UPDATE: Unusual piece of art ๐ฎ, some positive news and a HUGE HUG for you all ๐ ๐งธ
🕑 Added 2022-03-03 19:36:00 +0000 UTCHi everyone! ๐ธ
I hope you are safe and full of hope ๐ Thank you all so much for so many supporting messages after my last post ๐ฅบ You don't even know how much it means to me!
A lot has happened recently so I wanted to give you a short update:
1. I became a volunteer
I started helping with sorting donations for refugees from Ukraine. We sort clothes, shoes, towels, bedding, blankets, toys etc. ๐คฑ๐ป ๐ผ ๐งธ We sort and arrange diapers, pads and other hygiene products so that everyone has easy and convenient access to them. We also discard items that look worse (e.g. old blankets) to send them to animal shelters and other organizations ๐ถ๐ฑ
It was such a surreal experience to pick big, solid winter boots from a pile and send them to men fighting in Ukraine! I never imagined in my life that I would have a task like this ๐
At the same time I am so happy that I can help and meet people with big hearts. For the first time since the attack on Ukraine, I stopped feeling this terrible pressure in my stomach. I know that it is a small thing, but seeing how many people help, I feel that we are able to handle this crisis together ๐๐
2. Art supplies for children
In my city (and soon also in others) are organized free creative workshops for children and their mothers from Ukraine. It is obvious that they are under huge stress right now, and as you know, art can be a good form of therapy and relief. Yesterday I organized materials from my neighbors and my own supplies. Next I went to the market and bought much more. From this place I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! Thanks to you I can be flexible in terms of work and thanks to your financial support I can give more to others! ๐

3. Pottery class and my first mug
I recently started attending pottery lessons with my mum and sister. Mainly for fun, relaxation and to spend more time with them. Yesterday I finished my first mug. Look how adorable! ๐ฅฐ ๐
4. Potato Angel
I have approved design of the Potato Angel plush. I will see the first prototype in about a month and hopefully show it to you guys ๐ฅ ๐ His halo and wings will glow in the dark! ๐ฑ
5. Second Domestika course
As some of you know, I was invited to create a second Domestika course. It will be about colored pencils! We are already working on the content. I'm flying to Madrid in June. I collected a lot of important feedback after the first course but I am still open to suggestions if you have any ๐
That's all for now, thank you again, take care and spread love! ๐
