Children book work in progress
This project is lasting forever!
I should have finish it before the end of the year, but it seems impossible. This winter I’m traveling a lot, I was in Barcelona, then back to Sicily and all December I will be away as well, Hong Kong and Sicily again for Christmas holidays…
But the true is that I’m the queen of procrastination! You know what I mean, isn’t it? Especially now that the Berlin winter arrived, I feel like I need to go in hibernation.
While I was in Sicily I had the feeling I got used to the Berlin cold so, with 20 degrees there, it was still summer for me. Of course! But believe me, for a Sicilian 20 degrees are not summer at all. Winter is coming! It is getting cold! You’d better wear warmer clothes…Everybody told me this kind of stuff. Come on, seriously?! There are 20 degrees!!!
Am I becoming the girl from the “north continent”?…..naaaaaaa!
By the way, I don’t want to talk too much about this children book project I’m working at, not before it has completed, but here there is one of the paintings I did for it and that I rejected…are you trying to image the story?
Rainy summer and Illustrations on vintage ceramics
Hello hello! Happy Saturday and summer weekend to everybody!
The most of you is already in holiday, spending the time in the sun, on a beautiful beach, snorkeling in the sea…aaaaaaahhh!!! I would like to go to the sea too! But this summer I’m staying in Berlin because I have a bunch of work to do.
As some of you maybe already know, I am from Sicily and the month of August for me has meant just sea, beach, summer festival, camping under shooting stars…I am missing all this so much! And also I have to say that this year the summer in Berlin is not really nice, most of the time the sky is cloudy and the temperature makes me think about the end of October in Sicily more than middle of August…
But maybe is better like this, I mean, I have to work anyway so maybe it’s better that the cloudy sky and the fresh air delete every chance to go even to the nearest lake…so sad……….
So let’s try to do a happy twist in the cloudy Berlin’s summer, for example adding to the our lunch table this vintage GDR dish that I hand-painted with the illustration of colorful little girl in the summer rain with her yellow umbrella!
You can find it on my Etsy shop, together with my prints and some of other hand-painted ceramics items.
Vintage ceramic love
Here we are!
Looking for new ideas and inspiration it happened to find here in Berlin some beautiful ceramics made in GDR, then I thought: why not try to use them as base for my illustrations?
So now that’s my new obsession: painting on vintage pottery.
That’s one dish I made yesterday 🙂
Garden in Køge – Grow!
The work for our little garden in the square of KØS Museum continues.
I built with Yuki a little terrace and some plant pots using reclaimed wood, found in the street of the city. We were lucky to have a construction site very close to the museum, so that we could use lot of their waste materials; I was so surprise to see in the garbage container so much good wood thrown away.
We will stay here still 3 weeks, I hope to see some of our vegetable and flowers growing well before going away. We watch the earth every day and we are so happy when we see small leafs coming out.
I tell them “Grow!”, feeling like they can listen to me…
Sister
Hello hello!
I’m writing from Brussels, I came here to visit one of my little sisters for the weekend.
I was supposed to fly yesterday back to Berlin but because of the strike of the air controller my fly was deleted so, if everything goes fine, I should fly tomorrow evening back.
Because of my vision of “everything-happen-for-a-reason”, I believe that this happened because I have to spend a bit more time wit m sister, and I’m happy for that, of course.
So while I’m here I did a portrait of her, hoping that watching it everyday will bring her colors and smiles.
I want to sleep forever…
I love to sleep, it is really one of my favorite way to spend my time…I know sound lazy.
The point is that my sleep is extremely light, that’s why I need to sleep more time to feel really refreshed but at the same time, when I fall asleep I dream always, and alway multi-crazy-dreams.
I dream so much that I developed a kind of ability of control my own dreams, for example changing the way they are going when I don’t like it.
I really love to sleep!
