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

I have promised you more DIY posts, haven't I? Today DIY project involves a technique that I have already posted about a few times. Basically all you have to do is buy some paint (there are many kinds out there and they're not expensive ) that can be applied on the clothes, make sure you put something under( a book, a magazine, anything) the material you're working with so that the paint doesn't get everywhere and that is all there is to it . As you may know, I love painting and I love clothes so you can imagine how trilled I am to join the two together. A match made in heaven if you ask me!  If you want to see the results, scroll down. Obećala sam vam više postova posvećenih radovima (tj uradi sam projektima), nisam li? Današnji uradi sam projekt je nešto o čemu sam već pisala, slikanje po odjeći. Sve što vam treba je kupiti boju koja se može nanositi na odjeću (ima puno vrsta u ponudi i nisu skupe) i nešto (knjiga, časopis, bilo što) što ćete staviti ispod materija...

Many of my fashion illustrations were inspired by the month of love I have been working on a few paintings...maybe I'll post about them some day but not for now... The emphasis continues to be on fashion illustrations.... a wonderful novel  by Kureishi that questions the connection between our body and soul  Amy Tan is an author that I would highly recommend to all the daughters and mothers. In her works she is quite successful at portraying and examining that special connection that exists between a mother and a daughter. DIY vases made from old shampoo and detergent bottles As always I took more photographs then I had actually shared but it's hard to find place for everything If we're going to trust the Croatian proverb (ljubav ulazi kroz želudac)  that states that a way to someone's heart is trough their stomach ( the English version would be love enters trough the kitchen)  then I have deserved someone's heart for I h...

Hello dear readers! In this post, we shall talk about Nature park Blidinje. Let me show you around this magnificent nature park.  My internet connection is really bad so I'll keep this one short, at least as far as the text goes. The photos were taken a few years ago and I have shared some of the photos from this trip before so I guess this is post no.2 about Blidinje. Internetska veza mi je loša pa će ovaj post biti kratak barem što se teksta tiče. Fotografije su od prije par godina i već sam podijelila neke fotografije sa ovog izleta pa se može reći da je ovo drugi post o Blidinju.  READ MY OTHERS BLOGS ABOUT BLIDINJE TO FIND OUT MORE! 1.

Don't you just love when someone steps out of the ordinary? Croatian designer Sandra Haddad stepped into a fairy world when she designed her wedding dresses...and aren't they just a dream? Zar nije divno kada netko izađe iz okvira? Hrvatska kreatorica Sandra Haddad zakoračila je u svijet vila kada je kreairala svoje vjenčanice...i zar nisu jednostavno bajne? +

'My desire was to give my audiences my own sense of something wild and unrestricted that ran like water in the mountains, or clouds changing shape in a gale, or the continually dissolving and transforming images of a dream. This sort of freedom is not chaos nor anarchy. On the contrary, it is a result of painstaking design, and in this work I have given more conscious attention to form and construction than I have in any work before. Freedom is not achieved simply by working freely.'  from Author Foreword to Camino Real                       It came to me as a surprise that people used to (and maybe still do) walk out of this play. Tennessee Williams has written many beautiful plays but I have to admit this one has a special meaning for me. Tastes are not to be debated, they say? But what is there to debate if not our tastes? By that I mean that there is nothing wrong in discussing what we like and what we don't...However, th...

Romano : E tu, quell'Orietta? Jep : Chi è Orietta, mò? Romano : Come chi è! Quella che stava a casa tua l'altra sera. Elegante, raffinata. Una bella donna. Jep : Roma'... una bella donna alla mia età non è abbastanza. * *Le Grande Bellezza, 2013  As I have promised, here is a post with some of my spring fashion illustrations. Kao što sam obećala, post sa nekim od mojih proljetnih ilustracija. olovka, akrilne boje olovka, akrilne boje olovka, akrilne boje kemijska, bojice kemijska, bojice kemijska, bojice olovka, akrilne boje

Have you started to think about the spring? I certainly have despite the fact that this morning it was so cold that I though my brain will freeze or something, I regretted not wearing a hat. Soon you'll see some fashion illustrations inspired by the spring.  Jeste li počele razmišljati o proljeću? Tko nije? Ja sigurno jesam, iako je jutros bilo toliko hladno da sam požalila što nisam ponijela šešir (imala sam osjećaj da će mi mozak smrznuti), a uskoro ćete vidjeti i neke modne ilustracije nadahnute proljećem. water colour and pencil
