Collages= Check

Today I finished the 3 collages I was working on ;) In the pic you can see my beloved red crocs. YES I love my crocs, I can’t help!

Also today I decide to make some paintings like the ones I made to decorate my cave-bedroom. I always liked to draw, paint, create things with circles. I think “circles collages” are coming to visit my table this weekend.

Tonight: Work in the “colors” project and watch Lost. YEAHHHHH.

In my mind

I have a lot of things in my mind. Sometimes (ALWAYS) I found pretty difficult to concentrate in one project because I’m working/thinking in thousand of projects at the same time.
This week I want to focus my mind and energy in:

1.- Work in my Italy Collages. I always have been INLOVE with Italy. ALWAYS. Right now I have in my table some little collages about one of my goals/dreams. ITALY
2.- Work my Inspirational Journals Project. REALLY important
3.- Work in my OWN art Journal ;)
4.- Plan my perfect/dream studio.

Hopefully, this week I will show you the work in progress.
In the meantime enjoy this wonderful Flickr Inspirations. Fantastic, right??

Me and my little rituals

Me and my little rituals
I’m a simple girl. I’m a HAPPY simple girl and for that reason I enjoy my little rituals. I have my coffe/emails/blogs ritual every morning. PERFECT. But my favorite ritual is the meditation/reiki ritual.

Every morning after the coffee.email.blog time I go to my “disaster room” to dream a little bit about my new wonderful plans. The “disaster room” is the guest room, and at the same time my storage-half studio. Today before I start my ritual I looked around and realize I have way to much things in that room and DEFINETLY I have to clean up that disaster. In my mind (or maybe aloud… normal, I talk with myself) I said: "Oiisscchh, I really have to clean this disaster, I have a lot A LOT of things I don’t use or/and I don’t need at all, I have to clean up my old supplies… Definitely Valentina if you’re really working in your life/goals, the first things you should do is clean your path to get ready for the new one”
After that I start my simple ritual:
- Meditation
- Reiki
- Pick one of my Trust Your Vibes Oracle Cards (Yes, I love these kind of things because help me to keep positive and focus on my intentions)

SO, not surprise with the card I got today:

Guess what this little girl will be doing during the weekend???
