’m not a fan of this day. I really don’t understand why I feel Mondays like a hard day. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’m grumpy girl, but I feel I need a little extra kick to enjoy the day, like a extra spoon of Nutella ;)
After my chocolate fix, I think I’m ready to share some Monday things!
1.- Super talent Anairam, pick me to choose the new weekword!
Hmmmm… I have been thinking the whole weekend about which can be the perfect week word… and nothing clever came to my mind. BUT, while I was dealing with my “I don’t like Mondays” feeling I realize I have to see this day in a different way… I have to see this day like a new thing.. maybe I’ll change the name of the day… maybe I just have to REINVENT Mondays…
And I decide the weekword is REINVENT! Yeap… maybe I had sugar high when I decide that!
2.- Download you freebie of the week!! (See the right column)
3.- Reading between lines… New print in my shop
4.- Remember I’ll have the buy 2 get 1 free offer at my shop until this Friday J
Enjoy the day!
This week word was chosen by Anairam.TIME…
This is what came to my mind last night when I was think about this word…
I don’t know if this made sense, but that was me last night J
For other interpretations of time, see: Linda Sue, Anne, l'atelier, e, Sarah , Thereza, Trinsch, Lisa, Fruenswerk & Nathalie & asphaltair and lea
Happy Friday!!!
I always have like 1000 of ideas in my mind and I can’t just keep myself working in one project at the time. Of course, if I have a deadline or I’m working in a series of artwork, I try my best to stick to that project until is 100% ready... and that is HARD to me ;)
A simple example of what is going on my worktable this week:
1.- Taking care of some graphic design work (a logo and some magazine ads)
2.- Finishing this piece. Remember the one I was trying to show the process?
3.- Working in 2 new drawings
4.- Trying to work in my ABC… I always want to do something to decorate kids room, and I’m trying to complete the ABC to do prints with names. Let see..
5.- Painting a frog. This is a commission piece because people love the frog! J
How you work? You try to stick on one project at the time?
See you soon!
WoW! I have been a really slow blogger. I think is a summer thing ;) Everything is kind of slow and people is enjoying outside. Lately, I haven’t been a much outside because is HOT and Humid.. but I guess is normal in this part of the world.
I have a few things I want to share with you.
1.- I’m having a Special Offer for the rest of July!!

2.- I decide to open a little shop to sell kits to make journals and more J
I always wanted to create a workshop or something like that to create Art Journals. Indeed, I still want to do that… I just have to figurate out better how to do it. In the meantime, I’ll make kits like this one. You can check my new Shop “Feeling Inspired”… of course!
3.- Sometimes I don’t write anything here, because I don’t have a lot of things to chare and I don’t like that!. I’m always trying to figurate out what to do to share with my readers…. Because is found and your comments makes me happy!. So… I decide to create a new corner call “Freebie of the week”. Every week I’ll do something to share with you. This week you can download in the Freebie’s Corner 3 envelopes template (see the link in the right bar)
4.- You remember the Japanese Fish I made before? I *LOVE* that fish, and looks like a lot of people like him too. I sold that one in a gallery show I had in June. To replace the one I sold, I made this one last week. I’ll hang him at the gallery tomorrow. *LOVE* it.
5.- And now I need a favor here! I’m looking to hire a writer for a little write up I need to prepare about my artwork. You know somebody who I can contact? J Please, send me and email to info [at] valentinadesign.com
And that is all for today…

After the Holiday weekend and a good shake of my emotions, I have been taking a few days to regroup. I have been working really hard the last 6 months, and something really nice and excited happened and I lost my focus!. But I guess is normal ;) The last 3 days I have been taking my time to ground again and refocus in MY BIG PICTURE.
In order to regroup, I usually have to remind myself which is what I really want and try to let my emotions overcome my logic.
These 2 little quotes helps me to follow the path again.
Hope you are having a great week! J
Hope you have a safe and wondeful weekend.
See you on Monday!
