Cena::dinner



Rosa, mi suegra, me regaló este increíble olla hecha de barro, un tipo de material que es tipico y se trabaja en una pequeña ciudad llamada Pomaire aqui en Chile, una verdadera artesanía y hacen de todo con este material además de ollas y fuentes. Hoy hice este guiso de verduras que es especial para este tipo de olla y además es un plato bastante tipico de Latinoamerica.

Rosa, my mother in law gave me this amazing mud pot made here in Chile in a place called Pomaire. This small town is well known for this kind of craftwork, and they made a lot of things not only pots of course. So, tonight I made a kind of vegetable stew, wich was perfect for this kind of pot and is a typical main course in many countries in Latin America.

Vetements




Mañana comienza el otoño y aunque es una estación hermosa, voy a extrañar el verano. Esta marca de vestidos es tan romantica, refrescante y femenina, son de Chile y sus diseños me hacen acordar a la brisa del verano, los días soleados, flores y bueno...ustedes saben, en fin, creo que de todas maneras voy a usar uno de estos vestidos con un saco bien abrigado

Tomorrow we will start fall and even is a beautiful season too, I will miss summer. This label is so refreshing, girly and romantic. They are from Chile and remind me so much to that breeze of summer, sunny days, flowers and well...you know, anyway I will use one of these with a very warm coat

Bazar de la Fortuna



Esta es una mueblería increíble que conocí hace poco. Esta situada en Providencia en un barrio emergente llamado Barrio Italia, donde se están instalando arquitectos, diseñadores, artesanos, tiendas de diseño, etc. Cuando uno entra a Bazar de la Fortuna se encuentra en un galpón enorme lleno de cosas hermosas como sofas, escritorios, mesas, sillas, etc. Todo es hecho a mano y a medida, y también se puede elegir los colores de pintura y las telas para tapizar. Realmente amé este lugar! Les cuento después más sobre este hermoso barrio que está surgiendo...

Dance dance dance


Hace unos años atrás hice este dibujo y se lo regalé para el cumpleaños a mi querida amiga Carla. En esos momentos estudiaba dibujo y era una época un poco dificil para mi, me hacía varias preguntas sobre mi futuro y me sentía un poco perdida, supongo que se refleja eso un poco en los rasgos duros de la bailarina. Elegí el tema de la danza porque siempre me atrajo no solo por los movimientos del cuerpo sino como arte, como expresión, además en ese momento estaba viendo muchas cosas de Degas y creo que me obsesioné con ese tema. No se bailar y porsupuesto jamás estudié danza aunque me hubiese encantado, pero me gustaria retomar el tema de las bailarinas. Además tengo pensado ir con mi hermana esta temporada al Teatro Municipal de Santiago a ver algo de ballet y algun concierto, la cartelera de esta temporada está muy tentadora.

A few years ago I made this drwaing and I gave to my dearest friend Carla for her birthday. In those times I was studing drawing and painting and I remembered this time as a very difficult times for me, I had a lot of questions about my future, I felt very lost sometimes, and I guess that this feeling is very clear in the hard face of the ballerina. I choose this dance subjetc because I was obsesed with Degas and his ballerinas and of course I respect a lot this amazing and beautiful art as an expression of human body and perfect art of all times. I don´t know anything about dance but I love drawing ballerinas and I want to do it again. Also I´m thinking about to go this season with my sister to the Teatro Municipal de Santiago (Cityhall Theater of Santiago) to see ballet and concert of the Philarmonic orchestra of Santiago, they will play Beethoven and Mozart, I´m really exciting about this and I´m thinking to go with my sketch book
