Painting these Christmas cards for @crapaa.animal Painting these Christmas cards for @crapaa.animal has been one of my most rewarding projects of this year. Not only because I loved creating them, but especially because it felt like a small way of supporting an association that truly does an  exceptional work.🥰 CRAAPA cares for every animal with remarkable dedication, patience, and affection. They know each one individually, their personalities, their needs, and their stories. Being able to contribute, even in a small way, to such meaningful work made this project feel especially close to my heart.🤗

Each illustration began with natural-pigment painting, later refined digitally.
Seeing the cards printed and ready to make their way into the world fills me with joy (and a touch of holiday magic ✨).

You can find the cards directly through CRAAPA and help support the animals they look after so lovingly.🧡🎄

This tiny mushroom has been patiently waiting in a This tiny mushroom has been patiently waiting in a frame in my studio. I shared it here a while ago, but it's only now that I finally managed to prepare it as a print and add it to my online shop.

Created using hand-painted papers and collage, one of my favourite slow and meditative techniques. I hadn’t worked with collage for a while, as it’s such a labour-intensive process and life has been rather full lately. But revisiting this piece reminded me of how calming and quietly joyful it can be.🍄

It’s now available in my shop. Just in time for the cosiest season of the year.❄️🎄

There’s a certain stillness that only the forest h There’s a certain stillness that only the forest holds at this time of year: soft air, warm muted colours, a gentle pause before winter.
This illustration was originally created as my website banner a few years ago, painted with natural pigments and inspired by that peaceful hush of the season.
After a few requests and custom commissions, I decided to make it available in my shop (link in bio).
Now you can bring a little piece of that stillness home too. 🦊🍂

Para este ano letivo, eu e a @sararodi.oficial est Para este ano letivo, eu e a @sararodi.oficial estamos a preparar novas visitas a escolas e bibliotecas com a nossa coleção "Alerta Emoções". 
Nestes encontros, partilhamos com as crianças momentos cheios de imaginação, empatia e descoberta, através de jogos e atividades criativas inspirados nos livros desta coleção.✨

As ilustrações que vos mostro hoje são do nosso livro “A Menina Que Quer Ser Invisível”. É uma história sobre a diferença, aceitação e o poder das boas palavras. Porque, às vezes, basta uma palavra simpática para mudar o dia de alguém.🧡

This piece reminds me of slow days, warm colours and the joy of small stories told with natural pigments.
