I Wish I Was

The last part of my dear personal project was hiding in my drawer, so to speak, and waiting to see the light of day for quite some time. I can be terribly  protective and shy about some of the things that I do.

Anyway, I like to combine the handmade feel of traditional techniques like painting, drawing and collage with the flexibility of Photoshop. The text is quite flat but in combination with the image the whole thing becomes alive and hopefully not to sentimental. Writing in English has its advantages, besides the obvious one that you can reach more people.  My  limited vocabulary prevents me from trying to hard, to sound pretentious which I probably would and on the other hand it allows me to express thoughts and emotions that I would not in my native language. When speaking or writing in another language you almost become a different person which is liberating an adds a new enriching dimension to your life. To possess another language is to possess another soul, said someone famous.  Here and here are the other two parts of this  little project made in different media.

Away with the Fairies

I have been planning on doing a few outfit posts presented in an imaginative, visually stunning, ehm, something along those lines, way. If you have been losing sleep over... what should I wear for an elegant outdoor activity such as birdwatching, this is my sophisticated suggestion.



We haven't spotted many birds but if you look carefully you may notice that the camera was able to register little winged creatures. Now, I am not the sort of person to believe in fairy nonsense however we are in the presence of strong scientific evidence.


Why have they appeared? What are they trying to tell us? Have they been attracted to the little woman wearing an unassuming yet perfect attire for the occasion when what they usually see are huge human beings in Lycra and fleece? We will never know.

The Snake Lady Strikes Again

I was delighted to have the opportunity to perform my Snake lady act again at the Red Dawns Benefit Party on the 29th of December. The event was organised in order to raise money for the Red Dawns Feminist and Queer Festival which takes place in Ljubljana every year in the begining of March. So in two months time I will be performing my show Stitches at the festival and that is something I am definitely looking forward to.

The party last week went really well,- here is the " tragic death scene" for you to contemplate, twice, it involves some serious cavorting on the chair and finding a sturdy one proved to be not an easy task... To see more pics from the event click here.

In today's post I wanted to show how I manipulated the original black&white photograph in Photoshop adding colour, a great tattoo, a lace glove, vintage effect and nice lighting again with a lot of help from Zoran What do you think of the result?
If getting or removing a tattoo was as easy in real life I would have loads of them already and lace gloves in every colour and...
