Talking about Sarah Jessica Parker




Here is my new creation, a corset in purple lace look,size 34B. I painted the roses all over it in shiny purple,lavander and hot pink.It has adjustable straps to make it fit perfect. Fashionably in style! You can wear it for outfit or inside lingerie. It's up to you. Show it!
Pictures were taken inside and outside to display how it looks under different light. If you need it in another size or color, I will make it for you. Just it won't be exactly the same. I try to keep all my designs as unique as possible. I love to make custom orders!
Just contact me at

Laura's house of art.





Saturday night, my friend Laura organized dinner at her house featuring a whole arab theme and when I said arab I meant ALL ARAB! She prepared arab foods,some dishes that I never tried in my life like KEBAB? it's that the right name? Maybe someone can correct me and other names that I don't really remember. But essencially for an artist what it really catched my attention was her art: arab paintings all over the house.Actually one of the rooms is completely arab: paintings,furniture,decorations and everything you can imagine. It was a wonderful display of art and creativity and also seeing her very good taste,neatness and passion for what he does. So this is to you Laura ,cheers!

Oh when the peacock go marching in!


I learned this song when I was very young.I heard it for the first time in spanish at the baptist church and I love it! The message is so great and powerful and best of all talks about the future. Aren't you interested in the future?
Let's go back to the peacock.Another young lady from church asked me for a custom order of a peacock painted in the back of a plus size dress.It looks very good right?

Saturday Night MAG


MAG is the name of the Etsy Miami based team shared by many etsian creatives and crafters. I'm so glad I met this girls personally. You know how is the internet, very useful, but so cold. Everything is virtual, no skin, no words, no emotion.
On the contrary at this meeting I felt alive, I drove into those fashion artistic and modern stores and streets that make Miami a gorgeous center for the arts. Galleries, Cooperatives,Small stores,Traditional spaces,Tropical lanscapes,Typical art deco buildings, Turistic center and Wonderful human beings. I wanted to take the chance to show you all but I have space for one and only picture so I choose Churchill's Pub Front , where we met. Featured: my husband , my driver and my love: Mano.

Show some skin...


It seems like summer is t-shirt time. I had 2 request from 2 different groups about t-shirt designs. I know whats happening, you want to show! Summer is exposure so, keep it rolling, show what you got , show me what you want to say.Who are you? What you do? I love this people who represent themselves with big bold letters on black t-shirts. My son has one that says in big bold letters: Global Warming is nothing next to Eternal Burning. Wow! Touchy! I show you in this picture a new design for a christian ballet team that I'm proud to feature(My sister dance there) . They are commited to dance to the Lord and they are not ashamed to say it. I'm planning on making another design full colored, but this one looks good even in the chubby ones!
