Happy Sunday

E depois de três dias maravilhosos que passaram em segundos voltei ao trabalho!

And after three wonderful days I came back to work!

O Solar...como foi... *** The Solar ... as ...

Já faz uma semana que o dia foi passado no Solar dos Zagallos.

Foi a minha primeira experiência em feira de artesanato ou evento do género.

O espaço é fantástico, vale a apena visitar, a organização muito boa.

Um dia completamente diferente. Dou os meus parabens aos actores e actrizes que figuraram durante todo o dia pelo espaço, foram exelentes.

Conheci outros artistas, vi outros trabalhos e tive uma recepção muito positiva ao meu trabalho.

... Valeu a pena.

It's been a week since the day was spent in the Solar Zagallo.

It was my first experience in arts and crafts fair or event of its kind.

The space is fantastic, it's just visiting, the organization very good.

A day completely different. I give my congratulations to the actors and actresses who have figured all day in space, were exelentes.

I met other artists, I saw other works and i had a very positive reception to my work.

... It was a very positive experience!

ThongbaiTatong

I've been very busy with a craft fair and create stock for the local shop.

But Bai,  from ThongbaiTatong  presented me with a pleasant surprise that I must share with you.

ThongbaiTatong is a shop on Etsy with wonderful clothes with a unique and special  design that I love.

This weeks Bai put new skirts and tops in the store and mailed me the picture where it was nothing more nor less than my necklace of blue line in the composition of the photograph. I am truly honored. The top is beautiful!  Thank you Bai!

 

Visit her blog, there are always surprises!

 

 

Tenho andado muito atarefada com a festa do solar dos Zagallos  e a criar stock para as lojas.

Mas a querida Bai, da ThongbaiTatong presenteou- me com uma agradavel surpresa que não posso deixar de partilhar com voçês.

ThongbaiTatong é um a loja na Etsy com roupas maravilhosas com um design unico e especial, que eu adoro.

Esta semana Bai pôs novas saias e tops na loja e enviou-me a fotografia onde estava, nada mais nada menos, que o meu colar das linhas azuis, na composição da fotografia. Estou muito contente. O top é lindo!
Obrigada Bai!


Visitem o blog dela, sempre tem surpresas!

A minha ausência My absence

Tem sido dificil passar por aqui.


Como sabem eu tambem faço conservação e restauro de azulejos antigos.

Este painel estava a precisar de uma grande ajuda.

Tem sido muito trabalho em pouco tempo. Mas isso é bom não acham?
 
 

It's been hard to come by.

As you know I also do conservation and restoration of old tiles.

This panel was in need of a great help.

It has been much work in little time. But that is good isn't it?

Packing and Shipping

This is another theme I consider very important. Making pottery requires double care when it comes to packing.

I don´t want to take any risks in this área. Despite making my pieces with white clay of excellent quality, packing and shipping always demands maximum care.

All the packaging for the bowls and jewelry are made by me. In bowls’s packaging, care is enhanced, as you can see in the image.

After making the box, I increase it´s resistance with styrofoam.

 

In this case I'll put a small cup of the flower. she is wrapped in bubble wrap. I love to give a little surprise. this case the client will receive earrings as a gift. Everything will be completely packed with bubble wrap.

At the post office, i always ship my orders with insurance and tracking number, for a safe and quick delivery!

 so I can locate the order later if necessary.

I love my job. By dispatching a creation of mine, I intend, when she arrives at its destination, the customer likes to receive so much as I enjoyed creating.

Photography

This theme begins to take a long time inside my head. I'm almost beginning to get obsessed. It's simple, it is well known that the image is what sells a piece. Of course the work must be of quality, everything has to be great, but .... the image is the first thing the customer looks.

And I've been ... well .... without quite knowing which way to turn. I have read great articles, for example of Carita  on the Hand made Europe , but have not found the way I want. I know I'm very demanding and I am never satisfied. but I still have a long way to go. And this next week I will begin to make new experiences, new pictures with my pieces.

Alma Lusa

My work is now available in the shop Alma Lusa in Lisbon airport.

Spring

Finalmente os dias de Inverno estão a chegar ao fim. 
Não quis deixar de assinalar esta mudança de estação aqui no blog. Mas acontece que passei horas nisto, confesso.
Poderia ter mudado uma ou outra coisa mas...não. Depois de varias pesquisas e consultas, voltas e mais voltas.Fazer, correr mal, voltar a fazer.... enfim,  finalmente tenho as barras de separadores, na parte superior do blog.



Finally the winter days are coming to an end.
I meant to mark the change of season here on the blog. But it happens that I spent hours on this, I confess.
Could have changed a few things but ... not. After several hours of consultations. Do, go wrong, go back to do it again .... I finally got the bar tab at the top of the blog.

Estas são algumas imagens que tirei esta semana num fantástico dia de sol.
These are some pictures I took this week in a fantastic sunny day.

Pregadeiras / Brooch

Depois de analisar muito bem a minha colecção , reparei que havia um iten em falta....

Pus mãos à obra, pesquisa de lojas de acessórios para comprar os alfinetes, buscas na net. Enquanto isso no atelier a modelagem das flores a sua pintura, estudo de embalagens.

Eis que finalmente e depois de varias tentativas frustradas de conseguir fazer uma foto no exterior SEM CHUVA, o sol fez uma breve visita e aqui estão elas.

Qual é a mulher que não gosta de receber uma flor?

After reviewing well, my collection, I noticed that there was a missing iten ...

I set to work, searching for stores to buy accessories for the pins, searching the net, research prices, etc.. Meanwhile in the studio I did the modeling of flowers, her painting and the study of packaging.

Behold, finally and after several failed attempts to make a picture outside WITHOUT RAIN, the sun made a brief visit and here they are.

What woman does not like to receive a flower?

Positive vibrations

My orange earrings were featured in this lovely treasury that Kayra made .

Take a look.

These are some of the stores where you can find my creations!

Enjoy the journey...

My bowl of the flower was again included in a beautiful treasury. This time it was the talented ArzuMusa, who made this magnificent treasury. Take a look.

Tomorrow I will spend part of my day taking pictures of my new work. I will bring new decorative items and jewelry. For me all phases of work are important since the design of the item to your package (I who create and perform).

One moment in heaven...

Look at that beautiful treasury that Ana "Rosemary" did. All items are beautiful. She put my new bowl "The blue bowl of the flower".

This treasury expire on February 26, see it is so beautiful!
