I would like to say: "Now I can relax!" but no, I have lots of custom orders to be finished before I go on my vacation.

I've already made lots of custom ordered gorgeous brooches in a shape of owl, Rudolf and bee.

Freaky Friday

Monday blog post #50

Hi my dear friend!

Last week was busy over here although it was Holiday - Eid Al Adha  and no one was working for 3 days. Most of the people took vacation and went somewhere, but not me. I was working simultaneously on few projects. I'm preparing for a new Halloween event organized by handmade community QatART and art school Inspiration Station on Friday, 25th October. We are making decorations for the event, lots of activities and handmade bazaar. My corner will be photo booth with different handmade Halloween props where people will be able to pose for a freaky photo :D

Freaky Friday Bazaar Doha, designed by Gabi Pezo

On Saturday I spent few hours raising awareness and money at the Ritz Carlton Pink Ribbon Awareness Day. Unfortunately, many people were still away for Eid Holidays and not many people came to hear stories from breast cancer survivors. There was also Nicole from TheRawHealthCoach talking about health and healthy food... and me :D with my Little Pink Angel. Also my friends Aly and Monica who prepared gorgeous items all in pink and with hearts.
I managed to raise some money and so far I have raised total of 886QR which will be donated to one family in need who's member is going to therapy.

Thank you ladies for your support and giving hope to other breast cancer patients!

At the moment I'm focusing on custom orders and  and I'm doing illustrations for Christmas/Holidays products like gift tags, cards, mini calendars, bookmarks...
I will probably finish them until next Monday Blog post so see you then :)

Have a lovely week.
Sending you my smile with love,

Little art calendars for 2013

Monday blog post #4

Every time I go to the printing company I get new ideas for my stationary program, so now I designed little art calendars for 2013 with 8 different illustrations.
They are professionally printed on a beautiful recycled chalk 250gsm paper, colors are vivid and brilliant and dimensions are 8x21cm.

You can put them on the wall with the clips, on the fridge with a little magnet or you can hang them with a little wooden cloth clips.

I love them, they look amazing!

On Saturday, 24th November, I participated in 2012 Annual Holiday Bazaar at the College of North Atlantic - Qatar (CNA-Q). The atmosphere was really nice.

Common Thread POP UP Shop, in which I also participated from 13-24th November in Katara Art Center, is closed and now I have few days to rest and prepare for new bazaars I booked for December (you can see all of them on my page Events).

Weekend to remeber

Weekend started on Thursday night (since I live in Qatar, Friday and Saturday are days off, at least for my husband). We were invited to a bbq at our friends house and we were all positively surprised when we saw they have Bedouin style tent in their backyard with the aircon, tv and sofas. There were lots of us but we all wanted to be inside the tent so we were squeezing in to fit :) btw bbq was delicious, prepared in some special Armenian way.

I didn't want to stay long because on Friday I was volunteering with Ladies of Harley at the Breast Cancer Awareness Day. The event went really good, lots of bikers joined the ride and lots of people came to the event. My dear friend Margarita did a great job by organizing everything and me and my friends are all thankful to her for inviting us to help.

On Saturday I participated in Doha Mums Autumn Market in Radisson Blu Hotel in Doha. It was from 11am - 4pm but we had to come before 9,30am. So after a hole day spent out with Ladies of Harley I had to get up early and thank God I packed everything the night before so I had time to have breakfast.
The Market was really successful for me, especially since I got lots of inquiries for custom made angel paintings and so many compliments about how special and gorgeous my work is. What else do I need? :)))) Also few of my dear friends came to give support :)))) thank you !!! and after I finished we continued our day together by going for a lunch and then for a drink. Just a perfect weekend!!!
