My 3 Original questions for everyone to answer:

1. If you describe or picture your inner soul how will you describe it?

My soul is deep blue I don’t know why but if I have to imagine what color is I see it in all the shades of blue. My soul is very receptive and absorbing a lot from the outside. Is very balanced but sometimes can have some great picks on things I like and love. My soul has perseverance and takes challenges I am always been thinking “if you don’t try you never know!” I refer this quote to my Art and creativity! My soul fight for what I believe in. My soul wouldn’t ever tried things that would harm myself in a negative way. My soul is encouraging and positive to others and myself.

2. What are you working on right now?

Right now I am working mainly on my Jewelry Collection on custom orders and non! I am trying to promote my creations and online stores as I want to share them with the world. I am also working on designs for other future projects I have in mind. I always keep sketching and I take notes of any kind of creative idea pops in my mind. I also took a break for a while from watercolor painting and I would like to go back on it soon! In the main time instead painting I am more working on Digital Art who I love. There are so many things that my creativity lead me to want do that I feel like I don’t have enough time during the day!

3. What is your creative dream project?

My Dream Project it is a real dream! One day I would love to be able to have my own Atelier Studio Gallery in a nice place, where I can work, display and sell all my creations of every kind together. This magical place will reflect my Art and taste in everything from the interiors to the products I design extends to Fashion, Jewelry, Art and Interiors it would be so magical what I have in mind…for now my Atelier is virtually here on YesterdayAfter taking shape day after day… the future? Who knows never say never… 🙂

Erika 3 new questions:

  1. Who has been the starlight in your life?
    Beside my family, my starlight in my life has been always “my heart” I did follow my heart in any situation.

  2. What is your biggest dream and how are you working on its realization?
    My big dream?  You can read all about it on my original answer #3 here above 🙂

  3. What do you want to leave here on earth?
    I would like to live a good mark of my journey here on earth and that who would be left would always remember me for kindness, generosity,  for help and make others happy,  and because I was able to inspire souls throughout my Art and my smile 🙂
