ILLUSTRATION

photo by AMARADI, .. very old add for "Fa " soap, I think that magazine was from 50´s,or 60´s..?? What do you think? The colours are bright and illustration looks very vivid. Maybe I´ll frame it for my bathroom ?

Kad imam dovoljno vremena, a to je u zadnje vrijeme rijetko, volim se prihvatiti crtanja. Crtam oduvijek. Svašta! Stripove, modne crteže, ilustracije, crteže na upotrebnim predmetima.. sve može! Tehnike? Sve što ostavlja trag.. može! S vremenom sam skupila mnogo inspirativnih crteža i iliustracija koje bih voljela podijeliti s vama. Neki su doista vrlo stari i djela su pravih majstora. Ovo su danas fotke nekih od njih. Pošto ih je većina u obliku reklama iz raznih vintage časopisa na žalost ne znam navesti autore..

When I have enough time, which is rare this days, I like to draw. I draw everything! Comics, fashion sketches, illustrations, drawings on different home accessories.. everything can do! Techniques? Everything can do! I have collected many inspirative drawings and ilustrations which I want to share with you. Some of them are very old and they are real masterpieces. Here are photos some of them. This illustrations were taken from different vintage magazines and I am sad that I don´t know names of their authors..

GORGEOUS BLACK AND WHITE INTERIORS

...I would dare to say this apartment has beautiful masculine look..

Nekad kombinacija crno bijelo može biti previše isključiva i dosadna, ali na ovim fotografijama ona to nikako nije. Uživajte u pogledu na doista božanstvene prostore. Ova smjela kobinacija može raskošno izgledati i u manjim prostorijama, ako imaju dovoljno velike izvore dnevnog svjetla. I ne zaboravite investirati u veće, kvalitetne detalje kao što su lampe, svijećnjaci, tepisi, ogledala... Oni će i najmanjem stanu dati onaj raskošni, luksuzni naglasak.

Black and white combination could look too boring, but certainly not in this photos. Enjoy in this gorgeous interiors. This brave combination could look luxurious also in smaller rooms, if there are large windows or other sources of day light.. And don´t forget to invest in high quality details like lamps, chandeliers, carpets, mirrors.. They will give luxurious accent to even the smallest apartment.

AMARADI CHRISTMAS WINDOW DISPLAY

This year I put white painted branches in large glass vases...

..and decorated them with AMARADI handmade wood "cookies" and red ribbons..

Christmas tree made of little bows..We like it a lot! It has soft and warm look.

Doista mi je jako žao što mi ovih dana tako malo vremena ostaje za bloganje, ali proizvodnja zato radi punom parom..Brojni proizvodi čekaju završnu fazu pa da budu izloženi na našim policama. Ne čini li vam se da Božić svake godine dođe sve brže?? Nisam kampanjac i ne volim žurbu ni rokove, ali uvijek mislim da nećemo stići izbaciti sve što bismo željeli. Uh...

Evo nekoliko fotkica iz dućana danas. Obično radimo nekoliko različitih postava Božićnog izloga, a ovo je prvi od njih. Pozdrav svima, a osobito novim curkama na mom blogu! Pratim vaše blogove kad god mogu.U siječnju obećajem viiiiišeeee blogerske aktivnosti!

I am really sorry for not having enough time for blogging these days because production is taking my whole day.. Many products are waiting to be finished and put on shelves in our shop. Do you have a feeling that Christmas comes earlier every year?? I don´t like rush and working in time- limits, and I always think we´ll not manage to finish everything we want. Uh..

Here are few photos of AMARADI shop today. We usually make few different Christmas displays, and here is the first of them this year. I would like to say hi to all of you , especially to new girls who started to follow my blog! I read your blogs when ever I can. I promisse much more posts in January!!!

PLAVA BROKATNA TORBICA

images by AMARADI, sorry for not so good photos..

Mmmm... prava mala poslastica! Vrlo sam zadovoljna što sam završila ovu malu plavu brokatnu torbu koja mi je,moram priznati bila jedan dugotrajni projekt.. Završavala sam ju u nekoliko faza želeći da na kraju bude savršena! Prekrasan plavo crni brokat, još je više došao do izražaja zbog jednostavne forme torbe. Ručno rađeni broš na prednjoj strani torbe naglašava ženstveni, pomalo vintage izgled. Savršena za večernji izlazak u grad.

Voljela bih saznati kako vam se sviđa... ???

Mmmm... really delicious! I am very satisfied with this little blue brocade bag which I have finally finished, I have to admit making it was one long project.. I was finishing it in several times because I wanted it to be perfect! Gorgeous blue and black brocade is even more enhanced with simple model of this bag. Handcrafted brooch emphasizes its feminine, vintage look. Perfect as an evening bag.

I would like to know how do you like it...???

VIOLET NECKLACE

images by AMARADI

Pozdrav svima nakon kraće odsutnosti.. Na žalost, uz sve poslovne obveze dan mi mnogo puta bude prekratak za bloganje..

Danas vam želim pokazati još jednu od AMARADI ogrlica koja uz bijelu košulju, dobre taperice i čizme može biti dovoljna za dnevni ili večernji izlazak. Ova bi se ogrlica mogla dobro uklopiti i uz neku lepršavu haljinicu od muslina, ali s obzirom na sve niže temperature ne bih baš to predlagala. Uživajte!!!

Hello everyone, I am here again..Unfortunately my day is often to short ...and my business commitments rare left me free time for blogging..

Today I want to show you AMARADI necklace which could look great with white shirt, jeans and boots for some day or evening going out. You can wear it with transparent, soft muslin dress, but I wouldn´t recommend it because of low temperatures we have this days here..Enjoy!!!

MAGAZINES...

Pozdrav svima za veseli početak novog tjedna!!! Nadam se da ste se odmorili preko vikenda, ..a vi koji preko tjedna radite punom parom na nekim drugim poslovima nadam se da ste uspjeli odvojiti dio vikenda za neko kreativno stvaranje. ( Škicnut ću na blogovima malo kasnije!)Dok još nisam imala vlastiti posao bilo mi je teško dočekati vikend da konačno ukradem vrijeme za šivanje, crtanje, izradu nakita ili slično.. i nikad mi vikend nije bio dovoljno dug. Sada je to drugačije! Nedjelju nastojim ostaviti za dragog, obitelj, sebe i punjenje baterija.

Htjela sam vas pitati..Već neko vrijeme radim čistku u svojoj preobilnoj kolekciji svih mogućih časopisa. Srce mi se slama kad ih moram baciti, ali opet odahnem jer mi fizički zauzimaju previše prostora.

Kako vi rješavate takve stvari? Lako se rješavam odjeće ili sličnog, ali za časopise i bezbroj inspiracija u njima sam pravi "hrčak".

Volite li vikendom izrađivati nešto kreativno?

Hello everyone on the beginning of new week!!! Hope you had some nice rest during weekend, .. and you who are on your full time job during week, hope you succeeded to enjoy in some creative moments of your weekend.( I´ll check on your blogs later.) Before I had my own creative business it was very hard for me to wait weekend to come to finally take some time for sewing, drawing, jewelry making or something similar.. and those weekends were never long enough. Now that´s different. Sundays I usually reserve for my guy, family and myself.

I want to ask you something.. For few days now I am trying to make place in my big collection of different magazines. My heart breaks when I have to get rid some of them, but again I am released because I get new spear place.

How do you solve this "magazines takes a lot of space" problem? I don´t have any problem with getting rid of clothes, or things that I don´t use anymore..

Do you like spending your weekends in some creative job?

WHITE KITCHENS

kitchen decorations and products...images by AMARADI

Pozdrav svima! Danas jedan vrlo kratki post.. Mnogi proizvodi su nam u završnoj fazi pa žurim da što prije stignu na police. Ima nešto ludo privlačno u bijelim kuhinjama. Snježno ili kremasto bijeli ormarići u rustikalnom stilu, kameni ili drveni podovi, bijeli carrera mramor u pokrvnim plohama, sudoperi i slavine kao donešeni iz starih seljačkih kuća, veliki francuski prozori, bakrene ili porculanske ručkice.. i cijela obitelj na okupu.

Svi AMARADI dekorativni proizvodi za kuhinje su izrađeni uglavnom od drveta. Tacne, slike, vješalice, podmetači, stolnjaci ili možda samo jedan magnet za hladnjak mogu unijeti brzu promjenu u prostor!

Kakve vam se kuhinje sviđaju? Jeste li fan čistog minimalizma ili pak tople rustike?

Hi eveyone! Today I am here with one short post.. Many our products are almos finished so I am in hurry to put them on shelves. There is something very attractive in white kitchens. Snow- white or creamy white kitchen cabinets made in rustic stile, stone or wood floors, white carrera marble countertops, farmhouse sinks and taps, french doors, copper or porcelain handles.. and whole family gathered.

All AMARADI products for decorating kitchen are made mostly of wood. Trays. pictures, hangers, coasters, table clothes or maybe only one magnet for refrigerator can bring quick change in space.

What kitchen decorating stile you like? Are you fan of pure minimalisum or warm rustic?
