A few new things




A new case for my watercolors, the old one was getting too small. The first issue of Solo, the awesome zine by illustrator Lizzy Stewart. Salmon colored washi tape. Another film camera, the super compact Olympus MJU II, which is perfect to carry around in my small-ish bag. And a bow shaped hairpin.

I'm also knitting a custom designed sweater for a friend, you can see the swatch I knit here. But I still have to choose the fair-isle motives for the yoke.

And last, here'a a sneak peek of the new book cover I've been working on. Stay tuned to the blog because soon I'll be making a post with my watercolor illustration process. It's something I've been wanting to do for ages!

  4. Hi Ana!! Yes, I was lucky and ordered the second volume as well. I still have your cute rainy cloud but it's not currently on display on my studio, since I rotate the artwork on my walls a lot. But I'll see what I can do :)

    Ada, knitting it's a matter of practice, and I really enjoy it. And don't be scared of watercolors, you don't have anything to loose if you try.
