a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

Now, about this nature park (Hutovo blato) I have written a few times already. However, this time I'm showing you something a bit different, photographs that were taken from one of the rent-able boats that are available for sight seeing purposes. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed taking photos on that ride that seemed to pass so quickly, like all the good things in life seem to do. It is really serenely calming experience to be on a boat and see only the untouched nature around you. For a moment I have felt like I was in Amazon or rather what I imagine being in Amazon might feel like (for I have sadly never been there and much want to). It was a good day, some 3 years ago if you care to put a  dates on event...I remember just being blissfully happy and calm. Hope you enjoy the photographs. E sada, već sam pisala o Hutovom blatu nekoliko puta, ali ovaj put je ipak nešto drukčije jer su tu fotografije koje su uslikane sa jednog od onih brodo...

This morning there was so much sunshine that I could literally  feel the vitamin D sink into my skin.  Random music in my head...  Foxy lady , Smoke on the water , Три зимы я верила …Mind carried away without a direction like a cloud...leaves dancing in the wind underneath the trees this morning......The warm morning that turned into fresh afternoon... and now fresh afternoon is turning into cold Saturday night...perfect time to enjoy freshly baked muffins and hot tea, wouldn't you agree? Jutros je bilo toliko sunca da sam doslovno mogla osjetiti kako mi se vitamin D upija u kožu. Glazba u mojoj glavi... Foxy lady, Smoke on the water, Три зимы я верила…misli lutaju kao oblaci...lišće što je plesalo na vjetru ispod drveća dok je sunce uljepšavalo jutro...toplo jutro se pretvorilo u svježe popodne, a svježe popodne  polako prelazi u hladnu subotnju večer....savršeno za uživati u još toplim muffinima i čaju, zar ne? fashion illustration

coffee on paper /kava na papiru Somewhere I've read about this technique of painting with coffee and I've decided to give it a try. So, if you're wondering what it might look like this would be about it. Supposedly people who do this sort of painting use all kinds of coffee (including cappuccino) but I did it with Turkish coffee (and besides wouldn't the milk that is in cappucino have a bad smell after a while?) Negdje sam čitala o tehnici slikanja kavom pa sam odlučila pokušati, ako vas zanima kako izgleda, to bi bilo otprilike to.... Čula sam da ljudi koriste svakakve vrste kave za ovo (uključujući  cappuccino), ali ja sam to izvela sa turskom kavom ( pa zar ne bi kava sa mlijekom imala neugodan miris nakon nekog vremena)?
