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

"Great sculpture often follows the lines of the human body: yet the repose of great sculpture suddenly transmutes those human lines to something that has an absoluteness, a purity, a beauty, which would not be possible in a living mobile form."   The Timeless World of a Play , Tennessee Williams These words by Tennessee sounded right from the moment I have read them. It is not something that I haven't read before or that haven't been said before, for the nature of art is a theme never quite exhausted. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of them are the sculptures in the Mestrovich's gallery in Split. It's this beautiful villa near the sea, full of works by (probably) the most talented Croatian sculptor. You can imagine how I feel when I'm in there, like a child in a candy shop. Last time I was there (ages ago) I made the mistake of taking the guy I was dating with with me, but even that didn't ruin it for me. It now occurs to me ...

 Yes, I'm continuing with DIY posts. I've even prepared a short video for you (the video has been removed because I don't have an Youtube Channel at the moment, sorry).  As I didn't wanted the video to last forever, I haven't finished the design but sort of stopped in the middle of the process. To be honest, it was kind of hard having to hold the sweater facing toward the cam and painting on it at the same time. The pattern on this sweater I completed later on (a few minutes after turning the cam off). You can see the final result if you scroll down...and that is not all! I've also included a photograph of a DIY  angel from a few days ago (in case you want to see how it turned out). As always, comments are welcomed!xoxo Da, nastavljam sa postovima uradi sam tematike. Čak sam vam pripremila i kratki video (nema video zapisa jer nam više svoj kanal, oprostite). Kako nisam htjela da video traje predugo, nisam dovršila dizajn nego sam stala u pola posla. Bit ću...

Here is another DIY project. This little jacket should come in handy this spring...and with this tree that I have pained on, I like it even more. Evo još jedan uradi sam projekt....ova mi bi bijela jakna trebala dobro poslužiti ovog proljeća...a sa ovim drvetom koje sam nacrtala, sviđa mi se još više. another DIY print DIY

I do hope you had a lovely Women's Day ladies! Mine was quite relaxing, I had lunch with friends and went to the movies in the evening. 300:The Rise of The Empire was disappointing in many ways, but Eva Green was (as the protagonists himself said) 'impressive'. Her acting was suburb and those costumes she wore in the film were stunning....Kudos to who ever was the designer.  This morning I've spend cooking and cleaning and that too (believe it or not) was quite relaxing. Now, on the other hand, it's time to get back to business and obligations. However, before trying to get hold of things and organizing myself for the next week, here is my selection of outfits that impressed me the most in the last week. Stvarno se nadam da ste uživale u danu žena, drage moje! Moj je bio skroz opuštajući, ručala sam sa prijateljicama i išla u kino navečer. Nastavak 300 je bio poprilično razočaravajući, ali je zato Eva Green bila (kao što je protagonist primjetio u filmu) impresiv...

" Old loves they die hard, old lies they die harder, I wish I had an angel, for one moment of love" * Nightwish, I wish I had an angel I wish I had an angel.... DIY angel this is what I'm using to paint. I actually prefer the paint I was using before but I wasn't able to find it...this one has a nozzle that I'm still getting used to...I'm more used to a brush, but I'm managing... Turtlenecks (roll-necks)...I really like them and wear them all the time. This white turtleneck I will probably wear even more often because I like the way the angel I have painted on it turn out. Do you? Dolčevite...stvarno mi se sviđaju i često ih nosim. Ovu bijelu dolčevitu nositi ću još češće zato što mi se sviđa kako je ovaj anđeo koji sam naslikala ispao. Sviđa li se vama?
