Something New :)

Dear friend,

Today I just wanted to give you a little advance about something exciting that I have been putting together. And that is a new store dedicated to my original papercuts only. They will be an alternative to my gallery work, which is a bit pricier. 

Title: The Departure (about a girl that is becoming a woman)

The pieces on the new store will be framed and ready to hang and the prices will go from $99 (plus shipping & handling) to aproximately $400. My larger and more intricate papercuts are currently being sold at Couturier Gallery here in Los Angeles, CA. for prices that go from $600 to $2500.

Title: The Hand (about a woman that has decided to take her destiny in her own hands)

I think that the store will be ready to go live on September 14, 2009. I will keep you updated on this. The 2 pieces on this post will be part of the first update. I am absolutely in love with them! The vintage inspired frames measure 7.3/4" in height by 5.3/4" in width. The price for each one of these pieces is $250. But I already have 6 different ones for $99 each, featuring Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Pan, Three Little Pigs, Alice in Wonderland and Petter Rabbit.

If you're thinking about something unexpected, a special present for someone in your life, something that could be treasured for generations, then I invite you to visit my new store in September. You will find a little piece of my heart in every single papercut :)

Happy Monday!

Our Little Man :)

Today I just wanted to share this picture of Diego with you. Our little prince is doing amazing. 

*His vocabulary is huge now! 

*He is talking in long sentences.

*His favorite questions is: Hey! What do you think you're doing? (in his opinion that means: what are you doing?)

*Whenever he does something "bad" he says: Don't worry Mommy, it's just an accident. And then he smiles just like in the picture above.

*He asks me to open a word document on my computer so he can spell his favorite words and those words are:

-sponge bob

-open season 2

-monsters inc

-diego

-abc

*He is friend with Sally's cat now. Sally's cat is not super friendly but he likes Diego. Diego decided to call him Hello Kitty. He says: Hi Hello Kitty, what a cute little cat, you're so cute Hello Kitty.

Diego's main quality is that loves people (and people love him back). The only little detail is that if you don't look as young as Natalie who is 6 then you're automatically a Grandma or Grandpa, even if you're 20. We're trying to correct this :0 Because some people take it really personal, specially if they are, let's say 40 and look amazing. Diego still will say: Hi GrAAAndma! (he makes the letter A very long, which is even harder for the person in question) 

But we promise to keep working on this detail :)

Lots of love!

Happy Friday and have a great weekend my friend!

New Paper Piece.

For my show in Sept. This one is titled Open Head and you can see detailed pictures of it HERE

I also wanted to tell you that Natalie is back from Australia. I am sooo happy to have her back! She is telling me all the stories about the trip. It was lots of fun and she created the most amazing art pieces that Bill decided to keep in his office. Natalie also got to meet super cute Suri who is with her Mom over there working in the movie. My Mother in Law talked a little bit with Kate and she says that Kate is the nicest girl ever, very sweet and friendly. Everyone who meets her says the same thing. Yay for Katie! And on the other hand I can't wait for the movie to be finished because that means that Bill will come back home!!!!

See you on Friday!
