Done is better than perfect

Hi my dear friend!

My new resolution is "Done i better than perfect" and yesterday was the 50th of 100 days challenge I am doing with other artists around the globe. Each of us is doing their own thing every day for 100 days and I've decided to make surface pattern designs. It is very hard to make one each day but with the new resolution "Done is better than perfect" it works just fine ;)

You can see all of them on my Instagram account or on my Facebook Page

Last week I was participating in a small bazaar which I organized for the International Women's Association of Krakow. It happened during our usual coffee morning with 10 creative members doing arts and crafts. It was charitable event and 10% of each sale went to the association's charity fond. 

Here are few photos ;)

I made few new paintings for this bazaar so that members can see the original work not just the printed version of it. If you are interested to buy the originals, please send me an email at cherubins3@gmail.com.

And one happy news for the end: my illustration "Girl in a field of daisies" was chosen to be in an art exhibition called "Never ending story" which is on 2nd&3rd June in Osijek in Croatia during ReART festival. Don't miss this event if you are in Osijek.

Personalized gifts

Hi my dear friend!

It was so busy these days over at my studio. I left a big mess which I need to clean now because I am closing the studio for a long holiday season. I know I won't be able to just lay down and do nothing but with lots of traveling I probably won't be able to do much. That is why I had to finish a lot of personalized commissions and I am so happy with all of them.

Framed hand painted dolls and quotes (toilette signs for a restaurant in Doha). I made these signs last year for them but unfortunately one doll got stolen so I was asked to make new ones.

Take me to the jungle

I was recently asked to do a painting in acrylics for newborn baby boy Zane.
I really enjoyed making this colorful painting full of details that I decided to make one more similar illustration with watercolors.

Reach for the stars

Monday blog post #82

There are million things I dream about and wish to come true... 

The thing is that we need to make a step, reach for it and it will happen step by step.

This is a message to all of us and to a little baby boy Joe :D

"Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Follow your hearts desire
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true."

COME TO THE CRAFT MARKET ON SATURDAY! 

I also started the preparations for new craft market at the new art school Inspiration Station on Saturday 7th September. It's a new place where people will be able to learn new skills like painting, drawing, sewing, crocheting and more. A place where I will certainly go to get inspired and hang out with other artsy people :) I can't wait for the official opening and to show you how it looks like.

Here are some photos I took last week when I went with my friend Gabi from Gab Atelier to meet with the owner of the school, adorable and friendly Mel.

Hope to see you there on Saturday!!!!
