INSPIRED BY....BLOGGERS SHANAZ & MARISA

 EN Today it's time for another post in my INSPIRED BY... feature, a regular feature on my blog in which I choose bloggers to illustrate and recommend. Today I'll show you two fashion illustrations, one inspired by Shanaz from Reverie Sanctuary blog and the other by Marisa from Marisa's closet blog. Do visit their blogs, they are both beautiful, stylish and fabulous ladies with a talent for writing. Let's get started!

IT Danas je vrijeme za još jednu objavu mojoj rubrici NADHANUTA S ..., redovnom rubrikom na mom blogu u kojoj biram blogere koji će ih ilustrirati i preporučiti. Danas ću vam pokazati dvije modne ilustracije, jednu nadahnutu sa Shanaz s bloga Reverie Sanctuary, a drugu s Marisom s Marisa's closet bloga. Posjetite njihove blogove, obje su lijepe, elegantne i nevjerojatne dame s talentom za pisanje. Započnimo!

INSPIRED BY....SHANEZ (MAKING OF A FASHION ILLUSTRATION)

MEDIUM: WATERCOLOUR PENCILS ON MIXED MEDIA PAPER

To make this illustration I first sketched the general outline with watercolour pencils and then I added more details, again with watercolour pencils. Finally, I added water with a brush and softened it. The illustration ended up looking a bit unfinished, so I might give it another go when I find time. I cannot say that I'm completely satisfied with it just yet. Bellow you can see a collage of how it was made as well as check out the photo reference I used (from Shanaz's blog obviously).


INSPIRED BY.... MARISA (MAKING OF A FASHION ILLUSTRATION)

MEDIUM: ACRYLIC PAINTS ON MIXED MEDIA PAPER

I ran out of my fancy acrylic paints while painting this one, but I managed to find a small package of less quality acrylics and I used them to complete the painting. As you can see in the collages bellow, my art process was pretty standard. First I illustrated the look with a charcoal pencil and then I started adding more and more layers of acrylic paint until I was happy with the illustrated outfit and the background. Bellow you can see the making of process as well as the photo reference I used.

    How lovely to honour your blogger friends this way! I can see why you were attracted to Shanaz' outfit - the colours are fantastic. I like the soft watercolours in that one. Marisa's picture is much more impressionistic, with its daubs of bolder colour. These are a wonderful way to stretch your artistic muscle, Ivana.

    And of course, YOUR outfit - that marigold yellow sweater is perfect on you (I covet it!), and I adore your funky tights! Have a good day, my friend!

      Thank you Sheila. I actually layered two pair of tights, the burgundy on first and then I wore a pair of leopard ones above them. I did it to be warmer but it also looks cool.

    Marisa ha sempre dei look originali e molto stilosi....ed un sacco di vestiti bellissimi!!!
    Mi piaccciono molto entrambe le illustrazioni, ma la seconda è la mia preferita: i colori e lo sfondo ne fanno quasi un quadro!
    Bravissima Ivana! :)
    Baci!

    Ah, these are beautiful! I do love it when you draw fashion bloggers and I think it is incredibly flattering for them to paint them! I'd definitely wear the red outfit. I look forward to the next ones.

    Isn't it wonderful to inspire and be inspired by fellow bloggers? I'm sure Shanaz and Marisa are both feeling duly honoured.
    Although I'm loving both of your fashion illustrations, my favourite is Marisa's. The colours are amazing and it's got an impressionist feel, which I love.
    Your outfit is gorgeous too, and I can see that your mustard polo neck is fastly becoming a favourite. It looks absolutely fabulous on you! Wishing you a great weekend, Ivana xxx

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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...

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...
