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

Today I'll share with you six February outfits. Styling our clothes in Winter can often be fun  because there are so many layering options. Moreover, we shall talk about the benefit of rewearing clothing items and why it is good for the environment. I always enjoyed reading about different ways of wearing one clothing item because it always seemed like a great way to maximize and shop one's closet. I have published many posts that could be placed in sustainable fashion category during my eight years as a blogger. I think by now, most people know that the textile (fashion) industry is one of the biggest industrial polluters. By shopping our closets and being less wasteful with clothes, we're are also helping the environment. Plus, it can be a lot of fun. I'm definitely not the only blogger that is talking about rewearing and restyling clothes, nor was I the first one to do it.  If you are looking for more sustainable fashion ideas, you might them on the following blogs, ...

Hello dear readers! How are you doing? I'm working hard on new art projects. It's Friday today and that means I'll share some of my new fashion illustration projects with you. Friday fashion illustration is a regular feature on my blog where I share my fashion illustrations and other art related projects.  You know that I like to experiment with fashion illustration. Today you'll see some of my new experiments. That being said,  all  of my fashion illustrations in this post have a common theme: 'fashion illustrator at work.'

I drew  two versions with a purple marker and one with a pencil. I did not stop there, though. I uploaded these sketches to my laptop and painted them digitally using Paint 3D. I ended up with several digital versions of 'Fashion illustrator at w...

Hello! In this post, I'll share my review for Dune, a cult novel by Frank Herbert. Published in 1965, Dune is a science fiction classic. It won both the Nebula in 1965 and the Hugo award in 1966. This novel achieved a cult status among science fiction fans. Even those who have not read Dune have probably heard about it, for  Dune has been adopted a number of times. In fact, a new adaptation will hit the theatres any time now. (Post update, the sequel has hit the theatres and there's talk of more!) Today I shall not talk about the movie versions I saw, not because I do not  respect or like them, but rather because I want to focus on the novel itself.  While I am not one of those bookworms that hates every movie adaptation before even seeing it, book reviewing is what I do best. I did study literature for five years, but even before I did that, writing about books always came naturally to me. Besides, I would have to see the films anew to be able to review them.  The b...
