#19 PIRATE MAP

Objavljam še tretji zemljevid, ki je bil narisan z enakim namenom kot prva dva, torej iskanje zaklada v otroški igralnici (tukaj in tukaj). Kot se hitro opazi, je ta na tematiko piratov. Danes objavljam nekoliko krajše besedilo, saj moram urediti še neke druge stvari, ki me čakajo. Uživaj miren večer!

// I am publishing the third map, which I drew with the same purpose as other two (here and here). It was created for a treasure hunting game in the children's playroom. As you can see, the map is pirate themed. Today the published text is a bit shorter, because some other things came up today. I hope you have a nice and calm evening! 

#16 TREASURE HUNTING FOR PRINCESSES AND PRINCES

Danes bi rada z vami delila še eno risbo, ki je nastala pred kratkim. Ta je druga v seriji zemljevidov za iskanje zaklada v otroški igralnici. Na prvi so vključena igrala precej očitna. Na tem zemljevidu pa je vse skupaj bolj skrito in mora otrok oziroma skupina otrok bolj razmisliti, kaj predstavlja posamezna enota zemljevida. Kot lahko vidiš, je tematika tega zemljevida bolj v smeri princes in princev. Veselim se že, da bom videla otroke, ki uporabljajo ta zemljevid. Zagotovo se bo v praksi pokazalo, kaj jim je razumljivo in kaj nekoliko manj. Razlike bodo tudi glede na starost in ostale trenutne dejavnike.

Ob pisanju zgornjih vrstic pa sem pomislila tudi na splošno iskanje nečesa, kar ljudje pogosto delamo. Pogosto iščemo nekaj, čeprav ne vemo vedno točno kaj.  Včasih pridemo do iskanega ˝zaklada˝ po lepi in enostavni poti, včasih pa potrebujemo kar nekaj časa, kar nekaj namigov in predvsem volje, da pridemo do njega. Menim, da takšni ˝zakladi˝ niso nikoli v materialni obliki. Pravi ˝zakladi˝ so naša sreča, biti ljubljen in ljubiti, (se) sprejemati, (se) spoštovati, blagostanje (well-being), zdravje, zadovoljstvo in podobno. Upam, da vsak od vas čim bolj uspešno išče takšne zaklade in ne hlepi zgolj po materialni dobrobiti.

// Today I would like to share with you one more drawing, which rose not that long ago. This one is the second one in the series of the treasure hunting maps for a game in a children playroom. In the first one the playsets were pretty obvious. On this one everything is somehow more hidden so the child or group of children have to think a little more to figure out what each of the units represents. As you can see, the base theme of that map is something about a princesses and princes. I am looking forward to see children who will actually use this map. Certainly, it will be shown in practice what they understand and where they may have some difficulties. Differences will probably depend on age and other factors.

When I was writing the above lines I thought that we all are often looking for something. Often we are searching for something, but we don't actually know what it is exactly.  Sometimes we find the ˝treasure˝ we have been looking for with a nice and easy way but sometimes we need a lot of time, a lot of hints and above all a lot of will to come to it. I think that such ˝treasures˝ are never in a material form. Real ˝treasures˝ are our happiness, love and being loved, self acceptance and accepting others, self respect and respecting others, well-being, health, satisfaction and alike. I hope that every one  of you is successfully searching for  that kind of treasures and not material goods. 

#12 ARE WE RUNNING TODAY?

Danes sem se udeležila teka, ki poveže dva čudovita dela slovenske obale – soline. Traso sem pretekla drugič, prvič leta 2013. Tekla sem veliko bolje in dosegla 10. mesto med ženskami. Priznam, da sem ponosna na letošnji rezultat. V njem se odraža kar nekaj pretečenih kilometrov in drugih vadb. Tek in vadba mi zagotovo dajeta tisto nekaj, kar me dela bolj vztrajno, bolj pozitivno in bolj srečno. Tudi vreme mi je bilo pisano na kožo, saj je bilo sončno s prijetnimi pomladanskimi temperaturami.

Risba, ki jo objavljam danes sicer nima neke velike povezave s tekom, je pa zelo sveža, saj je nastala pred dvema dnevoma. Prikazuje načrt za igro iskanja zaklada v eni izmed otroških igralnic. Načrtu je potrebno vrisati še pot, po kateri so bo iskalo zaklad. Ilustracijo objavljam, ker je nekaj čisto nasprotnega, kar rišem navadno in mi je bil svojevrsten izziv. Ugotovila sem, da moram pogosteje narisati še kaj drugega, saj tako dobim več motivacije za risanje. Zanimivo se je bilo posvetiti tudi vsem detajlom, senčenju ipd.

// Today I was running in a race, which links two beautiful spots of Slovenian seaside – saltpans. I ran this route for the second time, firstly in 2013. This time I was running much faster and I scored a 10th place in  women category. I am pretty proud of that result. It reflects my dedication to run and working out a lot, so this is the result.  Runing and working out gives me something, that makes me more enduring, more positive and happier. The weather was perfect, It was sunny and the temperatures were plesently spring alike.

Today's illustration have nothing to do with running, actually. But it is brand new, because I draw it two days ago. It represents a map for  a treasure hunting game in one of the children's playrooms. The map doesn't containg the path for searching, yet. I posted this drawing beacause it is something totally different from that what I usually draw. It was a unique challenge for me. I found out that I have to draw more often something different, because that gives me a whole new motivation for drawing. It was interesting to draw all of the details, the shading etc.
