last two weeks I got hooked on etching! never did it before, however i feel it's totally my technique. i sold some of them last week on a christmas market in the uni, and it was sooo exciting: the first time i was selling something i did. and more than that, it worked pretty good. that was my christmas present. i don't usually celebrate christmas but not this year, haha! oh digga it feels so nice here.

i've been studying in Hildesheim more than for a month and probably i should write something about my German university, HAWK. it's the name, and it has nothing to do with the bird. Hildesheim is so different from any other place where i have stayed for a long time. it's so small. and also it's the northternmost town i've been ever living in. it's very cloudy here, and the clouds look heavy. and my whole existence suddenly feels so heavy, too. last three years i was trying to get used to the Madridian sun, i succeeded in liking it but sometimes i couldn't help getting tired of it as well. that seemed too sunny, too bright and too happy at times. here, in the north i feel more home, though the weather is not welcoming. my german sucks pretty much so far, but it's okay for the moment. 

here is the project of ecological milk packaging for the illustration class i'm taking here. it's so funny and cool... the class, not the design. hm. but yes. design is funny too. also published on my Behance portfolio. 

i called the german embassy today, and they said i had to came back to Russia to apply for a german visa. papers, problems, papers, problems. anyways, i'm so so excited i'm going to the HAWK university on erasmus! my german is getting better every week, and this thursday i'm going to my first german language exchange. so nervous. 

2014, International Family Farming Year. a new project for my graphic design class.
