Gypsy angel

Monday blog post #94

Oops oops I am a bit late with my Monday blog post, it is already Thursday, a day when we start celebrating the weekend here in Doha :D so before I start celebrating it I want to tell you few things.

I want to share with you a painting I've just finished for a newborn Dana Alicia. Customer wanted something related to gypsy and circus and I was so happy with that idea. I love when customers are creative and give me new ideas to work on.

Time for peace and quiet

Monday blog post #59

Hello my dear friend and welcome to my newest Monday blog post.

I'm having a blast in Croatia surrounded with my family and fiends.
Happiness is all around me :D

What I've been doing since I've arrived?
I had a little bit of time to visit artOmat - market where Croatian artists and designers sell their latest work. I can say that most all of them have products of great quality and design, I was truly impressed.

There are also few locations in the city center with outdoor arts and crafts markets. I didn't have time to take photos except at Advent na Zrinjevcu located in park Zrinjevac, 2 minutes walking distance from Zagreb main square.

I also made one cute painting for little girl Marija.

Now it's time for little bit of peace and quiet, for hugs and kisses, for beautiful food, for Christmas tree and gifts :D

I wish you all Merry Merry Christmas and happy and blessed Holidays!

Giving back to community

Monday blog post #48

Hello!
Happy to see you :)

This Monday blog post is about giving back to community.

MIA PARK BAZAAR October 2013

It is going to be 3 years in January since I've moved to Qatar. I can't believe how time flies when you enjoy what you do, when you explore new opportunities and meet new people. Qatar became my home and I've decided to give back to this community.

Giving back to community doesn't need to include money but giving a bit of your free time and your heart.

On Friday it was a really hot day around 40 degrees or even more and we were getting ready for Ladies of Harley Breast Cancer Awareness Day event. It's my 3rd year now since I've became active in this event. It was organized at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Doha and it was beautiful. Hayat cancer support group representative was also present. I told her about my initiative for raising money for the breast cancer patients who need money for the treatment and she was so happy and promised to put me in contact with them. I want to thank Margarita for organizing everything and giving me the opportunity for being involved in such an amazing event.

Just a quick reminder about my initiative: I painted a painting Little Pink Angel and made 5 different items, paper goods with that image. I'm selling them at the events and online. You can find them all on this link

On Saturday I was at the Museum of Islamic Art Park Bazaar from 12-5pm. I almost melted how hot it was, 41 degrees. My friend Aly saved me with a big shade she brought. If there wasn't her I wouldn't be even considering of staying in the sun. There was not many customers but those who came were really supportive and they melted my heart :)

Here are some photos to see how I managed to survive even I got sunburned :)))

Doha Flea Market

Monday blog post #47

First edition of Doha Flea Market took place on 28th September 2013, from 4 to 11pm at the Doha Swiss Bell hotel ballroom. There were 50 sellers and plenty of visitors. I was a bit tired and not quite myself :))) because I just arrived that morning from Istanbul.

I had only products with the Little Pink Angel illustration because I was raising money for the families in need who's members are fighting the breast cancer. Profit from each sale goes for this cause. I will be raising money during events in October as well and I will be posting information on how much I've raised, on my blog and on my Facebook Page. So far I've raised 695 qr (or $190). At the end of October I will give the money to Hayat Cancer Support Group.

If you want to give your support and buy items with a Little Pink Angel illustration please find all the items under this link and send me an email to cherubins3@gmail.com

These are the photos from the first Doha Flea Market

Come Fly With Me

Monday blog post #29


... Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away...
... Once I get you up there where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear all the angels cheer because we're together...
  
song by Frank Sinatra


Hello my dear friend!


My newest angel painting wasn't inspired by Frank Sinatra's song 'Come fly with me' but when I was thinking about the name I remembered his song and thought that would be the perfect name for this painting.
I used  the technique of painting the background first, gluing doily and then the rest was painted using my imagination.

Princess Angel followed after, using the same technique and a metal thing for the crown I found on the floor at the Souq Wakif here in Doha. I think it is part of an earing. I colored it with acrylic paint to look like it is corroded bronze.

For gluing doily I used Bindex Brillant which I bought for $10 in an art shop called Color Note in Doha.



I don't know if you've noticed but I have a new pieces of furniture in my studio. I'm so in love with them! Old refurbished wooden pieces from India - one is a bookshelf and the other one is a side table. I also did a big cleaning and reorganizing all my art supplies and my studio looks so nice now.
