Sweet memories of a tram ride in Prague:


The Eiffel Tower

A trip to Paris can be a dream, a present, a symbol of travelling, or a card:

Valentine's Day - Cinema Tickets (1)

The card can be used for presenting tickets if you are going to the cinema on a Valentine's Day. Well, the ones on the front have already been used, so you will have to supply new ones...

Bougenville Flowers in the Shade, 2011

Memories of Crete, 2011

The front side of the card is decorated with a bougenville flower, brought from the island of Crete last summer and, botanically speaking, turned into a herbarium. The back side is a political hint - the flag of Greece.

Commercial break: if you have never been to Crete, it's definitely worth visiting.

Invitation to the Evening of Russian-German Friendship, 2009

Actually I got married twice - to one and the same man. Once in Cologne and three months later in Moscow, right before moving to my twice-husband in Germany.
The event dedicated to Russian-German friendship started with our German guests arriving in the Russian capital on a sightseeing tour and then sharing tables with our Russian kith and kin at a German restaurant.

Cologne Wedding Invitation, 2008

Following crafted greeting cards for close friends who are always tolerant to my creative impulses, invitations to my own wedding to be held in Cologne were the first attempt to reveal my creation to the public at large.

What really mattered was to make each and every guest feel special by attending this occasion.

Many thanks to my wise advisor and mentor who, having suggested decorating paper rings inside the card with spangles and diamonds, was simultaneously guiding me through another crafting process.
And here you can shoot a glance at the 8 invitations' creation process reluctantly supervised by my cat:
