#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. 

#53 TRUE COLOURS

V meglenih dneh, ki so bili stalnica zadnjih nekaj dni, ni bilo videti prav veliko barv. Vseeno pa zato ni potrebno, da smo tudi sami otožni in sivega razpoloženja. V kratkih in sivih dneh se lahko več posvetimo drug drugemu in sami sebi. Čas lahko namenimo tudi urejanju notranjih prostorov, še posebej, če v njih preživimo veliko časa.

Tokratna ilustracija je ilustracija modela z modne revije Victoria's Secret izpred nekaj let. Pritegnile so me barve in ljubkost. Kljub temu, da je precej gola (kako pa naj bi bilo drugače, če znamka predstavlja spodnje perilo), me spominja na hladne poznojesenske in zimske večere, ko se toplo oblečemo v pletena oblačila, se udobno namestimo na kavč s skodelico toplega čaja in se pogovarjamo z našimi bližnjimi.

// Last few days have been really foggy and we could't see a lot of colours. This doesn't necessary mean, that we are melanholic. In this short and grey days we should devote to each other and to ourselfs. We should spend some time for make tidy interior, too. I think this is pretty important, especially if we spend a lot of time in it.

This illustration represents a model from Victoria's Secret few years ago. I like the colours and prettiness. Although she is pretty naked (how could it be otherwise, if the trade mark presents underwear), reminds me of the cold late autumn and winter evenings, when we put on warm knitted clothes, find some comfortable position on the couch with a cup of hot tea and talk with our loved ones.

#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. 

#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!
