Embroided shirt / Izvezena košulja











I caught a bit of cold this weekend, but I'm trying not to let it keep me down. Now, about the outfit...I'm aware that these jeans are a bit short for me (they shrank in washing), but what can I do? (It's not a retorical question, if you have a suggestion do tell) Do you notice this white shirt with an angel wing above my heart? I have embroided it myself and it has a special meaning for me. I'll share more photos of this look soon. Thank you for all your sweet comments about my illustrations.

Ovog vikenda postalo je očito  da sam se opet prehladila, ali se trudim da me to ne oneraspoloži. Sada što se tiče odjevne kombinacije. Svjesna sam da su ove traperice malo prekratke za mene (skratile su se u pranju), ali što mogu? (To nije retoričko pitanje, ako imate koji prijedlog, samo izvolite). Primjećujete li bijelu košulju s izvezenim anđeoskim krilom iznad srca? Izvezla sam je sama i ima posebno značenje za mene. Uskoro ću objaviti još fotografija. Hvala vam svima na lijepim komentarima o mojim ilustracijama.

    I like this place, the mill is so lovely. I think you look wonderful, I do dislike when jeans shrink, but these look just fine on you still. Having the shirt tucked in gives it a new mood. I like it a lot and the embroidery you did looks gorgeous. I look forward to more pictures of it. Wonderful art works as always my dear, you have a very wonderful talent :))) I hope you have a super new week :) Lots of love to you Xxx

    Ah, now I do sympathise with regards to trousers that shrink in the wash! I own very few pairs due to not often finding ones long enough in the first place, so to have them emerge from a wash an inch shorter is galling indeed. The only thing I ever occasionally manage (in answer to your rhetorical question) is to plan to let the hem down with the addition of ribbon or bias binding - though I rarely get round to it. Thus I have a a theoretical 'ready to alter' pile of clothing that is probably a couple of years old now...
    Stunning background and I'm intrigued by the hand embroidery of your shirt. Hope your cold is ready to pack its bags.

    Često odabereš vrlo lepe lokacije, to sam doavno primetila, ali mislim da imaš problem s fotografom. Jednostavno, ne uslika te dobro, često je predaleko pa se dobro ni ne vidiš (što je ok za album, ali za blog baš i nije). Probaj nekog drugog da zamoliš da te slika ili bi mogla da nabaviš onaj stativ za fotoaparat. Imam i ja sličnih problema (nema ko da me slika), pa gledam kako to da rešim.
    Nadam se da se ne ljutiš zbog kritike. Sve najbolje!

    Dear Ivana, I love how yo embroided the shirt as I have in general a huge weakness for white shirts. Regarding your pants: have you tried to unstich the hemline and than to iron it? Or what do you think about to cut the pants even more that you get a stylish 3/4 pants with bottom bell? Or as you are so skilled maybe you want to sew a midi-skirt from the pants! I think you will find some patterns to do this in the internet. Hopefully you feel much better now!

    Hello Ivana, You look lovely in such a pretty backdrop. Oh I think the jeans look quite fine at this length. I couldn't quite see the angel wings embroidery due to the bright sunlight and I look forward to seeing close ups of it!

    RYC:
    Hi Ivana, I read your comment with great interest. Firstly, your cheeky first line got me laughing. And then came the part about how ignorant people are. You know what? I really agree with you that many Anglosaxon or what I call Caucasians (in a genearlizing manner) are usually the ones making such comments about race and ethnicity. I'm not referring to all but to many on social media like YouTubes etc, I find mainly the American keyboard warriors being ignorant to the point of racist with their comments that indicate lack of intellect. On my end, the Asians usually don't ask such questions. I think that the lady who asked if you're adopted from Africa really insensitive. She probably didn't mean to sound demeaning but she's just insesitive because of her ignorance. Now on to my ignorance... I really enjoyed your sharing coz I do not have any Slav blog friends (or not that I know of). I'm so curious about Croatia, Dalmatia and Slav that I just had to google to know a little bit more about you!

    Thank you for the follow. I enjoy connecting meaningfully with people all over the world and I'm also following you back. Hope to see each other around more often!

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

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

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!

 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.
