This year I decided to use my white-on-black sketches as a Christmas cards.

It will be something like lottery.

2011-11-30T20:55:00.001+02:00

My husband Alex makes hand-printed film photos.
And I'm collecting his used contacts.
So I decided to create a book with them.

Hospital

2011-11-15T15:07:00.001+02:00

For the last five days we were in hospital with Martha.
She was born with capillary-cavernous hemangioma on her shoulder and now she had to come through the surgery.

But now she is ok and we are home.
When we were in the hospital and I had to wait, I tried to soothe myself with sketching.

And here she is this morning :-)

Smiling, playing with her toys like there was no any surgery :-)

And we are really happy now!

days of chestnuts

2011-09-27T11:49:00.003+03:00

In Kyiv, where we live, it is time of chestnuts. They are everywhere. And when you're going through the park you need to beware of falling chestnuts.

I like to draw there different shapes.

I don't have much time to draw a lot because of all the great time taking care of Martha and playing with her. :-)
So I keep on sketching when she sleeps and waiting for that days when my little girl will draw with me.
