May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond. ~Irish Blessing~
I loved to discover this Irish Blessing the words are so beautiful to frame my Digital Artwork. The Butterflies Symbolism means a lot in my life that I have a tattoo representing them. I had this tattoo some years ago while going through a very difficult stage of my life were needed transformation and changes.
My Tattoo
Butterflies are a wonderful way to connect our Soul with the Nature.
In the Animals Symbolism they means Transformation and Metamorphosis, their stages of transformation can be related with our life stages and phases. The way we change, and grow through life experiences, being able to renew our inner soul and letting go the old to welcome the new changes. The butterfly metamorphosis can teach us that growth and change, goes together and doesn’t have to be a traumatic passage and experience our constant in life is that we are always evolving and that we have to keep faith to be able to blossom in our final transformation. Butterflies are also associated with freedom, grace, elegance, beauty, transition, expression, growth and more… I just love them and the life lesson they can teach us!

YesterdayAfter Original Questions:
(Never change them!)
1. If you describe or picture your inner soul how will you describe it?
“These are My Answers”
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 this year 2015 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 to do that I feel like I don’t have enough time during the day!
Update 2019 as today my Watercolor Painting is my primary focus, it is my life and daily work as a full-time independent Artist and Illustrator! Still creating Jewelry designs too! <3)
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 my paintings, 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?

I have accepted all of them of course, but I had not time yet to complete my acceptance for “The Creative Blogger” and “Liebster blog Award” I will soon!
During the past days I have been working on several Artistic projects beside focusing on this Blog!
I have been working on Photography, Digital Art, new sketches and my Jewelry, bringing to life a new design “Hoops earrings” I like hoops I wear them all the time and I love how this design turned out they looks amazing on!
This design feature a large Silver wired, hammered and forged hoops having a charm made with natural powerful gemstones I used Amazonite, Red Coral, and faceted Crystal. I love the combination of colors of these three gemstones and their great meanings.
Amazonite takes the name from the Amazon river it is the stone of Courage and Truth. This gemstone it is used in Jewelry from way long time since the Mesopotamian Cultures. The wonderful light blue-green color remind the water it is soothing and calming for the soul. Emits powers of strong energy. Was often used as talisman for protection. This beautiful stone is believed to be used from the mythical Tribe of the courageous and strong Amazonian women warriors. Red Coral the beautiful Red Coral gemstone symbolize Life and bring messages of peace within self, emits positive energy and protection. Crystal there is an interesting message for clear crystals and it is that Clear Crystal has the property to amplifier the powers of other gemstones combined with it, in this case it will empower more the Amazonite and Coral.
I named the hoop earrings “Life of Courage and Truth”
