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

Hello there! I will add a little update to this post published in November 2014. The reason why I felt like this post needs a little update is simply because I wanted to write a bit about embroidery.  I always enjoyed embroidery. I consider it a form of art! CITED FROM BRITANNICA  https://www.britannica.com/art/embroidery embroidery , art of decorating material, primarily  textile  fabric, by means of a needle and thread (and sometimes fine wire). The basic techniques include  crewel work ,  needlepoint ,  cross-stitch embroidery , and  quilting , as well as  quillwork  and  featherwork . Ancient Egyptian  tomb paintings show that  clothes , couch covers, hangings, and tents were so decorated. Quilting was known to the ancient  Persians  and, at the time of the  Battle of Marathon  (490  bce ), quilted garments were worn as armour; Greek vase paintings show these quilted suits covered with em...

There is a theme to my illustrations today: hair. One way or another, hair is important to all of us. Some women rock the pixie or shave their hair completely, becoming somehow even feminine. I strongly believe it can be a freeing experience. However, I  just love to feel the heaviness of my hair hence I prefer to keep it long for now. Nevertheless, whatever our personal preference be, there is no denying how important hair is for all of us. Današnje ilustracije imaju i temu: kosa. Na ovaj ili onaj način, kosa nam je svima bitna. Nekim ženama izvrsno pristaje skroz kratka kosa ili čak obrijana glava i uspijevaju postati čak i više ženstvene. Čvrsto vjerujem da to može biti oslobađajuće iskustvo. Ja osobno, volim osjetiti težinu svoje kose tako da je zasada držim dugom. Svejedno, koji god bio vaš osobni izbor, ne možemo zanijekati koliko nam je svima važna kosa.

Outfit of the day/ Današnja odjevna kombinacija boots: nosens, jacket: alpine pro, skirt/bag: vintage   Another alpine pro jacket? Why not? When I saw it in store, I knew I had to have it, despite the fact that I already own a very similar one...or when I think about it, perhaps precisely because I already have one  ( I don't know have you noticed, but I'm kind of lazy when it comes to shopping).  When I bought the first one, I was guided by the idea that a skiing jacket will keep me dry when it rains....and so it was. Plus, the tartan print...really what else could a girl want? That's worth 15 euros I pay for it, I would say. Još jedna alpine pro jakna? Zašto ne? Kada sam je vidjela u trgovini, znala sam da je moram kupiti, iako već imam jednu vrlo sličnu, a kad malo bolje razmislim možda upravo zato  (Ne znam jeste li primijetili, ali malo sam lijena kada je kupovina u pitanju). Kada sam kupila prvu nit vodilja mi je...

Today my illustration comes with a message. Don't forget that you too can be someone's angel...A smile, a glance, genuine tenderness and openess...even a small gesture can change someone's day. Danas moja ilustracija ima i poruku....Nemojte zaboraviti da i vi možete biti nečiji anđeo. Osmijeh, pogled, iskrena nježnost i otvorenost...čak i mala gesta može nekome promijeniti dan.

Today (once again) I'm joining share in style , the theme of which is shoes. For this occassion, I've decided to wear the most comfortable shoes I own ( nosens ). Thank you for all your comments on my last post(s), I'll  get back to you as soon as I can. Još jednom se pridružujem   share in style  , a tematika su ovaj put cipele. Za ovu priliku, odlučila sam obući najudobnije cipele koje posjedujem. Hvala vam na svim komentarima, uzvratiti ću ih čim stignem.
