I've been away too long but I'm back! Let me tell you what I've been doing...<br />
<br />
I had a client who contacted me to create a replica of her bouquet. She had a destination wedding last year and wanted to keep her bouquet but because her flowers couldn't last enough to be preserved she had to thrown it away. (a heartbreaking moment!!)<br />
<br />
So she asked me if I could recreate some of the flowers to be part of a shadowbox. After sending me some pictures of her beautiful bouquet I started making a replica of it, which consists of two tone red roses, orange roses, yellow calla lilies and some fillers as hypericum berries. The two tone roses were created using a new techniques to achieve this amazingly real look! <br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of the two tone roses and of the arrangement:<br />

Spring is here! And I cannot feel more inspired by just seing all the
beautiful colors of the blooming flowers, feeling the spring breeze and enjoying a beautiful
sunny and warm day! Spring is one of my favorite seasons! I think after a long and white winter you really appreciate more the colors of Spring.</o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: small;">
<u1:p></u1:p>
<br />
So, last week while doing some shopping at the grocery store, some beautiful red tulips caught my attention. The color was so vivid that inspired me to create the same flower. Back home, I started dying my cold porcelain paste, and after various attempts (really various!) I achieved the same vivid red of the tulip I saw :) (hooray for me!). For the ones you are not familiarized on dying cold porcelain, there are some colors (like browns and reds) that are hard to achieve. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: small;">Also I made some white tulips with red hints. Here are the pictures of my cold porcelain tulips:<br />

Did you know that tulips have different meanings like love, purity,
innocence but also symbolize a new beginning? Tulips will add a lot of meaning
to your wedding and if you are looking for a special gift, tulips will be a
great way to express admiration and love.<o:p></o:p><br />

This past week I've been working on a custom order for a very nice client. She asked me if she could buy single flowers. She needed two miniature hydrangeas and a single pink flower. <br />

<br />
Knowing the dimensions and colors I can create almost anything :) So I started working on the 2 inches mini flowers. I made a white one and a pink one with yellow hints, they looked lovely!<br />
Creating mini flowers take a lot of patience and detail, but the finished flower is a stunning piece of art!<br />

I've been working on wedding bouquets and a cake topper for a wedding. <br />
My<a href="http://coldporcelainart.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-is-cold-porcelain.html" target="_blank"> cold porcelain</a> flowers bouquets are a favorite among brides who love to keep their bouquet as a keepsake and I can not agree more! It will bring beautiful memories of her special day for life!! Another reason why brides choose cold porcelain bouquets is that brides love flowers that are off season or can not be found locally. With cold porcelain is easy to create any flower in any color, shape and size. Here are some of my cold porcelain bouquets:<br />

<br />
<br />
The cake topper that I've been working on is a beautiful peony with dogwood flowers around it and cherry blossoms. This cake topper was a favorite for the brides-to-be at one of the Bridal Shows I participated. Well, one of the brides contacted me to recreate the same cake topper for her wedding this coming April. She requested the same size with extra peonies for side decorations. <br />

Succulents are also called organic beauties and they are becoming more and more popular not only for weddings but also for decorations like centerpieces.<br />
So recently I met a baker and she asked me to create some succulent flowers to decorate a cake she has planned to put on a window on her shop. So I stopped at my local floral store and saw a variety of them, but there was one in particular that stunned me! I came home and started to work on my first succulent flower. To be honest, the first one did not look like a succulent at all! So the second try came out better, working more on the edges and then finishing with a touch of color. Here are the pictures:<br />

</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">This summer has been very
busy and fun for me, orders for weddings are -by far- what I have been working
on the most. But a few weeks ago something new and exciting came with an order
request... and that was for the flowers to be shipped to Australia!!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">So YES, it is now official,
Cold Porcelain Art is now international! </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><o:p></o:p><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">You see, when I started
this blog, my first posting titled “Blogging World… Here I come!” talked about
how I never imagined being blogging. Well, after just over a year, and
incorporating Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Etsy into the mix, you
can probably understand why I consider this to be a milestone. Online “global
reach” has a new and real meaning to me!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">This client’s request was to
create red and pink poppies, green hydrangeas, white gardenias and white dogwood
flowers. I had so much fun creating them, specially the red/black contrast
obtained with the poppies, definitely an eye catcher! Here is a picture of the red
poppy and white gardenias.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

single green orchid to put on a place card for a 16th birthday party. So I created
green cymbidium orchid with hints of pale light green in the center petals and
with a pink color highlighting the edges. The throat has pink dots on sides’
scallops and lines on the middle scallop. She really liked so she ordered 6
more. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

My answer: my passion is to achieve realism with cold porcelain.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">But what is cold porcelain? </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Called Cold Porcelain mainly because the compounds don’t require being heated or baked like traditional porcelain as it air-dries. Its characteristics provide a smooth and extremely malleable texture that can be sculpted into any shape you can imagine and then air-dried; allowing artists to design and replicate nature with amazing lifelike detail.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Other great advantages of Cold Porcelain are that it is very durable, light-weight, and it can be colored, texturized and easily combined with many kinds of materials, therefore achieving realistic and beautiful details with smooth finishes like no other clay.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cold Porcelain enables fine art that with the right care can last a lifetime.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/85505515/spring-roses-topiary-cold-porcelain-art" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" hda="true" height="273px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiz5NZMAwdweR_yxKCvjAFz22n8YSffqejC42li_kprEessy7djyfN2MmJIL7h8ZnarKZ5xVfgNOP5rD5CiYaRletATUd_kWOZvIbQEMqzMDdz-bD-bvkYPO7WaY7POuzhmycH1D1-MC5a/s320/CPA+Topiary+-+Spring+Roses+Tree+1.jpg" width="320px" /></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What does cold porcelain mean to me?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">My passion! It all started several years ago in Bolivia, where I am from and where for the past few decades this art has evolved into precise methods that taught me from how to prepare my own Cold Porcelain clay to mastering many different techniques of working with it.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I fell in love with Cold Porcelain and the art of replicating flowers at my first training class, since then I have not stopped creating lifelike floral arrangements and learning new techniques that take full advantage of the versatility that Cold Porcelain clay allows.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is through this art of modeling and <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">uniqueness</span> of Cold Porcelain that I can fully express my passion and admiration for nature.</span></span></div>Cold Porcelain Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02395614973781185673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2371119304634657628.post-50264460387734338252011-10-13T19:28:00.014-05:002011-11-20T19:20:27.086-06:00Thanks Des Moines!<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Shows, shows, and more shows!!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another important step for Cold Porcelain Art is that now a mobile version site is available. Yeah! Thanks so much to my hubby who built a great site, helping my customers access my shop from their phones and ipads. Since it went live just a couple of weeks ago the traffic has been a success! I knew that a mobile site is pretty much a must nowadays, what I did not know is that there are so many brides-to-be (and wedding planers :D) on the go. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">And the last one is that I am preparing for my next Bridal Show, so stay tuned for the event details…</span>Cold Porcelain Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02395614973781185673noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2371119304634657628.post-847741192663650502011-07-31T22:12:00.000-05:002011-07-31T22:12:57.665-05:00Exciting News: Etsy Shop now OPEN!<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">I am so excited to announce that my Etsy Shop, Cold Porcelain Art, is now open for business!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Since Sunday is Mother’s Day I want to dedicate this post to my Mom, my inspiration. That’s why I chose her favorite flower which stands for nobility, perseverance and love for nature. Magnolia flowers also symbolize feminine sweetness and beauty. In addition, magnolia flowers reflect tenacity…all the virtues that define my Mom!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The magnolia flower inspires beauty and adds a unique touch of elegance to a wedding. With this in mind is that one of my most recent brides-to-be chose The Magnolia Collection (pictures below); she was delighted with the flowers and the colors, and I was extremely motivated creating these floral arrangements. The bouquet is a cascade of magnolias with ivy leaves which symbolize strong and lasting unification. The wedding cake topper consisted of three large magnolia flowers that took center stage accompanied by a smaller one. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wishing all the Moms a Happy Mother’s Day!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">And to you Mom: Thank you for planting this special seed in my heart that gave me the passion for this Art!
