Years ago I didn’t have any wrapping paper left, it was the day before Christmas and I had to wrap the presents for my nephews and niece. The only thing left was brown paper, the one you would use to prepare a parcel. I wrapped the presents with it, but I thought they were too boring for kids and had the idea to decorate them accordingly…

It was a bigger success with the adults than with the kids, but nonetheless, a success. Since then, I always personalise the wrapping paper of the presents I do (although hand writing is not my thing yet).

Tools of choice: MÅLA paper roll from IKEA, ShinHanart’s TOUCH markers, Royal Talens Ecoline markers, Pelikan watercolours, Edding Pigment liner 1880 and MATAVENI coloured pencils.
