The "Wrath Project"

A few months before the beginning of 2015 I started feeling a certain amount of anger and wrath burning inside me. It felt weird because I rarely get really angry. These moments were coming and going... 
A couple of months ago the same thing started happening, plus there were moments that I was feeling angry towards others (with reason, but Ι was over-reacting sometimes).
I thought that I should do something about my anger..... and I chose to focus all my negative feelings on canvases instead of people.

That was the beginning of the "Wrath Project"....
and that's my completed project of mixed media (I mainly used blades, fire and the color red).....

"Intimacy"


Photo of the day!


3 years of "Daily Art by Angelina"!




Three years ago, on June 26th (like today) I opened my "Daily Art by Angelina" shop on Etsy.
The first items I uploaded for sell were a bunch of statement necklaces and earrings made of Pyssla beads. Liquid glass, more beads, cartoon patterns, lots of felt, vintage button and a great amount of tulle were the next things to come for "Daily".

The basic thought of opening my shop was to see if I could sell the things I was creating. And I chose the name "Daily Art" because I had set the goal that one day I would be able to add more of my art and crafts on my shop (drawings, photography,etc).


Having "Daily" has been very educating, helped me mature as a personality, made me even more creative and has given me many moments of happiness (oh, the great feeling you have when someone has chosen to buy an item you made). Of course, running a small business isn't easy (at all) and there are nights of bad sleep, moments and days of anxiety.

Recently I took the next step and added photography prints, collages and drawings to my shop and it feels very nice to look at it and see my goal becoming reality!



"Daily" is something I created from scratch, and today is in its best version so far, thanks to hard work, my customers and all the people that helped and keep helping along the way (thank you so much!!).


So, let's celebrate today and go on waiting (and working) for the great things to come!

"Burn down the world" (a poem)


I will burn down the world
And create a new one to live for
I will burn down the world
And all the ugliness hidden in its core

I will use fire
to warm up each frozen soul
I will use fire
to warm up this entire world

I will burn down the world
And help every disturbed soul
I will burn down the word
And recreate it starting from my own soul
