Tika Box

These boxes are calles Tika Box. They are hand made in India, and they are used to keep the red pigment that both men and women put in the middle of their head front before entering the sacred temples. I have a few of them in my home, in a special place, over the chimeny, and when sometimes when I look of them I dream of India. The paradise for inspiration.

Estas cajitas se llaman Tika Box. Están hechas a mano en la India y se utilizan para guardar el pigmento rojo que tanto mujeres y hombres se ponen con un dedo en el centro de la frente antes de entrar en los templos sagrados. Tengo unas cuantas de ellas en mi casa encima de la chimenea. Y a veces cuando me fijo en ellas sueños con la India. El paraíso de la inspiración.

Me

This photos were taken by a wonderful photographer who also lives in Segovia. I hope to work more with him.

Pink with Blue, Blue with Pink

Blue and pink, or pink with blue, there is something about that combination that has no words to describe what it makes one feel.

Azul y rosa, rosa con azul, hay algo en esa combinación que no tiene palabras para explicar lo que hace sentir.

Space

I lived in Holland, Amsterdam, for over 2 yars a few years ago. They have a great magazine, http://www.vtwonen,nl/

I found those photos and decided to share them in the blog,  I love the spacious feeling that house gives, it feels as if one did not have to leave the house during the whole day. The white with the touch of color is my favourite combination.

Vivi en Holanda, Amstedam, hace ya unos cuantos años. He encontrado estas fotos en la revista holandesa

http://www.vtwonen.nl/, y me ha encando la sensación de espacio de las habitaciones. Sobre todo me encanta el dominante color blanco con los toques de color. Es una casa así dan ganas de no salir en todo el día.

Need

It is friday. All I feel like doing this weekend is sleeping lots and having fresh papaya for breakfast. I think I need a holyday...

Es viernes. Todo lo que me apetece hacer este fín de semana es dormir un montón y desayunar papaya fresca. Creo que necesito unas vacaciones..

RUBI & VERDEAGUA

VOGUE Spain has published one on my necklaces on the cover page of the April 2011 issue. Inside there is a great work of photography and a beauty woman that wears my pieces all over!... I am just so thank full and happy.

The Art of Being a Princess

Just close your eyes and imagine you as a princess. Yes, a real princess. It could be possible in many ways... it is a matter of imagination. I felt like a princess this morning in my hair dresser.... but also I can feel a pricess wearing any of the two necklaces of the photos. Oh yes, one of those of the Spices Routes, that was take to places in camels and a little tent above. A bit uncomfortable...but for sure nice to dream of!

4 Years Old

We celebrated my youngest son birthday, he became 4. I am posting this photos that belong to Isabella Court (except the candie ones), as a little gift for him. I wish him happiness and a life with colors.

Hemos celebrado el cuarto cumpleaños de mi hijo pequeño. Le regalo estas imagenes de Isabella Court (excepto las de gominolas). Le deseo una vida llena de felicidad y color.

Yes, a Catalogue

In less than a year I met a woman called Nuria. Nuria means light in Arab. She spends the weekends with her adorable family in a house just next to mine. She is a fan of my work and often in our talks she ends up motivating me. It is important to have women that help each other in life. Well, today she has really encouraged me to get a paper catalogue, a nice presentation of my work in paper, a nice portafolio.

Thank you Nuria, I will start working very soon on the catalogue.

Hace menos de un año que conocí a una mujer que se llama Nuria. Nuria significa luz en árabe. Ella viene los fines de semana con su adorable familia a una casa cerca de la mía. Es una gran fan de mi trabajo y en nuestras constantes conversaciones me anima y motiva. Hoy me ha dicho que tengo que hacer un bonito catálogo en papel de mi firma. Gracias Nuria, en breve empiezo.

Moments

Thinking of the new collection.

Is not easy.

I get distracted by moments of colors.



Sun Set

I cannot describe the sun set we had today. These photos are natural...no photoshop...I am not kidding.

I was in the garden of my home.

No tengo palabras para describir el aterdecer que hemos tenido esta tarde. Estas fotos no tiene photoshop.

Se verdad. Las he hecho desde el jardincito de mi casa.

A BIT OF ME

I runed to the nearest magazine shop near my home to get the last issue (from April) of the Spanish magazine Casa&Campo. And it was there... Last August I had a wonderful visit of a team from the magazine to shoot photos at my home and most of all my work. I have to say the waiting has been really worth...

I will let you see soon more photos, but here is one that shows a bit of me.

Esta mañana me he apresurado para ir al quiosco más cercano a mi casa. Tenía la intuición de que el último número de la revista Casa&Campo (mes de abril) ya había salido. Y ahi estaba... En agosto del año pasado tuve la visita de Ana y Germán, que pasaron todo el día haciendo fotos en mi casa, y sobre todo sobre mi trabajo. La espera ha merecido la pena sin duda. Os iré mostrando más fotos, pero aqui teneis una que muestra un pedacito de mi.

Speed&Bacon

I have my jewelry in a really original store in Madrid called Speed& Bacon. It is located in one of the coolest areas and most of all what I like is the concept of the store: various Spanish designers of clothes and accesories can have their work at the store paying a very reasonable fee. It is indeed an opportunity for novel designers. You can visit more at http://www.speedandbacon.es/

Tengo una bonita selección de mis piezas en una tienda en Madrid, en el delicioso barrio de Salamanca, que se llama Speed&Bacon. Se trata de un especio precioso donde se presentan las creaciones de diversos diseñadores españoles de moda y complementos. Por una renta accesible se puede estar presente en un local espectacular.

ROMA

The ROMA bracelet is a 5 lines pearl´s with a broche that is has a vintage inspired closing. It has little stones such as turquoise and pink jade. It is elegant and beautiful. A piece for life, for many and different occasions. I usually wear mine either at a nice dinner or a normal work day, with jeans and a nice t-shirt is just fantastic. You will see how people stear at your wrist..

La pulsera ROMA es una pieza de 5 filas de perlas con un broche de inspiración vintage. Lleva unas piedritas de turquesa y de jade rosa. Se trata de una pieza para toda la vida, y para diferentes ocasiones. Yo suelo llevar la mía a una cena especial, y también durante el día, con un vaquero y una camiseta bonita, queda un look fantástico. Ya verás como notas que no te quitan el ojo de tu muñeca....

SCANDINAVIA

This is the first time I write about Scandinavia. There is so much of the style there that is influencing me lately. It is so simple and personal that drives a strong attraction of my taste, into many different areas, such as interior design, fashion, food, and in general style of life. I found out about a Norwegian online magazine called http://www.boligpluss.no/ and I found these photos. It is a small selection, but just pay attention to the feeling. I am sure this will the be the first of many posts about Scandinavia.

Esta es la primera vez que escribo sobre Escandiavia. Setrata de un estilo, tanto en decoración, moda, comida y en general de estilo de vida, que cada vez ejerce una influencia en mi creatividad más importante.

He encontrada una publicación en la web http://www.boligpluss.no/ y he seleccionado estas fotos para mostraros la esencia de su estilo, simple y fresco, pero lleno de personalidad. Estoy segura de que es la primera vez de muchas por venir que os hablo del estilo escandinavo.

GERONA

Gerona is one of my favourite places in Spain. It is a magic land full of small medieval villages and countryside, where apples and the best fruits and vegetables grow under a sun of happiness. Also, it is by the Mediterranean Sea, so you can imagine the completeness of the place. We spent last summer 10 days in a cute hotel named Casa Migdia, http://www.casamigdia.com/, and it was so perfect. I love these photos of the small garden they have, where we had dinner each night. Also, I think my oldest son  really looks like a prince in his balcony.

Living Room

It is so cold out that you can not imagine. I am really not enjoyin this weather, we are stuck at home as it keeps snowing. So I layed down in the living room and I was looking to the colorful details of my living room. We decided to go to Madrid for the weekend. I need some city and some city air.

No os imaginais el frío que hace ahí fuera. La verdad es que no estoy disfrutando de este frío, llevamos una semana metidos en casa sin salir y no para de nevar. Estaba tumabada en el salón de casa mientras observaba los coloridos detalles. Asi que hemos decidido irnos a Madrid a pasar el fín de semana, necesito un poco de aires de ciudad.
