One of the walls

This is where I take all the shadow box photos for my parents Etsy shop Heezome. 👀

This one is a perfect home for my miniature matryoshka dolls.

Little star

A baby card with gold foil printing.

See some in progress photos here.

Mermaid birthday

Another birthday card from my new collection 🌴

For the love of mermaids, sea and sparklers! 

Old Passport

My first passport with my mom and sister.

I was under one year old and my tongue is sticking out!

I guess it wasn't easy to take a baby passport photo! 

Old world

These days I find inspiration in the old-world. I love to use their design elements or
color palettes and come up with a fresh twist on them.

Doodle on banana

Doodled on banana and ate it too 🍌 

despite the fact that bananas make me itchy 😐

Easter eggs

Hope you had a great Easter weekend 🐣 I've covered these small eggs
with gold leaf. Love their contrast with plain white eggs. 

Booth walls

These are my booth walls, made by my talented dad.
Now we have to paint them and add shelves and signage/logo.

Almost 5 weeks to National Stationery Show.
We are planning to drive there and take these walls with us!

Bird of Paradise

A few favorites. 

I pressed those yellow flowers about 10 years ago,
they have extra long red stamens and yellow petals and are gorgeous when fresh.

I just googled and found out that their name is "Caesalpinia Gilliesii"!!

According to Wikipedia they are native to tropical America, mainly Argentina and Uruguay.
But I got them from Iran.

Birthday Cake

Soon to be a birthday card. It looks kind of empty right now but

lots of gold foil details will be added later.

Florals

A few botanical sketches

Ranunculus beauties,
a photo I took a few years ago around the same time of the year.

Tiny doodles

Water droplets on our window looked so pretty during sunrise that I had to take their photo 💦
Birdie is a pencil doodle and I Photoshopped it there.

What I found inside a fortune cookie
 +
 a little watercolor doodle I did while talking to my mom on the phone.

April Birthday

Happy Birthday to all born in April!

If you're an April girl you will love this song.

My Peacock Birthday card now has luxurious gold foil all over it.

More cards to come soon!

Mermaid on the map

This little mermaid is holding a sparkler which I still haven't finished painting

I have to confess that 80% of the time I paint in the kitchen.
Our kitchen is small but has a relatively big counter which
 is perfect for spreading stuff all over it.

 This is a fun invitation that I'm making for my upcoming Trade show
(The National Stationery Show).

Pink Daffodil

A little spring daffodil. I've used a mix of watercolor and gouache for this one. 

You're a gem

Today I did a little gouache painting of my angel quartz and

love how the pastel colors came together. 

On my table

Sometimes a messy table can be inspiring;
the colors come together by coincidence
 and create an interesting palette

Cards and more cards!

12 new cards are going for print tomorrow!
 8 of them have gold foil details.
 I think my website will be ready in about a month from now
 and I will let you know here.

Monkey birthday

Another greeting card from my new collection.
Love how the gold shines on pink.
Shop will open soon!
