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

“I hear the question upon your lips: What is it to be a colour? Colour is the touch of the eye, music to the deaf, a word out of the darkness. Because I’ve listened to souls whispering – like the susurrus of the wind – from book to book and object to object for tens or thousands of years, allow me to say that my touch resembles the touch of angels. Part of me, the serious half, calls out to your vision while the mirthful half sours through the air with your glances. I’m so fortunate to be red! I’m fiery. I’m strong. I know men take notice of me and that I cannot be resisted. I do not conceal myself: For me, delicacy manifests itself neither in weakness nor in subtlety, but through determination and will. So, I draw attention to myself. I’m not afraid of other colours, shadows, crowds or even of loneliness. How wonderful it is to cover a surface that awaits me with my own victorious being! Wherever I’m spread, I see eyes shine, passions increase, eyebrows rise an...

Hello readers! Are you ready for another DIY projects with fabric/ textile paints?  The pattern on the pair of pants (that I'm presenting today in this casual outfit) was created with a technique that I have written about quite often on this blog, i.e. painting and writing with textile paints. I have used textile colours to decorate various items of clothing (coats, skirts, jeans...just about anything really.) I have even used it to paint  racing cars, motorcycles and watches on my little nephew's t-shirts. My little nephew painted one of his t-shirts himself once, he was doing really well before he suddenly decided to make quite a mess...and it seemed to had made him blissfully happy. Kids:)... They show us the true meaning of creativity...never be afraid to try something new, never be afraid you'll ruin something, never hold back your curiosity...every experience is a new lesson...they seem to understand this intuitively, don't they?  Uzorak na ovim hlač...

' Besides, Pavao Petrovic was decieving himself. His love was not childish and there were times when he admitted it himself.' Janko Leskovar, Doomed courts "Uostalom, Pavao Petrović varao je sam sebe. Ona njegova ljubav uistinu ne bijaše djetinjarija, a bilo je časova kada to on i sam priznavaše." Janko Leskovar, Propali dvori Who doesn't like polka dots? Not me. Therefore,  it comes to as no surprise that I really like this Maybelline nail-polish. Besides the fact that it provides you with plenty of polka dots on your nails, you get them in different colours...and this shade of green reminds me of the sea, there is almost a mermaid feeling about it. The only downside to Colorama nail-polishes is that they don't stay on for very long. They're affordable and have great shades but they don't stay on for long (one day in my case, but I do a lot of housework, cooking and cleaning) . I've bought this one together with a pink on...

IWD outfit SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES- HOW I WORE IT BEFORE? THE BLACK COAT (TALLY WEIJL)- I still wear it in 2025, in fact I have worn it over 100 times! See how I wore it in  an all black styling ( apart from a colourful scarf )-the one where I'm posing with our neighbourhood cat.  More recently  in this fashion illustration post where I paired it with a blazer and a Bellissima skirt.   Back in  2019, I shared plus thirty ways to style this short black coat.  Since then, I must have worn it as many times if not more.  In this 2025 post, I wore this black coat with a floral dress, a mustard top and biker boots.
