Reading Habits

My reading habits have declined quite a bit over the years.

In school my mom read the books to me until I was like 11, so I had a hard time encouraging myself to read on my own but I never did that bad on the book tests.

By the time I got out of high school I was able to choose my books.  I was a Monster High fan so I had all their books, but the first book that totally got me was "Asylum" by Madeline Roux. My mom bought it for me in Bariloche, for a study trip. I was captivated by his photographs, many of them were edited, but they looked very realistic, like a "found footage" movie. It is a 7 books saga (4 books and 3 smaller books which contains additional information). Madeleine is my favorite author, and the best thing is that I have 3 of these books autographed by her.



The last book I read was "cuando temblamos" which is about 6 stories that take place in Patagonia. In general it is like a psychological triller because all the characters have very strange things happening to them that couldn't be explained, so it is implied that they hallucinate because of fear.

It took me a long time to read it due to lack of time, but also because sometimes the stories took a while to become interesting and I was quite confused not knowing if the character was hallucinating or if it was really something paranormal what was happening.

    It looks like an interesting book. I would like to get into the habit of reading. I think if you read a psychological thriller, your imagination did this in a creative way and this scares me ahhaha.

Unforgettable memories

Imagen
  When I hear the songs of Mazapán and Cachureos. It takes me back to the moments when my mother sang to me or when I was brushing my teeth to the rhythm of "lávate los dientes" I've always love holidays, especially Christmas and Halloween. I can almost remember what I did on all of those dates. I remember the Christmas when I got my first bicycle. I was about 6 years old and remember that i imagined the I saw Santa clos in the sky (really a child's imagination is very vivid). And To this day there is not a single Halloween that I don't spend with my childhood friend, we have always loved to dress up, go out trick-or-treating and watch horror movies. It has become a tradition to get together to eat and watch movies. I learned to swim un a poll when I was a little girl (in fact it was almost by instinct). Although I still have memories of those moments when I almost got drowned haha. I've always loved playing in the street. I used to play with younger kids and ...

A Journey to the Past

If there was a possibility to travel in time it would be to the past. I couldn't specify a date but it would be around the XI-XV century and I'd like to travel through several countries, but specifically Europe and Asia. Because I've always been very interested in their mythological creatures.  For example. When we talk about centaurs we have the idea that they were born from the imagination of the natives when they saw others people riding horse. The unicorns on the other hand are said to be narwhals and I'd seen illustrations of "hippocampus", which were horses with fins. But curiously, there were horses with a protuberance on the head, although it was not very big. What would it be like in the case of dragons? What kind of animal could have inspired this? Many of these beings have in common that they are seen in more than one culture, such as the European dragon that was more similar to a dinosaur with wings versus the Asian dragon that was more similar to ...

My future job

Imagen
  I'm currently studying 4th year of plastic arts at Universidad de Chile. I was supposed to get a specialization in goldsmithing if I did the thesis next year, but I decided not to do it to devote myself to what I am good at. To I decided to become a fursuitmaker. Besides I don't want to continue studying or do a master. I think I will only pay the sewing courses, epoxy resin work and 3D modeling. I have made the decision to dedicate myself to fursuits making, to live from cons and commissions. basically to be independent. It is not just something I see in the future, since it is a decision already taken and to which I already dedicate myself but in less time, next year this will be full time. For the cons I will make animal ears and tails, some keychains, maybe embroidery and also plan to bring some furhead as an exhibition.  I know it will be hard work but I'm very anxious to start with this project of opening my online store. I don't know how much I will travel, bec...
