Creative Zagreb

Somehow I was able to find a few minutes (and I really mean 'a few minutes'!) in Zagreb to visit another creatively colored art market, in a nice ambient where the market was perfectly set up in (the art works had 'space' to 'breath').
I enjoyed it! (I guess it shows on the photographs, eh?)

(a fitting ambient; with works:...)

(...in reduced color palette)

(...in colored color palette)

(...in natural palette)

(...and in B/W palette)

Oh, how my fingers wanted to create!...

Unfortunately, it was no time to record the names of the artists of those interesting creative works :(.

How about you? Have you been to any exhibitions lately or to an inspiring market?

Cuteable

My blue bird was featured at a wonderful blog, full of inspiration and ideas! Yeee! :)

Whiteness

It started yesterday - at the market in Logatec:

My exhibited works were in harmony with it as well:

And it continues today - from the warm home:

I love whiteness!

Invitation waiting for you...

...in Creatissimo Lab...

St.Nicholas' Market

(screenprinting in progress)

A perfect time for holiday shopping. And you will be able to see my works 'eye to eye' ;)!
See you there!

You are invited...

...to a regional exhibition of art works:

Med besedo in podobo

the opening will be on
Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 7 pm - in Logatec

39 artists will exhibit art works which were inspired by a literature and other texts.


(a detail from my triptych: Steps)

Looking forward seeing you there!

Today...

...I feel better than yesterday and even better than over the weekend... I've got sick with a virus and I had to spend the weekend in bed.
After a special diet, full of vitamins, minerals, time without books, computer, phone, talking, etc, etc, I'm back on my feet and will be able to attend the openning of the exhibition in castle Turjak (today at 7 p.m. - you could read about it on my website and FBpage). There you can play a detective and look for my art work (actually, there are 3 ;) ).


If you can't make it, then you can make yourself busy with creative work. How about painting the wooden frame?!

Of course you will find the instructions how to do that on the www Dom in Stil, when you click the link:

paint the wooden frame

If you don't know what kind of colour of the frame to choose for a particular painting, you'll find some tips about that in the article as well.

That's about it for today. Tomorrow...
Hm, tomorrow I'll have to be in even better shape as I'll have workshops with kids in one of the libraries. Ooops, I guess you've read about that on my website already, right?

Stay healthy and 'on the go'!

Sweet Istria 2010

We were in Koper.

We had a beautiful weather... well, with some clouds.

But we were safe under the roof just in case of the rain (which was later proved to be a wise decision, because it was shower in the afternoon).

This year Sweet Istria was sweet for sure.

I admit, I was slow and I didn't manage to photograph the creative process and artists at work. Again, I worked with glittering in the sea - see the detail bellow (I won't show you the whole painting as it will be exhibited in the galleries around Slovenia, so you'll have to come and see it yourself).

I only managed to take pictures of some boats after I finished the painting.

And at the end I had some time to enjoy in a warm, nice evening.

This year at Sweet Istria I also enjoyed in some interesting moments: chatting about frescoes, art, having fun hearing oooh and aaaaah's when people looked at my own creations, talking about painting cabinets, photography, creating with children and child psychology, and more and more. No wonder that there was no time for the creativity! ;)

And another interesting (not so nice) thing has happened to me.
One lady has photographed my illustrations, which were placed on display in the 'album'. She just turned the pages and photographed page by page. Without asking for permition, without even looking at me. ????? I didn't want to make a big deal out of it at first (I was too tired to quarrel) but just when I wanted to say something to her, she finished her photo 'session' and went away.
Well, this is something I've never really experienced before and would like to hear your opinion. What to do?
And one more thing to ask you ... if you notice my works published somewhere without any credits (on FB or blog or...), please let me know. I guess, I'll have to take matters more under control and not simply trust that all are familiar with basic behaviour and rules of the game... Unfortunately...

But to sum this up, Sweet Istria was once again fun and creative, and it's always a pleasure to be creative together with other artists - inspiring!

You're coming, aren't you?

If you didn't read this news on the website, and if you didn't check the events on the Facebook page, and if you didn't follow the link from the previous year, then I really don't know how we're going to see each other??? Come and taste the sweets, check out the artists who will paint there, come and buy our works and enjoy the great atmosphere there. On Sunday. I will be there! (And please, say hi, so that we can meet in person!)

It will not rain they say, but if the rain comes anyway, there's going to be roof for you and me and everybody!

PS:
Next time I will not tell you about what's going on... You will have to check the web site or Facebook page for that kind of information, ok? ;)

Come!

Tomorrow, 4.7.2010, come and see us in
Logatec, at the church of St.Nikolaj!

The event will take place at 4 pm until 7 pm, but we, the artists will be in Logatec from 9 am already!
Come and see!

Yes, in July, it will be more time for me to paint and create. Yeeeees!!
Some thought I'm going on vacation, but actually I just 'go' back to my painting and creative things. For the inspiration I'll have sights like this one and this one from my blog posts. Who needs a vacation if I have beautiful sights like that in my mind?!?

Anyway, make sure to come to Logatec tomorrow and meet me there in person - I can't wait to meet you!!

Going on...

...a lot!

Have you noticed that I haven't been on-line a lot lately? What can I say? Things are going on, going on..., so there is a little time left for my hyperactive guy (read: my computer).

This week, my days were the days of learning, flying lessons, exploring my inner self, creating among the books, organizing disorganized, and some funny and exciting adventures somewhere in between.

All details very soon, when I will talk about:
*how I was filled with energy at expressive therapy
*how I worked on our family model at art therapy
*flying lessons with many creative souls and our guide Kelly Rae
*creating with children among the books in Ljubljana's libraries (more about that here: link)
*funny events with the Dom in Stil Team, when the rain interfered our work and photoshooting in the nature (you can read an introduction to the dramatic story of our adventures here: link, and see the first pictures here: link)

And while I was not here, I've got some new visitors on my blog! Yoopie! :) All of you who have visited my blog for the first time, I want to say to you: you are always welcome! I'd be glad if you comment, ask, suggest creative ideas and tell something about yourselves on my blog :).

And all of you, my loyal followers of my blog, thank you for all the encouraging and interesting comments, every-day visits, and for the words that make me think... I'm grateful for you :)!

You know, for some time I have a little surprise waiting to be delivered to one of you, my loyal followers... It may knock on your door very soon, who knows?! :) As you know, I don't let the machine to choose the 'winner', I always choose a person whom I admire (and thank) for his/her words, creative ideas, thoughts, effort a person puts into my life, my blog. I believe that we never know when just a word, a smile, a handshake makes someone happy and makes his/her life better. This can be you and this is maybe a meaning of your life!

I promise, I'll visit you and your blog as well. I did not forget you!
There's also a list of new 'flying' friends waiting for me. I checked a few blogs already, but I would like to leave some comments there - there are so many gorgeous posts out there, I can't wait to have time to explore all! I'm soooooo happy that I've joined the Kelly Rae's e-course and have now so many creative souls next to me to be inspired, supported and loved :)! Thank you, my new friends - it's great to fly with you all :)!

And last but not least, a while ago I promissed you more pictures from my wandering with my Tiny paintings... So here they are...

(Are not the Slovene coastal houses photogenic? "- See the pictures above...)

(and isn't that creative atmosphere super great?)

(and here are some yummy goodies:)

(and traditional costume of Primorska Region)

How about you? Have you visited any interesting places lately or have been creative these days? I can't wait to hear what you've been up to!!

Little birdy

Because of a very busy timetable...

...I have no choice
but to ask
my favourite little bird
to sing songs for you
in the meantime...

Oh, well, you'll have to choose the melody yourself ;) ...

Our Cultural Day...

Underground Advent

My Sunday underground exploration for fresh ideas:

Ex-tempore Piran

Last Saturday morning I took my bike to our Slovenian coast and cycled

from Koper via Izola, Strunjan and Portorož to Piran.

There I went to see the ex-tempore exhibition. Here you can see my favourite works:
- paintings:

(isn't it gorgeous?!)

(and here is the colourful world of author David Ličen)

- ceramics:

On my way back I enjoyed the beautiful scenery with olive trees and vineyards, and in Koper, I was welcomed by a beautiful, warm sunset-light.

I'll tell you how was it in Koper this Sunday, on the ex-tempore 'Sweet Istria', some day soon.

Keep your creative spirit running!
