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

Hello readers! How are you? I'm alright, pretty much working on new art all the time. Friday is here and I have a few fashion illustrations to share with you.  Three of them are fashion sketches (medium coloured pencils) and one is an aquarelle sketch. I'm also going to show you an outfit I wore for a visit to Buna river and Bunica recreational area near Mostar (last visited HERE ). We visited Buna maybe a week or so ago, but I haven't posted this outfit (well, not the complete outfit anyway). This post will be short and sweet, my outfit and a few illustrations and that is that. Scroll down to see and read more. THE FASHION SKETCH- RUNAWAY LOOK (COLOURED PENCILS ON A5 PAPER) THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT- All of the items in this post are old and the scarf is borrowed from my husband. THE UZOR DRESS- I'm wearing  a from Uzor dress (i.e. a Croatian fashion house that closed down), it's one of a kind dress too, made only in one size. When Uzor was closing, I remember the sal...

Hello there! I'm back with more fashion illustrations featuring bloggers I love and follow and you know what that means. It's time for yet another Inspired by. ..post, that is, a regular feature on my blog where I illustrate and recommend bloggers. This time I illustrated Mica from blog Away from Blue   (these two outfits and this one )  Sheila from  Ephemera  (this outfit HERE ) and Blair from Atlantic Pacific . Scroll down to see and read more.  Despite this being a regular feature, I don't think it ever happened before that I posted six  Inspired by   p o s ts in a course of a week  or done so much illustrations in a relatively short span of time. I'm also currently working on some other art projects, such as landscapes and destination paintings. The way I was able do that was by putting all my time or energy into it.  My days lately are basically a circle of WAKE UP- ILLUSTRATE-BLOG-SLEEP-REPEAT. Today I have finally left my house, if on...

  I'm back with yet another Inspired by post. This time I illustrated the same bloggers as yesterday but this time I used watercolour pencils to do it (as opposed to coloured pencils I used yesterday). So, the fashion illustrations I'll share with you today are actually more aquarelle illustrations (or even mini paintings if you will) than drawings.  Once again I illustrated Akiko from blog  Kimono Snack , Lovely from blog  My Name is Lovely  and Vix from blog  Vintage Vixen . When it comes to outfits Vix and  Lovely, I illustrated the same outfits as yesterday . So, it's the same outfits and even poses just I'm using different media. When it comes to Akiko, I didn't illustrate the same outfit but a very similar one, so it's almost the same (see it HERE ).  I'll also repeat the links  I shared yesterday- you can see the photo  the reference for Lovely's outfit  here  and Vix's outfit  here .  This time I devoted even...

 Hello dear readers! Today I'm back with another   post for Inspired by...   feature on my blog (that is all about illustrating and recommending other bloggers). This time I illustrated outfits worn by bloggers Akiko from Kimono Snack , Lovely from My Name is Lovely and Vix from Vintage Vixen . You can see the photo reference for the adorably chic outfit Akiko wore here ,  the reference for Lovely's dramatic fashion forward outfit here and Vix's fabulous vintage outfit here . So, today I'll  basically share with you three more fashion drawings of fashion bloggers. That's still not my personal record. Once I illustrated five bloggers in one day- with watercolours. Let's see if I can break that record by the end of December. Scroll down to get a better view of these fashion drawings of mine.  INSPIRED BY AKIKO'S BLUE CROPPED CARDIGAN, GREY TROUSERS AND YELLOW HEELS OUTFIT How adorable is this outfit? I love how chic this cropped blue Alessandra Rich card...
