Stadion Stožice

Za danes sem imela take plane glede fotografiranja najnovejše dokončane slike na steklu, vendar mi je deževno in nevihtno vreme to preprečilo.

Pa se ne dam! Sivemu vremenu bom kljubovala z objavo nekaj slikovitih fotografij mojega očija, ki jih je posnel v sredo na otvoritvenem dogodku novega stadiona v Stožicah.

Vem, da je malo skop z besedami :), ampak njegovi posnetki so tako čudoviti, da kaj dosti besedičenja niti ne potrebujejo.


For today I had such plans with photographing the latest finished painting on glass, but this rainy and stormy weather prevented me doing it.

But I’m not giving up! Just to spite grey weather I’m showing you few colourful pictures from my father’s blog, which he made on Wednesday on the opening event of the brand new stadium Stožice in Ljubljana.

I know he is bit sparing with words :), but he makes such beautiful photos that no words are needed.

Tekma med Avstralijo in Slovenijo se je končala z 0:2,
kar je super začetek in lepa popotnica za naprej!

Več posnetkov z omenjene tekme
in še veliko drugih, krasnih fotografij
si lahko ogledate na blogu ŠUŠIfoto.


The football match between Australia and Slovenia
ended with a result 0:2! Good start!

More pictures from the match
and many other wonderful photos

Veliko besed Lots of words

Končno Etsy! Finally Etsy!

Takó! Pred nekaj meseci sem odkrila Etsy,
nedolgo nazaj sem tam odprla svojo trgovinico
in v nedeljo sem jo končno napolnila s prvimi izdelki.

Zaenkrat so naprodaj le tri
originalne slike na steklu AVGUSTvarjanja,
kmalu pa bom dodala še nove, sproti nastajajoče,
in tudi odtise le-teh,
najverjetneje na voščilnicah in vrečkah.

Trgovinico si lahko ogledate s klikom na spodnjo sliko;


Takó! Few months ago I discovered Etsy,
recently I opened my little shop there
and on Sunday I filled it with first items.

For now there are only three of my
AVGUSTvarjanja original paintings on glass for sale,
but soon I'll add some new ones,
as well as prints of my paintings and designs,
probably on cards and tote bags.

Kavica ob jezeru Coffee by the lake

V soboto pozno popoldne v Preddvoru;

On Saturday late afternoon in Preddvor,
about 20 minutes drive out of Ljubljana:

Še brez besed No words so far

Nova AVGUSTvarjanja slika na steklu v nastajanju;

New AVGUSTvarjanja painting on glass in progress:

Podoba raja Image of paradise

V soboto, po ogledu Gasparijeve razstave,
sva zavila še k jezeru.

Prešeren je zapisal:
»Dežela kranjska nima lepšga kraja,
ko je z okolšno ta, podoba raja.«

In res je tako.


I took these photos of Lake Bled on Saturday,
right after we visited the Gaspari exhibition.

Bled is one of our tourist jewels,
with the mighty castle on a big rock above the lake
and a cute little island with a church in the middle of it.

Our greatest poet France Prešeren
wrote about Bled and its surroundings,
that our countryside has no greater beauty
than this “image of paradise”.

And he was right.

Objavljam včeraj dokončana AVGUSTvarjanja
(začetke si lahko ogledate nekaj objav nazaj),
z verzi po izboru naročnika;


Yesterday I finished this AVGUSTvarjanja
(its beginnings you can see few posts back),
with verses by customer’s choice:

v nastajanju / while painting it:

slika brez okvirja je velika 17x19 cm;

painting's dimensions (without the frame) are: 17x19 cm:

Here are the original English verses:

One ship drives east and another drives west
With the selfsame winds that blow.
'Tis the set of the sails,
And Not the gales,
That tell us the way to go.

Maksim Gaspari

V soboto sva si z Mirom ogledala
razstavo Maksima Gasparija na Bledu.

Sprehod med njegovimi slikami, ilustracijami
in razglednicami je bil čisti užitek.
Toliko vzorčkov, barv, tehnik in sporočilnosti,
toliko kombiniranja ljudske ornamentike
z dejstvi, verzi in ljudmi,
z zgodbami in liki iz knjig,
toliko poigravanja s političnimi karikaturami
za izražanje svojih stališč v ilustracijah.

Ker tudi sama nadvse rada brskam
po tej bogati ljudski zakladnici,
me njegovo ustvarjanje znova in znova navduši.

Če je Slovenija platno in so njene pokrajine barve,
vidim njegovo umetnost kot ornamente na njej.


On Saturday Miro and I went to Bled to see
an exhibition of Maksim Gaspari,
one of our great painters,
who lived between 1883 and 1980.

The artist painted mostly scenes from
Slovenian everyday life and nature.
He is known about his illustrated postcards
with historical and temporary motifs,
many times combined with his political views about the issues.
He also illustrated numberless books and magazines.

I’m again over and over impressed
with his rich palette of national folk ornaments
and their combinations with facts, stories
and characters from our books,
people from our history and verses,
since I also like to dig in this never-ending treasure.

A walk through his artworks was pure delight.
So many patterns, colours, techniques and messages!

If Slovenia is a painter’s canvas and our landscapes are colours,
I see his art as ornaments on it.

njegova slika na steklu / his painting on glass:

Obisk razstave zares toplo priporočam vsem!

I recommend a visit very much if you have a chance.

Sardoni v pivskem testu Anchovies in beer dough

Včeraj sva si pripravila tákole slastno
pozno kosilo / zgodnjo večerjo:

Miro je ocvrl doma pripravljene filete svežih sardonov v pivskem testu
(pivo, polnozrnata moka, rumenjaki, stepeni beljaki,
sol, poper in majaron).


Yesterday we prepared ourselves this delicious
late lunch / early dinner:

Miro fried home-prepared fillets of fresh anchovies in beer-dough
(beer, whole-wheat flour, egg yolks, whipped egg whites,
salt, pepper and marjoram).

Za zraven sem naredila le še koruzo,
zmešano s par žličkami kisle smetane,
domačim drobnjakom in kajenskim poprom.

Prav nič drugega ni bilo potrebno,
no, le še kakšen kozarček piva. :)


I made corn, mixed with
couple of spoons of sour cream,
home chives and cayenne pepper.

Nothing else was needed to be perfect,
well, except a glass of beer maybe to go along with. :)

Prva oddajka! First giveaway!

Pa smo dočakali avgust.
In moje slike se zelo navezane na ta lep mesec,
ko se poletje preveša že v svojo zrelo polovico,
zlato in oranžno.
Nosijo namreč njegovo ime.

So, here is August.
And my paintings are very much attached to this beautiful month,
when summer turns into its mature half
and starts to get its golden orange colour.
As you know they carry its name.

Temu v čast organiziram svojo prvo »oddajko«,
kot sem jo poslovenila sama. :)

Torej, oddajam odtisa
(~A4 plakatek in ~A5 voščilnico; foto tisk na 200g svetleč papir)
z ene svojih novejših slik
(dražgoški kruhek) – samo osrednji del slike;


To honour this I’m organizing my first giveaway.

I’m giving away prints
(~A4 poster and ~A5 greeting card; photo print on 200g glossy paper)
of one of my recent paintings
(dražgoški kruhek) – just the central part of it:

Igra poteka ves avgust. Prvega septembra bom med vsemi, ki boste pustili komentar pod to objavo, nekoga izžrebala.

Kako bo potekalo žrebanje, se moram še domisliti, konec koncev sem začetnica v teh stvareh, časa imam ves mesec, obljubljam pa, da bo pošteno! :)

Če želite, lahko v svojem komentarju poveste tudi, če imate svoj najljubši mesec in ali ima svojo barvo. Prosim, poskrbite tudi za to, da bom lahko prišla v stik z vami, v primeru vaše zmage.

Takóle! Tri, dva, ena...


The game is on during whole August. On September the 1st I will choose a random winner from one of you, who will leave a comment under this post.

How am I going to realize the draw I don’t know yet, after all I’m a beginner at this, I have a time whole month to think about it, but I can promise you, that it will be fair! :)

If you like you can tell me in your comment, if you have a favourite month and does it have its own colour. Please ensure that I will be able to contact you in case of your win.

Takóle! Three, two, one…

…začnimo! :)

…let’s get started! :)
