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

I can't stop...and why should I? These images were taken in Split city, Croatia. Do you want to know more about Split?  Ne mogu stati, a zašto bi i trebala? Ove slike su uslikane u Splitu u Hrvatskoj. Želite li znati više o Splitu?  Post update 2025- I like to update my old posts with new links to make them more relevant for my readers. https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2025/06/hello-to-summer-from-znjan-split-croatia.html If you want to see photographs of Žnjan beach, you can visit some of my old posts  HERE ,  HERE ,  HERE  ,  HERE ,  HERE  ,  HERE  AND  HERE . See how Žnjan evolved and changed with time. Split remains the force and inspiration behind my artistic drive, and Žnjan as well. You might remember that I even painted Žnjan in a seascape. Moreover, I illustrated quite a few neighbourhoods and locations in Split city. Do you remember any of those posts? A girl that loved the sea loved painted the seas...

I've had good luck with reading this month. I started reading  The Amulet of Samarkand    by Jonathan Stroud and I quite enjoy it. I'm still under impression of  The Sea Lady .  It is such an amazing novel. I finally got to reading Maya Angelou and I loved her,  Jazz  by Toni Morrison was as deep and profound as  Beloved .  Have you read any of these? Perhaps the novels are what I will remember this month for. Do you have any reading recommendations for me? Imala sam sreće s čitanjem ovog mjeseca. Počela sam čitati Amulet iz Samarkanda i baš u njemu uživam. Još sam pod dojmom romana Margaret Drabble (u orginalu The Sea Lady kod nas još koliko znam nije preveden). konačno sam počela čitati Mayu Angelou. Jazz Toni Morrison je dubok kao i  Voljena.  Jeste li čitali koji od ovih romana? Možda ću romani ono po čemu ću najviše pamtiti ovaj mjesec. Imate li kakve preporuke za čitanje za mene? skirt/suknja, shirt/ košulj...

It is an interesting feeling to get to wear one's own painting. As I repeated many times, I quite enjoy painting with textile paints. You can see some of my previous posts on this subject here , here ,  here and  here  (just in case you're looking for some inspiration). The location where the photographs were taken is Lake Mostar.  I visited it earlier this Summer ( here  and here ) and I found it to be an absolutely beautiful and very calming place. In my effort to  make the most of the last days of Summer, I decided to revisted it....and it was a good call. I had felt blissfully happy while I was there.  Zanimljiv je osjećaj nositi svoje slike. Kao što sam puno puta ponovila, jako uživam slikati s tekstilnim bojama. Možete vidjeti neke od mojih prijašnjih objava na ovu temu ovdje , ovdje , ovdje i ovdje ( u slučaju da ste u potrazi za inspiracijom). Mjesto gdje su fotografije snimljene je jezero Mostar. Posjetila sam ga ranije ovog ljeta ( ovdje...
