A few impressions from ARTish

Once again at ARTish you could see a lot of lovely stuff from Slovenian artists. Take a tour with me and see what we had to offer:

Earrings, 

bags

handmade notebooks

brooches and necklaces

ceramics and other things

Amazing things, don't you think? I had to buy something for myself as well. This lovely turquoise brooch. Beautiful, isn't it?

My stall was right in front of dog friendly hotel :)

I was totally exhausted when I got home at 9PM, but nevertheless it was absolutly fantastic day!

Until next time, have a great week! 

See you at ARTish

You can find me and my bags this Saturday all day long in Ljubljana's Gornji trg. Besides me there will be about 50 Slovenian artists, seeling their work. More about ARTish HERE and HERE are photos from event in June so you can drool over some pretty amazing work :)) 

For those of you that are not in this part of the world and can't make to the art fair, you can visit my Etsy shop. I have 10% off on everything. It's now or never :))

Have a great week!

Productive week

I haven't been blogging much lately, have I? So, what's happening? Am I

1) dead? No, not yet :)
2) on vacation? Oh, I wish....
3) lazy? Yes, from time to time, especially when it's to hot to think, let along sew.
4) very busy. Yes, that me :)

Since I came back from Spain an brought some really nice fabric, I had to cut into it. I made not one, but three handbags. The one on the top with red embroidery is my favourite one.

A bunch of coin purses and cosmetic pouches in red, baby blue, olive green and purple.

Frame purses.

This and much more will be available for sale on next ARTish on July the 28th.
You can find more photos on my FB page: http://www.facebook.com/blackbird.bags/photos 


I have to run now, so much to do. Until next time, have a great time!

Impressions from Valencia

As you might know I made a short trip to Valencia. So much has happened since then, it feels like long time ago. Here are just a few photos from that trip.

I was there during F1 competition, but I didn't feel anything going on, although I could hear the roar of the engines while I was in the park. When there were football matches, well that was totally different story. The streets were absolutely empty, but one could hear cheering from every bar in the city center or apartment building.

You might be asking who's that guy. He was offering free walking tour, so I joined. Everything would be perfect for one small detail. He was Scottish. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Scottish, but his accent!! Half of the time I had no idea what was he talking about.

I didn't come empty handed, oh, no. I bought a pile of fabric from KA International. I would buy more, but there's only one store in Valencia. I was trembling my backpack would be too heavy.

Psst, there's another thing. Tomorrow is my birthday, so I'm offering 10% off on everything in my Etsy shop ;))


Until next time, have a great time!

Impressions from ARTish

It was a hot wekend and especially Saturday when ARTish - local Art Fair was held. Temperatures were up to 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Farenheit)! But other than that it was great! Wonderful people, amazing atmosphere.

I am thankfull to my friend Tanja and my mum for jumping in and looking after my stall for a bit so I could walk around other stalls, chat to other artists and take photos.

Here are some photos from other gifted Slovenian artists. Amazingly beautiful stuff!
