Party in the Barrio

Oh it's that time of year, people want to go out and baile! And what does la gente do when the weekend rolls around, they go to the local dancehall or bar to get their party on! This painting is so fun and could be considered mature, but it's still all about fun in the land of enchantment where people from small towns don't have much to do!

Here are my newest polyclay beads, not much but it's a start. I'm trying to incorporate some girly colors into some new pieces, you know try to summer things up a little! They are waiting to be sanded and made purty. I love being able to make different designs and colors!

¡Venga mire lo que es nuevo!

¡Venga mire lo que es nuevo! Come look at what is new!

Rob has already sold two of the big paintings he just finished, I managed to talk him into letting me put the other three in the Etsy shop! We have had a good response to them, starting with all of our wonderful and encouraging friends who visit our blog here and our friends from the gallery. They are what we call primitive folk art paintings and he is having alot of fun creating them. They all capture the essence of life in New Mexico or any latino community for that matter. I get excited to see what will go on each painting and often go out to see the work progress, the colors are bold and the stories they tell, perfecto!

I created two new necklaces over the weekend, Wild Rosa in creams and browns and Santa Fe Sunrise in orange and aqua. I have just finished making and baking a bunch of polymer clay beads and hope to incorporate those into some new bracelets this week. I really feel some pinks and purples coming on...
