Something personal: I have been wanting to use different mediums to express my current state of mind and put some real Girl Power 💎 thoughts out in the world through works of art. But having always worked for very talented people or made projects as part of a collaboration, I am completely new to creating something just based on my own thoughts and ideas. Does anyone have advice on starting new artwork from scratch? Now that I have the opportunity to work on my own, there are just so many options and possibilities, where does one start? Theses stop-motion videos that I made are a perfect example of how I procrastinate: I tend to do ‘1-day’ projects instead of focusing on the thought process. Can anyone relate to this? 🌸🌿🐇 71 3

Looking back on projects that I actually use in my everyday life. This before/after Ikea sofa (for which I designed this floral fabric) has been my proudest gem and still puts a smile on my face.🌸🌷🌺🌿🥀🌹 162 9

Who else is missing all the colourful flowers on these dark rainy days? A few months ago I made this Floral Window Decal in preparation for these months, and I am so happy that I did! I made a whole bunch of them, so you can also enjoy some floral vibes on your window and/or mirrors! 61 3
