Paper Sculpture (Little Dress)
And here is the little paper sculpture that I just finished! The paper that I used for this one has a lovely texture that I am really enjoying. I have been craving working with paper for sooo long, the last time I did was last year. This little dress will go soon to my Etsy store. This little dress is already for sell here.I have all these nice papers, sharp scissors and knifes, all I need is TIME. The other day when I went to the Blick store I asked the young man at the cashier (my favorite one, the one with the pierced nose, OUCH) if they had time for sell, like by the hour? But he responded that unfurtunately they didn't have any. I told him that whenever they have some I would like to buy about 1000 hours a month and he said that he would like to do the same thing so there are two of us in the waiting list!
And now it's time to go!
But I will see you tomorrow!

(Bill got me a beautiful colorful pair of sandals and those colors inspired me to make something cute! If I can finish it today I will show it to you tomorrow, paper is also involved in this one. SURPRISE SURPRISE!!! :)
I LOVE this dress! You must have sooo much patience! :0)I hope you and Bill had a soooper time for his B-day!!!! xx

Yes Lois!! Our dinner last night was GREAT. Bill was very happy :) I just ate too much. This morning I feel like running 20 miles. Instead I have to DRIVE those 20 miles taking Diego to places for his therapies :o And also Natalie has some music class :) Mondays are always very busy for me. But I will have lunch with a good friend of mine so I can complain about this with him too :0 (Just Kidding!!!)
I am so glad to know that you like the little dress!

Beautiful! You are so multi-talented and I love your enthusiasm - could you bottle that, and sell it to us too? :)

HI Elsita, I love the little papercut dress. I always admire the top photo on your blog when I visit here.
If you ever have some time could you visit my site and take a look at the blog entry for "Doodles by Tara". She is my daughter and if you have any advise for her as what paper and drawing implements to use that would be great. Right now she uses drawing paper and markers. Thanks, Lori

you already know I adore the dress and the bird because of my flickr comment. Can you get me on the waiting list for those hours. My brain might explode it is getting so filled up with ideas for things I want to make and new techniques I want to try. I wish you didn't have to drive all that distance. I am going to wish for a driver for you so that you can sit in the back seat and draw, sew or knit while weaving your way through LA traffic. I would recommend that you leave the scissors at home.

Your work is so inspiring to me. I fell in love with it since I found your beautiful paper fly sculpture on Etsy. I will definitely check back to see more of your pretties.
