Ana Bondu Workshop in Madrid


 I had the pleasure of attending Ana Bondu´s workshops at Komola Krafts in Madrid. It was a weekend full of techniques, colors, paints, inks, wonderful people and lots of fun.
Tuve el placer de asistir a los talleres de Ana Bondu en Komola Krafts, en Madrid. Fue un fin de semana lleno de técnicas, colores, pinturas, tintas, gente maravillosa y mucha diversión.


Ana demonstrated different ways of using the Gelli Plate with paints and inks, masks and textured materials. Then we worked with Brushos and different techniques on how to get the most out of them. We spent the whole day on Saturday trying everything out, so we made hundreds of gorgeous backgrounds.
Ana hizo demostraciones de diferentes formas de usar la Gelli Plate con pinturas, tintas, stencils, y materiales con texturas. Luego trabajamos con Brushos y diferentes técnicas para sacarles el mejor provecho. Pasamos el sábado entero probando todo, así que hicimos cientos de fondos espectaculares.


On Sunday we worked on a beautiful book made from scratch, we put in practice many of the techniques we worked on the previous day plus a few more ideas she gave us on the way.
El domingo trabajamos en un libro que hicimos desde cero, pusimos en práctica muchas de las técnicas que habíamos trabajado el día anterior más unas ideas que ella nos fue dando durante el día.

The girls at Komola were wonderful, everything was perfectly set for us to work comfortably and in a cosy environment, and with delicious meals and snacks...and of course coffee at all times. Thank you girls!
Las chicas de Komola fueron maravillosas, todo estuvo preparado perfectamente para trabajar cómodas y en un ambiente muy agradable, y con comidas y meriendas muy ricas...y por supuesto, cafecito a toda hora ¡Gracias chicas!

Altered Notebooks

 This year I wanted to repeat the idea I had last year for a little something for the teachers. I made them personalized notebooks with their names on the front cover. I have a mixture of techniques I learnt with Dina Wakley, Nathalie Kalbach and Cuchy, I really liked all they shared with us at the workshops and couldn't resist to use a bit of everything.
Este año quería repetir la idea que tuve el año pasado para el detalle que siempre le hago a las profes. Les hice unos cuadernos personalizados con su nombre en la portada. Tengo una mezcla de técnicas que he aprendido con Dina Wakley, Nathalie Kalbach y Cuchy, me gustó muchísimo todo lo que ellas compartieron con nosotras en los talleres, así que no me pude resistir a usar un poquito de cada cosa.

 They loved their notebooks, that makes me happy!
A ellas les encantó su cuaderno,y eso me hace feliz!

I decorated some of the pages.

Cute notebook for a gift


The end of the school year is coming veeeery soon, and I wanted to make something special to give to my kids' teachers. They have been great in helping them to settle and fit in this new school.

I made this book for them (I'm only showing one)

I bought the notebooks on sale, I decorated the front and back, added their names to personalize them and decorated some pages inside with some cute stamps.

Now I just need to make a cute matching box to make it perfect...I hope none of the teachers follow this blog, otherwise I spoiled the surprise...LOL

Stamps: The {stamps} of life, Thanks2You set

Papers: DCWV Old world stack.
