Month: October 2024

I collect yarn scraps. Whether it’s a tiny piece or a larger ball of yarn, I keep everything. When I’ve gathered a considerable amount, I use them to crochet colorful toys. My toys are quite large, about 50 cm / 20 inches tall, so I need a lot of yarn scraps. I particularly enjoy giving my toys quirky heads and long arms. This way, the colors and shapes come together to create a playful and attractive whole.

I have cat, dog, owl, fox, monkey, llama, and other patterns of my scrap yarn toys. But today I want to say “I am ready for Christmas”. I crochet beautiful deer with a Christmas color pullover. Green, white, and red always look Christmassy. And if it’s deer, it’s the perfect combination for the holidays.

I am ready for Christmas. And you?

As Halloween approaches, I love getting creative with glass figurines that add a unique twist to the spooky season. Some of my favorite pieces for this time of year are glass spiders, octopuses, and acorns. These intricate designs bring an eerie yet elegant vibe to any Halloween décor, especially when you incorporate uranium glass into the mix. Some figurines are made from uranium glass and glow brilliantly under ultraviolet light, adding a captivating, ghostly charm to your Halloween setup. Whether used as table centerpieces or shelf decorations, these glass creatures bring a beautiful yet spooky element that stands out from the typical Halloween fare!

After battling illness, I received a life-changing diagnosis: scleroderma. My disabled hands left me devastated, taking away my ability to draw and communicate through sign language.

Determined to reclaim my creativity, I persevered. With two fingers and limited shoulder mobility, I adapted. My desk became my trusted ally.

Inspired by superhero movies, I conceived Superheroes on the Line – whimsical illustrations of heroes hanging laundry.

As the festive season approaches, a feeling of warmth, joy and anticipation fills the air. One of my favorite ways to prepare for Christmas is through cross stitching.

It is a craft that has been passed down through generations, with roots dating back centuries. The beauty of cross stitching is its versatility: from simple patterns to intricate scenes, there is something for everyone. For me, the process of cross stitching becomes a meditative experience, allowing me to relax and focus on the present moment.

As Christmas approaches, I find great joy in creating symbolic gifts for my loved ones. There is something incredibly special about giving a gift that is handmade. Each piece I create has a personal touch, reflecting the time and effort I have put into it.

In a world dominated by mass-produced goods, handmade gifts stand out as unique treasures. They foster closer bonds between friends and family, reminding us that love and effort can be expressed through creativity.

As I prepare for Christmas this year, I am looking forward to diving into my cross stitch projects. Each stitch is not just part of a design, it is a labor of love that embodies my thoughts and feelings for those I care about.

Banksy always sparks a conversation with his artwork. Whether it might have a deep message or not at all, people are drawn to speculate on its meaning. Some of his most recent 9 artworks of zoo animals painted around London have definitely caught people’s attention.

It all started in August with a balancing goat, followed by two elephants, swinging monkeys, a howling wolf, pelicans eating fish, a big cat, piranhas, a rampaging rhino, and then crowned by a gorilla helping animals escape, drawn on the London Zoo gate.

Obviously, you may not find all of them in their original state anymore, as people have either drawn over them or taken the more portable pieces for themselves.

These colorful and vibrant canine portraits were created for a 2024 dog calendar. They have been on display in my clients’ houses all year. I’m often notified by the owners when it’s their dog’s month.

Each dog was chosen to represent a month and a color uniquely suited to them. From casting calls to the photoshoots to the arrival of the calendars, it took around two months to complete. The next time the calendars can be used is in 2052.

Got a text from a friend that the northern lights are visible on my college campus and I’ve never run to a dark spot faster to look at the sky. It was freezing cold (for October) but well worth it.

Hi, guys! These watercolors are some of my new works, created to take a break from digital art and break free from a depressive creative block. I’m exploring new styles and techniques while trying not to judge the results too harshly. I would love any feedback, comments, suggestions, and inspiration. I have prints available on Instagram and would appreciate a follow and your engagement.
