I am thinking to add more paper packs with new topics for this year, it’s something you would be interested?
If yes, please vote the survey here to pick your favourite themes (you can select more than one).

For next week I am planning to make a one week auction on Instagram, but I need you help!
Please follow this link and vote your favourite series – I will pick the artworks from the winning one.

Hi everyone,
it’s been a while! I promise that I will be more present on this platform and post more this year.
I will also start to insert some of my time lapse videos for you to enjoy, as this one 🙂
This is a time-lapse video about a quick tutorial on how to “paint” using the colourful washi tape (rice paper tape).
Enjoy!
After the creation of Gentlemen and Gentlewomen, I thought that I needed to complete this series with a bunch of kids. These are all collages on small round wood panels.
I used acrylic and gel pens over some vintage portraits mounted on the wood boards. As all the adults of the series, even these little fellas are “aliens from the future landed on Earth to teach the good manners to the human species”.
The American painter and mixed media artist Marie Cameron started this beautiful series, called #morerainbows!, during the pandemic.
Here’s what she describes this creative project:
My #morerainbows! series, which started during the pandemic, was a daily search for connection, hope, wonder and joy in which I embroidered silk rainbows onto found, vintage photographs. I felt the need for all of us to be able to see the rainbows in ourselves, in each other and in our world.
You can also find her on Instagram.
I have been involved in this exciting collaboration with the brand Stanley, where I had to “dress up” one of their products with a collage.
I never did anything like that before, so it was quite a challenge for me. The collab involved filming a commercial as well, so I was not sure if I could make it at first. I can say that despite the fears,
I am very happy that I tried something new, and also pleased with the final result. You can see what I have made on the video above, I hope you enjoy it!
I have prepped a couple of kits from my best seller prints. On this way you can create a mood wall art without breaking the bank.
The set available are the Vintage and the Fashion kits, with 10 different prints on each set. The dimension of the prints are A4 (21×29 cm, approx 8×11 inches).
This option is set to preorder and once I get at least 5-6 orders I will get them – go check them out clicking on this link.
Hi everyone, I just dropped this new product to preorder on my shop!
This is a monthly subscription collage kit with different options to choose from. From the month of October 2021 I will release a paper pack with the topic “Natural World“.
Natural World Collage Kit
Quarterly Subscription
In the gallery below I put some of the paper cuts that you will find on each kit. This is a sample gallery, because each pack will contain different papers, but the amount will be always the same. You can preorder yours HERE.
Please comment below for any additional question!
The Icelandic textile artist Ýr Jóhannsdóttir (better known as Ýrúrarí), gives a second chance and life to “forgotten sweaters” in the most creative way.
She creates colourful wearable art, soft sculptures with a story to tell. Her research is also a statement against consumption and the will to educate through art in reusing and recycling old stuff.
This is how she describes her creative research:
Her work is mostly knitted, where fragments of humor, body movements and the everyday meets in wool based, often wearable, objects. For the past years the importance of sustainability has had an impact to Ýrúrarí’s work.
In her latest projects “Sweater sauce”, “I would not do something like that” and Sleik-zine Ýrúrarí raises questions on our absurd consumption habits of textiles and tries out new ways of making unwanted clothes last longer as a one of a kind art- and design pieces.
Another one is out!
After the release of the recorded class From Fashion Ad To Protest, I thought to enrich the options with a new one – Abstract Pattern Design.
As the previous one, you can see the presentation preview on the video above and if you like it, you can download the complete version clicking here (you will receive a link by email after you make your order).
Enjoy!
