D: Drawing

This weekend, we are celebrating my son's Birthday with a trip to an old majestic hotel. Everywhere I look, I see beautiful floral patterns and elaborate decorations.

When I see an interesting visual element, I ask myself: "How can I bring this to my art?"

Here is one example, where I added floral elements to a kawaii-style Matryoshka doll. I especially like the touch of gold leaf (so easy to do in Procreate! 😉)

So this weekend, I took pictures and did lots of sketching 😊 – gathering ideas for future projects. I hope to share them with you soon!

R: Resource

I love creating art. And I love using it to bring beauty into everyday life with everyday objects. ❤️

Procreate & print-on-demand services make this easier than ever!

How?

Well, I found this really comprehensive guide by Lisa Bardot that answers many questions. I hope it will help you as well!

A: Affirmation

I am experimenting with my wardrobe. So I ordered a few things online to play around with different looks (closest mall is 1 hour away 😆).

But... most of what I ordered did NOT work.

So annoying! 😂 All that time and energy invested!

But holding on to clothes, ideas, beliefs... that don't work is pointless. It's just weight. So I'll be passing on most of it. 😞

Here this week's affirmation:

It's ok to let go, even if I invested effort into it... Letting go makes space for new possibilities.

I guess I'll have to plan a trip to the mall after all. 😄

W: Wonder

Last week, I invited you (and myself) to examine things in life that we merely tolerate.

I came up with a rather interesting list. From "crappy breakfasts" to "clothes I am not excited to wear". 😆

But this week, I want to shine light in the opposite direction and notice the good things we have.

Here is a question to wonder about this week:

I wonder... what am I grateful for right now? Name 3 things.

We even made this a bedtime ritual with the children. As the lights go out, I ask them "What are 3 good things that happened today?"

Aweee!

Have a beautiful week. ❤️

With love,
Tatyana
