Day 167: Another horsey doll

This is a good way of exploring collage and using funky paper together with textiles. I really like making these but should probably expand from making horses and elephants.

Day 163: More horses

So happy with my Winnetou horse I made another one. Brought up in communist country, we never had 'My little pony' so I am making up for it with a collection of my own. Who knew string was so much fun:)

Day 161: Winnetou's horse: Iltschi

The other day I was lookinf through my fellow 365er Rebecca Jones artworks and she makes lots of different horses. I love horses and I do draw them often but I haven't actually made any for my blog se I intent to rectify that so here he is: Winnetou's horse -  Iltschi. 
Winnetou is a fictional character from books written by Karl May and it's kind of germanic phantasy about Wild West. As a child I was deeply influenced by these books as well as by Jack London's books and one of my alter ego's was Winnetou, a bit strange for a small, croatian girl but hey, my friends were not much to write home about...

Day 118: When in hurry - draw a horse

Day two of yoga workshop and this is all I managed before collapsing in bed.

Day 117: Horse and foal

This is the front for my new yoga journal and I managed to scribble it down before the first day of three day yoga workshop started. Could have done better with colours though...

Day 66: Just a crappy drawing:(

But a friend dedicated a post to me and that made my day so much better! Thanks Rebecca :) http://rebecca-365daysoflove.blogspot.com/

But to be fair to myself I don't draw often enough to make visible improvement, I am a bit stuck in my style as well so I trotted off and bought an artist magazine with some drawing tricks in it so I will make another attempt tomorrow. This one is titled: 'Tired mother and two ugly aunties' :)

Day 43: Boy and Horse

Day 33: My own mug

Few months back I had yet another of my brilliant ideas and decided that a shop on Etsy was the right way forward. the problem of course is that I never have anything coherent to sell as I make whatever takes my fancy and have zero patience sticking to one thing. The only coherent thing I do are my icons but they take too long and are very expensive so not really the right market for those.

Anyway, I came up wit this world-domination-idea of painting china mugs and in my eagerness I trotted off and bought about 50 mugs :) ...when I explained my marvellous idea to my good friend Carolin, she only raised an eyebrow...that says it all really.

But I continued with my super plan and got a marker that I thought was black, turned out it was white, then I got a black one, then I got sidetracked with other stuff....

So here it is..tadaaa... a cup with my own design, only 49 to go...But I do like it...so maybe it's not a completely daft idea...

Day 28: Happy Little Horse

I'm posting lots of drawings at the moment because my work is taking me that way. I am actually working on an important painting, important to me that is, so I don't really have time to drag the sewing machine out as it tends to take up the whole day but it will be back. 

Anyhow, here is a portrait of an icelandic horse who turned out like a quite happy little chap, with a smile and all...
