This is one of the tiny worlds I’ve been creating

This is one of the tiny worlds I’ve been creating at the end of the year.🌟

I’ve made several of these boxes recently, but I can’t share them yet. Just only after delivering each one of them.

So I’m starting with this one.

There is something about this box that feels like a pause that we all need so much and that makes us ask: "Why don’t you let me stay here?” (the quote I pasted in the sky behind the moon)✨

Each box is a tiny story, built slowly, with care, made from recycled materials, and meant to be discovered up close.
🧡

(I never repeat a Story Box, but you can get inspiration from the ones I have in my online shop. Link in bio.)

When you live with a ginger cat, no Christmas tree

When you live with a ginger cat, no Christmas tree is ever truly safe… 🎄😸
This illustration was inspired by Jimmy, who used to climb the tree as if it were his personal lookout tower.
Thankfully, he grew up. Now he simply naps under it like a respectable gentleman.😻

Swipe to meet the real Jimmy in all his glory days.

At this point, I have delivered all my orders, so it is time to pause and begin to truly enjoy the magic of this season.
Thank you for being here and for supporting my work. 🤗🧡

I’m already preparing new illustrations and projects for the year ahead, and I can’t wait to share what’s growing behind the scenes.

May the last days of the year bring you much joy, rest and a sprinkling of magic!✨🎁

Here’s a simple and sweet Christmas DIY that I’ve

Here’s a simple and sweet Christmas DIY that I’ve been wanting to share: paper angels, made from a single sheet of paper and brought to life with soft colours and hand-painted details.👼

The ones you see here were created in watercolour paper and painted with my natural pigments, but you can easily make your own with just paper, coloured pencils (or watercolours) and a pair of scissors.
It’s a lovely project for these cold, rainy days when we usually stay indoors a little more. And it’s perfect to shape with children. 🌨️

Each angel turns out different, with its own colours, patterns and personality.
Once finished, they make lovely decorations for the tree, sweet little gifts, or even tiny versions to hang on a present.🎄🎁

I’ll share the full DIY on the blog, with the printable template and step-by-step instructions.✨

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 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 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. 🦊🍂
