#56 MERRY CHRISTMAS

Tu je del leta, ki je najbolj magičen. Med ljudmi vlada neka posebna energija. Zdi se mi, da smo bolj strpni drug do drugega, se imamo bolj radi in si bolj radodarno poklanjamo prijetne občutke. Edino, kar me v tem času resnično žalosti, so polni nakupovalni centri ljudi, ki mrzlično nakupujejo še zadnje malenkosti, za katere mislijo, da jih nujno potrebujejo.  Ali res potrebujemo vse to? Ali ni dovolj že to, da se imamo radi med seboj, da smo si naklonjeni in prijazni drug z drugim? Mar ni dovolj že samo čas, ki ga bomo preživeli z najbližjimi? Božič je čas, ko se lahko povezujemo, je čas za družino in usmeritev vase, v svoj notranji svet. Ves blišč in hitenje nam le kvari možnost umiritve in poglobitve vase. 25. december ima pomembno vlogo tudi v povezavi z našo najbližjo zvezdo, Soncem, saj se le to začne pomikati nazaj proti severu. Starodavne civilizacije so to pojmovale kot ponovno rojstvo Sonca. Ljudje so bili včasih veliko bolj povezani z naravo in so to zagotovo doživljali močneje. Današnji človek je oropan teh doživetij. Pravzaprav smo se jih oropali sami. Če le natančneje prisluhnemo in se nekoliko poglobimo vase, mislim, da lahko ponovno čutimo in živimo z naravo. Lep in miren božič ti želim!

// Here is the part of the year, which is the most magical. Among the people exist some special energy. It seems to me that we are more tolerant to each other, we love each other more and more generously give pleasant feelings to others. The only thing it makes me sad are shopping centers  full of people who shop with feverish haste until the last little things, they think that they desperately need. Do we really need all this? Is it not already enough that we love each other, that we are kind to and friendly with each other? Is it not enough just the time that we spend with loved ones? Christmas is a time when we can connect, it's time for our family and our focus on inner world. All the brilliance and haste  only ruin the possibility of slowdown and deepening in ourselves. December 25th  has an important role also in relation to our nearest star, the Sun, because it just starts to move back to north. Ancient civilizations understood that as the rebirth of the Sun. People were much more connected to nature and felt this changes more  powerful. Today's man is deprived of these experiences. In fact, we have robbed ourselves. If we only listen more accurately and slightly deepen in ourselves, I think we can feel and live with nature again. I wish you a beautiful and peaceful Christmas!

#55 SOMEONE LIKE YOU

Včasih nekateri ljudje vstopijo v naša življenja tako nepričakovano. Vstopijo tako usodno, da ti naenkrat pomenijo veliko, morda celo preveč. Prižgejo iskrice v naših najtemnejših delih, kjer je že nekaj časa vse temno in pusto. Ali se to zgodi zaradi vsakdanjega dolgčasa in rutine ali zaradi posebne energije, ki jo nosijo s sabo? Odgovora ne vem. V teh trenutkih se zgodi tisto nekaj, kar imamo vsi radi in si vsi želimo. Vsi si želimo biti ljubljeni, spoštovani in priznani s strani nekoga drugega. Občasno pa se ta sveža občutja (pre)hitro zaključijo. Takrat si želimo, da se to sploh ne bi zgodilo in bi se življenje vrnilo nazaj na stare tirnice. Hkrati pa se naše misli še vedno vračajo nazaj na te lepe trenutke in si te želijo spoznati še enkrat.

// Sometimes some people come in our lives so unexpectedly. They come in so fatal, and they suddenely mean a lot to you, maybe even too much. They light sparkles in the darkest parts of us, where everything is some time already dark and deserted. Is this happen beacaus of everyday monotony and rutine or beacuase of some special energy they have? I don't know the answer. But this moment give us something what we all love and wish. We all want to be loved, respected and being confessed by someone else. occasionally those beautiful fresh feelings end (too) soon.  Than we hope that this wouldn't happen and we want our life return back to the old track. But at the same time our thoughts keep return to those beautiful moments and want to meet you again. 

#52 WARM AUTUMN

Ne morem verjeti … Samo še 54 dni in tukaj bo 31. december in konec leta 2015. Danes je bilo tako sončno in toplo, da se mi najdaljša noč v letu sploh še ne zdi blizu. Letos je jesen zelo prijetna. Veliko je sončnih dni in tudi pretiranega mraza še ni bilo. Narava nas tokrat zelo počasi pripravlja na hladnejše dni. Barve jesenskega listja so se imele čas razkazati v vsej svoji razsežnosti. Tudi današnja objava je nekako v jesenskih barvah v videzu 60-ih let. Kadar raziskujem modo in trende preteklih časov, se vedno nekako ustavim v teh letih. Kroji so preprosti in ženstveni. Opaziti je veliko barv ali pa zgolj preproste črno-bele kombinacije. Še dobro, da se moda ponavlja.

// I can't believe … It's just 54 days to 31st of December and to the end of the year 2015. But today was really sunny and warm and it doesn't seem to me that the longest night of the year is so close. This year is autumn so pleasant. There were a lot of sunny days as well as real cold days haven't been there, yet. The nature preparing us really slowly to colder days. The colors of autumn leaves have had time to show in all dimensions. Also, today's announcement is somewhat in autumn colors and represent appearance of the 60's. When I explore fashion and trends of past times, I always stop in 60's. There were a lot of colours or only simple black and white styles. Thankfully the fashion repeats itself.

#31 RAINY DAYS

Današnja objava je z ilustracijo, ki je primerna za nekoliko hladnejše dni. Prihaja nekaj deževnih dni z ohladitvijo, zato se mi je zdela dobra izbira. Res je tudi, da nisem imela časa, da bi narisala nekaj novega. Zadnje čase se mi dogaja veliko sprememb in novosti in v takšnem času pogosto upade tudi moja ustvarjalnost. Misli imam napolnjene z vsemi novimi informacijami in možnimi razpleti. Včasih je kar težko imeti situacijo pod kontrolo in biti ves čas dobro razpoložen, poleg pa še razvijati svojo ustvarjalnost. Vseeno pa verjamem, da ko se stvari ustalijo, se vrne tudi več pozitivnosti in seveda tudi ustvarjalnih misli. Do takrat pa boš lahko spremljal mešanico novih in starih ilustracij.

// Today's post is with an illustration, wich is more suitable for slightly colder days. From today on,  there are a few colder rainy days coming, so it seemed like a good choice. It is also true that I did not have enough time to draw something new. There are a lot of things taking place in my life, recently. During this time I have a decline in my creativity, too. My thoughts are full with all the new information and the possible outcomes. Sometimes it is hard to have the situation under control and to be in a good humour and in addition develop my creativity. However, I believe that when things will settle down, more positiveness will return  and of course more creative thoughts. Until then, you can watch the mix of old and new illustrations.

#21 SIMPLY RED

Rdeča je močna barva. Povezuje se s strastjo, ljubeznijo, energijo, akcijo. Nesamozavestnim naj bi vlivala pogum in odpravljala občutke sramu. Zagotovo je nekaj posebnega na njej. Tudi ženske oblečene v rdečo obleko izkazujejo neko moč in pogum. In ker je barva sama po sebi tako močna in polna, obleka ne potrebuje izrazitega kroja. Obleka je enostavna, oprijeta, ni odprta in ni prekratka. Odkriva ramena, kar mi je trenutno zelo všeč. Takšen stil obleke bi zagotovo nosile samozavestne ženske, ki jim ni težko postaviti na ogled svojega telesa. In zopet smo pri samozavesti. Ali bi nosile to obleko ali ne, je pomembno, da smo samozavestne, optimistične, prepričane vase, hkrati pa še vedno empatične in razumevajoče. Lahko noč!

// Red is a strong colour. It's associated with passion, love, energy, action. To people with low self-esteem a red colour gives courage and suppresses shame. Certainly there is something special in a red colour. Women who wear red dress indicate some kind of power and courage, too. And because the colour is strong by itself, the dress should have a pretty simple cut. The dress is simple, tight, it's not open and not to short. It exposes shoulders, which I like very much at the moment.  That dress's style is probably worn by women with high self-esteem, who don't mind to show their body. And we are talking again about self-esteem. No matter if we wear this dress or not, it is important that we have high self-esteem, are optimistic, are convinced, but on the other hand we should still be empathic and understanding. Good night!

#11 CAMEL SHADE

To risbo sem narisala pred več kot dvema letoma. Spomnim se, da sem bila precej ponosna na njo, saj je kar dodelana. Pravzaprav se mi tudi danes ne zdi slaba. Prevladuje pa barva v kateri je mojih oblačil zelo malo. Zanimivo je, kako hitro se lahko spreminja posameznikov stil oblačenja in kaj vse vpliva na to. Velik vpliv ima seveda spreminjajoča se moda in posledično, kaj lahko dobiš v trgovinah. Vse to pa v zadnjem času oblikujejo slavni ljudje in modni blogerji. Tudi sama jih spremljam kar nekaj. Prav to so osebe, ki imajo v ozadju modne industrije pomembno vlogo. Le ti odločajo, kaj se bo nosilo in kaj ne. Ni čudno, da smo vsi tako zelo uniformirani, čeprav mislimo, da sploh nismo.

// I did this drawing more than two years ago. I remember, that I was pretty proud of it, because it was rather good. Even today I still like it. The main colour used in the illustration is the one that I don't wear often. It is interesting how fast a personal style can change and what kind of factors have an impact on it. The biggest impact is definitely the fast changing fashion world that influences what kind of clothes you can get in stores. Fashion is formed by celebrities and fashion bloggers. I follow a few of them. Actually these people are the main shapers of fashion in the background of fashion industry. They determine what we will wear and what not. It's no wonder that we are so uniformed, although we think, we are not. 

#10 A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Danes je mednarodni dan žena.
"Je dan praznovanja ekonomske, politične in socialne enakopravnosti in dosežkov žensk, praznujejo pa ga predvsem v bivših komunističnih in socialističnih državah." 
(Vir: http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_%C5%BEena) 
Upam, da smo vse ženske sveta imele čudovit dan. In naj tako ostane tudi naslednje dni oziroma celo leto. Sama sem preživela dan umirjeno in lepo. Dopoldansko druženje pri prijateljici, dobro kosilo in delovno popoldne. Tudi vreme je bilo sončno z okusom pomladi. Nekatera sadna drevesa se že razkazujejo v zgodnjepomladanski lepoti z belimi in nežno roza cvetki.  Spodaj objavljeno ilustracijo sem izbrala prav z mislim na pomlad in cvetenje, saj me obleka spominja na odpirajoči se cvet.

// Today is the international women's day. "In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political, and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended the culture of many countries, primarily in Europe, especially those in the Soviet Bloc." 
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day) 
I hope, that all women aroud the World have a beautiful day. And I hope that it will last the entire year. I had a peaceful and beautiful day. In the morning I was at my friend's house, then I had a good lunch and then the working afternoon followed. The weather was sunny with a tiny taste of spring. Some fruit trees are already exhibiting in their early-spring's beauty with white and softly pink little blossoms. I selected today's illustration, with thoughts on the spring time and blossoming, because this dress reminds me of an opening flower. 

#5 EASYBLACK

Usnje, črna barva, enostavnost. To so trije pojmi, ki so ta čas precej popularni v modi. Za nekatere ilustracije se hitro opazi, da so izpred leta ali dveh, saj sem sedaj v obdobju, ko so mi najbolj všeč črna in bela barva ter jeans. Vseeno se mi zdi škoda izpustiti določene risbe za objavo, saj ni nič narobe z njimi. Verjamem tudi, da je tu marsikdo, ki ima rad žive in močne barve, kakršne so uporabljene na risbi.

 // Leather, black colour, simplicity. These are the three notions, which are the most popular in fashion world now. You can quickly find out, that some of the illustrations aren't the newest. In this period I like the most black and white colours and also the colour of jeans. However it seems pity to me, to skip some of them, because nothing is wrong with them. And I believe there are some of you, who like bright and strong colours, which were used on this drawing. 

#3 RISE AND SHINE

V zraku je čutiti pomlad. Sonce sije, temperatura zraka dovoljuje manj zavijanja v oblačila, ptiči so se prebudili in spet bolj živahno prepevajo, narava nas vabi k aktivnostim na prostem. Vem, da še ni konec zime in nas bo vreme zagotovo še ohladilo, pa vendar je vse nekoliko bolj optimistično. Uživaj, kjerkoli že si!

// It feels like spring is in the air. Sun is shining, air temperature allows us less layers of clothes, birds are awake and cheeping more lively, the nature attract us to go outside and be active there. I know, I know that it is not the end of the winter. Weather will probably cool down again. However, everything is much more optimistic. Enjoy, wherever you are!
