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

Kaput, majica- coat and tee: Uzor, shoes/ cipele: nosens, bag/torba: borsa I was asked to style this tartan coat again so here it is, another outfit with this little tartan coat and this time a casual one. The design on the green jumper I painted myself as you can see in this vlog .  Pitali ste me da opet nosim ovaj karirani kaputić, pa ga evo opet, ovaj put u ležernoj kombinaciji. Uzorak na zelenoj majici sam sama nacrtala, što možete vidjeti ovdje . 

Hello readers! Today I'll show you a sustainable outfit that I wore for a visit to Međugorje. Zdravo čitatelji! Danas sa vama dijelim održivu odjevnu kombinaciju koju sam nosila u Međugorje.  Post update: This post has been updated to promote fashion sustainability and rewearing clothes.  SEE THREE MORE WAYS TO STYLE THIS COAT IN THIS 2019 POST focusing on winter fashion! ONE MORE WAY  TO STYLE IT  HERE  IN THIS 2015 POST ABOUT ONE YOUTH! This post from  December 2012 was possibly my first wear of this coat with the DIY element.  The angel wings and the pattern on the jeans I have painted myself (with textile paints). The necklace is my own creation and  to those who follow me (on more or less regular basis)- nothing new. The booties and the bag are old friends as well.   Nothing new, but in a way everything is new. The clothes we wear are never the same for they are a materialization of our intentions, desires and p...

A few of my recent drawings and the rest of the photographs I promised to post. I won't write much as I'm still recovering from a bad cold (and the stress of job searching). Thank you all for your comments, I'll get back at you asap. Par mojih nedavnih crteža i ostatak fotografija koje sam obećala objaviti. Neću puno pisati jer se još oporavljam od teške prehlade ( i stresa potrage za poslom). Hvala svima na komentarima, svratiti ću do vas čim stignem.  

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.
