Ukraine is not yet dead, nor it's glory and freedom.
Luck will still smile on us brother Ukrainians.
Our enemies will die as the dew does in the sunshine,
And we, too, brothers, we'll live happily in our land.
We'll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom
and will prove that we brothers are of Kozak kin.
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Ukrainian national anthem in English.

🌻You and Your Work 🌻⁠

Howdy! Here I am! I'm Kay Bonikowsky, the maker behind KBonikowsky Studio. Its 🀩⁠
⁠
πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈI've been handcrafting since I was a kid. I've tried it all! I started sewing clothes at age 7, and I sold bespoke dresses in high school to fellow classmates. I love to cross-stitch, embroider, smock, quilt, make costumes, and knit. I even learned to tat at the feet of a 92-year-old woman. But it wasn't until I discovered needle felting in 2017 that I knew I had found my niche. The needle felting process involves using barbed needles to twist and knot the wool so that it keeps its sculptured shape. Felting is an ancient technique for turning wool into usable material. Needle felting is a relatively new craft invented in the 1950's. Manipulating wool into figures is how I give the world a visual snippet of what inspires me. ⁠
⁠
πŸ“–When I don't have my hands in wool, my nose is usually in a book. I love to read and research, and I am a Bible teacher, blogger and writer. You can find out more about my other life teaching the Bible at kbonikowsky.com. The themes and stories of what I've read in a novel or in the Bible are always a great influence on my art. I want to share the charms and thrills of the things I love in my creations. When you look at them, you see a glimmer of what makes me, me! πŸ“– Find me at kbonikowsky.com to read my Bible blog.⁠

πŸ…I hold a BS in Film Production and a Master of Divinity in Theological Studies. ⁠

He Arose! ⁠
⁠
The Empty Tomb is what the Easter Holiday is all about. Jesus' tomb had a large round stone that was rolled back to reveal that he had risen from the dead. This is the event the Christian faith is founded upon.⁠

We all have a heart. This week, my little grand niece had heart troubles related to Covid complications, and this muscle has been at the top of my mind! Did you know that there are 5 movements to one healthy heartbeat? Its a complicated and beautiful organ. ⁠

This heart could be gift packaged and sent to your special loved one by Valentines if you purchase in the next few days. I'd love to write up a sweet note for you and pop it in the mail.
