Mola Art
A veces no valoramos el arte nacional. Me emociona reencontrarme con las molas, me identifico por que es de mi país, las he visto desde que nací y no deja de impresionarme el detalle y el cuidado con que cada una está hecha.
Conocí a Marbelia, trabaja enfrente de mi oficina, tiene un puesto donde vende molas y pulseritas y le pregunté si me podía ayudar con una versión de hongo Mushmellow en mola. Fue muy emocionante, me dijo "Tráeme el dibujo" y el resto fue arte de ella. El día que fui a buscar las molas y las vi dije "WAO!", las amé!! Dónde están? En algunas clutch, algunas carteras grandes y otras están por ver dónde y cómo las uso según me inspire.
Sometimes we take for granted our national art. It's exciting for me to rediscover molas, I've seen them since I was born, I feel connected because they're from my country and it's always impressing to see the care and details in each one.
I met Marbelia, she works in front of my office, she has a stand where she sells molas and wristbands and I asked her if she could help me do a mola version of the Mushmellow mushroom. It was very exciting, she told me to bring her a drawing and that was it, the rest was her own art. The day I went to pick them up I said "WAO!" when I saw them. Where are they now? In some clutches, some handbags and others are waiting for inspiration to see where I'll put them so they completely stand out.
Mush bags-itas
My last experiment was this little cross bags thinking about what I like to wear when I go out.
Llaveros + Colorrrrssss!
I found new and way more fun material for my keyfobs, the only thing is that I haven't been able to stop making them! XD
Más Ferias!
Lo malo: La seguridad deja mucho que desear, se robaron mi celular y el guardia dijo que la cámara no llegaba a nuestro stand.
Lo bueno: Amistad, gente felicitando por lo que hacemos y porque somos Panameñas y las fresas con crema de la gente de Chiriquí! yummy
I went back to the fair Feria de Artesanías de ATLAPA this year. This time, I wasn't alone, two friends from the handmade world joined me and we shared space: Maika from Sweet and More and Elvia from Uchuu Koneko Accesorios. It was fun to have company and to compare how injured you can get while doing what we do.
Downside: Security wasn't near good, someone stole my cellphone and the security guard said that the cameras couldn't reach our stand.
Highlight: Friendship, people saying lovely things about our work and because we're Panamanians and of course the delicious strawberries with cream from the Chiriquí people, yummy!

The return of the mushroom
Hola! he estado ausente varios meses porque decidí tomar un diplomado en diseño web, muy bueno, bastante techie y ya terminó. Mis telas me piden a gritos que las use y todo empieza de nuevo con este pequeño y gordo experimento! XD
Hi! I've been away for several months because I was taking an intensive course on web design, it was great, very techie and it's over. My fabrics are screaming, asking to be used for projects so I listened and everything starts again with this tiny and chubby purse! XD
