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

Time for another Sights to See, Places to Visit feature on my blog. It's been a while since my last one. However, if you scroll down I'm sure you can agree with me in my claim that this hidden gem was worth the wait. Without further ado, I'll say that the location in question is Čeveljuša near Ljubuški in Herzegovina. This place offers various recreational and sport activeties. During the Summer, it is also a  popular bathing spot. I haven't tried swimming here myself, as this was my first visit but I'll keep it in mind for future. I certainly have a special place for river Trebižat in my heart ( I explained in one of my previous posts   why this river has nine names).   What I can tell you with certainty is that this is a perfect place to relax a little. I immensely enjoyed my short visit. If you're planning to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina, keep this place in mind. Herzegovina is a region so rich in natural beauty that it never fails to impress me. Discove...

I've decided to post these four illustrations together because they seem to match well. Furthermore, if I remember well, I had painted all of them one on the same day. The medium is watercolour on paper. Prior to colouring them, I had sketched them using pencil. You could have seen those original sketches if you follow me on instagram ( for exaple here   I'm holding all of these sketches in my hand). To be honest, you probably won't miss much if you don't follow me on insta as most things I post about end up here eventually.  Back to the topic at hand, I often get asked whether I use pencil for sketching and my answer would have to be that it depends. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, depending on the effect I'm trying to achieve.  Odlučila sam objaviti ove četiri ilustracije zajedno jer mi se nekako dobro slažu. Uz to, ukoliko se dobro sjećam sve sam ih naslikala istoga dana. Medij su vodene boje na papiru. Prije nego što sam ih obojala, skicirala sam ...

Hello! How are you? Today I'm sharing one of my fashion illustrations with you. This fashion illustration was inspired not only by what I wore on that particular day but also by the place I visited. Considering that the location (Kravice in Herzegovina) plays an important part in this little illustration, I decided to make it the theme of this post. Therefore, I included not only the refrence photo for this illustration but also photographs from other old posts shot at this place (and links to them). Have a lovely day! Zdravo! Kako ste? Danas s vama dijelim jednu od svojih modnih ilustracija. Ova modna ilustracija nije nadahnuta samo onime što sam nosila toga određenoga dana već i mjestom koje sam podsjetila. Uzimajući u obzir da je lokacija ( Kravice u Hercegovini) važan dio ove male ilustracije odlučila sam da će ona biti tema današnje objave. Stoga sam uključila ne samo fotografiju koja mi je bila nadahnuće za ovu ilustraciju, već i druge fotografije koje su uslikane na o...

Hello! How are you? Have you gotten a good night sleep? Are you enjoying the weekend yet? Do you have any plans for this evening? This outfit is actually from last year. However, the gloomy weather you can see in these photographs is right on point as it is exactly the kind of weather we have right now (I arrived to Mostar late last night). Fortunately, Mostar is one of those cities that are handsome even when the weather is nothing short of ghastly. Moreover, despite the fact that this outfit is from last year, it is something I could have easily worn today as it is warm enough to opt for a short jacket. You may notice that I'm holding a novel in my hand. In case anyone is wondering what novel it is, I will say it is   The Amulet of Samarkand,  written by Jonathan Strout. It is the first novel in Bartimaeus thrilogy.  I only read this first one, but as I really enjoyed reading it, I'm planning to read the sequels as well. I must say that the fact this novel is consid...
