mother's day

The meringue cake with butter cream on the picture. I did 2 meringue bisquits using 3 egg whites and 150 g (5.29 oz) sugar. Put a bakery paper on the pan, bake in oven with 110 °C or 230 °F. When bisquits were ready and cooled, then I spread a butter cream between the bisquits, put them together and spread the top with the cream too. Then sprinkle with walnuts.

Happy Mother's Day to all my readers and guests!

botanical serie journals

This is our new serie of handmade journals - Botanical. The journals are made of natural linen fabric with a picture, that is drawn with black textile marker. We tried different kinds of markers to be sure, that is waterresistent and long lasting on textile with good quality. We found that "Pilot" marker made in Japan is perfect for our requirements. 

On the picture above is the "Poppy journal" filled with blank white paper, that is great for writing and sketching, included some pages in brown.

Another journal named "Botanical" is inspired also from nature

.. and filled with lined paper, included some pages in ivory color.

Now we try to draw some beetles and insects.
