Austin to Africa, Brasil to the Bay: Maria, Lady of the Wax Print
http://ali2africa.blogspot.com/2010/11/maria-lady-of-wax-print.html
Thursday, November 25, 2010. Maria, Lady of the Wax Print. Maria, Lady of the Wax Print", acrylic on canvas board, 11x14 inches. This was my first ever attempt at painting a person. I wanted Maria to look as if she were being surrounded by this swirling lotus-blossom pattern that I found on a piece of wax print fabric. This painting took about 5 hours to complete, and I am super pleased with the result. I am an artist. Ali, Happy Thanksgiving to you and Rico. 25 November, 2010 13:13. Jeweler. Artist&...

Austin to Africa, Brasil to the Bay: A Royal Finish
http://ali2africa.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-royal-finish.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. I've been working on another big project, too: creating the structure and content for my new website over at www.aliamaro.com. It's still a work in progress, but it's close enough to soft launch and share. I know there are several dead end links, and lots of images and captions yet to upload, but after building this site from the ground up over the past 1.5 years, I'm ready for it to be a thing, out there in real life, a tool to be used. I am an artist. View my complete profile.

Austin to Africa, Brasil to the Bay: Suggestions for Finding Housing in Maputo
http://ali2africa.blogspot.com/2009/04/suggestions-for-finding-housing-in.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Suggestions for Finding Housing in Maputo. That said, here are my suggestions for finding a place to rent in Maputo. 3 If you are in Maputo (or can convince a friend here to act on your behalf), post a "Housing Wanted" flyer at some of the places around town that have community buletin boards, like Café Sol, Mundo's, SuperMare's supermarket, etc. A few other tips:. Most landlords require that you pay 3 month's rent up front. Most housing in Maputo is ultimately found by word-of-m...

Austin to Africa, Brasil to the Bay: Photoshoot with my Mom
http://ali2africa.blogspot.com/2015/01/photoshoot-with-my-mom.html
Monday, January 26, 2015. Photoshoot with my Mom. I will be doing a photoshoot tomorrow (taking pictures of the crown I made. As worn by my client) and I needed to figure out what the light will be doing at 3:30pm. Yesterday my mom and I went for a walk as I scouted locations here in our neighborhood. She posed as my model so I could test the light and be sure the camera was working properly, and in the process I got some amazing photos of her. Here are a few of my favorites:.

Austin to Africa, Brasil to the Bay: Ten
http://ali2africa.blogspot.com/2015/04/ten.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. Ten years ago I started this blog. I quit my job. I packed my things into a massive truck, bought a plane ticket, and left Austin. It was all very planned, plotted out. I spent a month in Rio, then moved to Mozambique. It has been one hell of a decade. Beijos a todos. Mandi No Apathy Allowed. Crazy how much can happen in a decade, isnt it? Congratulations for committing yourself to blogging all those years and recording important moments for posterity! 24 April, 2015 03:13. Jewele...

Austin to Africa, Brasil to the Bay: Pattern Inspiration - African Wax Prints
http://ali2africa.blogspot.com/2010/10/pattern-inspiration-african-wax-prints.html
Thursday, October 21, 2010. Pattern Inspiration - African Wax Prints. I am so in love with these fabric designs. Such fantastic colors and patterns. I could look at them on google images for hours. Part of me wishes I'd bought more capulanas while in Mozambique. I am particularly regretful that I didn't buy multiples of this gorgeous blue, green and brown bird print fabric. I keep hoping I'll find it for sale somewhere online, but no luck thus far. Have you been to discount fabrics in San Francisco?

Austin to Africa, Brasil to the Bay: Muir Woods
http://ali2africa.blogspot.com/2014/07/muir-woods.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2014. My dad came to visit last week, and one of the highlights was a visit to Muir Woods. In the nearly five years we've lived at Casa Cali, I'd not yet visited the giant redwoods. They sure are huge, but what really impressed me is how crowded Muir Woods is. Think hordes and hordes of people. But even so, it manages to be peaceful. I guess ancient trees trump tourists!

Austin to Africa, Brasil to the Bay: Fraudulent Booker
http://ali2africa.blogspot.com/2014/06/fraudulent-booker.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. Someone used my business credit card to try and purchase $1,400 worth of tickets on a travel site called e-booker.com. When the bank called to notify me of the fraudulent activity, I heard e-Hooker.com. Hehe. Either way, someone's plans for a real good time were spoiled because the charge was blocked. On top of training an assistant, watching World Cup, helping organize Point to Point, working on a bunch of custom orders (yay! Working out, and generally hustling a hard hustle.
