A handmade community in Qatar

And I also have some nice news to tell you, so please don't leave yet :)

I don't know if you remember that together with my friend Gabi we founded a group for people who make handmade products in Qatar called QatART. 

After we joined forces with art and craft school Inspiration Station and formed a dedicated board team in October 2013 we became more active. 

Our last accomplishment is that we managed to agree on collaboration between our group and Katara Art Studios and we will start organizing our own handmade markets in Katara starting from this Friday, 28th March. 

One more exciting news is that the story about our group was published yesterday, Sunday 23rd March in a local newspaper Qatar Tribune and we are all so proud and happy.

Sending you my smile with love,

Dominika

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,
Dominika

My favourite event

Monday blog post #18

My favorite event in Doha is Museum of Islamic Art Park Bazaar.
I love spending time outdoor and in Qatar people are most of the time indoor, in shopping malls, at home, at work, in a gym...
During weekend, specially this time of the year, before it becomes too hot, people go to parks and on corniche,  where they have picnic and spend their free time with their families.
This Bazaar is also a great way to spend time strolling between the booths and to grab something for eat. There are variety of food from Italian, Thai, Arabic... and plenty of handmade products and artworks and even used books.
Thank you all for coming this Saturday and hope to see you again on April 6th !
