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

 Hi, there! Today I'm back with some new fashion drawings and location recommendations. First, I'll show you some new designs I've been working on and then I talk a bit about Planinica and Goranci . Both of these locations were featured on this blog often enough, but once more can't hurt, right? Besides, don't you love these views? I always loved mountain views. What about you? This double fashion illustration portraying two ladies in mermaid gowns was a result of insomnia. Chronic paint makes it hard for me to get a good night sleep. Not getting any sleep makes my pain worse. Living with a severe autoimmune illness feels like a vicious circle at the best of times. I can't take pain killers because that will upset my already weaken digestive system (or what's left of it after the resection operation) and being in pain all the time makes it impossible for me to rest.

First of all, congrats to Mica from away from the blue blog for winning the art  giveaway  I hosted. If you remember, the only requirement for the giveaway was that you write why you like the three watercolour paintings I offered.

However, I didn't receive any emails. Mica wrote she likes the watercolour paintings because her favourite colour was blue in a blog comment so there is that. Prints of these paintings will probably eventually be available in my redbubble shop  under artist name IvanaKada. Originals will be shipped to the winner. Today I'll be talking about things you can do in ethno village Herceg in Herzegovina. Today I'm taking you to Ethno Village Herceg in Međugorje (official site etno herceg ).

Yesterday I was wondering about how I could thank my dear readers for all of their support and then it occurred to me that I could host an art giveaway. Nobody has ever complained about getting free art- not that I know of.  Besides, it has been a while since my last art giveaway, hasn't it? I have made some new art recently so the time seems right. Yesterday I posted my first fashion illustration of the year on Instagram (after not using this platform for months and was surprised that so many people still remember and follow my account ). Anyhow, I'm here with a new art giveaway that will include not one but three watercolour paintings. I decided to include a painting from yesterday's post in this giveaway as well. The start of a new year always makes me want to be more productive. fashion illustration work in progress THE RULES OF THE GIVEAWAY The rules of this giveaway are very simple. You should write why you want these paintings. It doesn't have to b...
