I Am Grateful – a Journal Page by Monika Dabrowska-Ejmont

Lulu Art Store

MonikaIt’s the end of the year already!  Really?!!  It snuck up on me! Too fast! Too quick! So much happened this year, so much changed! I learnt a lot, I pushed my boundaries a few times and I grew from it 🙂 I acquired lots of new art supplies too :), one new kitten 🙂 and I made new friends.

Did I make time to stop and reflect about it? To be thankful for what I have in my life? To cherish all the beautiful people in my life?  Not always, not everyday!  But I am trying to make it in to a good habit because it keeps me focused, keeps me sane, reminds me to be happy now!

Art keeps me sane and happy too, so I thought – why not combine both and create myself a reminder of how amazing life really is 🙂  I have sooooo much to be grateful for every day, month, year!

For me my Journal is a perfect place for it as I am spending lots of time flicking through it, playing, writing in it.
Maybe it is something you would like to do too ?

Baby Dragon by Monika Dabrowska-Ejmont

Yes! For sure! My life is so much more interesting inside my head!

I can be a princess every day of the week! Or the month or the year! Or I can be the evil Witch…for some of the time 🙂

Dragons, kittens, puppies, fairies, angels, butterflies, bit naughty children and bit ugly trolls are peacefully existing together , we are having fun, we are going on adventures! Goodness me! The stories I can make up inside my head!!!  And the colours of it!

I wish you could come and visit me there sometimes :)… Maybe one day … So this journal page is like a postcard I am sending to you from there.

Wild Woman Journal Page by Monika Dabrowska-Ejmont

Lulu Art Store

MonikaI heard about a book called Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés a few years back from my friend Denise Daffara, but than life was happening in the mean time and I never picked it up to read it. Then my friend Lisa took me to see a beautiful singer called Snez performing at a house concert. I bought her CD and fell in love with her music. I also read her blog and learnt that one of her songs was inspired by that book I had wanted to read! This is the song I love!

So I did read the book ! And I really liked it, it’s inspiring. I especially like the old legends she refers too!

And it amazes me how the  things which we should have or see or hear are finding a way to come to us. Sometimes it just takes bit longer. And it’s amazing how people inspire each other every day.

Thank you to all of you beautiful people around me for inspiration, love, encouragement. Hope I can do the same for you .

So here she is the Wild woman in me.

MonikaHi Monika here 🙂

Don’t you wish sometimes you could be a water creature? Everything in that world sparkles, shimmers and flows.

Maybe I should be the mermaid …

maybe the water horse …

maybe a gracious dolphin?

Maybe not for all the time but for a day in my life I would love to be one of them. For now I can just dream and paint my dreams. I hope you enjoy my project today called Little Mermaid.  It’s painted over three small canvases.

Pretty Journal Cover by Monika Dabrowska-Ejmont

Lulu Art Store

MonikaHello!   It’s Monika again 🙂

There was lot of sewing going on in my house lately.  So I got inspired by it. My mumma does it, 🙂  I just watch, admire the colours and touch and feel fabrics, laces, buttons. And I always wonder how it would look if I paint over that pattern or this one?  How paint will behave itself on it? What texture I will end up with? What else I can throw on it? 

So I decided to give it a go!  I made a journal ( notebook, book) cover. You can put on one journal and when you are done with it, you can transfer it on another.  Hope you like it.

Seeking the True Treasure by Monika Dabrowska-Ejmont

Lulu Art Store

MonikaShe is like the cloud of shimmering beauty drifting in the depths of the ocean.

She is the seeker!   She is curious!   She is determined!

She is fragile looking, translucent and dreamy but strong at the same time!

That is how, I think, my story would start… and I am sure she would meet a sweet underwater kitty somewhere along the way.

Who knows maybe she can be my friend?

Today while I write this, the whole rain thing is making my mind float away to nice places .  Or maybe it’s just this yummy blue Celedon Silks acrylic glaze that has me inspired?!

Soooo ladies and gentleman! Here she is and she is ” Seeking the true treasures”.

Birdy Princess by Monika Dabrowska-Ejmont

Lulu Art Store

Hi beautiful arty souls!

MonikaIt’s Monika here with my new Lulu Art design team project. But first I have small confession to make … so … If you didn’t realise it yet … I think I am addicted to black and white stripes!  Everywhere!  Stripy dresses, cardigans, handbags, jewellery (I am on the hunt now for nice big, black and white cushions for my red couch) . This is what I packed for this weekend away 🙂 and when I looked around my art room, most of the girls I painted have stripy tops. Maybe I was a zebra in a previous life?

So just to feed my addiction – here she is – Birdie Princess on the Stripy Hills 🙂
