Follow your dreams!

Some of my resolutions for 2014 was to concentrate more on my own art, to be more creative, and to draw and paint a lot more. And now towards the end of this year, I can say that I did it!

I followed my dreams and changed some things in my life, that were keeping me away from what I really wished for. I can't say it was very easy, but it was definitely worth it!

 

 

This is an experimental, mixed media painting/collage I did last year.

Updates and needle felted creatures

For a couple months I have been pretty quiet in all the social medias, but working on some interesting projects, both large and small. One of them was illustrating a Christmas book with poems for children. Thanks to this I got into the Christmas mood a lot earlier this year :) Working on this project was very exciting and I just can't wait to see the final result. I think it's going to be very pretty. The release date is December 6. After that I will be able to post some illustrations and pictures of the book online. I might even make some sort of book "give away" game... I'll keep you updated :)

 

Recently I felt like I wanted to do something other than drawing and painting, just for a little while, so I kept myself busy by needle felting creatures and making brooches. I made a whole flock of sheep :) Some of them will be presents for my family, as little talismans for the next year, 2015, the year of the sheep.

 

 

I have also updated my Etsy shop. You are welcome to come have a peak!

 

With love,

Ilona
