About Me

I have a creative and crafty soul. I Love cultural crafts, altered arte, religious crafts and Dia De Los Muertos crafts.

Favorite hobbies: Uhh, crafts, drawing, traveling, eating, drinking, dancing, writing, art journaling, painting, collage, thrifting, altering and repurposing.

I am totally a city girl at heart. I LOVE love NYC. I consider it my home away from home and I get back there as often as I can. I also have a big place in my heart for Florence, Italy and Oaxaca, Mexico. A slice of heaven on earth. Yummmmmmmm.

Official foo foo Bio:

Yoli Manzo, , was born and raised in the Silicon Valley. She now makes her home in Sacramento, California where she immerses herself in cultural art exhibiting muse from latin folk art such as Dia de los Muertos, Frida Kahlo and religious saints. Her signature has been described as having a very sharp edge that is admirable for a woman artist. She uses mixed media, strong colors, plenty of glitter and her edgy wit worthy of her label. Yoli Manzo and her art work, including shrines, jewelry, handbags, dolls, skulls and paintings have been featured in art galleries, television, and art festivals throughout northern California as well as internationally via the web. She is a member of the Scary Art Collective and the Mixed Media Artists of Northern California.

Favorite Music

Anything that makes me shake my ample ass! Mostly Old school and R&B, Latin, Salsa, Flamenco, tango, and like I said, anything that gets me shakin it.

Favorite Television

a shameless watcher of the Housewife franchise. I also love Project runway, and by the way, I sure do miss my old craft shows. Shame on whoever who no longer produces these shows!

Favorite Crafts

Anthing sprinked with glitter, thank you very much! Oh and I love making altered art, shrines, Dia De Los Muertos and anything with Guadalupe on them. Frida, Vintage handbags to alter. I am also dabbling in sewing projects and am really digging the softy and doll scene. I also love art journaling and graffiti art making on fabric.

Lately I have been stalking etsy sites that feature bohemian, gypsy, tribal, ethnic and mexican textiles and styles. I love all the brilliant colors and hand embroidery.

Favorite things

Ok, some favorite things: sharpie pens,glitter,fat quarters,pretty fibers, ephemera,foil anything, stamp pads, gesso, gel medium,glitter glues,hand made rubber stamps, bright colored yarns. water soluble crayons.,stencils,roses,rhinestones,glass beads,black and white photos,bright colors,embossing, ,hearts,ribbon,tin boxes,pretty iron ons,crowns, pretty threads,batting, wire, craft felt, metallic embroidery threads, Craft books, or magazines.

I love handmade items. Love and worship anything knitted, quilted, crochet, sewed, stitched, stuffed, felted, ok, you get the picture.

Clubs

Dislikes

I am not much into the country scene, or disney themes. (Don't get me wrong, I love me some Disneyland, but I prefer the decor stays there)
