H

ello! I’m in a

very famous

square in a city in

Russia. There are

always a lot of bright

lights, and during the

New Year this place

is like a fairy tale. This is one of my favourite WOXS issues (266,

April 2018) – I made postcards with beautiful colourful unicorns

as presents for my friends for the New Year and birthdays.
