Caminando por Bolivia Painting Progress



    

This is the newest painting I am working on. I am debating on whether I should add a little bowler hat to make her look more like a little cholita.

As you might know a piece of me is Bolivian:) And I have visited family there many times and I also feel a piece of Bolivia is with me. I wanted to create a painting with pieces that represented bolivia, such as Lake Titicaca, coca leaves, the sun represents Inti, Mt. Illimani, Mountains, a cholita, and I also made her shirt red, so that the color of the flags was represented with the red, green and yellow.

I still have more work to do, but she is coming along.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

This weekend


I have been up to quite a bit!
Here are some random pictures I took of the weekend.
I have a few more tote bags I created using my artwork. The one above is of an inspiration of mine.

I am adding them to my Etsy shop: http://peachycheek.etsy.com/

I am also giving 10% off for you, my sweet blog pals.

Just use the promo code JuneBlogLove at checkout! Plus there is free shipping on all my tote bags.

 I can't get enough of these smoothies!!! I have been making strawberry and banana smoothies for breakfast. They are so filling!!




I have been making different smoothies, but my favorite is my breakfast smoothie.
I use a packet of Breakfast essentials, 3/4 cup of milk, 4 ice cubs, a banana, and a few strawberries, and a multi-vitamin.



 

 Veggies with hummus and chopped up red peppers





We went back to Whole Foods for lunch. I munched on veggies, hummus, hearts of palm, and orzo salad.



The weather changed from sunny to warm, to breezy winds to rain. It was a perfect weekend to curl up and do some reading and watch some movies.




Though I am in Connecticut,  I imagine that the our rocky hills are rocky mountains, and for just a brief second I am in the west, in the desert, in mymind.

art rings



I am adding new jewelry items to the Etsy shop of my art work. These necklaces are also pins so if you don't want to wear a necklace you can pin it to your bag or jacket. And the rings are adjustable.

I am also taking custom orders on rings and necklaces.

How does a custom order work? Well, good question. You send me a photo and I will make it into a ring or necklace.

Working in the Shop


I am revamping the Etsy shop and I am adding new items too! Its time for a little bit of spring cleaning!

I've been selling more postcard and rings lately! I love the rings because they are adjustable and can fit around my chubby little fingers. The postcards can be used to send a note to someone or as a framed print.

One of my favorite items are the pocket mirrors! I keep these in every bag I have!
