girl with lots of hair

As I thought of writing this post I said to myself there must be another way to start it than saying I’ve been very busy. It doesn’t sound original or fun  but it’s true! I’ve been very busy working on various projects, some of which I’m not yet allowed to share and a personal art project that still makes sense only in my head and will have to wait awhile until it reveals itself to the world.

However, I did manage to steal a little time to work on simple creative ideas. I’ve been doodling on glossy 200gms photo paper, using colorful, sparkly rollers and expressing my caffeine addiction love for coffee.

I got some cheap coffee mugs at a local store and I’d love to draw something on them as soon as I buy paint for ceramics.  Now I’m just using  them as props.

 For some reason I can’t remember right now I thought it would be fun to make a watermelon necklace. I really love watermelons  and pink/red/green color combo so why not? But, to be honest my every attempt to  make jewelry only reaffirms my decision  to stick to illustration because I kinda suck at  crafting  and lack patience to work on tiny details. I made this by cutting a round cork coaster in half, painting a watermelon on it, then making two tiny holes and putting soft wire through them. I’m using it a as decoration/some sort of mobile right now and will look for actual  watermelon themed jewelry on etsy one day :)

I had more fun painting bears on cork coasters than making a watermelon “necklace”:

As January is coming to an ending I’m still keeping my motto for 2012. in mind and keeping myself motivated , creative and , yes ,very busy. I can’t wait until I can share results of more exciting projects with you!

  3. Some things just jump out of this post, the multi-coloured hair, the watermelon necklaces – these are great, did you know you can also get a gemstone that is the same, called watermelon tourmaline – green on the outside and red inside… and of course the caffiene addiction… naughty!!

  4. Baš su mi falile tvoje fotkeilustracije! Te su mi najdraže! A podmetači….aaaa, premedeno! Ne bi imala srca koristit ih u svrsi koju su imali prije bojanja! Ovo su k’o male slikice… išle bi na zid! :)
    Drago mi je da si zaposlena i da prštiš od ideja! Jedva čekam da ih, kad se oblikuju i realiziraju, podiliš s nama :***
