About Me
I started hand embroidering gifts for friends and family.
Honestly, they were pretty bad, but they help me practice and practice and eventually get better with the craft.
Throughout this exploration process, I fell in love with the possibilities of the thread and the needle and started to create more elaborated designs, mixing with acrylic or watercolor painting, beading, appliqués or felt patches from time to time.
Currently I do commission works and teach workshops around my community
If you want to learn more about my journey and my art, see my complete “About Me” page.

How’s your creative space? Do you have one?
Are you invading the dinning room or taking over any other space to create?
Perhaps your bedroom is now a “multipurpose” room that looks more like a craft store warehouse?
Are you like super tidy and neat?
Or…
Are you like me and always ends up making a super messy “desmadre” anywhere you are working on your projects?
I mean, I do try to be neat and look bien dreamy like IG usually show us on here, but the reality is that creativity implies some level of messiness.
And that’s perfectly OK😉

Today we had our first Guest Teaching Artist Workshop at the CushiCushi915 Studio with @pinsandneedlesep who not only thought us how to bead weave, but also shared her story and how urgent and meaningful is that all of us reclaim and preserve our own history and traditions.
Muchas gracias Cindy por compartir tu conocimiento y testimonio de amor a tus raíces ancestrales!

Here’s the thing about hand embroidery: it’s such a vast and beautiful universe!! And I promise you I’m not just saying it because it’s what I do.
I say it because when I look at the textures, the colors, the shapes, the shimmering, the contrast, the highlights, the juxtaposition of materials, etc., all of it is just like a big sensorial craving that you didn’t even know existed inside of you!
Or, maybe I’m just weird. And touchy!👐👀
No se crean!! Jk!😝
Anyways. Always amazed to keep learning and playing with different materials!🙌
Happy weekend!!
