Hello, there! Today we're talking about fashion illustration. It's a subject that has always fascinated me. I have even tried my hand at fashion illustration. It's just something I've always loved to do and it has become a part of my part.  cited from  https://www.illustrationhistory.org/essays/fashion-illustration-from-the-16th-century-to-now The majority of fashion illustrations were created to be seen on a page at close range, allowing for the personal experience associated with books and letters. Therefore, fashion illustrations possess a unique feeling of intimacy, with the image held in the viewer’s hand, as well as an urgency, the need to stop us in our tracks before we turn the page. Fashion illustration requires the unique ability to use pen or brush in such a way that it not only captures nuance through gesture but is also able to transform the graphic representation of a garment, accessory, or cosmetic into an object of desire.

I don't usually take a lot of photos with my smartphone, because the quality is not that great but looking back at photos taken these two last  months, there are some that I'd like to share.... Baš i ne slikavam puno s mobitelom jer nije dobra kvaliteta fotografija, ali gledajući slike uslikane zadnja dva mjeseca, vidim da ima nekih koje bi ipak voljela podijeliti tako da.... March, Split March, Split ožujak, Split (Bačvice) April, Island Hvar travanj, otok Hvar Procession Procesija Radunica, Split Bačvice, Split, April view from the bus/ pogled iz autobusa my nephew's watercolour /nećakov akvarel moj akvarel /my watercolour Stvarnost ima više mašte od tebe (roman Sve žene moga oca, Agualusa) everything is easier with a cup of coffee/sve je lakše uz šalicu kave new Peko boots/ nove čizme iz Peka Mostar, April travanj, Mostar

Step no. 1: glue the coffee beans to faux leather and decorate with nailpolish and/or acrylic paints/ prvi korak: zaljepiti zrna kave za eko kožu i ukrasiti lakom za nokte i/ili akrilnim bojama For the next and the last step you will need  a bit of thread and a needle/ za zadnji i posljednji korak trebati će vam igla i konac step no.2: sew the fascinator to the hairpin/ drugi korak: ušijte ukras za špangicu eccola!

The point is that I usually do have some coffee beans (the ones that are not deemed good enough to end up in my coffee cup) and they inspired me to make a head fascinator....a little bit of glue, a piece of faux leather, one hairpin...and  voilà! Neću ulaziti u to zašto obično imam viška zrna kave kući, previše bi si vremena oduzela da objašnjavam neke svoje navike, nego ću samo reći š...
