Preparation
It's a busy week. I painted another versions of my masks for the upcoming Halloween. Hopefully we'll have a costume party. Though I doubt we can make it better, than this one.

Books from childhood
Accidentally we found a second-hand bookshop. I had to grab the book illustrated by May Miturich - one of the most remarkable Russian illustrators of books for children. Almost each and every child in USSR had at least one book with his drawings.

Published
I've got that issue of Kids magazine with my work inside. I like to see it published, not because of my self-esteem, but to be sure it looks good on paper, colors are the same as I see them on my screen and everything's ok.
Stuart Kolakovic's works are funny, 'coz of the Russian typography he likes to use. Confidentially speaking some of them are gibberishes and it makes me chuckle.

Nota bene
Sometimes it's just a storage for useful links.

Beatrice Alemagna about Italian Publishing (pretty much reminds of Russian)

Everyday magic
It seems things can't be better. We were talking with Vanya Velichko and Masha Krasnova-Shabaeva one night. The red wine was there too! And today in the middle of a street one unknown girl gave me flowers. I also saw an elderly man talking with a girl, she was laughing and they had a good time together. But I'm sure 5 minutes ago they were complete strangers.
Also the loveliest Beatrice Alemagna finally opened her site. Hooray!

All day inspiration
It was nice to know Niki de Saint Phalle's life size dolls were generally created from papier mâché. Probably I'd go over papier mâché again to create something more impressive than masks.

St. Basil's cathedral
Staring with wide-open eyes at the inside fittings and frescoes of the rooms of St. Basil's cathedral I thought it's a pity I can't name my blog "Wow! Russia!" and write about my exploration of the sights and everyday life here. The point is one of our students already made her own Wow Russia and it's really very funny and witty. Well, at least I can make a pattern based on St. Basil's frescoes, here it is. The original one is much better, I know, but it's always worth trying.

Wahoo
To spent Sunday at the Botanical garden was absolutely necessary. Autumn is the most colorful season here. I took in some color for the winter.

Who ate Toby
This set of matreshkas is dedicated to Toby, one of Gary Baseman's characters. The most dangerous dramatis personae of Russian fairy tales - a bear, a wolf and a fox - met Toby in the forest. God knows where he's now!
Malota's matreshkas look more friendly

Base man
Gary Baseman is in Moscow these days. He's like a sparking-plug. An excellent example of how you'd live your life.
