Today I stumbled on an illustration by the artist Lia Selina. It turns out that under this pseudonym the young Russian girl Yulia Selina hides. She makes toys, loves to draw and take pictures. Here's what she says about herself: "I like fairy tales and purple color, witches' hats and trees, fairies and bugs, to come up with characters or to portray someone long ago invented. And I can't help but paint. Paint for myself, to order, for children or for adults who believe in miracles. My inspiration comes from nature — flowers, trees, birds, wind and water."

She has a lot of wonderful characters, whom she calls "creatures" — they are charming little fairies. And awesome handmade toys.

I want to show you a series of her photos. They show Julia as a talented photographer. She has so many works that the format of the publication does not let me put even a hundredth part of what I would like to share with you.

Pleasant viewing.

Thank you for viewing! Happy holidays and upcoming New Year :)
