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

Somewhere I have read that Pavarotti had once said that one of nicest things about life is that we regularly have to stop what we're doing and devote our attention to eating...I think he must have been on to something:) Thank you all for your sweet comments! Negdje sam pročitala da je Pavarotti jednom rekao kako je jedna od najdivnih stvari u životu to što redovito moramo prestati radi štogod radimo i posvetiti pozornost jedenju....Mislim da to mu je ta misao išla u dobrom pravcu:) Hvala svima na vašim komentarima!

I think you can guess what DIY is....the handbag (or the clutch because it can be worn as both.) Now there is a big pink flower on it...and to be honest, I'm not sure I was completely successful with this one. I think I could have done a better job. Maybe it isn't over yet (I still may add a  finishing touch)...we'll see (I'll write about it if it looks presentable)...The outfit is , as far as I'm concerned, very spring appropriate....a winter coat and a summer dress? Why not? I actually like early spring and its unpredictable weather changes. It's like mind games every day. What should I wear suddenly becomes almost a chess game. Your move, spring. Mislim da možete pogoditi o čemu se radi u ovom DIY projektu...or torbici (ili pismo torbici jer se može nositi na dva načina) Sada na sebi ima veliki ružičasti cvijet....i da budem iskrena nisam sigurna da sam se ovaj put iskazala. Mislim da sam to mogla i bolje napraviti...Možda još i nisam gotova,...

Often baking is a spur of the moment thing for me. Usually I decide all of the sudden that I'm in mood for preparing cakes and get down to it. That was the case last Sunday. I've made so many cakes (about 2 kg ) that I had more then enough to share with friends and family. Food is there to be shared, food is love ...well, it is if you ask me. That reminds of a story...About a decade ago I moved to Dubrovnik for work and   rented a house with a friend in a small village near Cavtat (a small city near Dubrovik). When we had time me and my roommate would prepare all kinds of dishes. When I made cakes I often took some to the landlady who lived with her family on the floor above us. Later on, my formal company send me to Italy and my parents came to pick up my stuff and pay the rest of rent. My mother was very surprised when the landlady told her about all the cakes I used to prepare. 'I didn't even know my daughter can cook', my surprised mother said. Truth...

“I hear the question upon your lips: What is it to be a colour? Colour is the touch of the eye, music to the deaf, a word out of the darkness. Because I’ve listened to souls whispering – like the susurrus of the wind – from book to book and object to object for tens or thousands of years, allow me to say that my touch resembles the touch of angels. Part of me, the serious half, calls out to your vision while the mirthful half sours through the air with your glances. I’m so fortunate to be red! I’m fiery. I’m strong. I know men take notice of me and that I cannot be resisted. I do not conceal myself: For me, delicacy manifests itself neither in weakness nor in subtlety, but through determination and will. So, I draw attention to myself. I’m not afraid of other colours, shadows, crowds or even of loneliness. How wonderful it is to cover a surface that awaits me with my own victorious being! Wherever I’m spread, I see eyes shine, passions increase, eyebrows rise an...

Hello readers! Are you ready for another DIY projects with fabric/ textile paints?  The pattern on the pair of pants (that I'm presenting today in this casual outfit) was created with a technique that I have written about quite often on this blog, i.e. painting and writing with textile paints. I have used textile colours to decorate various items of clothing (coats, skirts, jeans...just about anything really.) I have even used it to paint  racing cars, motorcycles and watches on my little nephew's t-shirts. My little nephew painted one of his t-shirts himself once, he was doing really well before he suddenly decided to make quite a mess...and it seemed to had made him blissfully happy. Kids:)... They show us the true meaning of creativity...never be afraid to try something new, never be afraid you'll ruin something, never hold back your curiosity...every experience is a new lesson...they seem to understand this intuitively, don't they?  Uzorak na ovim hlač...
