Dreaming

“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” 
― John Lennon

I used oil pastels, acrylics, watercolor pencils and pump dye which I have no idea what it might be in English but here is a link and I hope you can understand me:

When I was drawing my girl, I was thinking about a student of mine who has purple hair. I mean she's always changing her hair color. It was pink in February. Then it was navy blue and now it is purple. She's a bold girl and I like that.

Love & Friendship

"A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful, is dimmed and even lost  before we reach adulthood."

Where's your inner child?

Hello Elizabeth, Susi, Valerie, Rosie! Hello My Lovelies!

How are you all? Hope you are well!Well, it's Carnaval here and it's time to dance and celebrate. Let your inner child play because everything is possible if you keep your dreams in your heart and your eyes open to life.

I drew the girl, the branch with flowers and owl, the lovely tiger. The grass and flowers are made of foam, the hanging pot and cup are made of fabric. I could have designed everything but I love mixing things. I always tell my daughter that the only possession she's going to inherit is my journals.They will keep me alive when I'm gone. They are the proof of my existence.

What else do you need?

Hello Elizabeth! Hello My Lovelies!

How are you? Hope life has been treating you well. This is my last week at home: yep, work starts on February 2nd. The dream is over. I am an indoor type I confess. Love staying in with my girls. But there is no choice: life is shouting "c'mon Karla! Let's start over, my dear! ". So here I go, afraid of the new educational policies which make  no sense at all, especially after being teaching for 25 years. Neoliberalism destroys everything. I hope to retire before things get worse. What gives me solace is the fact that I love my job.

There is no news about my daughter's university yet. The  process is long and tiring. We are here waiting and waiting. But we will survive.

Have a magical day!

Here and Now

“If you only had 48 hours left to live, would you spend it like you normally spend your weekends? If not, why spend 2/7th of your life wasting your free time? After all, free time isn’t free. Free time is the most expensive time you have, because nobody pays for it but you. But that also makes it the most valuable time you have, as you alone stand to reap the profits from spending it wisely.” 
― Jarod Kintz

Merry Christmas

“My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?”
