#54 PURPLE

Sprehajala sem se po mestu. Veseli december je že razodeval vse svoje čare. Žareče lučke sijejo z okoliških dreves in stavb. Nekaj lučk so spretni delavci postavili tudi nad trge in ulice. Vse je videti čarobno in pravljično. Iz majhnih lesenih hišic vije vonj po čaju in kuhanem vinu. Vonj cimeta, klinčkov in vsega sladkega. Opazujem ljudi. Videti so srečni, zadovoljni in veseli. Družijo se. Nekateri pari se držijo za roke, se poljubljajo in si v ušesa šepečejo besede, ki so namenjene samo drug drugemu. Nekateri so v družbi prijateljev. Veselo se pogovarjajo, obujajo skupne doživete trenutke in se na vsake toliko glasno zasmejijo v en glas. Morali so doživeti res nekaj lepega! Ko pogledam v izložbe vidim lučke v notranjosti trgovin, ljudi, ki se motajo med policami in oglase, kaj vse lahko kupimo svojim najbližjim in najdražjim. Ja, veseli december je v polnem zamahu! Na ulici zagledam tudi mlado žensko, ki se drži mladega moškega.  Lepo sta urejena in videti zaljubljena. Pri punci vidim, da je vijoličen plašček nekoliko preveč napet. Pod srcem nosi novo bitje, otročička, ki je sad njune ljubezni. Veseli me, da sta videti srečna, zadovoljna in zaljubljena drug v drugega in v življenje. Oči se jima svetijo od ponosa in vseh lučk v bližini. Pomislim na moje prijateljice, ki so rodile oziroma so že/še v pričakovanju. V mislih vsem, zaželim srečo, da so ljubljene in njihovi otročički zdravi. Sama pa vseeno pomislim, da zame še ni ta čas in bom raje nekaj časa še ostala v obliki v kateri sem sedaj.  Za druge občutke in trenutke imam še čas.

// I was walking down the street. Happy December already revealed all its charms. Glowing lights shining from the trees and buildings around me. Some of this Christmas lights and Christmas illuminations  are placed above the squares and streets. Skilled workers set all this beautiful images.  Everything seems magical and fairy. From small wooden houses meandering smell of tea and mulled wine. The smell of cinnamon, cloves, and all sweet. I'm watching people. They look satisfied and happy. They are hanging out. Some couples holding hands, kissing and whisper words in the ears,  that are intended only to each other. Some of people are in the group of friends. They are talking cheerful, restoring common experience, and every once they all together laugh loud. Probably they experienced something really nice! When I look through the shop window I see lights inside the stores, people who potter around the shelves and ads about what you can buy to your nearest and dearest. Yeah, happy December is in full swing! On the street I see a young woman who hold a young man. They are well-dressed  and I can feel love between them. I notice that girl's purple coat is a bit too tight. Under her heart grows a new creature, the baby, who  is the result of their love. I am pleased that they look happy, satisfied and in love with each other and with life. Them eyes shine with pride and from all the lights in the nearness. I think to all my girlfriends who gave birth or they  are already / still expecting. In my mind I wish everyone, good luck to be loved and their babies healthy. However I think that for me is not this time, yet.  I will rather stay in the "form" in which I am now . I have still time for this other feelings and moments. 

#42 LOVE ALL THE PIECES

Že nekaj časa nazaj sem opazila mojstrovine Zuhaira Murada. Zgodila se je ljubezen na prvi pogled. Všeč so mi njegovi couture in poročni kosi kot tudi stvaritve za vsak dan. Danes pa me je pot ponovno zanesla na njegovo stran in odločila sem se, da narišem nekaj njegovega. Všeč so mi vse njegove stvaritve, zato je bila odločitev precej težka. Odločila sem se za dvodelni set v barvi fuksije. Všeč mi je preprostost in eleganca. Želim si, da bi si lahko lastila vsaj nekaj njegovega in bi hkrati imela priložnost nositi tako lepa oblačila.

// I noticed a masterpieces of Zuhair Murad a while ago. It was a love at first sight. I love his couture and bridal pieces as well as ready-to-wear garment. Today I came back to his web page and I decided to draw something from his collections. I love all his creations so the decision which one to choose was pretty difficult. I decided for his two-pieces set in fuchsia colour. I like the simplicity and elegance. I wish I could have at least one of his pieces and at the same time have the opportunity to wear such a beautiful garment. 

#25 THINK, PLAY, DREAM, FEEL, LOVE, LIVE …

Opravljaj vse to in še več. Razmišljaj izven danih okvirjev, poglobi se v tok misli, pluj z njimi. Igraj se z življenjem, zavedaj se, da ga vodiš sam. Sanjaj o stvareh, ki si jih želiš, saj si s sanjami že korak bližje. Čuti sebe, čuti okolico, bodi v ravnovesju. Ljubi vse kar te obdaja, saj se ti bo ljubezen vračala. Živi svoje življenje in si upaj. Sprejmi sebe in druge, takšne kot so.

// Do all this and even more. Think outside the box,get lost in your flow, go with it. Play with life, be conscious that it is in your hands. Dream about things you wish, because with dreams you are already one step closer. Feel yourself, feel the surroundings, be balanced. Love everything around you, because love will return. Live your life and dare. Accept yourself and others just the way they are. 

#17 LONG WHITE DRESS

Veliko deklet ali žensk si želi obleči dolgo belo obleko enkrat v življenju. Nekaterim uspe, nekatere si jo oblečejo večkrat, druge pa nikoli. Kakorkoli, pomlad me spominja tudi na čas porok, saj se v tem obdobju število le-teh poveča. Narisana bela obleka je elegantna, dolga in vseeno ravno prav seksi. Te tri besede dobro opišejo tudi obleko, kakršno bi si izbrala sama, če bi bila pred to odločitvijo. Sprva sem mislila, da bom celotno risbo senčila zgolj s svinčniki. Začela sem z obleko in se med tem odločila, da bom ostalo pobarvala z barvicami. Dodala bi še to, da obleka žal ni moja zamisel. Z ilustracijo sem zelo zadovoljna. Upam, da bo navdihnila tudi koga izmed vas za to življenjsko odločitev.  

// A lot of girls or women have a wish to dress that white and long dress once in a lifetime. For some of them the wish comes true, some wears it more then once, others never. However, spring reminds me of the wedding time, because at that time the number of weddings increases. The white dress which I draw is elegant, long and it is just right sexy. Those three words very well describe the dress which I would chose, if I would be at that point in my life. At first I thought to just shade all the drawing with only pencils. I started with the dress and during that time I decided to colour the rest with the coloured pencils. I would like to say that unfortunately this dress is not my own idea. I am satisfied with how the illustration came out. I hope that it will inspire some of you for this life decision.
