Portal

The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Healing

With these concentric designs - it’s like you take every single intention you think of while making and every property of the stone and it gets magnified and transmitted in waves. Never ending waves. And not only are the transmissions spread far and wide but they permeate your most personal spaces. Like all of your work, they hold great power. One can be healed and spread healing at the same time.
— Mary Jane Dodd

In its purest form, creativity is the outward expression of an inner voice, vision, or idea.
— Doreen Virtue

Treasure

When I was little, I used to dream that one day I would find a treasure. I wanted this so much that I once took a rhinestone-covered button from my mother's sewing box, and with a needle pried each one out. Then I showed them to my parents, and said: I found diamonds in the lot next door! 

Now I constantly find treasures. In the shadows of trees, in the images of history books, in visions in my mind. I see connections, shapes and ideas that I can use to create. These are the gems that the world gives me.

Renewal

Inside you, at all times and in all places, is a calm still space. Go there and renew yourself. That is your source, it is no-thing and every-thing.

Magnets

I bought these calavera magnets for the Day of the Dead. After the festivities, I almost removed them, but decided to play with them instead.

Now, whenever I need a break, I stand in front of the fridge and wonder if there's another way to arrange them.

I share this with you, because this is how I create my jewelry. I look at what I've just made, and ask: what else can I do with this? 
 


Taller Experimental de Cerámica

I recently visited the Taller Experimental de Cerámica, which is a few blocks from my home in Coyoacán.

The studio was founded in the 1960's by stoneware pioneer, Alberto Díaz de Cossío. If you have been to Mexico City, and love great Japanse food, you have probably seen their dinnerware in some of the best restaurants in town.

As well as their utilitarian production, Alberto and his daughter, Adriana, create unique art works which are also for sale in their studio shop. Each year, they celebrate an open house with friends, quesadillas, and mezcal. 


Diego Rivera's Studio

I took these pictures of Diego Rivera's home and studio a few years ago. It is one of my favorite buildings in Mexico City. The day I visited, the property had been recently renovated and looked particularly striking.

The two buildings were designed by Juan O'Gorman in the 1930's. The white and orange structure was Diego's, and the smaller blue house was Frida's. They lived and worked here for six years, after their three-year stay in the US. 

When Frida's father passed away, she returned to live in her childhood home, the now famous Blue House, in Coyoacán.

Diego painted most of his easel paintings in this studio, and he lived here until his death in 1957.

The property is now a museum. You can see pictures of what it looks like on the inside, on the museum's website.
 


Thank you!

The best gift life brings me, is the opportunity to create from a space of love and peace. You are part of this gift, which I cherish dearly.

Thank you for the love you send my way, and for encouraging my daily exploration of forms that embody my deepest dreams.

I could not imagine a better path, and I send you my heartfelt gratitude for allowing me to wander and bring treasures from my inner journey.

May life bless you every minute with joy, beauty, and inspiration!
