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

In this post, I'll share some illustrations inspired by Valentine's day!  Check out more of my fashion illustrations https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2025/08/friday-fashion-illustration-cherry.html I ALSO ILLUSTRATE FASHION BLOGGERS-  In this post from last March,  I shared two fashion illustrations I made inspired by one of Silvia Negretti's outfits.   As some of you might know, there is a regular feature on my blog where I post my art inspired by fashion bloggers. So, this means I'm back with another   Inspired by  post. This is not the first time I'm illustrating Silvia. I posted  another   fashion drawing based on her outfit in 2016 . There is another regular feature on my blog where I post fashion illustrations called: Friday Fashion Illustration! My last post in this category was published at the end of February:  FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: BLACK WITH PINK, GREEN AND RED ACCENT 2025 Prior to that, there was a   Friday illustra...

Kažeš mi nije, nije, nije nestalo sunca              Srce se smije, smije, smije, s tobom kad kuca   Ljubavi moja, anđele moj Ljubavi moja, anđele moj * stihovi pjesme Anđele moj klape Kampanel You say to me: No, no, no, the sun is still here The heart is laughing, laughing when it beats by your side      My love, my angel My love, my angel* *lyrics from a song My Angel performed by Klapa Kampanel

I've been thinking how many times I have just drove trough Omiš (these photos were taken from the bus last week) and the fact that I've been in the city only once. Only once! Time flies and so many things we want just slip trough our fingers. I have never visited the famous Omiš acapella festival nor have I seen the reconstruction of the pirate fights that also happen in the summer....Nor have I ever been rafting on the Cetina ( the river that flows trough the city). The city was once famous for its Corsairs of Almissa and their saggitas (Latin meaning the arrow) small quick boats that were made for quick attacks and retrieval into the mouth of Cetina, protecting the city from attacks. Baš sam razmišljala koliko sam se puta samo provezla kroz Omiš (pa su tako i ove fotografije slikane iz busa prošlog tjedna) i činjenici da sam u samo gradu bila samo jednom. Vrijeme leti i toliko stvari koje želimo jednostavno nam skliznu kroz prste.  Nisam nikada pos...

I'm not sure how qualified I'm to write about the process of making a fashion illustration, but I had a request for this type of post and I'm going to fulfill it. I'm an amateur when it comes to this kind of illustrations. This blog is the only place where I had ever shared my fashion illustrations (if you don't count random people who had glanced at my notebooks.) Clearly, I'm not an expert and for me fashion illustration is merely a hobby.  Nisam sigurna koliko sam stručna pisati ovakav post, ali imala sam upit za ovakvim postom i ispuniti ću ga.  Amater sam što se tiče ovog tipa ilustracija. Ovaj blog je jedino mjesto na kojem sam ikad objavila/podijelila svoje modne ilustracije (ako ne računamo nasumične ljude koji su pogledali u neku od mojih bilježnica). Očito, nisam stručnjak i za mene je modna ilustracija samo hobi. Now, there are probably only two reasons why anyone would want to make a fashion illustration. The first one is to to put on a pape...

ja večeras ležim sam                                                          Tonight I'm laying alone kao olovni vojnik                                                                 like a lead soldier blatan i ponižen                                                                    muddy and humiliated na kraj svijeta odbačen                                                     ...

When I had taken these photographs (one sunny winter day not long ago), I had no idea that some of these buildings will go up in flames this evening. C'est la vie. Kada sam uslikala ove fotografije (jednog sunčanog zimskog dana nedavno), nije mi palo na pamet da će neke od ovih zgrada izgorjeti večeras. To je život.
