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

Hello blog visitors. Today I'll share with you two summer outfits as well as a book review. The book I'll be reviewing is today A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf.  This one century old non fiction book comprising of essays written by Virginia Woolf is still relevant. One of its main themes of the book is the position of women in society. You can read the book for free on Project Gutenberg  (that's how I read it). I gave this book four stars on goodreads. It is a lovely book and I do recommend it. For a longer review, scroll down. If you're not a book person, just skip it.  OFF SHOULDER TUNICS TUCKED IN / VINTAGE SKIRT / STAW HAT / BOROMIRA SANDALS VIRGINIA WOOLF, A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN 4/5  AS AN ESSAYIST SHE PROVES TO BE VERY COMPETENT  Let's start with this book review. Let me just exclaim: 'What a wonderful essayist Virginia Woolf is!' I don't think I have enjoyed a book of essays in English this much since I've read George Orwell's...

Hello there and welcome to another Fashion Illustration Friday feature! Today I'll share with you some new fashion sketches. I made these ballpoint pen sketches while I was enjoying a ferry ride from island Hvar to Split city. I decided to try to turn them into digital illustrations. Scroll down to see more. HR Zdravo svima. Vrijeme je za još jednu objavu u seriji petak modne ilustracije. Danas ću sa vama podijeliti neke nove modne skice. Ove skice sam nacrtala s običnom kemijskom olovkom dok sam se vozila trajektom sa otoka Hvara u grad Split. Odlučila sam ih pokušati pretvoriti u digitalne ilustracije. Pogledajte ostatak objave kako biste vidjeli kako je moja namjera provedena u djelo.  IT Benvenuti a un altro post dedicato alla illustrazione di moda!

My last post was my participation in Bloggers Art Gallery . Today on the blog, we have another post about my art. More specifically, it's about digital art. While I was browsing through my old blog posts, I came across some of my old mixed print sketches that I made back in 2013 and 2014. I've been exploring digital art, so I decided to colour these watercolour sketches digitally. How did I do it? I used Paint 3D program to colour them. Do you want to see how it is done?

In case anyone is interesting in purchasing any of my art, y ou can buy most of my illustrations and paintings here:   IvanaKada.redbubble.com A BLUE LADY IN A MAGICAL FOREST  This painting of a blue lady was originally a sketch made with a ballpoint pen on a random piece of paper with some watercolour added. Before I got better (still not perfect) as organizing my time for art, I used to sketch a lot. I'm so glad I did because sketching can...

Hello dear visitors and readers. Today I'm really excited to join in the Bloggers Art Gallery link up. Kezzie is the organizer and you can find her blog  here .  As some of you already know, I'm blessed to own a lot of beautifully framed oil, watercolour and acrylic paintings. As a hobby artist myself, it gives me great pleasure to have so many paintings on my walls. I don't have a single poster in my home, it's all real art, my walls are all just: canvas after canvas!  My husband is very emotionally attached to my paintings (particularly to boat paintings) so he rarely lets me sell them. However, I do sometimes sell my art. Sometimes I'm the one who wants to keep it.
