Ben Again

Vem... spet Ben. Kup novih stvari je, ki vam jih želim pokazati, ampak čakajo, da jih uredim preden jih objavim. Glede na to, da je Ben moja velika inspiracija sem se tudi tokrat odločila, da ga delim z vami. Tokrat objavljam drugačne slike, ki ste jih navajeni. Malo sva se igrala z belim ozadjem in mislim, da ni je prav dobro izpadlo.

I know.. Ben again. It is so many thingst that I would like to share with you, but I have to edit them before publishing. You know that Ben is my big inspiration so I wanted to share with you his photos. They are a little different, not in a nature like as usual. We were playing whit white background.

It's been awhile

Minilo je že nekaj časa od zadnje objave. Nekako mi ne uspe narediti vsega začrtanega. Poletne počitnice, kar pomeni da zna biti delo od doma precejšen izziv, ko imaš polno hišo otrok. Potem je tukaj še ostalo delo, ki je vezano na poletje in na koncu ostane precej malo časa za blog. Na sploh ko moraš slalomirati med vsemi temi stvarmi, ukvarjati se z vsemi socialnimi omrežji. Planirala sem, da bo poletje čas za moj osebni projekt. To sem bila v zmoti! Ni mi hudega in nikoli mi ni grozno, da se plani spremenijo, važno je le da se kolo vrti naprej.

It's been awhile since the last post. Somehow I fail to do everything I want to. Summer holidays, which means that it can be work from home quite a challenge when you have a house full of children. Then there's the rest of the work, which is linked to the summer and in the end remains quite a bit of time to blog. In general, when you have do all these things, deal with all the social networks and the others things. I was planning to summer time for my personal project. I was wrong! I'm ok and for me it is never terribly when plans change, what matters is only that the wheel rotates forward.

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!

It is all about moments in your life

Zadnje dni (tedne) sem delala ves čas, cel dan, do poznega večera. Če nisem risala, sem fotografirala, pripravljala slike, urejala spletno trgovino, še bolj pomembno pa, bila sem zaposlena z vsemi napotki zadnjega predavanja o marketingu. Stvari so veliko bolj enostavne ko veš za pravi način in še lepše je ko te zaradi tega najdejo ljudje, ki cenijo tvoje delo. Hvala vsem vam, ki me spremljate že od vsega začetka in dobrodošli vsi ostali, ki ste se mi na novo pridružili.

Pride pa čas, ko potrebuješ nekaj trenutkov zase, ne glede kako uživaš v svojem delu. Z veseljem sem zagrabila priložnost in se odpravila ven, v gozd. Tam kjer se čarobnost začne. Tam kjer se pišejo pravljice in rodijo nove ideje. Seveda sem vse to delila z mojim malim prijateljem Benom.

Last days (a would say weeks) I was working all the time, all day until late evening. I drew, photographed, preparing images, editing my online store, but more importantly, I was busy with all the information of the last course for marketing. Things are much more simple when you know the right way and even better is when, because of this, you find people who appreciate your work. Thanks to all of you who follow me from the beginning and support me and welcome all the others who have joined me in last days.

It comes a time when you need a few moments for yourself, no matter how you enjoy your work. I grabbed the opportunity and went out into the woods. That's where the magic begins. That's where the writing fairy tales and give birth to new ideas. Of course, I have share this with my little friend Ben.

Loving Nature

Magic in the Woods

You can always find the magic in the woods!

Love

Ilustracija je bila narejena po naročilu za prekrasno osebo, ki ima za sabo veliko avanturo. Verjetno ste opazili, da v mojem življenju igra veliko vlogo tudi moj kuža, zato mi je bilo risanje te ilustracije še večji užitek. Človeka lahko začutiš tudi preko fotografij in besed, čeprav ga v živo nikoli ne srečaš. Vesela sem, da lahko rišem nekaj kar me osrečuje.

Illustration was custom made for a great person who have interesting story of his life. You may have noticed that in my life plays a big role in my dog, so I was drawing these illustrations even greater pleasure. You can feel a person through photos and words, although live never meet. I am glad to be able to draw something that makes me happy.

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.

Just Ben

My sweetheart!

Hiding games

Pride čas ko se moraš odločiti kaj ti je bolj pomembno in se odločiš za tisto stvar, ki ti daje največ kar v tistem trenutku potrebuješ. Trenutno je bilo pri meni vsega preveč in namesto, da bi se popolnoma posvetila tistemu, ki imama najraje, sem tekala in polnila luknje povsod. Včasih je lažje znati samo eno stvar, kot pa biti multi disciplinaren. Res pa je, da če bi znala samo eno stvar, bi me v trenutku zajela panika. Moja volja in razpoloženja potrebujejo mojo raznolikost zanimanja in dela. V resnici sem zadovoljna s tem kar imam, ker sem tako lahko večinoma neodvisna. Bom pa zato malo več posvetila časa pri odločanju in večkrat uporabila besedo NE. 

Že dalj časa se mi je preganjala po glavi in danes sem končno naredila skico. Se malo poigrala s čopičem. Tokrat sem fotoaparat uporabila samo, da vam pokažem kaj je nastalo. 

Lep vikend vam želim.

There comes a time when you have to decide what is more important to you. Yyou decide on that thing that gives you the most. At the moment, it was all too much for me and instead of being fully devoted to that which I prefer, I was running around and fill holes everywhere. Sometimes it's easier to know only one thing than to be multi-disciplinary. It is true that if I knew only one thing to do I will panic. I need diversity of interests in my work. In fact, I'm happy with what I have, because I can be independent. I'll devote a little more time for making good decisions and repeatedly used the word NO. 

For a long time it was rolling in my head and today I finally made ​​a sketch. Playing around with a brush. This time I only used the camera to show you what I made. 

Have a nice weekend.

Sweet dreams my little friend

Kaj imam rada pri Benu? To, da je majhen in ga lahko dvignem k sebi v naročje in ga po crkljam. Topel in mehek me greje med hladnimi zimskim nočmi. Predstavljam si, da bi odpotovala do lune, na kateri bi potem zadovoljno zaspala v objemu.

Vse nove ilustracije vas že čakajo v moji Etsy trgovini in vse imam na zalogi. Zato je še vedno čas, da jih naročite in obdarite svoje ljubljene. 

What I love with Ben? That is small and you can have him on your lap and cuddle. Warm and soft keeps me warm during the cold winter nights. I imagine that we travel to the moon, where would we happily fall asleep in the arms of the moon.

All new illustrations are waiting you in my Etsy shop and all I have in stock. So there is still time to order them and give to your loved ones.

Best Friends

Zadnje dni sem pregledovala stare Benove fotografije, ko sem naletela na eno, na kateri sva oba. Ben stoji s prednjimi tačkami na mojih kolenih in mi deli poljubčke. In to je bila moja inspiracija za tole ilustracijo, ki jo z vami danes delim.

Last days I was watching Ben's old photos when I came across one which we are both on. Ben is standing with front paws on my knees and giving me a kiss. And that was my inspiration for this illustration, which I share with you today.

Happy Holidays

Na vošilnici se je sedaj pojavil tudi naš mali kuža. Veliko ljudi me je spraševalo, če bi lahko naredila tudi voščilnico s Cotonom. Ilustracija je tukaj, še vedno pa iščem način kako priti do voščilnic.
Na etsyu lahko sedaj kupite novoletno ilustracijo in deklico s kužkom.

At the greeting card has now our little puppy. Many people have been asking me if I could make a card with Cotono de Tulear. Illustration is here, but I'm still looking the way to get the cards.
On Etsy you can buy Hollidays illustration with a Coton and a Girl with a dog.

Let's go for a walk

Končno sva pa tudi midva z Benom prišla na vrsto. Če bi si zaželeli podobne ilustracije s svojim ljubljenčkom vam jo z veseljem naredim. 

Ben and me finally on the paper. If you wish a similar illustrations with your pet I will gladly do it for you.

Treasures of nature

Na zaspan, lenobni dan sva se z Benom odpravila na daljši sprehod. Prišla sva do bližnjega gozda, kjer se običajno obrneva in odpraviva nazaj domov. Tokrat sva pot nadaljevala in se znašla v sredini gozda. Obstala sem. Okoli mene se je razvilo čudovito gozdno življenje. Petje ptic, šelestenje listja, pokanje vejic. Žal mi je bilo, da sem doma pustila fotoaparat in telefon. Ko sem se ozrla za Benom, sem ga zagledala med praprotjo, vejicami in travo. Bil je prizor kot iz filma. Ben je (lahko bi celo rekla z nasmehom na obrazu.. na gobčku) skakal kot zajček in raziskoval okolico. Pogumen in svoboden. Bil je srečen. Ko je naenkrat nekaj počilo globje v gozdu, se je zbudil kot iz sanj in začel iskati mene. Ko me je zagledal je prihitel kot raketa. Počasi sva se odpravila nazaj proti domu, nabrala nekaj zakladov narave in pravljica na asfaltni poti se je zaključila. Povodec je bil ponovno pripet in midva tik pred domom. Tukaj so najini mali zakladi in spomin na prijeten sprehod.

On a sleepy, lazy day, Ben and I, went on a longer walk. We were to a nearby forest, where we usually turn back and go home. This time, we continued to walk in the forest. Around me has developed a wonderful forest life. The singing of birds , the rustle of leaves, twigs cracking... I was sorry to left the camera and phone at home . When I looked for Ben , I saw him in the middle of fern and gras. It was like a scene from a movie. Ben was ( I might even say with a smile on his face ) as a bunny hopping and exploring the surrounding area. Brave and free . He was happy . When suddenly a burst deeper into the forest, Ben awoke as from a dream and began to look for me. When he saw me, he rushed like a rocket . Slowly we went back home , gathered some treasures of nature and fairy tale on street road was ended . Leash has been on and we were close to our home . Here are our little treasures and memories of a pleasant walk.

 

Sketch Book

Včeraj je bil neverjeten dan. Zbudila sem se in zagledala skozi okno močno sneženje. Ceste, travniki in hiše so bili že pokriti z novo snežno odejo. Mislila sem, da sanjam. Danes pa je popolnoma nov dan. Sonce je ogrelo ozračje, večino snega je stopilo in čutiti je pomladanski veter. Pomlad prihaja. Pri meni doma se že riše in z mislimi sem v naravi, ki se počasi prebuja. Veselim se prihajajočih sprehodov z Benom. V času ko vsi pridno delajo kot mravljice midva pobegneva v naravo. Uživava vsak po svoje. Ben se lovi po travniku z metulji, jaz pa obstanem in opazujem naravo in njegovo veselje, ki se prepletata. 

Danes sem odprla novo skicirko in vanjo se je že naselila pomlad.

Yesterday was an incredible day. I woke up and saw through the window a lot of snow. Roads, meadows and houses were already covered with new snow. I thought I was dreaming. Today is a brand new day. The sun has warmed the atmosphere, most of the snow has melted and I already feel the spring wind. Spring is coming. In my home already is and my thoughts is in the nature, which is slowly waking up. I look forward to the upcoming walks with Ben. At a time when all the hard working ants, me and Ben get out into nature. Enjoy it to each his own. Ben in the meadow is playing with butterflies and I just stop and observe nature and Ben's joy.

Today I opened a new sketchbook and into the spring is already settled.

Winter Joy with Ben

Nikoli si nisem mislila, da bom toliko časa preživela in posvetila psu. Ben me je popolnoma prevzel in dejstvo je, da največ časa preživim ravno z njim. Ne pritožuje se ko ga fotografiram, ne moti ga stiskanje in božanje, predvsem pa mi zvesto sledi povsod kamor grem. Seveda ima tudi on svoje muhe, ravno zdaj je napočil njegov čas pubertete. Kot otroci preizkuša svoje meje. V stanovanju je popoln, zunaj njega malo manj. Ljubi sprehode in se jih ne, glede na vreme, vedno razveseli, poskakuje in teče kot mala žogica.

Lepo je videti svoje otroke, ki s učijo ob njem in od njega. Povezanost z naravo in bivanje z njo v sožitju je nekaj najlepšega kar lahko otrokom daš.

I never thought that I would spend so much time and attention to the dog. Ben was completely taken over me and the fact is that I spend most of my time just with him. He do not complain when you photographing  him, he do not bother of caressing him and he faithfully followed me everywhere I go. Of course he has his flies, right now is his time of puberty. As children test his limits. Indoor is perfect, outdoor a little less. He loves long walks and  regardless of the weather, he's always happy to go, jumping and running like a little ball.

Is nice to see my children to learn with him and from him. Connection with nature and stay with it in harmony is the greatest thing we can give to children.
