I think all of us, in our own way are "Artists". It doesn't require formal training or a fancy degree to be an artist. It is about taking your God given talent, passion, and uniqueness; and creating "LIFE". For me, it is about making the time to see God in people eyes. It is about looking within to what moves me to exist. So next time you cook a meal or smile at someone in town; you are creating "goodness". Do all things with a Christ heart. Call upon the Lord to bless your gifts. Try new things or pull out those dreams you have tucked far away. You are the masterpiece of the Creator.
.One of the things I will do this weekend is to design unique aprons for market days at "Dias Festivos" (Festive Days). For 24 years, the Junior League of McAllen has traditionally opened the holiday season with its Dias Festivos Marketplace in order to raise funds for the children of the community.
.I will be working with this beautiful fabric. The inspiration for my designs is the artistic work of Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) a famous Mexican painter. Frida painted using vibrant colors in a style that was influenced by indigenous cultures of Mexico and European. I don't dare to put myself in the artist category as Frida, but I do honor her artistic spirit.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Yoli :)

I love the fabric! My friend's husband (as well as several of my clients) is from Guanojuato, birthplace of Diego Rivera. I love the vibrant colors - although I have a hard time coordinating them! Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is wonderful, and I can't wait to see what you will make with it. Thanks for telling us about your inspirations.
ReplyDeletePS Your new blog does something funny, and keeps jumping me down right to the bottom of the blog, and I have to scroll back up to find your latest post or the comment box or whatever. Do you know if anyone else is having this problem or is it just me?)
