Impossible
“Let’s consider your age to begin with — how old are you?’
‘I’m seven and a half exactly.’
‘You needn’t say “exactly,”’ the Queen remarked: ‘I can believe it without that. Now I’ll give you something to believe. I’m just one hundred and one, five months and a day.’
‘I can’t believe that!’ said Alice.
‘Can’t you?’ the Queen said in a pitying tone. ‘Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.’
Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said: ‘one can’t believe impossible things.’
‘I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
― Lewis Carroll
The Things We Love Doing
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love.”
― Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was a wise woman. She worked with things she loved and they became art. A friend of mine does the same. The photographs above are snapshots of her artwork and features of her house.
I also love creating and I find it very difficult to live without art and beauty. Is it the same for you? How do you nourish your creative soul?
The artwork above was made by Dorota Szmechtig-Szturo. You can see her other amazing talents here.
A Good Time

MyCake, Her Cake, and Your Cake
A while ago I wrote a post in which I was telling you about my friend, Dorota, who is a wonderful fairy and turns everything around her into beauty. A week ago I had a chance to photograph her at work. She’s been always a very creative soul, capable of making magic. The cakes presented here are her art and below you can see her preparing another one for a very hungry customer.
I read somewhere a while ago that “True art is control over passion.” I think you can see it all in her work. Dorota has always been a great inspiration to me and I will be forever grateful to her for showing me that I do not need a permission slip to create. But imagination and perseverance.
If you are interested in Dorota’s cakes, contact her through Facebook at MyCake. Dorota is based in Poland in the region of Wielkopolska. Her handmade cakes have travelled long distances before so just get in touch with her if the idea of combining art and food appeals to you as much as to her.
