Fashion illustration of the day (Happy Saint Patrick's Day!)/ Modna ilustracija dana (Sretan sveti Patrik!)

Today I'm sharing another fashion illustrations with you. The medium is acrylic on paper. I already shared it on my Instagram page, but I was waiting for today to share it on my blog because well it is saint Patrick's Day so I wanted to post something appropriate. On this day it is customary to wear green. Hence, the girl I illustrated is wearing a green outfit. 17th of March (the day of saint Patrick's death) has been an official Christian holiday since the 17th century. This day is  (as far as I know) observed by the majority of christian churches. Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. As one might expect, this day is especially celebrated in Ireland. The Feast of Saint Patrick can be defined as a religious and cultural celebration that takes place on this day. This celebration can come in many shapes and forms. These days, the Feast of saint Patrick doesn't only take place in Ireland, but all over the world. Have you ever attended it? I haven't, but I'm wearing something green today. That's my way of joining in the celebration. Have a great weekend everyone!

Danas sa vama dijelim još jednu modnu ilustraciju. Medij su akrilne boje na papiru. Već sam ju podijelila na svom Instagramu, ali čekala sam danas da je podijelim na svome blogu jer je danas dan svetoga Patrika pa sam htjela objaviti nešto prikladno. Na ovaj dan običaj je nositi zelenu boju, pa djevojka koju sam ilustrirala tako nosi zelenu kombinaciju. Sedamnaesti ožujka, dan smrti svetoga Patrika je službeni kršćanski praznik od sedamnaestoga stoljeća. Ovaj dan se koliko znam slavi u većini kršćanskih crkava. Sveti Patrik je svetac zaštitnik Irske. Stoga se ovaj dan posebno slavi u Irskoj. Slavlje svetoga Patrika možemo definirati kao religiozno i kulturno slavlje koje se održava na današnji dan, a može se pojaviti u raznim oblicima. Ovih dana, sveti Patrik se slavi i izvan Irske, pa zapravo postoje slavlja diljem svijeta.  Jeste li vi ikada bili na nekom takvom slavlju ili fešti? Ja nisam, ali nosim nešto zeleno danas, na taj način se nekako priključujem slavlju. Želim vam svima ugodan vikend!


Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

    E' incantevole questa illustrazione Ivana, così delicata ed elegante!
    Qui in Italia il St. Patrick Day non è così diffuso, nelle grandi città qualcuno lo celebra, soprattutto i locali fanno serate a tema, ma non è una festa molto sentita.
    Io non credo che festeggerò (soprattutto perchè non mi piace la birra), ma probabilmente andrò a vedere il Colosseo illuminato di verde! ^^

    I've never celebrated with a feast but I do try wear a little bit of green on Saint Patrick's day! :) I did wear a green tank yesterday even though I was only going to the local mother's group, and not a lot of others wore green.

    Hope you are having a great weekend!

    Seems like St. Patrick's day is huge here in Canada too but I know nothing about it as it's not celebrated in Malaysia. I should really read about it though, the origins of the celebration.

    Lovely illustration and beautiful movements, Ivana. Saint Patrick's DAy is not a federal holiday. Schools and businesses are open as usual. It's mostly celebrated in cities with a large Irish-American population, tho. They'll have a parade and such. Happy Sunday, luv.

    Nisam nikada prisustvovala toj proslavi ali mi je dosta poznato kako to sve izgleda jer je moj muž neko vreme živeo u Irskoj gde je to događaj godine :) Vidim baš da ti je "legla" zelena boja i inspiracija, a meni ne smeta. Ja je baš volim i sviđa mi se kako si pomešala dve različite nijanse u kombinaciji. Opet si uspela da stvoriš taj osećaj pokreta i razigranosti :)

    this outfit on your painting reminds me almost on a dancer: this looks like a body and a tutu, right? but these pumps may gave another look to this outfit. this is definitely a outfit to talk about.

    it´s a nice one.

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.

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

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. 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

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

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
