Hello dear reader!
It’s been a while since I wrote here and thought to share what I have been up to since last post in August & bring some updates and announcements.
After successful kickstarter campaign (from mid. Aug to Sept.) featuring my newest book ‘‘Birds in Colour’’ I was getting everything ready for book printing and fulfilling all the rewards. I am so grateful that so many of you decided to pledge and support my dream of publishing a book. I have listed it on my website and it is available to purchase it here.
In October I was participating in group exhibition together with
You can see video here featuring exhibition and other bits from this time of the year.
And I also did host a drawing challenge through October called Calmtober. Here is little spread featuring Moth girl and Oil lamp.
And then I spent one month in my home county Latvia - packing around 140 books and spending time with family.
Two weeks ago I returned back in my art studio corner by the Cornish fields and had my newest shop update. Here are some of new products I am selling over there - New greetings cards designs, postcards, book, bookmarks, stickers, A5 art prints. I also have listed 12 original artworks from the ‘‘Birds in Colour’’ book.
If you live in the UK and order till 17th of December It should arrive to your place before Christmas. International orders - if you order now you will probably receive the parcel after Christmas or New year.
I want to also share shipping information to the EU over here.
As you might have heard from other small UK businesses there will be new GPSR guidelines regarding shipping from UK to EU. And with a heavy heart I have to announce that I will stop shipping to the EU and Northern Ireland from Etsy and Website until I figure how to move onwards. Previously I managed to ship using Etsy but now I fear that if I do any incorrect way of shipping I might be fined. My Etsy store is still open for Europe till 11th of December 2024 when I will close it for EU & Northern Ireland. If you live in Europe and wanted to order something. Now is the last chance to do so! If you wish to order something from my Website where there is more choice let me know (write to -artkristiana@gmail.com) and I will make special listing for you on Etsy. Here is my Etsy & Website
I do have physical reward on my Patreon (curious foxes tier) where I ship new artwork every month. Now I will ship every month to UK & International (except EU) and my mum will help me with shipping rewards to EU Patreons once every 3 months. Thank you so much for understanding!

It’s 10th of December now and so far December has been filled with order packing, video filming and painting here and there. I want to spend some time in December experimenting a bit more on themes of my next book I plan to work on next year.
Hope all is well and have a Merry Christmas & Happy new year!
