Hello dear community! My kickstarter is now live! YAAY! Here is the link to it- www.kickstarter.com/projects/birdsincolour/birds-in-colour Cosiest regards, Kriksis
You are so talented. Only wish I had as much talent and motivation as you. Bravo ! Keep it.up. You are meant to do this for sure. So original and beautiful!❤❤❤❤❤
.. what a joy to witness this beauty of a book coming to life for you darling! It is my absolute pleasure to support you in this. Muchest of love to you xx
You channel just appeared on my feed. Lucky me! I also dream of painting and publishing a book. Congratulations!! Your work is enchanting, magical, and whimsical ❤. I love it! ❤️❤️
Kriksis! Of course it will be funded! I hope you will be generous to yourself since you are a professional artist. I cannot wait to make my payment. I love the birds. I love the character. I am especially intrigued by how you paint fabric. Isn't that funny amidst all the lovely work your do in each piece? Keep going. Your work helps me work.
Congratulations! I look forward to supporting your project on Kickstarter. You would love my garden - it’s full of birds, too. The bluebirds just finished raising their third brood of kids this summer! I grow lots of sunflowers so I am very popular with all the finches. Congrats again and thanks for sharing your journey with us. So inspiring! Lots of love from Oregon!
@@kriksis Thanks for asking! I get Lesser Goldfinch (super teensy and cute), American Goldfinch, House Finch, Purple Finch - so lots of finches - California Scrub Jay, Black-capped Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatch (they sound like little toy cars: beep beep). A few others but those are the main ones. Oh, and we have a year-round hummingbird: Anna’s Hummingbird plus Rufous Hummingbird in the summer. We have Western Bluebirds; they don’t come to the feeder but they do eat my blueberries and bugs in my garden.
❤❤❤❤ I would LOVE a book like this! Considering making cups and T- shirts of your beautiful illustrations! I think it will make great gifts. I am excited with you for your book! Mostly because its not mass created but from your own heart. And such work can never be copied by IA it is priceless to find authentic work and paintings created from the heart...it connects with people on a deeper level. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world! Besides there is only ONE of you! Much love from Tennessee USA.
I am also writing and illustrating a bird book but mine is totally different than yours, thank goodness :) I supported you on kickstarter because I also have this project to increase my confidence and fulfill my dream of illustrating a children's book, so I felt a kinship. You already far exceeded your goal! Congratulations!!! I cannot wait to see your beautiful book in person. Best wishes!
Kriksis, I am so glad I just found you! Your artwork is absolutely delightful, and you are instantly likeable. Congratulations that your Kickstarter was such a success. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos now; I loved this one so much xx love from Australia
Love this video. Best way to learn to draw, illustrate and how to do water color painting, than places that charge you hundreds. They tell you wet your brush and you are suppoed to guess: a little wet, a lot wet, obviously both and I am only at 22.07 minutes. You can bet this video is a keeper. I'm sure I can finally learn watercolor at 77. Thank you. Will wait for your book.
This is a lovely video with your pet birds who come to visit you! And your drawings are beautiful! I have just discovered you and look forward to viewing more videos. :-)
Hi, this is the first one of your videos I have watched. So enjoyable with lovely music to accompany it. I will definitely be following and watching more. Thank you for your honesty in your journey with your artwork for your book and the creation of your book cover. I agree even if you’re not happy with the first attempt at something, keep going. The saying is that there is no fail. The letters in the word fail stand for First Attempt In Learning. I’ve been sketching for a while and have watercolors but haven’t dared put any on my sketches. You are inspiring me to have a go. 😊
27 August 2024 @ 4pm BST. Wishing you the very best for your kickstarter! Yay! It's finally here! You deserve all good and wonderful fruits of your labor!
Yay! thank you so much Crystal for backing the project! Yes I can't believe that it's already funded! I will have to think about stretch goals now. :))
Kriksis this will happen for you!. It is amazing how far you have come since last year. I really want to buy your book and will help with the kickstarter. Your colour palette is so earthy and natural, your book pages are beautifully designed and the little character on each page just brings the birds to life. It will be a privilege to own a copy of your book. Good luck xx
You are such a positive person. I love how you think about moving through a project. I am a fan of you art and style. Cannot wait to get a copy of this book. LOVELY!❤
This is so beautiful Kriksis. I am currently only half way through and am loving seeing / following your journey so much. Thankyou for sharing this all with us. So inspiring and educational. I'm going to make a cup of tea and enjoy the rest of it now. 💗 🙏xxx
I'm new here. It's so nice to meet such a cozy channel like yours. I already watched many other videos from this channel and it's onde of my favorites, already. I hope you have a nice day Kriksis. Hugs from Brazil ✨️🌱🌻
I love the idea of you wanting to publish your book locally. We must do this know matter where we live. I believe many would agree they would rather see published in England over China.
Beautiful story of your journey and awesome paintings, I have an affinity with birds also, I'd love to have a studio set up like yours, what a wonderful space to create. Thanks for sharing and keep on painting and inspiring us 🎨✏📚🌈🙏💜
Hey hun I think your English is better than you think , but if you don’t feel confident I would use chat GBT and use Grammarly app for the English stuff .. your painting are wonderful. If I seen your book I would definitely purchase it .. also with publishing, I think it’s a really good idea that you’re using European places.. look forward to seeing future videos ..
I’m so excited for you Kriksis, I love you channel, your art is stunning and your bird book is going to be just wonderful🧡 Can’t wait for the Kickstarter💛
Was so excited to hear your book has been launched on Kickstarter. I immediately went over with your link and unfortunately could not get the job completed. I will absolutely keep trying. Naturally, I couldn’t remember my password which was the first problem and apparently I was too stupid to write it down in my password book. The site wouldn’t let me sign in through Apple. As I say I will keep trying. I so want a signed copy….
Hi Kriksis, love your work, your colour palette and your channel. I really want to read your book and enjoy your beautiful work so I have set my alarm for 4pm on the 27th! I hope it will be a great success for you, you’ve worked so hard and sometimes having that creative self-belief is the toughest part of being an artist. Good luck, so excited xx
Lai veicas! I am super excited for you. I am sure you will reach your goal. Very well done for sticking with it for such a long time. What an incredible amount of work. Looking forward to the 27th. Xx
I so enjoyed this video, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. I loved seeing all your illustrations and how they came into being and I loved all the footage of the real birds! The music you use is so nice, it’s calming yet uplifting. I can’t wait for your book!
Oh wow Kriksis I’m so excited about your bird book., I can’t wait for it to be launched I love painting birds and for your book to come out will be amazing. I will try to help fund this project when kickstarter launches. All the best with it xxx
This was such a lovely video beautifully put together showing each stage of the process and just how much love and care you put into each piece of this book. I can't wait for it to start and as always the music is chef's kiss to your warm and cozy masterpiece! You should be so proud, because all of us are so proud of you for talking such a massive project and taking on hurdles such as lettering 😊 and in the end you nailed it! I can't wait to see it published. 😊
Can you list the music you have playing? I really love it and I have never heard any of the songs before. I would love to add them to my music list to listen to while working. Thank you so much in advance for your time. CC

(matt) this book will be really beautiful and will be treasured by all those who get to own a copy and its also a remarkable creative achievement.
@@kriksis You've gone past another stretch goal,so the gold foiling can happen,which will make your beautiful book even more special!, I have a good feeling you may reach thre£10000 stretch goal. I hope you are uplifted by how many people want o help you bring your book into reality and it's a tribute to you of the community you have created and how you are so engaged with us all. (matt)

Kriksis, I am still watching your video, but I am loving your music! Who sings the Phosphorescence song? and Golden song? Just curious thanks! Wish I had the entire sound track! It's awesome!
The Phosphorescence and Golden is by Kylie Dailey. :) There is one song called Not blue by Kylie Dailey I think if you like first two you might enjoy that one as well.
