FRIDAY INTRODUCTION . It’s been far too long since I’ve done this - so hello to y'all, I’m Christina a.k.a. BonfireArt 👋 . I’m based in Buenos Aires since 2008, where I live with my husband and two kids. Drawing, and later painting, became my hobby in 2015 . As for some lesser known things about me ⭐ My favorite place to relax on a daily basis is our garden. I love just sitting here with some Mate tea or coffee, watch the greens, the plants and flowers and the sky and reflect on my day ⭐ I just can’t get accustomed to Christmas in summer!! I appreciate my birthday being in spring here in the southern hemisphere and I don’t mind not having to bundle up for new years, but having been born and raised in Germany, Christmas and winter just belong together for me ⭐ I love swimming and being in the water in general. When I was younger, I took lessons in scuba diving and dreamed about filming underwater documentaries ⭐ I never learned how to drive a car and although especially at the beginning of every year I wonder if this will be the year I finally learn it, in more than 40 years I’ve never gotten around to actually do it ⭐ I’d really love to know something more about you too, so write something in the comments if you want. Or you could do a Friday introduction of your own and tag me. That would be great too . Wishing you an awesome weekend and see you soon!!

Hi! My #fridayintroduction continues if you’re following along and interested 😇: I left off last week at my preteen self moving from rural Northern New Mexico to the suburbs of #norcal (I’m trying not to skip decades here); it’d be interesting to hear the memories of the kids I went to junior high and high school with...you never know what it looks like from the outside, right? For me, inside, it was a culture shock, I was deeply insecure and I was single-parented by a dad who was working three jobs just to keep my older sister and I in a two bedroom apartment in the bad part of town—needless to say he was always busy, we were just barely making it and I had to start looking out for myself ASAP. I got my first job at 15 and did my best in school, which was pretty darn good for a kid from the sticks. I found a group of friends who were outsiders too—many who came from broken homes and poor backgrounds, but also had the uniting interests of creativity and independence. We wore a lot of black, went to punk concerts, dyed our hair a rainbow of colors, got tattoos and piercings, and gave each other shelter in confusing teenage years 🖤 I had always been “artistic”—sure, I was in my high school art club!—but I didn’t imagine myself being an artist when I left high school; instead I wanted to be practical, and have a good paying job, maybe own a house someday...you know, the way you’re supposed to do it? 😳😬 But it didn’t quite work out that way. Good spot to end this week, next Friday I’ll tell you about my twenties and art school 😎 this picture of me—looking very friendly and not at all insecure!—from a couple of years ago in my studio with @noor.un.nisa_ 📸❤️ #ninatichava #painter #femaleartistfriday #fridayintroductions #lifestory #whereicomefrom #artistlife #studioportrait #poser #notamodel #womanpainter (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Hg4CmHxiE/?igshid=1afzdkafg8dvk

#FridayIntroduction!!! 👋🏼 @flowithcass tagged me to introduce myself and I love this idea more than random facts, if you stick around long enough you’ll learn those anyway! 😉 So, instead of giving you my name, where I live, relationship status, and age I’m sharing my hopes, dreams, and fears.🙏🏼 💕My hope is to spread love and light everywhere I go—even if it only reaches one person. If I can facilitate a reconnection with the self, inspiring hopes and dreams in others even in the smallest way then I will have lived a truly successful life. My hope is that the messages and thoughts I share remind you to be present, right here and right now while whispering sweet messages of gratitude into the Universe. ✨My dream is that I create something bigger than myself, reaching further than I can imagine and into your soul, stirring creativity, connection, wholeness, love, and magic. My biggest dream is to run a retreat center where incredible teachers and healers across the globe can facilitate even more magic and growth. 🤞🏼My fear is that as I continue to grow and evolve that my tribe won’t grow with me—that my tribe will fall away from my values. However, I’m trusting that the Universe will never let me go it alone. Lets celebrate each other not by our name/job title/relationship status but by things that get us out of bed in my morning and the things that spark joy in our heart. Tagged ladies I would love to hear your #fridayintro and tag a friend who you want to hear from. With deep love, Paige 💗 . . . . #yogagirl #yogaplay #positivevibesonly #yogafun #yogamotivation #yogastrong #yogahigh #yogaforall #yogatribe #yogawomen #yogagoals #ybp #fitfam #yogabypaige #strongwomen #yogateacher #thesweatlifeSF #superattractor #dreams #hopes #fears (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2_8hVnN3X/?igshid=1em8iqg0d632z

Hi all 👋⠀ ⠀ For those who don’t me, I’m Leona - head stationery addict at Scratch & Jotter. ⠀ ⠀ I adore stationery, but I absolutely love the feeling of opening a new notebook or planner - with all the hope and possibility that lies within. ⠀ ⠀ I also love how capable I feel when my workspace and desk is arranged and I have my favourite tools for best productivity. ⠀ ⠀ I started Scratch & Jotter in 2015 because I want to help others create that feeling through beautiful and functional stationery. ⠀ ⠀ It’s so lovely to meet you.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday! 🎄 Soo I may have made a #fridayintroductions post last year, but I’d say I’m a little overdue for another for all the new faces out there! 👋🏼 . Since graduating college, I’ve been an RN working with kids in home health, and, more recently, at a small concierge family practice. But earlier this month I took a leap and left my nursing job to work full-time on writing and designing for my creative business World of Words by AG! 🤩 Sooo nervous and sooooooo excited for this journey! . I’ve also opened a new Etsy shop where I’ll be selling printables I’ve designed - daily, weekly, monthly planners, calendars, recipe cards, fitness and habit trackers, etc - TheWellOrganizedMind.etsy.com if you want to check it out! I have a lot more designs coming soon. . So that’s me professionally! Personally - I’m Alicia 🙃 I’m celebrating my 5-year anniversary with @ryangreen73 this January ❤️ Some of my favorite things include laughing until I cry, playing board games with my amazing family, hiking the Rocky Mountains 🏔 with my pups, relaxing with a good book 📚, bingeing on Netflix, watching GOT, everything to do with HP 🌩, and most things outdoors. . That’s me! Now tell me a little about yourselves, or ask me a question below! 👇🏼 . . . . . #aliciangreen #aliciangreenpoetry #fridayintroduction #poetrycommunity #meettheartist #meetthemaker #writerscommunity #writerscorner #writersofinsta #poetsofig #poetsofinsta #poetscorner #poetsofinstagram #makersofinstagram #makersbiz #fridaymood #fridayvibes #writingcommunity #creativecommunity #selfie_time #selfie (at Breckenridge, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br78gO8g2_U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=62a98ayz54ci

Hey, queens! Have you all been waiting for a #fridayintroduction? WELL YOU’RE IN LUCK! • My name is Eric and 6 years ago I said that I would become a wardrobe stylist. So now I am one. That’s the power of commitment, hard work, and simply speaking things into truth. • I live in Chicago and have for almost 1 year. Before that I was in Asheville, NC and if you think that’s just a podunk small town then you’re uncultured 😀 • September is @tylerjmccall and I’s 10 year anniversary! I know, that’s a long time. Give us presents 😜 When it works it works, ya know? • I used to think that fashion trends and celebrity style were the only way to exist in the fashion world. Then I realized that using your own creativity to do things your way will attract some people and deter others. AND THAT’S PERFECT! • I used to hate Sonja on RHONY but now she’s a real ass bitch so I can hang with her. • A girl I went to college with was Sonja’s intern one season. She was on the show. It was cute. • my style is STILL always evolving and I still occasionally leave the house hating what I’m wearing. Do you ever talk about yourself and then think “literally no one asked for this. They probably won’t read this”? Well, you and me both! I guess we’ll see if we’re correct... 📷 @mwhitestudio (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmBYPWKA4YW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vg5dlzpnez0x

How about a mini #fridayintroduction 🙋🏻‍♀️ You may already know this about me, but I’m pretty diverse in my alcohol choices. Besides beer, I enjoy wine, hard seltzer, hard kombucha, tequila, mezcal, vodka, campari, and champagne! Funny fact: I have never owned a dog, and gathered that I wasn’t much of a dog person. However, working in a brewery and being around so many fun dogs, I have the doggie itch now! Got me wondering, what is a small short haired breed, that would be a good companion dog for beginners?! Tell me about your dogs and alcohol choices: 🐶👇🏼🍸👇🏼 (at Carlsbad, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFSLqn1Hwlq/?igshid=anhu4nnqxy2q

Hi friends! I feel like it’s always good to reintroduce myself before @Dressember gets going, so here we go. ☺️ My name is Elise, I’ve lived in six different states and currently call Pennsylvania home. I work at a dental office and thanks to covid, my hubby and I spend most of our free time at home drinking coffee, watching The Mandalorian, playing games, or cuddling with our cat. This is my seventh year participating in Dressember and my second year of hosting #CreateForDressember (though if you remember #LetterForDressember, technically it’s the fourth year of the challenge). I love creativity, and using it to fight human trafficking is such an amazing and special way to get involved in a world-changing cause. One of my absolute favorite parts of Dressember is getting to connect and build friendships with other advocates. Over the years I’ve gotten to “digitally meet” so many amazing women, and I would love to meet and get to know you too! Leave a comment or shoot me a DM and introduce yourself. Are you new to Dressember, or have you advocated before? Are you a maker, creative, or small business owner? What is your favorite color, snack, or movie? Let’s be friends! 🥰 #dressember #fridayintroductions #dressemberadvocate #itsbiggerthanadress #advocacy #endhumantrafficking #endslavery #dressemberworldchangers #artistsoninstagram #artists #creatives #freedom #challenge #letteringchallenge #makerchallenge #fridayintroduction (at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIGZIk5HF0c/?igshid=oztzfteav58a

Hi, y’all! It’s been a while since I’ve done a #FridayIntroduction, so for my new followers: I am a designer, illustrator, calligrapher, and embroiderer from South Texas. I dislike the sun, summer, and pastel floral patterns. I like stripes and the color black, coffee, running, and not talking to people. I’m a bit goth, but I smile a lot. Can often be found with my head buried in a book or hidden behind a large pile of art supplies. Please note that I don’t bite (unless provoked) and it’s generally safe to approach me if one bears gifts of food, caffeine, or comic books. 🦇 • • • • #sanantonioartist #graphicdesigner #calligrapher #embroiderer #illustrator #artistsofinstagram #goth #allblackeverything #gimmecoffee #saartscene (at San Antonio, Texas)

Hi! It’s Friday (it is, right? 😂) and I’m continuing my story in this next installment of #fridayintroductions 👋 at this point in my story, I had just dropped out of college 😳 which sounds more dramatic than it was honestly—I had only half-heartedly gone in the first place, pretty much by default, so the leaving was less-than-surprising, especially to me. I was freshly 21 and got my first job in the restaurant business, working as a cocktail waitress, starting my stint of 10+ years in that industry. It’s a period of time when I learned tons about wine, made some of my closest lifelong friends and spent arguably too much time out in bars. I was making a tiny bit of art in my free time, painting and collage, but only just enough to remind me that it was something I was into. The word *rudderless* comes to mind. Then, I unexpectedly got pregnant. My partner at the time was an amazing man, and is still one of my aforementioned lifelong friends, but we were definitely not in a place to start a family together; the decision of whether or not to have a child at 25 was a huge wake up call. I decided to have an abortion—a choice I have never regretted and will fight for every woman to have. Accompanying that huge decision was the equally huge recognition that I wanted more out of my life than working a job I was marginally good at and partying afterwards, sleeping until 2pm with just enough time to get ready for my next shift—it felt empty. So I decided to go back to school, but this time I was more focused about things; I actually did some research, visited a few campuses, and ultimately applied to California College of Arts and Crafts for a degree in Graphic Design; I was accepted, and before I knew it was finding an apartment and job in San Francisco, which was a big deal for this country mouse! I’ll leave off here, and will tell you all about art school next time 😎 This photo of me is by @ghostsofgondolin in front of my favorite painting from the winter 🙌❤️ it’s part of my show @gallerymar that opened in March and quietly hung through the apex of this pandemic 🙃 #ninatichava #fridayintroduction #studioportrait #notamodel #poser #mystory #femaleartist #womanpainter (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pkjrmHqGB/?igshid=wnojky5td070
