I find myself obsessing over Russian kokoshniks once again and now I have taken the liberty to draw them a lot, taking pleasure and relief each time I dive deep into the intricate details. Have you ever seen a real kokoshnik before? I truly believe I'll be on ultimate fan-girl mode if I do ever see one right in front of me.

I believe her name is Yekaterina. Well, that is just what I think her name is. I think it suits her. :)

It has been a while, hasn't it?
A lot has happened for the past year and it was such an experience. 

Well, cheers to love, adventure and happiness!

Been dreaming of the ocean almost every night in the past few weeks now, and of grasslands as well. Nature calls.

Cheers!

Sketch from last night. Inspired by our flower bouquet at home which also contain the ever fragrant eucalyptus branches. An array of vibrant yellow and purple, white, and a very earthy green makes me smile. Will be posting the finished illustration sometime this week. :)

The woods is such a beautiful place. It helps us feel so many things such as the vulnerability and beauty of our own mortality as well as the lovely mystery that is life. Under every leaf lies a secret, in every whispers the breeze makes carries a story we're yet to know if we only listen with our hearts.

Been busy with ink lately. Nope, I'm not obsessed with it. Well, there's a bit of it though. Haha! Also, I've recently arranged for a PayPal account so I could take in commissions. So, so excited for this! It's a big step for me.
