DANCE AROUND THE MAYPOLE What a lovely week it h

DANCE AROUND THE MAYPOLE

What a lovely week it has been. At the children’s school there was excitement in the air. Dances were practiced, cakes were baked and white clothing was being swapped, borrowed and mended.

Last year I started to draw up a series of postcards inspired by Waldorf celebrations and hopefully I will finish all the yearly festivals soon.

There are so many little symbols to discover in this illustration. Like the paper flower crowns: They are handmade out of paper as they remind us of our essence as human beings: Creation. We are called to use our heart, head and hands to make the world a little more beautiful.

The coloured ribbons tell us that all our lives are intertwined. We simply can not weave a meaningful life without each other.…

The symbol of the white dove stands for a Higher power: A guidance through life. This is why so many white birds appear in fairytales, they are to lead the way.

I'm really looking forward to see the kids dance around the pole. Tissues anyone? A friend once said: This celebration reminds us that there is innocence in this world, that there is good and light to be found. I’d like to think she is right….

Feel free to share this post. I wish you a beautiful day!

Instagram reminded me that today is exactly 3 year

Instagram reminded me that today is exactly 3 years ago since I finished painting this little duo.

I had just become comfortable in my role as a young mother, and it felt important to explore and express the bond between humans and animals.

I thought it was a great way to support my little ones in their exploration of the animal world. I really wanted them to feel comfortable and not to be afraid of any species.

I could also see myself standing in front of a painting, holding my little one and sharing tiny stories and giggles. Made total sense back then. Still does actually.

I’m leaning towards the idea to start painting more animals soon. I think my style has evolved a lot, so it will be interesting to see how they will turn out. What do you think?

There are still a few beautifully printed A3 size prints in the webshop available. There’s a link in the bio above. Thank you so much for your support of small businesses.

With love,

Iris Esther

And now that Mother’s Day is approaching rather quickly, I thought it would be nice to share some last-minute art gift suggestions with you to honor and celebrate that special caring person in your life.

Here are some of my personal favorites that could make a real lovely present in a frame or a thoughtful card to accompany some pretty flowers.

Please follow the link in bio and don’t hesitate to let me know if you need wrapping. You can leave a comment in the checkout section of the webshop. Happy to wrappy!

BLESSED EARTH DAY!

What if we looked at the world through the eyes of our inner child? What if we gazed at the earth with their curiosity and amazement?

I guess we would be able to see the magic, love and mystery of the smallest things again…. Don’t you think so too?

Tulip season….. Deep under the ground, beneath

Tulip season…..

Deep under the ground, beneath the roots of trees lives a little Flower Folk. After sleeping during the cold winter Mother Nature wakes them up…. And when they are done tending to the hibernating animals, they slowly start to come above ground to show their pretty flowers to the world. And now tulip season has started, you can’t get more Dutch, now can you?

This little Tulip child is part of a serie of 8 Flower Folk postcards that will arrive on your doorstep in a cute box, a great gift to yourself or someone who could use some flowers in their life.

Anyone who tells you the fairytale
isn't real hasn't found it yet,
or they settled for less.
but that is their story, not yours.

let yourself believe in your fairytale.

And again I couldn't think of a better title, but hope you can appreciate a little movie quote..

"Hello little friend" is also part of the springtime collection. Besides sending a card to a loved one, all greeting cards from the shop fit really well in a small frame. They are printed on beautiful lightly structured paper, which gives it a real ‘painting’ feeling. I’m such a sucker for beautiful paper…

So if you are looking for some last-minute Easter decor, just hop to the shop. Yes, I said that out loud…. 😂
