Hello, Thank you for wanting to know more about me! I am really flattern. My name is Maria Jose. I am a full-time freelance designer, crafter, dreamer, web-designer, blogger and wife! I am totally in love with all that I do. I am founder of a great Etsy Team " Treasure Lover " . Proudly I design my own characters, cards, jewelry and Toys. I love Draw, paint, cook and Eat pasta ... and watch movies. Background: Each one of my pieces is professionally design , construct and craft with my own hands. Background: I was born and raised in Colombia, South America. Since I remember, I use my time Drawing, Cutting, pasting, sewing and writing. When I was 16 my art's teacher told me that I was not good enough to be an Artist and I believed her. You can believe everything when you are 16 !. That Day I stop drawing and started writing. Ten years after that I recover myself and gave me the opportunity to try again. I studied Architecture in Colombia when in my free time after classes I spent long nights drawing characters, making gifts and cards, and writting. In 2007, I came to America to married my lovely husband and everything changes. There I decided to bild my brand, design my website that proudly was my first website and start making cute handmade cards. |
MariaPalito: Founded in January 2008. Maria Palito is the name I gave to my shop inspired in my first doll character. She is a doll with a huge smile, red curly hair, sweet heart, happy faces and lots of fun. Mariapalito was born as an idea of creating small little gifts and creative expression to fulfill our lives of color !! The name came from The Praying mantis is also called in Colombia, "Mariapalito". I adopted that name for my store and for the image of my brand :Mariapalito. She is a character full of charm and color… |
