Free Printable: my first Fairy Tales Oracle Cards
I have wanted to create Fairy Tales Oracle Cards for a very long time. I know the theme, I know what I want to do, and what I want to share, but the last question, the one about the illustration, and the style, was the one that stopped me. Finally, one day, I decided to jump, took a lot of paper and my pen. Outside, in the garden, I started to draw and draw, and at the end, I had around 20 cards. It was a prototype, but the important point was that it was a direction! I’ve decided to release my cards step by step, without the explicative booklet…

But what do you put in a Vegetarian Sandwich?
Recently, I went to different events where food was served. I was super excited, and when I saw the food, I couldn’t find a single vegetarian option. I was surprised, and when I heard someone asking “What do you put in a vegetarian sandwich? I was confused. I don’t want to force people to become vegetarians themselves, but I also know that we can’t continue eating meat/fish at every meal. So vegetarian options should be the casual option, should be the thing by default, and the other ones should just be there sometimes, not all the time! When I got back home, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I…

Illustrating a children’s book • Part 1: Discovering of the project
Illustrating a children’s book may seem simple, but the reality is quite different. Several months ago, I began working on a “big” project: an illustrated children’s book titled The Adventures of the Teenies Weenies. Now that it’s finished, I am so pleased to present it to you. I want to create a series of posts to take you along with me on this long journey, sharing each step, my challenges, successes, and advice. Discovering of the project Like most of my projects, this one came to me through my network. Someone was looking for an illustrator to bring to life the texts his grandmother had written about forty years ago.…

Do you want to build a… Gingerbread character?
When I manage to stay connected to the present moment, I love the end of the year. Very easily, my mind can get caught up in the storm of festivities and gifts, and I gently remind myself to reconnect with my breath and the simple things. 💕 So, I felt like preparing a little Christmas coloring, very simple, and some small gingerbread characters to decorate. The nice touch was to print them on cardboard paper for a ‘biscuit’ look. I then glued it onto a cardboard to reinforce it and added a ribbon to hang it up. 🎄 I wish you a beautiful week.

How do I create a magazine cover?
I love magazines that combine the beauty of illustrations with subjects that are dear to me. Respire magazine, Open Mind, and Flow magazines are on this list, surrounded by many others. Inspired by their work, which I find magnificent, I felt like creating my magazine cover using my illustrations. This gives them a new dimension that I adore. Here is the beginning of my process: I painted my character following an autumnal color code. The lines were done in ink with a dip pen and the colors were in watercolor. With the completed character, my next step is to find and arrange the perfect composition to showcase the illustration. And…
