More News!

Dear friend:

Many exciting things are happening. I am getting ready for 2011. The first thing that you will notice will be a change in the look of this blog. This place is undergoing it's first major makeover since I started it in 2007!  I'm planning on launching the new look sometime in January of 2011, to start the new year nice and fresh. I am loving the new design, it is cleaner, more organized and easier to navigate. 

At some point this blog will go down for a day or so in order for me to do some tests, but everything will be back to normal soon after I do some adjustments. 

Another important piece of news is that I purchased my very first ceramic kiln. I will use it mostly for porcelain. This is a dream come true. I will finally be able to fire my own porcelains.

I can't wait to share all my creative experiences with you in 2011. This has been a hard year, but also an important one in terms of personal growth. Everything (my niece's trauma in Chile, re-connecting with my Dad after so many years, Diego's new life in Kindergarten, Bill's accident, my brother Rene's cancer...) everything needs to come out through my art.

One of the things that I am doing for the new blog design is re-writing my about page. I will leave you with a tiny advance. I never told you that I am 1 of 8 children in my huge family. See down here? I am #5 :)

Also, did you notice the nice pattern that my father followed for having his children?: girl-boy, boy-girl, girl-boy and boy-girl.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

And see you next year!!

Elsita :)

It's one I'll remember. It's so inspiring and gives me a new perspective on challenges in life. I will especially remember this line, "As long as I wake up to a new day every morning, no matter what the circumstances are, I am always sure that everything will be alright." Thank you for being so willing to share.
