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

Yesterday's illustration was dedicated to a writer who is no longer with us, but whose words are still here.... Today's illustration is again connected with literature.....and it contains a quote from a wonderful and sad play by Tennessee Williams. The green and the orange in the dress symbolize Sicily (in my logic all least), the island that all the characters in the play originate from.  " You love your people but you don't understand them. They find God in each other. Any when they lose each other, they lose God and they're lost. And it is hard to help them" The Rose Tattoo, Tennessee Williams. Jučerašnja ilustracija bila je posvećena piscu koji više nije sa nama, ali čije nam riječi ostaju...Današnja ilustracija je ponovno povezana sa književnošću...sadrži citat iz divne i tužne drame Tennessee Williamsa. Zelena i narančasta na haljini simboliziraju Siciliju (barem po mojoj logici), otok sa kojeg podječu svi bitniji likovi iz drame. ...

'It is true', he replied, 'but you would do well not to believe it.”  ―  Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez ,  Of Love and Other Demons “Era inevitable: el olor de las almendras amargas le recordaba siempre el destino de los amores contrariados.”  ―  Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez “Think of love as a state of grace; not the means to anything but the alpha and omega, an end in itself.”  ―  Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez “Le dijo que el amor era un sentimiento contra natura, que condenaba a dos desconocidos a una dependencia mezquina e insalubre, tanto más efímera cuanto más intensa.”  ―  Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez ,  Del amor y otros demonios "Only God knows how much I loved you.”  ―  Gabriel Garc...

inspired by a song that has helped me trough hard times/ nadahnuto pjesmom koja mi  je pomogla u teškom razdoblju red and purple/ crvena i ljubičasta sempre primavera...mas se Deus quiser...uvijek proljeće...ako Bog da...

You know how much I love statement necklaces. These ones I've made by sewing these lovely crystal imitations (that I have bought in a store where the sewing equipment is sold) onto faux leather. I wanted to make something that would be of good quality i.e that wouldn't fall apart immediately after being purchased as some of the similar but glued necklaces some girls were ordering (and paying handsomely for) (being asked to fix one of those glued necklaces is what gave me the idea in the first place). Znate koliko volim upečatljive ogrlice. Ove sam napravila tako sam ušila ove lijepe imitacije kristala (koje sam kupila u dućanu gdje se prodaje oprema za šivanje) na eko kožu. Htjela sam napraviti nešto što će biti dobre kvalitete i što se neće raspasti kao neke slične ogrlice koje su neke djevojke naručivale (i dobro plaćale), ali na kojima su kristalići bili zaljepljeni (zapravo jer sam sudjelovala u popravljanju jedne takve tek kupljenje ogrlice dobila sam ideju da napravim neš...
