Inari (my illustration)






Today I'm sharing a few of my illustrations with you. This is Inari, Japanese goddes (or  kami) of foxes, prosperity, agriculture, rice and  cunning. Sometimes represented as a women, sometimes man and sometimes as a fox, I find it fascinating and I have attempted to draw her (or him) many times.

    These are really cool illustrations! I like the loose, sketchy feel to them and the subject is really neat as well

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

Yellow Riding Hood / Žutokapica

Image
Yellow Riding Hood....I'm living my autumn fairy tale at the moment. I'm letting the beauty of Autumn mesmerize me and I'm spending as much time outdoors as possible.  Recently I visited Čapljina. It is a small city in region of Herzegovina. Everyone is always talking about it, saying it is the perfect city for taking a stroll. That's quite correct actually. For my part, I can say that I always enjoy taking a stroll here. Plus, I took the chance to check out one newly reopened cake house.  This little city has an interesting history. Apparently, it was founded by ancient Romans in fifth century BC. Its name  is derived from 'čaplja', which in Croatian means haron. This is no accident because in vicinity of this city, you will find bird reservoir and nature park Hutovo blato.  Haron is only one of the  bird that can be seen here. Now, I posted about Hutovo blato quite frequently, so instead of repeting myself, I will leave you a few links. ( here , here , and he...

VISITING NATURE RESERVE HUTOVO BLATO IN A GREEN AND BLACK WINTER STYLING

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers. Today I'm taking you with me on a winter walk through Hutovo blato, and let me warn you in advance, this post is going to be picture heavy. We visited Hutovo blato about a month ago on a sunny but mildly windy winter day.  Needless to say, I really enjoyed our visit. The start of the year was pretty rough for me, as it was for most people, one way or another. We seem to be living in rough times, and while every time has its challenges, I feel like we're living in difficult times. Unless I'm mistaken, this is one of those challenging periods for humankind.  There are days when I feel like there's too much collective burden on all of us. All the more reason to take a moment to breathe- and what is a better place for that than Hutovo blato? Honestly, one of my favourite places in Bosnia and Herzegovina is Hutovo blato. I consider it to be the hidden gem of Europe. So, let's talk about Hutovo blato (literally translated it would mean H...

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: BLACK WITH PINK, GREEN AND RED ACCENTS

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Time for another Fashion Illustration Friday, a regular art feature on my blog where I share my fashion illustrations. If you're a regular visitor, you know what I'm taking about. Your gal loves art as much as fashion (if not more), so it makes sense there is space for both on her personal blog.  Today was a long and emotional day, and maybe some time I'll tell you all about it. At the moment my heart is full. I have a lot to be grateful for, but also a lot of challenges ahead. It's a rather long story that I might tell some day. However, it won't be tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe I'll go back to this post and add more writing to it. Until then, let's get back to the topic of this post and that's- fashion illustration. This time I'm bringing two new fashion illustrations to you. Both feature dark toned outfits with lighter accents. The medium is acrylic paint on mixed media paper. Both outfits came from my imag...

40 WAYS TO WEAR A PAIR OF BROWN BOOTS (WINTER OUTFITS)

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you doing?  This is going to be another outfit post focused on fashion sustainability. In this post, I'll share with you two winter outfits and forty ways to style a pair of brown block heel boots. Rewearing clothes or even repeating outfits is such an easy way to introduce and promote fashion sustainability. With each repeated wear we're reducing our carbon imprint. Moreover, shopping our closets can be so much fun. Building a wardrobe you love makes shopping our clothes easier, and you this is something you can start doing any time.   As I've said many times on my blog, styling clothes can be such an easy way to brighten up our days. Clothes are rarely just clothes. Our clothing items and outfits tell stories, one way or another. Telling stories with clothes is what we all do. Our clothing items tell a story, both on their own and as a part of an outfit. Plus, often we can tell stories about our clothes. It goes both...
