The stupidest form of vandalism…

Posted in everyday, happy, life, me by Natalia on May 14th, 2008

 So I was having coffee in the teather cafe.. and as a result of a lot of caffeine.. decided to break into the teather to go play piano..(as if i play piano)

So I was running like a mad woman (please don’t mention that I run like a little girl..)

 And when I got there there was in the last step .. a block in the stairs  stopped me.. couldnt go in because of my heels…Then a guard came over…

 And I ran once again..

The lesson:

… don’t ever drink expresos and break into a teather…

On laundry becoming magical and getting fed up with routine

Posted in everyday, life by Natalia on May 5th, 2008

I’m writing from my bed..Something is on the TV, I have music on, and it’s 9:00pm and what can I say…sometimes with all the daily mess, with being tired many many times, with some days that I wake up really wanting to stay in bed all day..I get really fed up.

 

I hate routine I really do in general in life, in relationships, in friendships… I guess I’m a bit unstable…but as of late and fully out of the blue, I started thinking that rutine might not be as bad as it seems, depends on the place you are and the people around you…and what you are doing…

 

Who knows, I have a lot of questions these days, and not one answer…and as I said some days I get so frustrated and days like today I just focus on cleaning up my working space, doing some drawing, laundry, is some sort of counciousness that one way or another, after you work more than 8 hours a day the silly, simple things give so much satisfaction.

 

I don’t know if I’m making any sense but I was asked about what I do during the weekends, and well I put my hair in a bun, get some flip-flops and clean this whole house, do some cooking, drink tea, watch movies, do laundry, and how can I explain at 9:00pm after a day of just doing the most common tasks.. I feel so good.

On making fountains pouring water out of a Sphere… (silver piece)

Posted in art, dream, everyday, fashion, fun, handmade, happy, life, love, me, original by Natalia on April 3rd, 2008
Finally finished my fountain, I want to continue with the water theme as I did with the Little Jar

The chains move with every movement one makes and this for me is the highlight of it,also the water is meant to be pouring from the chain in the neck into it (am weird I know  Cheesy)

This took a  fair bit of work but I’m very proud it’s exactly as I had it pictured in my head and it was born out of a sphere,( In school we had to make a piece based on a sphere), and well if you cut a sphere in 4 you pretty much get these little pots..

I’m so so happy with it and I’m so happy I can share the completed pictures of it, it’s a great feeling to finish things..

I have some sketches of variations of this piece, I want to make earrings and maybe one that is not as elaborate something more simple for people that like more minimal things.

The funny thing is that one thing leads to the other.. All started with water theme.. after making the fountain I’m looking into more ideas of developing this idea in different manners.. and I found this site which features all these beautiful water fountains..

Wouldn’t something like this make a great pendant?

On being Lazy every once in a while..

Posted in Uncategorized by Natalia on March 24th, 2008

Well had a good rest , in CR we celebrate Easter the whole week, (no chocolate eggs which is no good if you have any left overs send them my way I’m humbleeeeee! ) SO we have different traditions.. I got 2 days out of work last week.

 

Been off for 4 days in a row which I haven’t had since.. mmm a long long time. And had the chance of waking up and instead of jumping out of bed and running off to get the towel and shower. I was lazy , turned on the TV stood in bed..

 

I actually cooked breakfast, proper ones and then catched up on all pending things I had, did a lil clean up, went off to get some sun, played with my baby brother took him out to watch the Horton movie which we both loved.

 

It was beautiful to have some time off to plan things up, had a tiny bit of silver and made 2 tiny pendants out of them which I will finish up next Friday when I go to class..

 

And well sorry to bore you with all my everyday chat. But wow it’s amazing what some days doing nothing just relaxing being with yourself can do… I charged up my batteries and feel ready to go back to the 2 jobs, to sketching ideas, to wake early.. It’s all good.

 

I feel grateful today.

On the pain of heels, taxi driver labor plans and 3 min soups..

Posted in Random, costa rica, everyday, funny, happy, life, me, original, reality by Natalia on March 18th, 2008

So yesterday I was very very tired, had a bit of a hard day and was wearing this big heels of hell (I have to use heels at work) .. and in a point where I couldn’t take it, took a cab.

 I probably sat down with all the will in the world the cab driver said ” you sat down alright” and laughed.. He was 40 something looking like he needed coffee.

So I told him I was dying and my desperate sitting down was because of the heels..and I mentioned how If I could make rules in the world I would make men use KILLER heels at least once in their life..

So the taxi driver agreed .. and I told him like .. It’s dumb like we have to go through the labor part and still we keep some other small daily pains..

And that’s when I cracked up .. he said ” Well If I was a woman I wouldn’t have any kids.. at all If I had to because is human I’d had one BUT ONE ONLY.. I would need someone to be with me , i would be desperate it looks so terrible and I would get an operation or something…to never have kids again. I dont know how woman who have one kid keep having them.. ”

And I said ” yeee I agree adoption is always a resource too so many kids without homes.. “

Then I dropped one of those 3 min soups out of my grocery bag..

me:               ” ARGGHH my soup…”

He said …. : ” ahhh which soup..” , ” are those the ones you put in the microwave and are done in a sec? “…

me: Yup , you want one?

40 yr old cab driver: “Yeah, why not thank you”.

Then I got off feeling good not realizing we went from heels to his having birth plans to me giving him a  soup…

am a happy person..

Adieu :D

On flowers and kissing peacocks..

Posted in everyday, friends, fun, funny, happy, life, me, nature, sweet by Natalia on March 12th, 2008

Don’t have much to write today.. but I did buy pretty flowers and a special gift from my friend Einstein..

 “To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven  in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.”

- William Blake

So as we were talking one day he mentioned he was going to the zoo with his Daugther.. so I asked him to kiss a peacock for me.. and I’m so happy..

 This my friends it’s 2 of the things I like the most together.. not making out coz the peacock doesn’t seems to like him..it’s giving him the ” WTF humans are absurd look” …

Yeee as I told him a picture like this for me it’s more meaningful than 12 roses wrapped in ribbons..I like alternative details ..

Have a good 1 !  

 

 

On Silver Balls, Porcelain eggs, Mushrooms to store Acid and toes..

Posted in crafts, everyday, fun, happy, life, love, shopping, silver, studio, vintage, workshop by Natalia on March 6th, 2008

So the other day was a day of shopping for random things as one does…

I have this thing for little things, or strange things, and I keep puting them everywere, now that the studio is actually looking like a studio then I am starting to buy things to give it a more personal touch..

Starting with my favorite a couple of Mushrooms to store acid and borax.. :D

Then my lil vintage ..porcelain egg.. I don’t like roses much but this had blue and black tones on it so it gives it a nice touch…

dsc00082.jpg

.. yee look at what’s inside.. :D

This has a little story.. the thing is we had to make a perfect sphere.. and to know it was perfect once done it had to roll in a parallel line, back and forth which meant it was fully perfect all around..

Mine rolled and I almost cried ahaha! (you can see me there, and that in my hand is something important I wrote but it fade so I don’t remember haha ), It’s 16mm

Then I got this pretty scarf coz I got a thing for scarfs I got too many all colors some made by me some purchased, It used to be the same with hats I had about 25 hats and gave them all away when I went to Aust.

This one is nice coz is very light.. bit silly to wear big scarfs when you live in CR.

And that’s all for today! :D

Please remind me to sew a dress like this one…

I think I got it figured it out…

Posted in everyday, life, love, me, opinion, problem by Natalia on February 26th, 2008

..people watch too many love movies,read too many love books, listen to too many love songs.

Here’s the scene:

- Place I hate but I had to agree to go….

-  … highlights…(not on me)

- Awkward silences..

- Looking at the clock every 5 mins…

 

To make a long story short.. I learnt one thing people look, and want a love story.. something out of a Hollywood movie..

I’m sure you knew this.. but it applies to men too..

He asked me about Chemistry .. and I answered that I was concentrated on my tiramisu not looking at any chemistry…

.. and I guess he was offended..

Why does every time one goes out with someone it has to be because your looking for something?

And as I’ve mentioned before.. and when your not looking for anything? then what…

If it’s meant to be from a movie instead of  those romance flicks.. or Gone with the wind..

I want something more Annie Hall… :D
