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

                                                 Antun Branko Šimić (Croatian poet 1898-1925) Vampir                                                                                          Vampire On vodi mene u noć                                                 He leads me into the night Ruka mu je mala topla mekana                                  His hand is small, warm, soft On vodi mene u noć     ...

This morning there was so much sunshine that I could literally  feel the vitamin D sink into my skin.  Random music in my head...  Foxy lady , Smoke on the water , Три зимы я верила …Mind carried away without a direction like a cloud...leaves dancing in the wind underneath the trees this morning......The warm morning that turned into fresh afternoon... and now fresh afternoon is turning into cold Saturday night...perfect time to enjoy freshly baked muffins and hot tea, wouldn't you agree? Jutros je bilo toliko sunca da sam doslovno mogla osjetiti kako mi se vitamin D upija u kožu. Glazba u mojoj glavi... Foxy lady, Smoke on the water, Три зимы я верила…misli lutaju kao oblaci...lišće što je plesalo na vjetru ispod drveća dok je sunce uljepšavalo jutro...toplo jutro se pretvorilo u svježe popodne, a svježe popodne  polako prelazi u hladnu subotnju večer....savršeno za uživati u još toplim muffinima i čaju, zar ne? fashion illustration

DIY necklace

Good morning everyone! Dobro jutro svima! work in progress work in progress work in progress

One midi skirt, so many possibilities. Jedna suknja ispod koljena, a toliko mogućnosti. Mostar Mostar in the background Mostar Široki brijeg wonderful church, isn't it? I love this jacket... and this vintage scarf does come in handy... when I find a bag I like I wear it all the time smile...

coffee on paper /kava na papiru Somewhere I've read about this technique of painting with coffee and I've decided to give it a try. So, if you're wondering what it might look like this would be about it. Supposedly people who do this sort of painting use all kinds of coffee (including cappuccino) but I did it with Turkish coffee (and besides wouldn't the milk that is in cappucino have a bad smell after a while?) Negdje sam čitala o tehnici slikanja kavom pa sam odlučila pokušati, ako vas zanima kako izgleda, to bi bilo otprilike to.... Čula sam da ljudi koriste svakakve vrste kave za ovo (uključujući  cappuccino), ali ja sam to izvela sa turskom kavom ( pa zar ne bi kava sa mlijekom imala neugodan miris nakon nekog vremena)?

As promised, this month there will be more DIY posts.  I'm not sure when exactly I have made this necklace....  ....but I have found one old photo (from 2005!!!) where I'm wearing it so I have probably made it while I was still in high school.  Time stops for no one...can't believe that my stay in Sicily was that long ago...and looking at this old photo, it seems like I always loved braids, doesn't it? Nisam sigurna kada sam točno napravila ovu ogrlicu, ali sam pronašla jednu staru fotografiju (iz 2005 zamislite) gdje je nosim pa je vjerovatno da sam je napravila dok sam bila u srednjoj školi. Vrijeme stvarno leti...ne mogu vjerovati da je prošlo toliko od moga boravka na Siciliji. Gledajući ovu sedam godina staru fotografiju moram promjetiti da još uvijek nosim istu frizuru (većinom barem), uvijek pletenice.
