Winter Fun

Priznam, da mi je grozno, da sem zanemarila blog. Mislim, da vsi vemo kako čas hitro teče takrat ko mu ni treba. Želim si, da bi vam obljubila, da od zdaj naprej bom bolj pridna z objavami na blogu, ampak v resnici še sama ne vem ali mi bo uspelo. Vam pa lahko obljubim, da če me boste pogrešali, da me vedno najdete na Instagramu in Facebook strani. Toliko zaenkart lahko zares obljubim, da tam sem in bom redno aktivna.

Mene je zima popolnoma očarala. Čeprav sem zelo zmrzljiv človek jo imam rada in od kar imam Bena jo tudi zares izkoristim, ne samo skozi okno tako kot je to bilo zadnja leta.  Če se le da se v sedem v avto in odpeljem dva kilometra stran od mojega doma kjer imam dostop do narave, do gozda in miru. Družbo mi vedno delata moj Ben in fotoaparat. Naslednjič vam obljubim, da delim z vami nekaj fotografij.

Tokrat pa bi vam pokazala novo ilustracijo, ki pa je že v moji Etsy trgovini. Navdih za njo je bila seveda zima in otroci.

I admit that I feel terrible that I neglected blog. I think we all know how time flies when you do not need it. I wish I could promise you that from now on I will be more regularly activ on the blog, but in reality I don't know if I will be. I can promise you that if you miss me that you can always find me on Instagram and Facebook page. I can really promise that you can always find me there.

the winter completely charmed me. Although I am very freezable I love it.  If I have enought time I go with my car two kilometers away from my home where I havebeautiful nature, forest and the most important peace. My company are always my Ben and camera. Next time, I promise to share with you some photos.

This time I would like to show you a new illustration that is already in my Etsy shop. The inspiration for it was winter, and of course children.

Have a great start of the week!

Fall In Love

Jesen je pokazala svoje prečudovite barve. Po mesecu lepega vremena je prišel tudi dež. Nič hudega, letos je zares bila radodarna. Upam le, da dež ne bo predolgo trajal, vseeno sem še polna planov. Jesen je eden izmed ljubših letnih časov, kar pa ni bilo od nekdaj. V šolskih dneh se semptembra nikoli nisem veselila in takrat mi je jesen pomenila le začetek šole. Tokrat je drugače. Navdaja je me z mirnostjo, ob lepih vremenih me sonce nežno boža in barve jeseni so najlepše, še posebej za fotografijo.

Moja nova ilustracija je zato igra besed. Jesen in ljubezen. Ljubezen do jeseni. Ilustracija je že na volji v Etsy trgovini.

Autumn has shown beautiful colours. After a month of good weather came the rain. Nevermind, this year has been really generous. I just hope that the rain will not last too long, I have still so much plans. Autumn is one of the favorite seasons, but this was not always. In school days September was never happy month and It meant to me only the beginning of school. This time is different. It fills me with calmnes, on the beautiful weather sun gently caress me and the autumn colors are beautiful, especially for a photography. 

My new illustration is therefore a play of words. Autumn (Fall) and love. The love of autumn. Illustration is already in my Etsy shop.

Mushroom pattern

September naj bi bil mesec ko zaviham rokave in se lotim svojih projektov. Otroci so v šoli in jaz imam več časa, da se posvetim delu. Predvsem imam več miru. Seveda pa vedno ne gre vse po planu in tudi tokrat ni nič drugače. Že drugi teden se borim z virozo, ki se me še kar drži. Največja težava je, da si ne vzamem dovolj časa in odležim. 

Vseeno pa mi je uspelo začeti z delom z mojimi dolgo pričakovanimi voščilnicami in h krati sem se začela poigravati z vzorci. Poleg kartic so vzorci nekaj kar že dolgo planiram. Tokrat so malo bolj jesensko obarvani. vse je še v nastajanju in že veselim se končnega izdelka. 

Ilustracija lisice in volka (brez napisa) sta še veno na voljo v moji Etsy trgovini.

September would be the month when I roll up my sleeves and do my projects. Children are at school and I have more time for my work. Above all, I have more peace. Of course, not always everything goes according to plan, and this time is no different. For the second week I fight with virosis. The biggest problem is that I do not take enough time for rest. 

However, I was able to start working with my long-awaited greeting cards and also I started playing around with the pattern. Cards and pattern are something I plan for a long time. This time they are a little more autumn-colored. everything is still in progress and I look forward to the finished work. 

Illustration of fox and wolf (with no caption) are still available in my Etsy shop.

Playfull Nautical Story With A Purpose

Ilustracija je natala na pobudo Sue B. Zimmerman. Se jo še spominjate? Spoznali sva se preko predavanja o Instagramu, ki ga je vodila. Opazila je moje delo in navezala kontakt z mano. Od takrat naprej sva neprestano v stiku. Sue je vedno polno enkratnih idej in ena izmed mnogih je tudi ta. Prišla je do ideje, da naredim ilustracijo z nautičnimi elementi, otroki in labradorcem za skupni projekt. Kaj več o tem izveste kasneje ko bo stvar pripeljana do konca.

Po slikah lahko vidite kako je ilustracija nastajala, od skice do končnega dela.

*

The illustration was created at the initiative of Sue B. Zimmerman. Do you still remember her? We met through classes on Instagramu. She noticed my work, and then she contact with me. From then on, we are staying in touch. Sue is always full of great ideas and this is one of the many. She came up with the idea to do an illustration with nautical elements, children and Labrador for a project. More about that I will tell you when we were finnished.

You can see a little process how illustration grow, from the sketch to final work.

 

Have a Great Summer

Vse se je tako hitro dogajalo, da nisem uspela sporočiti na odhajam na počitnice. Verjamem, da vsi, ki ste me spremljali na drugih omrežjih kot so, Instagram, Facebook ali Etsy, ste to izvedeli. 

Ob vseh teh lepih stvari, ki so se mi dogajale, priznam da mi je bilo težko pustiti moje delo in oditi. Ko sem bila končno na počitnicah pa si nisem mogla predstavljati, da bi ostala doma. Bilo je čudovito. Edina napak je bila, da so bile prekratke. 

Vsi vi, ki vas počitnice še čakajo, vam želim da bodo lepe, predvsem pa da bodo take, ki si jih želite. Vsem skupaj pa lepo poletje!

It all happened so fast that I could not tell you that I'm leaving on vacation. I believe that all of you who fiollow me on the other social media, such as, Instagram, Facebook or Etsy, you saw it. 

With all these beautiful things that are happening to me, I admit it's been hard to leave my job and leave. When I was finally on vacation I could not imagine to stay at home. It was wonderful. The only fault was that they were too short. 

All of you that you are still waiting holidays, I wish you to be nice and the way how you imagine.

And all of you wish a great Summer!

Embrace Your Love

Že nekaj časa je, odkar sem naredila skico za ilustracijo, ki pa je čakala na primeren čas, da jo obudim. Ilustracijo sem končala, naredila kratek video kako rišem rožice in ga objavila na instagramu . Ogledate si lahko tudi video kako je potekal proces nastajanja ilustracije. Vse to je na mojem instagramu, nekaj malega pa je tudi tukaj.

Objemi svojo ljubezen, izkoristi trenutek, ker v resnici je to edino pomembno.

Some time now when I made a sketch, but now was the perfect momemnt to make it in illustration. Illustration is finished and I made a short video how I draw little flowers and also a working process video. Both of them you can see on my Instagram.

Embrace your loved ones, every day! Seize the moment!

A Beautiful Gardener's Journal by Rose

Moja dnevna (če sem popolnoma iskrena tedenska) rutina je bloganje, ne toliko pisanje svojega (na tem potrebujem še veliko vaje), kot branje blogov iz celega sveta. Okno v svet se mi odpre v trenutku ko sedem pred računalnik. Ena izmed mojih ljubših revij je UPPERCASE, čeprav si je še nisem lastila. Občudujem jo preko mojega okna v svet in si predstavljam kako fino bi jo bilo imeti zares v rokah. H krati pa se potapljam v UPPERCASE-ovem blogu, uživam v njihovih predstavitvah, člankih, umetnikih.

My daily (if I'm completely honest weekly) routine is blogging, not so much writing my own, but reading blogs from around the world. My window to the world is opened when I sit on computer. One of my favorite magazines is UPPERCASE, although I've never have it in my hands. I admire the magazine and imagine how fine it would be to have it also in my hands not just looking by the computer. I love Uppercase blog, I enjoy their presentations, articles of artists.

Pomlad je bila polna vrtnarjenja, rožic, sadik, zelenjave in zato mi je v oči padla objava vrtnarskega dnevnika  Rose Jocham. Zaljubila sem se v njene ilustracije, vzorce. Običajno me privlačijo ilustracije, ki so popolnoma nasprotje mojemu stilu in tukaj je podobno. Nežni akvarelčki, barvna skala in simpatični rokopis, težko je da ti ne bi bilo všeč. Sem velik ljubitelj vzorcev in lahko bi jih opazovala ves čas. Rosejini vzorci so prekrasni in mislim, da bodo všeč tudi vam.

Objavo o Rose Jocham si lahko preberete tudi na UPPERCASE-ovem blogu. Obiščite njeno spletno stran in ne pozabite na Uppercase!

Spring was full of gardening, flowers, seedlings, vegetables and I saw a post of gardenest journal's of Rose Jocham. I fell in love in her illustrations, designs. I usually attracted to illustrations that are completely opposite of my style and here is similar. Gentle watercolours, color chart and cute handwriting is difficult that you would not like it. I'm a big fan of patterns and can watched them at all time. Rose patterns are beautiful and I think you will like it.

Publication of Rose Jocham you can read on UPPERCASE blog. Visit her website you will fell in love!

Winter and Spring

 Tukaj sta dve ilustraciji izmed štirih. Zima in pomlad. Le kateri dve sta naslednji? Seveda gre za štiri letne čase. In ilustracije so namenjene čudoviti osebi. Komaj čakam, da vam pokažem še ostale.

Here are two illustrations of four. Winter and spring. Which of the two are next? Of course, it is all about four seasons. Illustrations are for a very wonderful and sweet person. I can not wait to show you the others.

Sleeping Friends

Spring Rabbit

Na domačem vrtu so me očarale vse cvetlice, ki so pokukale ven. Zajček se mi že nekaj časa mota po glavi. In tako je nastala nova ilustracija, ki jo že najdete v moji Etsy trgovini.

On the home garden, I was fascinated by all the flowers that are starting to get out.  have bunny in my head for some time now. And so I created a new illustration, which you can find in my Etsy shop.

New in the Shop

In my Etsy shop are now new art prints avalible. Have a beautiful monday!

Spring is coming

Čas je, da se poslovimo od zime in da na široko odpremo roke pomladi. Vreme je že nekaj časa prekrasno in priznam, da ga vsak dan izkoristim. Čutim, da se mi telo prebuja. Začetna utrujenost je minila in vsak dan sem bolj polna z energijo. Sedaj imam že ritual. Po jutranji kavi in pomarančnemu soku se odpravim ven za uro in pol. Temu je zaslužen Ben. Če ne bi bilo njega bi se verjetno marsikatero jutro nadaljevalo z delom, tako pa je naju popelje v naravo. Najina končna destinacija je travnik, ob katerem teče potok. Običajno je v jutranjih urah še vse mirno. Sonček prijetno greje. Uležem se na travnik, medtem pa Ben nabira palice in jih grizlja. Preden odideva domov tekava po travniku s palicami v rokah in v gobčku. Se loviva in igrava, predvsem pa uživava v vonju in zvoku narave. Vse kar mi pride na misel je.. ko bi vsaj trajalo.

It is time to say goodbye to winter and the wide open arms of spring. The weather is beautiful for some time now and I admit that I take it every day. I feel that my body is waking up. Initial fatigue is gone and every day I am more full of energy. Now I have a ritual. After morning coffee and orange juice I go out for an hour and a half. This is a well deserved Ben. If I woludn't have him, it would probably be many mornings continued with the work, so it takes us into nature. Our final destination is the meadow, at which the stream flows. Usually is in the morning still all quiet. Pleasantly warm sunshine. Lie down on the meadow, while Ben collects sticks and he nibbles it. Before I go home we run in the meadow with sticks in our hands and mouth. We were chatching and playing, especially we enjoyed the smell and sound of nature. 

You are my sweetheart

Za vsako ilustracijo stoji zgodba. Običajno je to moja osebna izkušnja ali pa sanjarjenje, ki se mi zgodi, ko razmišljam naj si bodi med sprehodom, za delovno mizo, na kavču, v avtu. Pred dnevi sem bila pred izzivom, da napišem zgodbo, sem ugotovila da bi to lahko večkrat storila. Moja zgodba ostane pri meni, pokažem pa ilustracijo, ki govori namesto besed. V prihodnje vam razkrijem kakšno od svoji zgodb tudi preko napisanih besed. Ben je moja velika ljubezen (seveda poleg mojih treh fantov). Predvsem je pa nekdo, ki je neprestano ob meni. Redko kdaj se ločiva, spremlja me tudi po opravkih. Kadar ne more z mano, me pridno počaka v avtu. Rad se pelje v avtu, zato ga tudi pogostokrat vzamem s sabo. 

Včasih se uležem na tla in ga opazujem, občudujem, on pa me tako resno gleda. Najraje bi ga mečkala po rokah in nosila v naročju, on pa ni take vrste pes. Razlagam si, da mi ugodi želje zato, ker me spoštuje in ker tudi jaz njega spoštujem, pazim, da se mu ne vsiljujem. Včasih le ležim na tleh in ga opazujem in on opazuje mene, kot vidite na spodnji ilustraciji.

For each illustration stands a story. Normally, this is my own personal experience or daydream that happens to me during a walk, siting by the desk, on the couch, in the car. A few days ago I was challenged to write a story, I sked myself why can I do this more. My story stays with me, but an illustration speaks instead of the words. I decided I will reveal some of my stories. Ben is my great love (of course, in addition to my three boys ). He is someone who is constantly with me . He accompanies me on an errand. He loved to drive with me in the car and waits me, when he has to. 

Sometimes I lie down on the floor and watch him, admire, and he looks at me so seriously. I'd cuddle him on my hands and wore in my lap and he is not that kind of dog . I think he grant my wishes because he treat me with respect and because I respect him, so I take care that does not impose to him . Sometimes I'm just lying on the floor and watch him and he is watching me, like you see on illustration below.
