I have been tagged!

I was surprise to see that two wonderful ladies tagged me, Lora Hart and Sandra (Marbella Designs.) I will do my best to answer the questions .
What is your current obsession ?
Making jewelry and finding the right firing for my pieces in copprclay!!!!
What is your weirdest obsession ?
Washing my hands A LOT! I can not have my hands dirty, can you imagine when I work with metal clay?? At the beginning I was not enjoying to work with the clay, I had to wash my hands a lot, now I am getting use to have my fingers with clay ;-} but when I cook....That is another story. Wash , wash, wash my hands!
What would you eat for your last meal ?
Hmmmmm that is difficult to choose. I will ask for my grandma's bean and rice soup, it is simple but so good!!!!! I will also ask for my grandma's Rice lasagna, this is heaven!!!!! For dessert, a Tres Leches cake made by my GRANDMA! I love my grandma's food and her a lot!
What are you wearing Today?
I have black sandals with a red dress that has little black leaves. Big gold arracadas (earrings) and a necklace I made with my bronzclay mask and turquoise.
What is the last thing you bought ?
I got a pair of earrings from a great German jeweler Agnes Seabass that I met three days ago and a dress in a smaller size! I am losing weight! ;-}

MANA, a Mexican rock band, and LOS NOCHEROS, a folklore group from Argentina.

Strawberry with real strawberries mixed in it! Yum!!! I also like water made Lime.

Lora Hart and Sandra from Marbella designs have great personalities, even though I do not know them in person, I can really know they are great ladies. I love their work and respect them a lot.
If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be ?
Can I have one in Argentina, one in Mexico and one in Santa Fe?????? LOL
Difficult to choose, but anywhere If I am with my kids and husband will be great!
If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go ?
Argentina, I will go to Buenos Aires to see my husband's family, I'll love to see my father and mother in law when they meet my daughter Veronica for the first time and Christian who they last saw when he was 3 years old, he is 11 now.
What is your favorite color ?
Red, Mexican blue ;-} and orange. I like all the colors but if they are bright better.
What language would you like to learn ?
I will like to go back to French, I had French as my minor in UTEP but I did not put it on practice and I think I lost it!!!!! I like Italian too.
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your wardrobe ?
A red dress with little black leaves, LOL. I have it on as much as I can. In Mexico we have a saying when you have your "YAQUI" piece of clothing , this red dress is my "YAQUI" piece.

If you can change something in the world to make it a better place, what would that be ?
TOLERANCE!!!!! Our world will be such a better place if we all can be more open and friendly to everybody.

  2. Funny, I just had a tag similar to this one, but not as involved! It's fun to read all the details though, so I will do it when I return from Europe. I leave for London tomorrow!!

  3. I really enjoyed reading your answers. I will do it this week Lorena. Thank you for tagging me.

    Also, I think you have a very nice blog and I love all the pictures of your work. You are so careful. Sorry your things broke. You will figure it out, I know. Patrik Kusek told us today at our guild meeting that he fires the Copprclay at 1770° for 3 hours now. Did you do that? I haven't done it yet but I just heard this for the first time today so I thought I would tell you.

    Lucky Vickie, going to London!

    later,
    Catherine

  5. I loooove Gaudi! That's the real reason I'm dying to go to Spain. And Botrero goes without saying. We have lots in common. And I'd love the recipe for the rice lasagna. I don't eat wheat and have been missing regular noodles.

  6. Dear Lora,
    YES we do have a lot of things in common ;-}. I am also dying to go to Spain and see Gaudi's work.
    About the rice lasagna, we do not use rice pasta, we use rice. You add one layer of rice, one of corn, one of calabaza, one of cream cheese blended with poblano peppers, etc, etc.
    It is very good!
