This is something I have been working on lately. It is mainly the same metal embossing I have been doing but with a different twist. This design is more casual, also more modern and a little edgier. I got one for myself. I really like how it came out. Click on the picture to see more images. I hope you like it too!!!

My Pictures...
I want to talk today about my friend Isabel. Besides being a great woman, intelligent, and talented, she has helped me with the photos for my website. She has taken most of the pictures you’ll see here, my etsy shop, my flickr, and picassa . I am not very photogenic but she can do “magic” and take the most beautiful pictures of you. Here in this picture you can see her at work. This was a session we did last year, it was very fun to do it. My cousin Nydia helped me as well. In one of these pictures you can see Isabel wearing one of my totes :-). You can check Isabel's work visiting her blog: www.isabelmontanofotografia.blogspot.com . I have learned a lot from her and I wish I continue learning. Thank you Isa!

Resolutions
January. The very first days of the month are full of hope and expectancy for the near future. You promise yourself you’ll be better in every aspect of your life. You’ll exercise everyday, eat healthy, read that thick philosophy book you’ve always put away, be organized, meditate at least 15 min. a day, relax and learn to handle stress effectively. Well… my new year’s resolutions have just failed today. One by one… I have been failing to keep them. You have a melt down but then you realize tomorrow is another day. We have to remember that resolutions not only start the firsts days of January, we have to continue making resolutions throughout the whole year. So tomorrow I start again. Being strong, organized, positive, brave, facing the new year (and everything it brings) with renewed strength.

The new year is here and with it new expectations, new goals, new ideas, new designs. I am now thinking about new items for spring. Yes I know it is still cold out there but you cannot stop thinking ahead. For now I am just posting some pictures of the creations I have been selling this season. Don’t forget to visit my shop: http://www.speciesdesigns.etsy.com/ . I hope this passed holiday season was full of peace, harmony and love and that this year brings you everything you desire in you heart. Have a Happy 2009!!!

Welcome to Species Designs Blog!!

Hi! I am just starting this blog and I must confess I am a little excited and anxious at the same time. I am new at this so you’ll have to bear with me OK? First of all a little bit about myself. I love to create new and fresh stuff like jewelry, purses, t-shirts among other things. I am a painter too and I had been showing my art in shows but I cannot stop experimenting with different things. I love to travel, paint, music, read interesting books, I love novels! Lately I have been really into spirituality, meditation and all that kind of stuff. I really need it. Usually I am always in my mind, shredding, analyzing and conceptualizing everything. Yes, you would say I am obsessive, not compulsive, but obsessive. Maybe that obsession is what keeps me creating. My creative process is funny. I am all over the place!!! I don’t really fit the conventional artist stereotype, but when it comes about my creative process, man oh man!!! My studio resembles a little bit what is going on in my mind, chaotic, overstuffed, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, lots of confusion, but also a lot of beautiful results.
However and in spite of that I enjoy doing what I do. I think I will do it till my last day. It is kind of an addiction. A good one. In addition to that I really enjoy a good, rich, hot, energetic, addicting wonderful cup of coffee at any time sitting at a coffee shop or outside my kitchen in my little porch while I recreate my sight and my senses. Yeah! I am a coffee junky. Enough about that, too much information. I hope you enjoy and visit this blog often. Welcome!
