Stimulate your senses
Welcome to my new blog/newsletter series called The Sensorialist! I plan to share some of my work and also things that have been stimulating my senses. In the hopes that you can enjoy them too!
Today, I'm bringing you three obsessions that have been adding a little spark to my life lately.
1. Photo Embroidery: I’ve been wanting to hand embroider my photos for a while. Since it was the first time embroidering one of my photos, it was important to me to play and experiment and not to think too much about the end product. I decided pick one photo from my Cholitas Bravas photo series (more soon!) and use different mediums like paper and fabric to see which one I liked the most. Turns out I like both! Each made me do different things.

2. "Martha, a picture story": A documentary about Martha Cooper. A NY street photographer that loves taking photos of Graffiti and people's daily lives. My favorite scene is when she's getting ready for a graffiti photo adventure at 75 years old! Warning: You're going to fall in love with her. Watch it on Apple TV.
3. Siete Mexican Wedding Cookies: As a good Taurus, I'll probably be sharing lots of delicious stuff I encounter. These cookies are a blend of almond flour, powdered sugar and cinnamon. You know it's good when your eyes roll back and your shoulders start to shimmy. Get them here. PS: not sponsored, only my palate sponsors it :)
