Tales of Mere Existence






Sunny day today, finally :) And inspiration came along in the form of a long awaited delivery, straight from California: Lev Yilmaz's book - Sunny Side Down, personally signed. Yuppy, I am so happy :) The book represents the 4th and latest publication of talented Lev. He is the one man show in his comic series, drawing, writing, narrating, editing all his videos and books :) With a lot of humor, acid observations and funny stories, Lev's art helps us getting over a difficult day, or at least this is what I feel. If you are still not familiar with his art, feel free to check his Youtube channel here:


Enjoy, XX :)

Morning flavor (sketch/drawing)


Hello, birdies :) I felt like sharing this drawing with you, to cheer up your mornings :) 
I wish I had more time for drawing these days, though. Recently I have discovered this band, they sound like a female version of Mumford and Sons, hope you like them. 
Kiss, kisses from the Other Side of Wonderland :)

Little hedgehog (sketch)








Unfortunately these days I don't have so much time for drawing as I would like. As the new semester began, I find it more and more approachable to sketch something during classes :) Here it's today's product. Hope I will have time to improve it. Aaa, and of course the sweetest Russian cartoons:

Savanna Metamorphosis (drawing/charcoal)


A new year has to start with a change. And in this case with a bit of metamorphosis :) 
The song is there not because it fits particularly, but because Deftones was/is one of my fav. bands ever!

DIY - Peter Pan Collar

Hello there :) I have decided to do a DIY tutorial or at least try to do it. Object of work: peter pan sequin collar. Why? Because I keep seeing them in shops, but I cannot let myself gone with the flow and buy one. Soooo, I went to a marvellous shop filled with all possible goodies to sew and bought the fabric. Next, it is easy.
Draw the shape of the collar you want on a piece of cardboard, cut it out. Take whatever piece of old cloth you don't use anymore and cut the shape of the collar into it. You will need two pieces of the same size of this fabric. Then sew the sequin fabric together with the oldie but goldie material you decided to use. I sacrificed a dear tshirt :) Here, just like in the next photos:





Next step was a little bit tricky since I had to sew through the cardboard, but I managed, well, without 
pinching my fingers too much :) 


Following, I sewed the other part of fabric on the other side of the cardboard together with the collar. When you are done, it should look like this: 


I was not sure whether to add a button or ribbon, so I sewed a button underneath the collar. Maybe for the  next one I will change my mind and choose ribbon. Finally I added these cute little buttons I bought: fox terrier buttons :) So it looks like this: 


And of course, for the moment, the happiest to wear it is Teddy :


Hope you liked it and will try to do your own collars too. Waiting for your comments and impressions :)
