The new book "The Adventure of a Water Droplet Pally"


A new concept in paper quilling is a children's book with quilling artwork illustrations!


Quilling, also known as paper filigree, it has been around since the Renaissance age, but I was only recently introduced to it by my friend. This art of cutting and curling narrow strips of paper and laying them on edge to form intricate filigree designs sparked my interest and I found it fun and pretty relaxing. 

When Karina, the young artist, suggested making artwork illustration in paper quilling for our ecological fairytale about water drop, I was happy. But I cannot even imagine what a talented artist can do with just a few colorful strips of paper.

To see the fairytale with quilling artwork illustrations one feels like a MIRACLE!



  I’m a fairy taller and the author of the numerous children's books but I haven’t seen the illustrations for the children books as impressive as quilling artwork illustrations made by Karina. They are really magic, fairy and brilliantly introduce the conception of the book.




Quilling artwork illustrations give the book a magnificent look!  These artwork illustrations for the children book take quilling in the whole new level.  
This is the first our children book illustrated by the talented artist Karina. Now she is at work on the next book "The Golden Bee" about healing property of honey, and I can't wait to see her next artwork. 


with love, author

Magic portrait and old door ))


Sometimes I feel myself boring…I don’t know what exactly I should to do, but… I start to looking for something new. And I ask myself: What do you want? I sort in my head all activities I know.  One day I feel that I have great wish to try paint on glass. And these photos represent my first  efforts in this field :-) I used acrylic paints for glass.

This is Masha and her Inspiration )) 

This is our old door. I try to refresh it ))

About hobby...

"We can do more than imagine, we can create."
 Any action suppose two steps: imagination and creation. One of these can't be without another one... A lot of people can only imagine ( it's already great! ) but human beings are created in order to create. And through this creative process we open our inner skills and talents, it gives sense to our life. If we have sense we are not empty. The Sense gives us Happiness. And we are created to be happy!
I will  show you the beautiful talents of my friends. I hope you will share their happiness with them. Maybe it will inspire you to do something in your way! ;-))

Funny hand made


Our dear Masha is the painter, I think, you know that. But as creative person she sometimes do artworks not only on canvas but on furniture and flowerpots! It’s really funny to make hand made things and also they have absolutely unique energy. Hand made artworks through their colors, style, materials open to us inner essence of the creator! Show me what you do and I said you who are you! ;-)) 

It was old wood table...
