Their Drawings Deserve to Be Seen ❤️

But only enough colors to draw half of it. ▼▼

Hi, I’m Karolina, founder of Pastrymade. 💛

A month ago, I joined a 15-day social project in Morocco.

To be honest, I almost said no.

But something inside me told me to go.

During the trip, I visited CHEMESSI, an association supporting people with Down syndrome through creative, practical, and learning workshops.

Then I entered the drawing workshop.

A group of artists were sitting around one table, drawing flowers, animals, stars, houses, and rainbows.

As a mother, I noticed something right away.

There were not enough colors on the table.

Not enough pencils.
Not enough paint.
Not enough paper.
Not enough tools for every artist to create freely.

I asked why!!

The sewing workshop can sell clothes.
The pottery workshop can sell bowls.
The crochet workshop can sell handmade pieces.

But the drawing workshop only had drawings on paper to sell.

People may stop, look at a drawing, and say, “That’s lovely.”

But a drawing on paper is difficult to sell.

So even when the artists’ work was beautiful, the drawing workshop had far fewer ways to bring support back to CHEMESSI.

That night, I could not stop thinking about it.

The next morning, I went out and bought what the room needed:

Paint, Colored pencils, Markers, Paper, Brushes and A full box of colors.

Then one of the artists drew a rainbow.

Before that day, her rainbow had to stop wherever the colors on the table ran out 💔.

Now she could finally draw every color she imagined 🥹.

No artist should have to limit their imagination because there are not enough colors on the table. 🎨

That was when I had an idea.

What if their drawings could become something families would choose, use, and bring into their homes?

What if their art could become a Pastrymade rolling pin?

A design families could press into cookie dough.
A design that could travel far beyond one drawing room in Morocco.
A design that could bring more support back to CHEMESSI. 🍪

While I was still in Morocco, I contacted Magda in our workshop in Poland.

“Can we turn these into cookie patterns?”

We did. We kept the unusual lines, unexpected shapes, and little imperfections that make every drawing feel alive.

From a real drawing, to cookies you can bake at home. 🍪

This is our very first collection drawn entirely by these artists. Every design is a real drawing by a real person. 💛

Every pin begins with a real drawing made at CHEMESSI.
Not just a pattern.
Not something made by a designer.
Someone’s own artwork.

And they are not only meaningful, they are beautiful. Picture the cookies: a full rainbow, a smiling sun, a little blue dolphin, pressed into your dough in seconds. A gift that actually means something.

Pick the design that speaks to you, and an artist gets paid for the art they love making.

This is about valuing their artwork, and supporting the place that helps it grow. 🌸

One roll, and a real artist's drawing comes to life on your cookies.

When you bake with one of these rolling pins, you bring an artist’s work into your home, and you help CHEMESSI give more artists the tools and freedom to keep creating.

Every pin you bring home puts more colors back on that table. 🎨

Because the next time an artist wants to draw a rainbow…

they should have every color they need. ❤️

With love,
