Tropical Fusion Blog Hop….Have a visit

Hello and welcome to the Tropical Fusion BlogHop.

Over 40 designers are designing within a tropical theme and are incorporating Radiant Orchid, the 2014 Pantone color of the year in their mini collection.
The hop will run for 4 days.

You are probably stopping in from Jolene Heckman's lovely blog.

If you want to start at the beginning of the hop please visit Mary Tanana's blog called Groovity.

My name is Deborah Velásquez. I am an artist-designer with a passion for creating art.
I work both traditionally and digitally.
I have a love for painting, printmaking and silk screening.

The mix of design, words and crafts light me up. Some of my favorite things are, coffee, magazines, art books, a sharpie and a sketchbook.

I am a licensed artist with The World Art Group and I have Just been named the First place winner of The Carpet Vista 2013 Competition out of Malmö, Sweden, My rug designs will be available late January 2014

Here is the start of my design process after a bit of research.
Some sketching and some motif painting.

I then prepare my blocks by cutting out my design. I do a few test prints in order to check my line work.

I love the surprise of relief printing .

I like to mix printing and painting in the same piece of work.

I make Word Art and I thought it might be nice to include this

Thank you for stopping by.

You can now hop over to Jennifer Rogers blog and see how she was inspired by the Tropical theme and Radiant Orchid.

Word Path • Back to the The Basics and Conversations with Friends

____________________________

My desk just bursting with love! As I have mentioned before I am in show mode. I am creating not just flowers but words, words and more words.
_______________________________

Everyone has a word path. One word leads to another.

Word Paths have been a Friday feature showcasing possibilities in written words, creative process and artistic pieces from the beginning of my blog You can go here, to my first post on this project and see how it all started.

___________________________________________________________

Here is My Word Path for Today

Three simple words that say and give so much

The word love has been the topic of conversation these past few days with two of my favorite people to bounce ideas off of, Jewel and Kerry. My two friends both happen to be writers and creative spirits.

Why Love?
Why does it pop into mind and onto Word Paths so often?

When I think about Love, I think about:
what it is?
how does it feel?
what has it been at different times in life?
what has it been at different ages and stages of life?

Doesn't everyone think about what could have been?
what was?
what is?
what it should be?
what they hope it will be?

ummmmm.....

We talked about how you are surrounded by love at all times. Love is endless space.
That was a good one Jewel!

So what is the scope of your love?
I love this question, thanks Kerry.

I will play with this question in an exercise called automatic writing, suggested by Jewel.

Here is my first one : The scope of your love fills my embrace

My favorite from our conversations....
Love is when your child blows you a kiss and you catch it and put in your heart forever.

Happy Weekend • Say I Love You • Enjoy the Language of Words

Thank you for stopping by.

This vintage album was a gift from my friend Jewel!
