Hi, Bestiee ✨
Annelya’s here, and welcome to my online art home! 😁🩷
And now that you're here, I'd love to accompany you through this space 👭✨
Let's explore it together, and let's walk in while I tell you where it all started! 😁🫶
Where it all started? 👀🩷
Sooo, my interest in arts firstly sparked in my childhood, when I discovered some ways to entertain myself as a girl who got bored easily (who here can relate? 👀). And then I realised that all of it was actually a form of art, like…. drawing a dress for my paper doll, dressing up my Barbie, styling myself with my mom's or sister’s dress and scarves, decorating my room with flowers, and making some DIY crafts with my big sis, and so many more adventures back then! 😆
And yup, that's why I wanna be a fashion designer once I knew that career existed! 🤭🩷 I drew a lot of dresses and clothes, sometimes doodling or drawing on everything — on paper, on tissues, on my notebooks, and sometimes on my friends' books too (hehee, I love you my friends! 😭🫶)
My Craftsyy ✨
Now, I'm so grateful for everything as I live my dreams, do the things I love freely, and be open to how it all unfolds in the future. Here, I wanna share all of the things that make me light up, I hope it lights up your day too! (Sending you a BIG online hug!) 🙆♀️🤗🩷🩷
Fashion Illustrations
This is the very first and oldest thing I’ve loved to do since I was a kid. It's something that always makes me light up, and it's become my way to express every little thing I feel or see 🩷
I usually drew on paper whenever I had the opportunity to do it, lol. I remember doing it in class when I felt bored, or during rest time, in my bed, and actually everywhere I could find a paper, pen, and flat surface 😅🫶
It became my favorite job too — to draw dresses for my friendss, or when I shared the joy with them and let them color the dresses I sketched back then. I'm so happy it could bring a smile to their faces, and let their creativity spark too!
Now I do that on my digital canvas too and share it with you, my online friend! (or offline if we happen to meet someday 👀🫶). And I really hope it can bring the same effect on you and your dayss too! 🤗🫶✨💃
Pattern Designs
I always love seeing a pretty pattern on everything — on skirts, dresses, bags, books, curtains, and everything in between. So, I was so thrilled when I found out I could make them myself 🤭🩷
I started with a floral pattern, and it’s still my favorite pattern type to make. It became a new way for me to preserve the feelings, memories, or meanings that I want to express, remember, or bring along with me 🫶.
Then I took a pattern design course that unexpectedly appeared on my Instagram homepage, and that‘s the time I became kinda obsessed with drawing everything and turning it into a pattern, lol.
It‘s soo fun to discover new ways to make them and see everything look so harmonious in the pattern form, and yup, it still becomes my favourite activity till now! 😁😁🫶🫶
Dress - coming soon
I've always wanted to make a dress since I was thinking about being a fashion designer. It makes me keep drawing and designing too, with the hope in my heart that I'll make it in a physical form one day 😚🩷
Well, it was kinda diverse when I was a kid and teenager, starting from visioning Barbie dress, costume clothes (I had the spider woman and friendzz designs back then 💁♀️🕸️), runaway dress, and the everyday dress 👗
Don't get me wrong, I still love all of it and love how explorative I was with the design, hehee. It's just my style preference changes along the way, the same way as I found the life I want, and the feeling of home that always brings me peace and joy 🧘♀️🤍
I've realised too, that the dresses I design and envision now are mostly simple and comforting, something that brings the joy, warmth and homey feelings into everyday life. And that what makes this Annelya brand exist, to bring that same feeling into someone's life 🤗🩷
It'll mostly be the comfy flowy sundress I designed, with the exclusive floral pattern that I made, and some detailsss that I hope will help and make it extra comfiest 😚🤍. I'll let you know when it‘s launched here! 🤗🩷
Paintings
This one is the hobbies I tried in my college year, it's kinda new but not a new new 😁.
It‘s more like a reflective and relaxing form of art for me 🫶.
I usually paint with watercolor for fun, and just try acrylic and digital paintings too now, hehee.
And yup, I'm not a professional painter, and actually I didn’t think to share this at first, but then one day it just came to my mind, like… why not share it for fun too 😁✨
Like when I share what I make for my friend, maybe they love and want it too, or maybe they feel the same way like I feel when I made this piece. And maybe it'll give the fun in their day and their room too 😚🫶.
So, yeah, they‘re here now if you wanna see it! 👀🩷✨
Pictures
Okay, I know maybe it‘s kinda random to see this here, lol 😆
These are actually the pictures (mostly nature and random things) I take when I feel something inside.
Idk how to describe it well, but it's like when you see something interesting and beautiful to your eyes, you're amazed by it, and then you wanna capture it with ur camera, so you can see and remember it someday. Yeah, like that (iykyk) 😭🫶
And I don’t know when, but I guess since I had a smartphone for the first time, I started to take pictures of many things around me (like my mom‘s flowers, the sky, the beach, my sister, my friends, and literally everything 😆🫶). It became a source of inspiration for me too when I draw and design something 😚🩷
For now, all of these are taken by my phone camera 🤳📸 and because they're soo personal for me, they're now available for printing only, my friend! 🤗🩷
Cards & Stickers
These are my lil sparkly sparkly things I love to make 🤭✨ I always love beautiful or unique greeting cards, and usually made them myself or bought one if I found one I loved! 😍
Well, sometimes cuz it's small, I usually put the letter I wanna say inside the cards (yeah, it usually becomes so long 😭🫶). So, yeah, I’m thinking like.. why not make cards in different sizes and meanings too 🤷♀️🩷. Something that I love and meets my needs, and maybe yours too?! 👀🫶✨
And the stickers are something I loved to collect as a child, especially the cute and flowery ones, lol. I tried to make DIY stickers too as a teens with my lil sis, and we were so happy when they functioned well 😆 (we printed them, put transparent tape on the top of the sticker paper, and put double tape on the back, then cut them with scissors, and voilà it works! 😚🫶).
So yeah, why not add these adorable feelings to my adult days too, hehee. I draw the stickers digitally by myself, so it‘s just a lil part of my shop for now, but I'm happy to see them alive and share them with youu! 🤗🩷
