Christmas/Holiday collection

Wednesday blog post #11

Hello!
I had a very productive two weeks and still continuing to work without stopping. It makes me so happy and my days are too short for everything I would like to do and make!!!

Can't wait to show you my latest illustrations I made for my Christmas/Holiday collection. I know I am a bit late and that makes me nervous but hopefully this week everything will be ready and then next week I am participating in an Art and Food Bazaar where I am going to show my work for the first time to Cracow audience :D I am planing to make a collection which will include cards, prints and gift tags.
Fingers crossed!!!

Next painting was made for special order from one friend in Doha to another in Finland :D
Idea for the painting came from a client. I so love when my clients are so cleaver!!!

Another little painting I finished last week I am donating to the International Women Association Krakow (IWAK) for auction and all funds will go to "Przedzkole specjalne Nr.100" located in Nowa Huta (it is a special institution dedicated in supporting the development of children with special educational needs -www.wboxi.com/site/przedszkole100.pl).
I called this painting "Let's make the world a better place" because it is showing how the elephant is taking a good care of a little bird. And look at the little ladder for a bird to be able to climb to the bird's house :D

I also started working on new cuddle pillow designs. So far I made cloud and raindrop pillows and now I am introducing new designs in a round shapes with images of different animals. Now I need to sew them :D

And I want to show you this as well, if you are not following me on Facebook or Instagram then you probably haven't seen it. My client sent me this photo of a bear which is made of her daughter's first clothes including my hand painted body suit I've painted specially for her. The bear is made by Krpancek.


Off to the printing company!

Sending you my smile with love!

Christmas illustrations in progress

Wednesday blog post #10

Hello my friend!

I am so happy you came to see what is new with me :D
As I wrote in my previous post, things are turning better and my life in Cracow is becoming easier.
It is thanks to people, lovely women from all around the world. Life of an expat is always hard in the beginning and we need support. So, now I have local friends who are also artists and who are very helpful. Because of them I will be able to showcase my work at two markets next month for which I am preparing some Christmas/Holidays illustrations. Illustrations are still in progress but I want to share few photos with you :D and if you have any comment or idea please share them with me in a comment section bellow this post or write me an email... what ever works for you the best!





You can follow me on my Facebook page or Instagram.

Sending you my smile with love,
Dominika

A Sneak Peek

Monday blog post #52

I have few questions for you:

First:
Do you agree that sometimes you need a reminder from a stranger?
One lady reminded me this weekend how lucky I am for being able to create my work all day.
Yes indeed, I'm one lucky lady :D
My studio is where I'm really happy, where I can be true me.

Second:
Do you like looking at other creative people's photos of their work in progress?
I do!!! And when you see them doing everything by them self, then you have to appreciate their work even more!

Third:
Would you like to take a sneak peek at how I made Party Invitations?
Yes?????
Then c'mon over!!!

Invitations are first professionally printed on ivory card stock 350gsm, then I used craft knife to cut them to dimension of 10x16cm.
