Hola! We are back from a crazy whirlwind of art shows, mini vacations, classes, and creating new pieces. I feel like it was just March a week ago!
Our visit and show in Taos was wonderful and a much needed vacation from our day jobs! We traveled to Chimayo one day and took the the high road back to Taos, stopping along the way to take pictures and visit with other artists. The art show was great as usual and to top it all off, our art work is now available at the Carlos Sandoval Studio & Gallery in Taos!!! As soon as we returned to Denver, we participated in another local art show and since then we have both been busy little bees creating new pieces.
I have finished my second silversmithing class and loved every minute of it. Here is a picture of my latest creation- a lapis ring, shank was roll milled for a sweet flowery design, bezel is also created to be organic looking, and I finished it off with an antique finish, what do you think?!
My little studio here at home should be ready by the end of June, thanks of course to my amazing husband! I love that this new venture is opening up a whole new world for me and look forward to the fall when I will take an additional class.
Rob has also been quite busy, going to Taos a couple of times since the beginning of May to take and make sure the art work is just right. He is also getting ready to do a big show in August here in Denver at the CHAC gallery, I will post about that tomorrow, believe me it is great!!
This is me with my new Jesus in the cross tattoo. I chose this because I love Jesus and I'm not afraid to say or show that. My heart belongs to Jesus, Rob, and my sons Randy and Devin. This is not quite finished, still going to add my favorite book/chapter of the bible~Isaiah 53 down the side of the cross and maybe some flames around the top part of the cross.
This is Besina's Rose~She is getting married next month and had tatted some intials when she was much younger, mira no more reminders of the past just a beautiful rosa and a wonderful fiance!
Cousin Tone like skulls and he's old school! Our tattoo artist and good friend Brian drew this design freehand.
Tres Primas! Mona is my baby cousin and Isaias is married to my cousin Ray. There just wasn't enough time for everyone to get their ink! Isaias is going to get a beautiful Dia de los Muertos lady on her upper shoulder blade soon!
Cousin Cardo getting his first tat, he chose the "Smile now, Cry later" theater masks. I told him he should fit in with all the other vato loco gangstas!
