Svitlyk

Hello! My name is Svitlana.

I'm an artist from Ivano-Frankivs'k (beautiful city near the Carpathian Mountains)
I spend a lot of time drawing illustrations for children's books.
If you are curious, you can find my work on my Facebook page :)
I enjoy weaving, gardening and creating beautiful things by hands.

I am interested in many things that make me happy or inspire me. Here are just a few of them:

- folklore, ethnography, mythology
- national clothes and textiles, fabric painting, hand block printing of textiles, weaving and embroidery of the world (carpets, rugs, clothing, accessories, etc.)
- Middle Ages
- steampunk
- birds (especially owls:))
- amphibians, reptiles
- butterflies, dragonflies, beetles
- mushrooms, moss, fungus, lichen
- herbarium, natural history illustrations
- forest, thicket, bayou, gardens,
- drawn fantastic characters (gnomes, dwarves, trolls, goblins, elves, fairies...)
- illustrations by Beatrix Potter, Jean-Baptiste Monge, John Bauer, Lennart Helje, Inge Löök, Brian Froud, Tony DiTerlizzi, Cicely Mary Barker, Marjolein Bastin, Basil Ede...
- Pre-Raphaelites
- flora & fauna maxicards

I am collecting stamps depicting the flora, fauna and national clothes. So I would be very grateful if you could use one or several on your postcard :)

But not a problem if you can't find a card from my wishlist - I will be happy to receive any card from you! :)
Thank you in advance for taking the time and effort to send me a postcard!

Happy postcrossing!
