How to paint with textile paints? (+outfit post)...... Kako slikati tekstilnim bojama? (+ odjevna kombinacija)

 Introduction

Hi there! In this post I will talk about painting with textile paints, something that I do quite often on this blog (that is also the reason why there are so many links in this post, I wanted to link up this post to other relevant posts about this topic). If you're not interested in this topic but rather you just want to look at the outfit, feel free to skip the text this time.

Uvod

Zdravo! U ovoj objaviti ću pisat o slikanju s tekstilnim bojama, a to je nešto što dosta često radim na ovom blogu ( to je također i razlog zašto ima tako puno poveznica u ovoj objavi, željela sam je povezati s drugim relevantnim objavama o ovoj temi, sve se nalaze u engleskome dijelu teksta jer mislim da nema potrebe za prijevodom riječi "here"). Ako vas tema ne zanima i želite vidjeti samo odjevnu kombinaciju, slobodno ovaj put preskočite sami tekst.

How to paint with textile (fabric) paints? Well, as I have explained many times, the process is fairly simple. There isn't any difference when it comes to using textile and regular paints. In fact, painting with textile paints is quite similiar to using acyrlic paints (which some people use to paint on clothes). There are basically two ways to paint on clothes (or bags and etc.), depending on whether  you want to paint a design/pattern/whatever by yourself or whether you want to copy a design (if you don't enjoy painting or if you don't think you're good at it). So, if you don't know how to paint, you can still do it by using the second method (copying some design). There are different kinds of fabric paints available on the market, I tried quite a few and as far as I can tell, they don't differ much in quality. So, if you want to give this DIY (i.e. painting on clothes) a try, buy some textile paints and get started. The only thing you should be careful about is placing something under the textile you're painting on, just to make sure that the paint doesn't end up everywhere. 

Kako slikati s tekstilnim bojama? Kao što sam puno puta objasnila, sam postupak je jako jednostavan. Nema razlike kada su tekstilne ili obične boje u pitanju. Zapravo slikanje s tekstilnim bojama je dosta nalik na korištenje akrilnih boja (koje neki ljudi i koriste za slikanje na odjeće). Postoje zapravo dva osnovna načina za slikanje na odjeći (ili torbama i slično), zavisno o tome želite li sami naslikati to nešto (to može biti uzorak, slika itd) ili želite kopirati nešto. Postoje različite vrste tekstilnih boja na tržištu, dosta sam ih isprobala i mogu vam reći da nema neke značajne razlike u kvaliteti. Tako da želite li isprobati ovaj napravi sam projekt, kupite tekstilne boje i krenite u nove radne pobjede. Samo trebate biti pažljivi i sjetiti se staviti nešto ispod tekstila na kojem slikate, čisto da ta boja ne završi svugdje.

As far as this outfits goes, there are two items that have been painted on with textile paints and these would be this white turtleneck and this pair of jeans. You can't really see this turtleneck that well in this post, but you'll have the chance to do soon as I have another post with it prepared (or you can see this old post). While I'm quite happy with the design of this angel, I'm not that crazy about how it looks on me. You see, I forgot to take into the account the shape of my body, so this angel looks a bit distorted on me. Bein curvy has both its advantages and disadvantages. If you are curvy like myself, keep that in mind when you're creating an image that you would like to wear. This particular outfit is something that I wore last March. I'm posting it now because Spring doesn't arrive everywhere at the same time. Some of my readers still need to dress warmly so here is a little bit of fashion inspiration for them. The location where these photographs were taken is Mostarsko blato near Mostar ( Bosnia and Herzegovina). Isn't this view gorgeous?

Što se tiče same odjevne kombinacije, ovdje su dva odjevna komada na kojima sam slikala, a oni su dolčevita i traperice. Ne možete baš dobro vidjeti dolčevitu u ovoj objavi, ali moći ćete uskoro jer imam još jednu odjevnu kombinaciju sa njom pripremljenu ( ili ako želite pogledajte ovu objavu). Dosta sam zadovoljna kako mi je ispao anđeo, ali nisam baš luda za tim kako mi stoji. Naime, zaboravila sam uzeti u obzir oblik svoga tijela, tako da je anđeo na meni pomalo izobličen. Imati obline ima i prednosti i nedostataka. Tako da imate li obline, imajte to na pameti kada stvarate neki sliku koju biste voljeli nositi. Ovu odjevnu kombinaciju nosila sam prošloga mjeseca. Objavljujem je sada zašto što proljeće ne stiže svugdje u isto vrijeme. Neki od mojih čitatelja se još uvijek moraju toplo odijevati, stoga evo malo modne inspiracije za njih. Lokacija gdje su ove fotografije uslikane je Mostarsko blato pored Mostara (BIH). Zar nije ovaj pogled prekrasan?
