Gothic Valentine's day illustrations 

 Valentine's day is here soon, so here are some fashion illustration inspired by the most romantic day in the year. Do you have any plans? Do you celebrate this day? For me it is not much different then any other day. I'll probably just prepare something nice (don't I do that every day?) for lunch and dinner (as my husband cannot leave home for the next month or so so we won't go out this year).  For me Valentine's day is not a big deal, but just another excuse to feel festive. One thing I have to admit is that I always have a hard time picking the right present for my significant other. Usually I go for a perfume, but this year I should really think of something else. Do you think it is harder to buy a present for a guy? One present that I think can work well for either gender is just a simple Valentine's card. Making something yourself is also a good way to show someone how special they are as it proves you have really put some time and effort into it. Why don't you make your own Valentine's card? A bit of cartoon or paper is all you need. Draw something on it or just print some picture or illustration you like, you can use one of mine if you want;) 

Uskoro je Valentinovo, ma evo malo modnih ilustracija nadahnutih danom zaljubljenih ili kako ga još zovu najromantičnijim danom u godini. Imate li kakvih planova? Slavite li ovaj dan? Za mene nije nešto različitih od drugih dana. Vjerovatno ću pripremiti nešto lijepo (zar to ne radim svakog dana) za ručak i večeru mužu (jer ne može vani pa ćemo jesti doma). Za mene Valentinovo nije velika stvar, već samo još jedna izlika za blagdansko raspoloženje. Ipak moram priznati da mi je teško izabratu pravi poklon za moju drugu polovicu. Obično kupim parfem, ali ove godine moram smisliti nešto drugo. Mislite li da je teže kupiti poklon za muškarca? Jedan poklon koji je mislim prikladan za oba spola je jednostavna čestitka za Valentinovo. Napraviti nešto sam je isto dobar način da pokažete nekome kako je poseban jer pokazuje da ste uložili vrijeme i trud u poklon. Zašto ne biste sami izradili čestitku za Valentinovo? Malo kartona ili papira je sve što vam treba, nacrtajte nešto ili isprintajte neki motiv koji vam se sviđa (možete iskoristiti i neku od mojih ilustracija;)

    Ajme kako ja ne volim to Valentinovo, dečko i ja ga uvijek ignoriramo tako da kod nas nema nikakvih čokoladica, srca ili čestitki na taj dan, naprosto se ponašamo kao da je u pitanju najobičniji dan u tjednu :)

      Ja ne volim kad ispadne da za taj dan treba raditi tko zna šta, pa ljude uhvati neka potrošačka groznica i grozničavo planiranje, a zapravo dan kao i svaki drugi.

    Mnogo je slatko. Podseća me na neku knjigu ilustracija, zapravo bilo bi savršeno kad bi mogla da spojiš sve svoje ilustarcije na jedno mesto :)
    Meni je taj praznik poprilično nebitan, lepe stvari treba priređivati svakog dana, ali dobro, nije na odmet podsetiti se i na taj način da treba da slavimo ljubav i osobu koja je uz nas... :)

    konkretno ove ilustracije i jesu na jednom mjestu, na poleđini stranica jednog starog seminarskog, ali znam što misliš:) Planiram ih nekako organizirati. I ja imam isto mišljenje o Valentinovu, lijepo je nešto lijepo učiniti za nekoga koga voliš, ali nemam nekakvih velikih romantičnih očekivanja za taj dan.

    Like Lilli told you, this post is the most personal and romantic post I have seen too. In Romania we don't celebrate this as a tradition, we have something similar 10 days later, named Dragobete. Tomorrow or else I don't make expensive gifts with my husband, just romantic gestures, delicious food.
    Have a wonderful day tomorrow!

    Ako smem da primetim, sve si bolja i bolja u ovome. Ostavi skice, mogu jednog dana da se lepo upotrebe. Šta misliš o detaljima na obući, recimo?

      Hvala ti. Super su mi detalji na obući, znalo mi se dogoditi da kupim cipele jer mi je neka mašnica bila toliko slatka:) a dvije sam kožne mašne preselila sa cipela na kapu kad su mi cipele postale iznošene. Sa drugog para cipela kožna mašne sam preselila na jedan kaiš.

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 two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
