freebies: download april 2015 calendar

Hi there!
The calendar is available on time this month! I really had a lot of fun creating these tiny elephants.
There's also something new this month: After listening to some opinions I decided to make a desktop version with only a few elements from the pattern so hopefully you guys will find it less confusing. But worry not! The pattern version is still available, as usual.
Hope you like it!
Have a great month.

what goes around comes around

The other day I started thinking about karma and how I should remember it more often.
Then I felt like creating something related to it and this is what I came up with.
At first (as it always happens when I start creating something new) I thought it was a great ideia.
Then I thought this is probably not at all original, a lot of people must have done it before. When I get to this stage I usually give up and move on to something new and that's why I have A LOT of unfinished work, I always get unmotivated along the way.
This time I decided not to give up and this is the final product, quite different from what you usually see from me but I kinda like it.

Have a great week!

freebies: download january 2015 calendar

Hello there!
This year I decided I wanted to create some patterns which is something I don't normally do but I like it quite a lot.
It took me a while to decide if I wanted to keep on creating the free calendars but new january started and I still had my december calendar as my cellphone wallpaper I decided to create a new one for january, using the elements I was already creating for my first pattern.
So, if all goes well, this year i'll have 12 new calendars with 12 different patterns to offer you  to use them as wallpapers.
Hope you like this.

my first screenprints and a christmassy giveaway

Se me seguem nas redes sociais, já sabem que há duas semanas fiz um workshop the serigrafia.
O que não sabem é que adorei! Aliás, eu própria não sabia que ia gostar tanto.
Ia um bocado a medo e optei por utilizar uma versão da ilustração que fiz para o meu cartão pessoal (isto lembra-me que ainda não fiz um post sobre esse assunto).
Deste dia resultou uma vontade enorme de investir em material (Pai Natal, se estás a ouvir isto, toma atenção) e uma série de 15 serigrafias.
Quando cheguei a casa com elas debaixo do braço, espalhei-as pela sala e reparei que, por coincidência, as cores que utilizei eram bastante natalícias: vermelho, verde e dourado.
Esta série está longe de ser perfeita, mas é minha e foi a primeira e por isso tem para mim um valor super especial.
Tão especial que achei que era triste ficarem fechadas no escritório e foi por isso que decidi sortear 3 delas pelas pessoas que têm seguido o meu trabalho nos últimos tempos. Sim, não é só uma, são três, uma de cada uma das cores que usei.
Sou tão novata nestas coisas que me esqueci de as assinar antes das fotos, mas todas vão ser numeradas e assinadas e com sorte vão fazer alguém feliz.
O sorteio é o normal da Era facebook:

1º convém que gostem da somebodyelsa no facebook
2º partilham de forma pública o post do concurso;
3º peçam uma cunha ao Pai Natal.





Não sei se se percebe bem pelas fotos mas os três exemplares foram feitos em papeis diferentes:
No vermelho o papel é mais esbranquiçado, no dourando usei cartolina cinzenta e o verde foi feito num papel amarelado.

Espero que gostem e participem.


This is a post about this silkscreen workshop I took two weeks ago. I loved it! So much that I'm actually considering buying the materials to start doing it more regularly.
From this workshop I ended up with a series of 15 silkscreens. My first silkscreens! They are not perfect but I like them a lot and I thought it would be sad to just keep them stored so I decided to have a little giveaway of three of them (red, gold and green).
Now, the reason this post is not translated is because this is a national giveaway, sorry. Maybe next time?
