Uspavanka za oblake

I know I'm boring with frequent posting! I was in the mood to draw these days, so I decided to share some drawings with you. And since this is the time to draw, not to talk, it's better to get right to the point...    

Danas mi se desila čudesna i neverovatna stvar. Kad malo razmislim, dolazim do zaključka da mi su mi se najlepše stvari dešavale upravo onda kad sam se najmanje nadala. No, da se vratim na stvar...Očekivala sam da mi ovih dana stignu neke knjige, koje sam naručila na The Book Depository-ju (znam da već postajem dosadna sa ovakvim rečenicama). Stigla su mi tri paketa. Otvaram prvi. U njemu Šekspirova Bura, reprint iz 1908. sa ilustracijama Edmona Dilaka (Edmund Dulac). Čudesno...Zatim, u drugom, broširano izdanje takođe Dilakovih ilustracija, ali ovaj put su u pitanju bajke - Pepeljuga, Uspavana lepotica, Plavobradi, Princeza na zrnu graška...Divno...Moraću, svakako, jedan post da posvetim ovom izuzetnom ilustratoru. Opet sam se odaljila od onog bitnog. Dakle, dolazim do trećeg paketa i shvatim da je adresa pisana rukom, što znači da nije iz knjižare. I to istog trenutka zagolica moju radoznalost. Otvaram paket, a unutra nešto zamotano u zeleno-rozi papir i uvezano ružičastom trakom. O...

I've been pretty busy during the past week. Unforunately, I didn't have much time for doing art. Yet I managed to make a few papercut faeries. I decided to introduce to you one of them - Fairy with the snail.  I have to say that almost every day and wherever I go, I carry with me sketch-book and pen. Then I draw things that come to my mind, or just write down some of my ideas. Well, this fairy was in my sketch-book a few weeks before I made it. There's a lot of sketches and ideas to achieve... A sada je došao trenutak da proglasim dobitnika knjige. U svemu tome mi je od ogromne pomoći bila moja draga Kisa, koja je bila toliko ljubazna da zapiše imena učesnika, ubaci ih u šešir, a zatim izvuče dobitnika, dok sam ja bila supervizor iza kamere (nešto kao Milka Canić). Dobitnica je moja imenjakinja Katarina sa bloga Piknik u mašti. Čestitam! (Kaća, budi ljubazna, pa mi dostavi tvoju kućnu adresu) Možete da pogledate i snimak izvlačenja nagrade.

Finaly the sun! This day is so wonderful, warm, bright, shiny...I'm so happy for nice weather! I think about the song "Perfect day" sung by Miriam Stockley. Well, I feel today just like that! The rain has moved on And left a new day Nothing seems to move everything is still It's just a perfect day The shadows and light That move with the wind Hidden violets grow splashed with summer spray Just another perfect day On the wild and misty hillside Fear is nature's warning Hunger here is never far away And all of this world Is for children who play Days that never end always should remain Another perfect day  I spent this day walking with my mom, Joja and our dog Famma. We really enjoyed it. It seemed that absolutely everything, every plant and animal and whole nature rejoice to this perfect day. Along the way we took a lot of lovely photos. I hope you enjoyed looking at our little country household! ...

Da li vam se ponekad dešava da poželite da spakujete kofere, odete na Novi Zeland i tamo gajite ovce? Meni često. Očigledno imam neki problem u organizaciji, a tu su i raznorazne prateće stvari kao što su rasejanost, dekoncentrisanost...Sve bih nešto htela, ali ne uspevam da stignem. Uz to mi računar polako umire,  tako da se izvinjavam ako sam nekoga na bloggeru zapostavila. Juče sam uspela da na Book Depository-ju dva puta naručim istu knjigu :) Naravno, posle sam morala da im pišem i zamolim ih da otkažu tu drugu porudžbinu. Kad malo razmislim čini mi se da sam uvek takva bila. Dešavalo mi se da zaboravim da izađem iz autobusa na određenoj stanici ili čak da ne mogu da se setim da li sam večerala ili nisam. Ponekad sam stvarno čudesna. Kao da živim sa pola mozga, a onu drugu polovinu nikako ne mogu da nađem :) Možda sam je zaturila na nekoj polici sa knjigama.  Pored toga, iako volim i sneg i kišu, baš sam se uželela proleća i sunca. Nekako mi se odužilo ovo sivilo. I t...

I was absent from the blog for a while, preparing works for some art contest. I hope it was worth the effort. This collage is called "longing for the moon". I suppose we all long for something. It's human nature. And very often we long for something we can not have. This collage deals with this problem.

I tried to be active these days. So I finished the previous fairy and put her in some floral setting. I started also another one...At this point I am pretty occupied with things from fairy tales and fantasy. The only thing I want is to be far, far from reality. I would like to thank Anne (Anne simle crochet) because she gave me the award. She has a great blog where you can see planty of her crocheted creations: bookmarks, bracelets, wallets, hats, baby clothes...Everything is really wonderful! Thank you Anna!

Kako sam divno provela vreme sinoć, praveći neke male, čudne figurice od kartona.  Prvo sam pravila čajanku sa bratanicama i njihovom drugaricom iz komšiluka. Verovatno nešto sa mnom nije u redu, ali meni takvo društvo najviše odgovara. Kad pomislim na kafu, tračeve i turske serije - nekako se naježim. Ne bih volela da ova moja rečenica ikog uvredi, ali ja nikad ne bih mogla da živim tako. I posle tog lepog druženja, reših da se malo poigram mojim papirićima. Iako sam pročitala bezbroj priča za decu, ovi radovi nisu povezani ni sa kakvom posebnom bajkom, oni su nastali potpuno spontano i bez neke posebne namere. Ko zna, možda na osnovu njih nastane neka priča:) Da ne dužim previše evo radova. I had a great time last night, making a small, fantastic creatures. First I made a tea party with my nieces and their friend from the neighborhood. Maybe something wrong with me, but most of my time I spent with children. When I think of coffee, gossip and TV shows - I always feel uncomfo...

Posle višednevnog lenstvovanja reših da se ponovo pokrenem. Opet sam se vratila siluetama. Tako nastade ova devojčica sa cvetom, koju, doduše, tek treba da smestim u neki ambijent. A kakav, još uvek nisam odlučila. Uvek mi je uzbudljivo da pravim ove figurice i nikad nisam sasvim sigurna kako će sve ispasti na kraju. After several days of loafing, I decided to return to work. I do silhouettes again. I made this little girl with the flower, and now I need to put her in some ambient. But I haven't decided yet how it should look. It's always exciting to make these silhouettes, because I was never sure how it will turn out in the end. Ovih mi je dana na pamet često padao moj pokojni mačak Stanislov. Ovo nije slovna greška, njegovo ime je bilo Stanislov, a ne Stanislav. Deca su mu nadenula to ime. To je bio tako pametan i umiljat stvor. I tako reših da napravim jedan crtež... I thought these days about my late cat Stanislov. My nieces gave him that silly name. He was...
