Today is the very last day of Giveaway Week! Winners will be announced all next week, so make sure you enter into all of these great giveaways before they close!

*the {twiggs} watermark will not appear on your original piece

Description: Hello, this is twiggs and i shall present you these sweet moments in a girl’s kitchen. things are not always beautiful & organized, but when baking a cupcake…. why not gather all the delicious ingredients and let them have the huge importance they have even before baking time? And because we know that we must not eat just sweets… a little bit of fruit is quite healthy. and these sweet & dark cherries just were up to their role… joining doilies for makeup… here they are in a very delicious style!
Materials: a little bit of magic and light!
Dimensions: these sweet moments are all in 5×7
Retail value: each of these are worth $17… so you have yourself a kitchen duet for free, specially for you!

I asked twiggs to answer a few questions about herself and her work, and every one of her answers put a smile on my face. Details on how to enter the giveaway follow the interview.

Tell us a little bit about yourself: 
i am an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life… still, want to be able to express myself through photography & illustration. i write on {…a place for twiggs}…

take me with you

… because i love to meet people from all over the world
… because i want to spread the word on talented artists

And a little about the items you sell: 
loving photography i have discovered that a little camera can change your daily life… for the simple fact (and this will sound like a clichet) that you explore the world through a more creative eye… you find beauty in random details… you open your eyes… for real. and selling my prints… is a way of sharing that beauty with others.

What is your creative process and environment like? (for example: Are you a rigid planner or do you wing it? Do you work to music or silence? Messy or neat?)
being a “photographer”, i really must do it with the wind… i always (and this is a real “always”) have my camera with me… would have also my lomo camera with me, if it wasn’t that big, but i am always prepared. however, the processing moment has to be felt… sometimes i try to make something out of a picture and i do not feel i can do it in that moment. so i just stop… inspiration will come. and when it does… it feels like you just found gold in your little exploration. your eyes sparkle & think “this is it… i love it!”

When you’re not creating, what do you do?  i am a training director in an health company, and graduated pshycologist.

the red balloons

Quick! What is your favorite: 
Cookie: chocolate
Sappy love song: maybe john legend
T-shirt: white one…
Nail polish color: something between red & orange in the summer… pale pink in the winter… so classic 🙂
Vegetable: tomatoes (when these count as a vegetable!)… ok, ok, lettuce… always in various kinds… i could eat them every day!
