This oil painting of mine seems to have a life of its own. Is it finally finished? I haven't got a clue.
Ovo moje ulje na platnu ima neki svoj život. Je li konačno dovršena ova slika? Nemam pojma.
Dear Ivana, your art is living! And I think especially this fact is essential. For me your art (which I always like so much and also in this case I like both versions) is a mirror and an expression about what in your life and soul is happening. And therefore I'm not astonished that you can't say if a picture is finished or not as you are in the prime of life <3 Happy 3rd Advent!
I love how creative you are, Ivana. From sewing, painting, you are able to do all the things that I can't. I do wish I can paint but I am never a creative person so good for you to be able to create beautiful pictures.
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.
Hello, how are you doing? Today we're reviewing a non fiction book- The Shaping of the Modern Mind . Book reviews and recommendations are an essential aspect of my blog, but usually my reading choices lean towards fiction, mostly fine literature. However, today I'll be reviewing a book that could be labelled as an academical reading belonging to humanities. As someone who studied literature, this is right up my alley. The book is academical, but it's not hard to follow. Moreover, it's not very long either. It's not a comprehensive survey of modern thought, but it's an useful guidebook. This was also my first book by this author. I think I'll try and read more of him in the future. I should try and read more non fiction! How about you? Do you prefer fiction or non fiction? How to read more and/or transform yourself into a person that reads on daily basis? Learn these 7 reading strategies! I picked up this book at a vintage bookshop in Split . The books in
Hello dear readers! In this post, I'll share my impressions from Miro Gavran 's book promotion. Miro Gavran is an established Croatian author that I hold in high esteem. So, when I saw then he was coming to Mostar, I knew I had to be there, no matter how long my work day had been. Anyway, I'll also share with you what I wore to this book promotion. What you wear for book promotions? I attend book promotions quite often and I suppose I dress somewhat formal for them (example here ). I'm a Renaissance woman at heart. I remember how one of my professors (Slobodan Prosperov Novak) told me that in Renaissance people would get dressed up before they stepped into their libraries. They thought that one should dress up to be in presence of books. For, books are a collection of knowledge and art. So, dressing up to be in presence of knowledge and art makes perfect sense. A library is like a museum, really. One should have some decorum when it comes to books! I admit that I
Hello, there! In this post, I'll show you my tips for styling statement balloon sleeves. I'll also add in a book review, because (to paraphrase) Oscar Wilde and Coco Chanel, a girl who should be four things: classy, fabulous, overdressed and overeducated. Wilde was known to be a dandy. The book I'm reviewing is titled Dandy, so there's a connection. Therefore, I'm combing these two quotes. Wilde famously said he makes up for being overdressed by being overeducated and Chanel said that a girl should be classy and fabulous. So, we shall combine outfit posts with book posts because being well read is basically the same as being well educated. Well, at least in my book. Mixing outfit posts with book posts, it's kind of more fun that way. I hope it's entertaining for you as well, because you can always fast forward the part of the post that's less compelling to you at the moment. Dandy was actually my first novel by Jan Guillou so I'm looking forwar
Today I'm showing you another way to style this white dress I received from dresslink . You can see my first outfit here . This time I wore a vintage midi skirt over the dress, so I've basically turned it into a blouse. I wore a vintage scarf over it and accessorized with massive earrings and many bracelets to create a bit of the ethic/ traditinal vibe. To finish this look, I opted for a gold minibag and matching heels. As far as photograph goes, the shooting took place at two difference locations. One is in a small village named Vihovići, that is located in vicinity of Mostar and from this place you have a wonderful panorama of beautiful Mostar city. The second part of this shooting took place in Mostar itself. Which set of photographs do you prefer? Danas vam pokazujem još jedan način za nošenje ove bijele haljine koju sam dobila od dresslinka . Možete vidjeti prvu kombinaciju ovdje . Ovaj put sam nosila vintage midi suknju preko ove haljine , tako sam j
I was thinking about why I like tartan pattern so much, when one reason crossed my mind. I figured that it probably has something to do with the history and the culture behind this particular pattern. After all, I always say that traditional and folklore clothing (be it original or reproduced) carries additional value. Traditional patterns can be such an wonderful source of inspiration. Traditional patters have soul to them, one might say. The history of tartan is particularly interesting. Today we mostly associate tartan with Scotland, but according to some historians, tartan like fabrics were used by ancient Celtic populations spreading across the British Isles as early as the sixth and the eight century BC. Well, that one old pattern for sure! However, even if tartan clothes are really as old as ancient Celts, it is the still Scotland that is responsible for tartan we know today. Did you know that different tartan patterns can represent different Scottish families? Something like a
There is much talk of sustainability in fashion these days and that's great because it's an important subject. I'm definitely interested in the topic of sustainability in fashion and I do enjoy reading and learning about it. We definitely still have a long way to go in terms of making fashion more friendly towards our environment on a global level. I hope that future will teach us new ways to be more sustainable. There are definitely a lot of talented and gifted individuals who are working on making clothes more sustainable. Moreover, there are many ways in which we can promote sustainability ourselves. One of the ways I'm trying to promote sustainability on my blog by showing you different ways to wear the same item. This time it's all about these high caramel boots. 30 + WAYS TO STYLE A PAIR OF HEELED CARAMEL BOOTS I have had this pair of heeled caramel boots for a few years. This pair is by Peko (Croatian/Slovenian brand) in collaboration with loca
Startas sneakers. 'There is only one problem', I said to myself after I bought them, 'How am I supposed to want to take them off my feet when they're so damn comfortable?'. I resolved that problems by wearing them every day for a whole week and returning to my heels collection only after I started to miss it. However, startas will from now on be a regural feature on this blog as I plan to wear them at least once a week (they are a great choice for Summer). In this outfit I paired them with this moda in dress that was featured on this blog at least a dozen times and my new necklace. Speaking of which, I'm working on a new jewellery collection. I'm thinking of making it available for sale here on my blog. What do you think? I've put a lot of time and energy into the designer part and I've been testing the necklaces for a whole year now. I think I've come up with something and they may be ready for sale. I wanted to create affortable neckl
Did you know there is a hidden lake in Mostar city? Well, now you do know. What is a point in being an insider if not to share some insider tips, right? Surprisingly, this lovely lake is quite unknown. Calling it a secret wouldn't be going to far. However, finding it is not really that difficult, if you know what you're looking for. I would definitely recommend visiting this gorgeous lake if you ever happen to visit Mostar city. This beautiful lake isn't man made. It wasn't planned or anything like that. It's basically river Neretva coming through old mining canals. There is also some underground water in this area, but this lake is probably composed entirely of Neretva river (it's on about the same level as the river). Many bird families have found their home there. It is a very serene place. Very few people visit it. I often get to enjoy a view of this stunning lake as it happens to be a part of my typical hiking route. HR Jeste li znali da postoji skriveno
Hello and welcome to the twenty-third post in TRAVEL WITH MY ART category. I'm really excited to share this acrylic painting with you because I have worked on it for such a long time. So, what was the inspiration behind this painting? Where are we travelling today? Once again I'm taking you to Zavala on island Hvar. We visited this place a few time on my blog but when a place is this magical you want to return to it. As you (regular readers) know, I absolutely love island Hvar. Not only do I have roots there, but I have spent a considerable amount of time on this magical island. Most of my summers really, not to mention the fact that I worked and lived on island Hvar full time from October 2019 to November 2019. Back in March, I started a new regular art feature on my blog with the goal of sharing my paintings and illustrations of different places. I named it 'Travel with my Art' because I use it to share paintings depicting different destinations. So far, I have pain
