My first fimo pendant

Hi there! I continue playing with polymer clay and I finally made my first  pendant.  The tutorial was created by  Shatya and published on DevianArt. It was easy to follow because of the detailed pictures. Here is the result:

If you noticed, yes it is again a sheep. I found it very cute. I only need to add the glaze, wait about 24 hours and it will be ready to use.

What was your first polymer clay project?

Tiny Sheep

I want to share with you my first creation with Fimo: a little, tiny sheep. Ok, it is not perfect, but one day, I will be doing nice and cute things. My next project would be earrings or a pendant.

 

Whish you a nice week!

Wildlife

We went last Sunday to a wildlife park. There were many animals and it was just nice walk.  I want to share with you a couple of pictures we took that day.
 
Isn’t this sheep cute?

and here the photo with red and yellow leaves

Wish you a nice thursday

Octopus

This is just a little experiment. The image was scanned and then painted with Gimp and Artrage. It is not a complicated painting, but I am just starting to draw.

I love today

Hi there,
today I want to share some things I like in last days:

1. Bing is the search engine from Microsoft. I like it mostly because of the background image. It is changed daily and they show remarkable places in the world. The image below was the background on July 23th.09



2. Crochet. I am just starting to do little things. Check the etsy store from CreativeYarn. She has such lovely accessories. Here is one of my favorites, looks so warm and cozy. She also has a blog with lovely free patterns. I am already working on a project and perhaps I will share with you in a couple days when is ready.


3. Soul: is a car that looks like a compact SUV and has such a nice design and many extras that you can buy.

Normal day

Hi there,
It was just a normal day and after a hard day working, went home to do my household chores. The good news is we have washing machine in the basement and dishwasher. The picture is just a doodle of the day, refering to my chores. Doodle was done using Inkscape.

Fall is in the air

We had yesterday or probably last barbecue of the summer, temperatures are not above 18 degrees at day.There is just a feeling like everything and everyone is preparing to welcome fall. Yesterday, people on the streets were wearing warm clothes and scarfs, the leaves are turning gold yellow and the need to drink tea to warm up in the evenings is there.
Inspirated by the colors, I just decided to create my first painting using Artrage software. Ok, ok, it is not the most beautiful work of art, but it is just for fun. I just mixed some colors.

It was just yesterday

I arrived in germany. No, it was exactly five years ago. I came with many wishes, dreams, ideas, projects. When I look back, many of them have been accomplised. I like living in germany, but just sometimes, in the middle of the day, I remember how a mango verde, or semita tastes. I remember our family parties and when is cold outthere, I remember the sunny days in La Libertad. Today, I can say: both countries are my "Heimat".

Rhine Valley

Last week we took some days off and drove to the Rhine valley. Such a romantic place with cute villages, castles and fields of wine. We spend there just few days, but we enjoy them so much.
The photo was taken in Bacharach, a village behind a town wall. In front, the Burg Stahleck and in the back, the Rhein.

Robots

Well, I wanted to add some details to my desk. Since, I still don't have a lego mindstorm, I found this paper model. This nice robot will make me company in my work hours. Ok, ok, I think I need a better glue for these jobs.




Here you can find more models created by Mr. Marshall Alexander, a paper engineer.

Bracelet

I felt like doing a little project with yarn, I made a bracelet. Something that I learnt few years ago, when I was a child in my sommer lessons: handcrafting, baking, sewing.



Aren't yarn colors so nice and girly? I bought it in a little shop on Eppendorfer Weg.

Cupcakes in hamburg

My sister is coming to hamburg next week for the wedding. She already has a to-do list like: try cupcakes, macarons, try curry wurst, shopping, shopping, shopping.
So, the oder day I went to this cute little shop to try the cupcakes, and I can just say they are delicious. There are so many variations: you can have chocolate brownie fudge, corn bread, smarties, sugar boms, etc. They are definetely good for the soul.

Two weeks

Only two weeks for the big day. There are so many details still to be done. However, I had fun looking for favors and collecting ideas on the internet for save the date cards and invitations. I have to admit, I've become a huge fan of handmade stuff, and I visit the site almost daily. Are you also a handmade fan?

El Oso de Berlin

Visitando Berlin

Despues de un semestre de estudios, decidimos visitar Berlin. Una ciudad llena de historia .. Hicimos la tipica ruta turistica, el Reichstag (Parlamento Aleman) con su cupula de cristal que ofrece una vista estupenda de la ciudad; Alexanderplatz y la torre de television de 365 metros de alto, Berliner Dom y Postdamer Platz.
Pero las cosas mas interesantes fueron el Reichstag, en donde pudimos apreciar una sesion del parlmento aleman, la puerta de Brandenburgo, hoy simbolo de reunificacion del pais y el famoso Checkpoint Charlie , uno de los puntos de accesos para los extranjeros en Berlin del este y de escape clandestino para algunos. Cerca de este lugar se encuentra un museo dedicado al muro y a las personas que intentaron atravesarlo ..



Checkpoint Charlie

Dos semanas

Finalmente he tomado valor y estoy escribiendo en mi blog. "Valor" porque nunca he sido muy buena escribiendo, sin embargo me fascina la idea de mantener esta bitacora al dia. Asi que desde ya pido perdon por mi redaccion y por uno u otro error ortográfico.

Pues si, en dos semanas me encontrare en Alemania, comenzando una linda experiencia . Voy para estudiar una maestria. No niego que algunas veces me da pereza volver a la universidad, pero me da animo el estudiar en otro pais, el aprender un nuevo idioma y sobre todo el convivir con personas de diferentes culturas.

Aparte de mis estudios, tengo una especial razón para ir a al otro lado del charco: Mr. T. Como comprender mi relación con Mr. T? claro, con un fragmento de "El Principito".

-¿Qué significa «domesticar»?
-No eres de aquí -dijo el zorro-. ¿Qué buscas?
-Busco a los hombres -dijo el principito-. ¿Qué significa «domesticar»?
-Los hombres -dijo el zorro- tienen fusiles y cazan. Es muy molesto. También crían gallinas. Es su único interés. ¿Buscas gallinas?
No -dijo el principito-. Busco amigos. ¿Qué significa «domesticar»?
-Es una cosa demasiado olvidada -dijo el zorro-. Significa «crear lazos».
-¿Crear lazos?
-Sí -dijo el zorro-. Para mí no eres todavía más que un muchachito semejante a cien mil muchachitos. Y no te necesito. Y tú tampoco me necesitas. No soy para ti más que un zorro semejante a cien mil zorros. Pero, si me domesticas, tendremos necesidad el uno del otro. Serás para mí único en el mundo. Seré para ti único en el mundo...
-Empiezo a comprender -dijo el principito-. Hay una flor... Creo que me ha domesticado...

Ahora si será más fácil darme a entender, Mr. T es esa persona única en el mundo que me ha domesticado.

Mi primer BLOG

Este es el primer BLOG que escribo y mediante el cual espero contar a mi querida gente en El Salvador una que otra historia de esta aventura que inicio en septiembre.
