Valentina

Valentina is a young lady dressed for Valentine's day.
Personally, i don't really like this day. 

Those in love are getting mad 

and those who are single are feeling even more lonely :-( 

But that's just my opinion.

"It seems to me 

that love could be labeled poison 

and we'de drink it anyway."

"The kiss" (censored)

I made this sketch a long time ago. 

It's one of those that need to be censored in 
order to be published. 

Drawing complexes of people was never my strong point, 

but i think this one is done quite well.

With Valentine's day approaching, 

I think this picture is in the mood of the days :-D

"Kind words can be short 

and easy to speak 

but their echoes are truly 

endless"

Blue bow wrist warmers

This time i made just a simple pair of wrist warmers. 

I like these colours. 

Blue is my second favorite colour :-)

"LIFE

without an ERASER"

"Bottled Death"

This sketch was originally made as part of a crest 

for a crest design contest. 

It was supposed to be the crest of a magical kingdom. 

But this doesn't really look like a crest so i never sent it. 

I made another one and i won that contest. 

This sketch remained in the drawer ever since.

So... what do you think???

"Being CREATIVE 

is not a hobby,

It's a way of LIFE"

Deep charcoal grey wrist warmers

These wrist warmers are made for my father 

which is why they have no decorations. 

My dad is a farmer. 

He wears these wrist warmers at work 

beneath his working gloves 

so that his hands can be kept warm. 

They need to be simple so they will be comfortable 

to be worn beneath gloves.

"ART 

cannot be criticized 

because every mistake 

is a new creation"

Blue and white braided cowl

I made this cowl for my mom. She chose the colours.
This cowl is not made with needle or hook.
It's knitted on the fingers.
I had to knit it piece by piece and the put them all together.
It's actually quite fun doing that :-)
That's my mom wearing it!
So... what do you think???

"When you come out of the storm 

you won't be the same person 

that walked in. 

That's what the storm is all about."

"Fear in a child's eyes" (uncoloured)

This sketch really took my heart away. 

I didn't expect it to be like this when i begun sketching. 

This is the image of a child lying down, hiding and crying. 

My idea is that she just saw something really terrifying. 

While i was scetching, my mind kept turning to all these kids who live in terror either because of war or because of family issues or because of something else. All of those kids who are suffering every day living in fear.

So this sketch is what came out of all of these thoughts. 

I don't think i'm going to colour it. I like it better like this.

"Normality 

is a paved road. 

It's comfortable to walk, 

but no flowers grow on it."

Shades of grey wrist warmers

:-P
I don't think i've made grey wrist warmers before. 

So i made these this time. 

I used the seed stitch again (i really like it) and needles number 3.5
