I was falling asleep listening to the beautiful music of polish composer Zbigniew Preisner for the movie "La Double Vie de Veronique." The music is almost disturbing in its beauty.
La Double Vie de Veronique happens to be one of my favorite movies of all times. It tells the tale of two women, who look the same, who feel the existence of each other, but live in two different parts of the world.
And how nostalgic it is to call this series "les marionettes", because my favorite song growing up was a song named "les marionnettes." The song is from 1965 and sang by a french singer named Christophe. I would make by dad rewind the cassette tape (remember those?) over and over again and would never get tired of it.
I have so many new ideas and projects for 2013. I can hardly wait to start them all!

Wonderful memory to share with us. I love your Marionettes, and how happy you sound for your new projects. That is definitely a contagious thing!!
nice art
Stamping has clearly inspired you! Love the marionettes!
WOW!!!!!!!
I LOVE these!!!!!
What a great way to express your love for this music!!
What is the composition of the blocks you use for carving? When I leared linoleum block printing some years ago, it was indeed linoleum on wooden blocks. This looks more like soap stone...

fun!

You're so creative, Ana. I love these. When I get what I think might be a good idea, I forget it instantly!
These are fantastic! The music truly was an inspiration! I still have more cassettes than I can count.....
These are so beautiful, Ana - I especially love the second one because it reminds of my daughter (who dances). It's amazing how dreams can inspire us creatively - you have me curious about this music, so now I must go look it up! :)
Really love these! You are so creative and inspiring :)
Beautiful marionettes, Ana! I love when you show your carvings...still in love with the red and blue elephants...
Lovely story, Ana! I am sure the stamps are the beginning of a great collection.
I love how you did a tutorial without all the explaining - your photos were perfect! I had never thought of making a stamp from soft wood - you make it look so quick and easy. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely post, the stamps are so pretty. Have a nice week Ana xx
What a beautiful movie! Thanks for sharing, Ana! You can watch the whole thing on Youtube (without subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goTRivxWeIU
You are wonderfully creative! Love these marionettes. Looks like there are a lot of exciting things waiting for you in 2013. I hope you share some of your art with us!
Oh so beautiful. I can see that your muse is bringing you some awesome gifts.
Beautiful stamps. I am so looking forward to doing this. Soon, I think, actually.
I have an idea of something I would like to do. So still inspired by this!
Music is a great muse. Your new stamps are great. I'll have to check out that movie.
Why do women fall asleep during movies? xo
So charming and such a wonderful way to greet the new year!
Those are gorgeous! I wish I had your talent.
Your creativity and the inspiration I get from it...it's almost like you're sharing your muse with me/us. Amazing stamps and artwork and once again, thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see more of your ideas come to life.
Great work!
So much fun!

i love your new homemade stamps!! and the story that goes along with this is wonderful! i love hearing a story of a child who loves something so mature, creative, and inspiring....
Your stamp creations are great as your stories. Have a good day my dear and keep creating those wonderful stamps.xoxo
Fantastic effect with these! We were just watching Mirror, Mirror yesterday with the kids and there is a whole scene with marionettes - so clever the way they did that scene. Actually a great take on an old story
We meet again...
One of your butterflies flew my way...
Wonderful stamp carving and I like how you made them into puppets.
Shall we chat on my Chat page? Perhaps, you might have a question...? Do you know the significance of room 287?
Your carved stamps are very creative and I love the way you have turned the figures into marionettes. Thank you for the inspiration. And for visiting my blog. Holiday Bliss...

That's fine. By the way, the hotel room 287 was at L'Horset Pavillon in a quiet street at 36 Rue de l'Échiquier, Paris, Île-de-France, France. It is now the Provinces Opera Hotel. If you want to, Ana (and only if you want to), you can add yourself to my Guestbook with your website address if you wish or not. Anyway, have a good evening. :-)
wait. what? you make your own stamps? wow, is there anything artsy that you don't do :)
