Deep breath, TRY AGAIN!
Paola is 11 years old and love drawing, painting, cutting, creating stories, inventing games, and making sculptures.
When she grow up, she wants to be an artist. She wants to study at university and learn everything her teachers teach her to fulfill her dreams.
Paola´s world is the name of her online magazine. I started to see her creativity when she was in Kindergarten, but I never saved her little works. Since 2021, I saved everything to show the world the works she does in my free time. She also like gymnastics. She was part of the Elementary School cheerleading team for 3 consecutive years.
She loves watching Dance Moms in her free time. Every time she watches the show, she tries to do the same thing as the participants.
Paola say: My sisters and I would like to have a pet, but my mom says it´s a big responsibility, and it involves extra financial expense that we can´t afford, so we should wait. I would love to have a cat.
Her logo is a cat, because she love cats. First, she made it on paper, painted it, and then I made it digital.
I will show you some of my work. Follow me
I created her first online magazine because I didn't want to hear complaints again about why I didn´t save her kindergarten work. That's when I understood that her works of art were very important to her. So, I told her that whenever she wants to see her work and remember what she used to do, she just has to open her online magazine.
Model Magic - Crayola, helped me develop my artistic skills. I learned to model during my vacations and free time in 2022 and 2023. In Sculptures Magazine - Part 1, you can see more than 30 sculptures.
In Sculptures Magazine - Part 2, there are over 30 sculptures I made during my vacations and free time in 2023 and 2024.
Molding with Model Magic - Crayola is much easier than Air Dry Clay - Crayola. If you like making sculptures, I recommend starting with Model Magic and when you have more skill in your hands, start working with Air Dry Clay.
Sculptures Magazine
I don't know who she inherited that talent for sculpting from, but ever since I saw her skill, I've simply started buying more Model Magic by Crayola so she can keep practicing, and the results are extraordinary. Although it's an extra expense to buy Model Magic and often takes time to clean the house, for now I'm not worried, because I know that at some point she'll have her own studio, and that will be different.
I love Jellycat because I created my collection with Model Magic - Crayola.
Modeling Clay
She is growing up and continues to experiment with new tools to make her sculptures. If there's one thing I keep learning about motherhood, it's that I'm just a tool to help them continue discovering the things they're passionate about. I don't know who learns more, me from them or them from me. But here we go, without stopping, on this long road the motherhood.
Exploring the Digital World
If she can draw and color on paper, probably, she can make a digital drawing. So, we invested in a Google Pixel Tablet and her pencil to see if she liked it. After showing me his first digital drawing of little monsters, I asked him if he could illustrate my recycling stories, and she said yes. And this is the result.
