Another screen-printed pillow (the first one I made is in the back). This time in yellow, for one of my dear friends who celebrated his birthday recently. Yup, many birthdays' among my family and friends at this time of year... one needs to stay full of ideas. :)

Since we were kids my older and only brother loves Lego blocks so Ram and I surprised him with  a Creationary game for his birthday today. And as I do very often last years I made my own wrapping paper just for this occasion. I made his "lego portrait" stamp and use it to make a pattern with it. I was happy to see the result and mostly that he liked it. Happy birthday again bro! :)

Oh and speaking of homemade wrapping paper, look at this gorgeous one that Geninne made. Waw!

Isn't it ironic to catch a cold and a fever when it's so hot outside already? Here am I, wearing socks and drinking hot tea, lying down watching movies... Third day and it's boring already but I hope I will feel better soon. :) Meanwhile I'd love to hear what you've been up to!(?)

Alessandra from La casita blog is organizing a "Knots collective" pop-up shop which will happen in London during the Design week. "Relationships to me are like knots:  to tie or untie as you make your way through life, it is for this reason that I have included in this space the work of other artists and crafters to whom I feel a connection" she explained over at her beautiful Knots shop. So you see, I am very happy and honored to participate in this event even though I unfortunately will not be physically present. If you are near don't miss it... I am sure it will be great! 

Alessandra is planning to introduce all participants on her blog and today you can read my interview here. :)

It's nice to  stay inside thanks to our air conditioning device otherwise it's too hot to live... and they say the temperatures will rise to 42°C!!? I don't know if that's true but I will spend most of my time inside regardless since I have to study for my profesional examination...

I hope you're having a nice time, stay tuned, I have some great news to share soon! :)

Time flies!!! It's been three years since I've started Talking to volcano or better - since I've been talking to you. Thank you all so much, you make this blog a happy place!

To celebrate a little I prepared a small GIVEAWAY in the sign of number three. So... there will be three winners and each will receive a set of three magnets with my design. :) If you would like to participate just leave a comment bellow. You have time until next Tuesday. 

ps: I borrowed this photo of my magnets from Alessandra's post because it's perfect for this opportunity (Happy birthday Volcano and Takk you so very much indeed!). :)

Today I visited Alina, a painter from Latvia which moved to Slovenia 7 years ago when we also met and became friends instantly. We live in the same town now and this is her family's garden. Unfortunately we spent only few minutes outside since it was too hot but enough that her adorable son gave me a small cherry tomato as a gift and she picked some peaches for me.

Nina was the one who suggested I should do something for the LABL's Me, Myself and I zine and she was the one who sent it to me because I couldn't join the Caffeine hours festival/fair. And I also received a bonus - two amazing zines made by her. Yes, I am lucky I know. :) Thank you Nina and also guys from LABL! My small contribution is the black and white self-portait (photos 3,4,5 on the left) but if you want to see more or buy it check it out here.
