Hello! My name Kristiāna and I'm an illustrator from Latvia living in the UK/ Cornwall. Kriksis is my nickname and it means something between crumble and small piece. I want to inspire other artists and just be a cozy channel where you can return and feel welcomed. I share how I create artworks, behind the scenes of day to day life and chat about art materials. Grab yourself a cup of tea and enjoy. Kriksis

Writing Ink✒ I love your videos Kriksis, they are always so atmospheric and relaxing to watch. Your Sendak roll and writing ink look gorgeous and i'm in love with your mini sketchbooks😍 Thank you for sharing🙏
I love the smaller art roll and will definitely be thinking about a birthday present for myself… coincidentally on September 3! Thanks for sharing, your enthusiasm is joyful 😊
Picture book. This was brilliant glad I discovered your channel laughed about you buying books you can’t read but completely do the same it’s just such visual good for the soul I would love another video with your picturebook recommendations loved the books shown thank you
Hi Krises, I want to thank you for your color mixing video! I have the Windsor & Newton Gouache too but I was never really using them, so I used some of your color mixing recipes and they turned out great! I'm going to take my palette out with me next time to sketch. I always Love your color combinations! Thanks again! Sara
Hello there from Wisconsin, USA! I just gifted myself some Peg & Awl items this month as well! I got the Sendak roll as part of my purchase and I love it! I had my items in my cart for months...I finally purchased them, and I couldn't be happier! I had just as much fun stocking up my Sendak roll with my art supplies and taking it out on the first few plein air trips. Enjoy your lovely gifts! They are gorgeous. I am so, so happy for you!
Loved how you set up your Sendak! I have the exact same one 😊 I tend to overpack mine and then I struggle to balance it when I’m out sketching. I have a similar color palette, I’m going to follow your lead and repack it.
I wonder how many Sendak rolls will be ordered after watching this video. You are the first person who has shown how to put just the right amount of materials in the role, while keeping it slim for travel. Writing Ink!
Wow! I just discovered you and your art and I absolutely adore it! Everything about this video is so comforting and cozy, I can't really describe it. The aesthetics of it, I could watch this forever :) I will definitely go to your Etsy shop and gift myself something from it <3 Edit: Just ordered the cup stickers :3 they will vastly improve the look of my kitchen. Loves from Germany <3
Writing ink,and what lovely ink it is,like it's chameleon like qualities on different papers.I love that you have yourself and advanced birthday gift of the Peg & Awl sendak roll and that it made you so happy.i like the two little sketchbooks you made that fit in so perfectly.You've made a brilliant travel kit.Lively to see it in use and to see the outdoor sketches/studies in both sketchbooks. (Matt) P.s I love the extended landscape format of the second sketchbook you made,it's inspired me to try making one myself. I also love little vintage tins for keeping art supplies in and the way you have the washi tape is a great little idea as well. Might just have to order a sendak roll......
You should always treat yourself on your birthday ! i treated myself to the larger Sendak after receiving some money for Christmas - love the products - great video as always
‘Writing Ink’ … great video. The smaller Peg & Awk Sandak is perfect and didn’t realise they had one in this size. Your colour choices always inspire me.
