INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY: WIN AN ORIGINAL WATERCOLOUR FASHION ILLUSTRATION!

Yes, one of you is going to get a free fashion illustration! Aren't you glad you stopped by my blog today? As the title indicates, today I'll be gifting a fashion illustration painted by yours truly. April is my birthday month, and I'm feeling generous so I decided to share one whimsical fashion illustration with you. It would be nice if you decided to followed my blog with bloglovin or gfc, but you need not do so for the sake of this giveaway. When it comes to hosting my art giveaways, I'm all about simplicity, so I'll satisfy myself with a blog comment and an answer to a question you can find in rafflecopter. Those are the only two conditions for this art giveaway. The giveaway is international and open to everyone. You have two days before it expires, so hurry up and open the rafflecopter link to join the giveaway. 




This original fashion illustration shows a girl wearing a polka dot transparent dress and holding two pineapples. It's all about spring and summer vibes, this one. You already had the opportunity to see this illustration of mine in one of my previous posts ( this one- Making of a Fashion Illustration). The medium is (if you remember) watercolour and marker on paper. It's mostly watercolour, though. I only used coloured markers for some details. Back when I posted it for the first time, I also included a tutorial collage. I'll repost that one just in case anyone is interested in the painting process itself. I'll also include a few photographs of this watercolour illustration decorated with rhinestones.

SOME OF MY PREVIOUS ART GIVEAWAYS

I've been pretty generous with my art though my blogging years. In case you're curious, here are some of the fashion illustrations I have already gifted through blog giveaways.

From my fashion illustrations you can see below, I miss the Dolce&Gabbana the most, but I'm happy because I know it's in good hands.

If you want to know how I got better at fashion illustration, you can read my post about 10 ways to improve your fashion illustration skills.  If there is a painting of mine you'd like to see in a future giveaway, feel free to link it up bellow.

    Dear Ivana, this is a wonderful and for sure I'm in! Thanks a lot and happy birthday (although I don't know your exact birthday date). You know I'm a huge fan of you and the illustration you did about one of my looks is still my profile picture in WhatsApp. Have a wonderful rest of this month!

    Your illustrations are so fabulous! The first pant suit is my favorite. It makes the woman looks so strong and so stylish! Happy birthday. Mine was April 11. Spring is such a great birthday month since it is like we become reborn along with nature.

    Prima di tutto: tantissimi auguri di buon compleanno Ivana!
    Non so quale sia il giorno esatto della tua nascita ma spero che gli auguri valgano lo stesso!
    Aprile è un bellissimo mese per festeggiare il compleanno, anche mio padre compie gli anni il 5!
    Molto carina l'idea del giveaway, sono sicura che i tuoi disegni saranno molto apprezzati da chiunque li riceverà, personalmente il mio preferito è il primo, soprattutto per i colori vivaci e perchè mi piace molto come hai reso la trasparenza dell'abito! :)
    Baci!

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.

SHADOW AND BONE BY LEIGH BARDUGO (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall review Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo ,  the first novel in the Shadow and Bone trilogy. Published in 2012, Shadow and Bone is a young adult fantasy novel featuring a young female protagonist Alina Starkov who tries to find her way in a world troubled by war and class divisions. The novel is set in Ravka, a fantasy world inspired by feudal Russia, but still unique in its own way. The world Alina Starkov inhabits has its own mythology and magic, and the worldbuilding is quite interesting. For example, there are Grishas, people who have magical powers, that are partly based on study of science and partly on instinct. While the organization of power is feudal, with a corrupt monarch and nobility, there's mention of higher education and even science.  I actually got introduced to this series through listening to music on Youtube. I'm pretty sure I heard about this fantasy series (especially on  goodreads), but someho

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #40, A VIEW FROM MARINE LUČICA SPLIT (CROATIA)

Image
Hello blog readers and fellow bloggers! It's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post that is another posting in my art series. In this post, I'll share an acrylic painting inspired by a location in Split city, Croatia. I used one of my own photographs as a reference for this painting. The format of this painting is quite small, but I'm pretty content with how it turned out. Furthermore, I might do another version of this painting on a canvas. I will share more details about the location and the painting shortly, but first a few words about why and how I'm sharing it.  As you might know if you read my blog regularly, TRAVEL WITH MY ART is basically a regular feature on my blog where I post my art (paintings & illustration) inspired by different places. I will mostly illustrate and paint places I have visited, but sometimes I will paint based of a photograph a friend has sent me or one that caught my eye. Sometimes I will paint places I would like to visit as opposed

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

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
