My 2012 biggest successes

For the last day of this year, which was so far the best, I thought about an article dedictated to my successes in 2012 so, after year or more, it will remind me of them. And I´ll be proud and see how I improve or degrade. 

   And why was this year the best so far? First things first, I spent all the year with my beloved ones. My family, greatest friends, with paint brushes and color pencils, with Alphonse Mucha on my wall  and one big dinosaur in a corner of my room. I´ve survived dentist, apocalypse, 2 halfs of school years, amounts of periods, intrigues of my classmates, family, politicians and public pressure to meet standards of this society. For more reasons keep reading.

1. FALL IN LOVE WITH THEATRE
In this year I finally found out how beautiful theatre plays are. At the beggining of the year I came to watch one of the best Slovak plays and the best I´ve seen - Stalin v Žiline (Stalin in Žilina). It was monodrama about life story of one of the finest writers from Žilina - Ľubomír Feldek (*1936). In main role there was Marián Gaišberg and his fascinating voice. This drama totaly changed the way I look at the theatre. About month ago I saw 7 dní do pohrebu (7 days till the funeral) with great actress Jana Ohľová. This showed me that theatre also can be very modern and new.

2. MATRICULATION
Just great time with great people. Hours of practicing dance. Choosing the best costumes. Raising money. Advertising. Few hassels. And great night! Galaprogram in a style of Millionaire and DISCO! And then tidying. Nah. There were so many troubles during preparing everything but we did it! We did it together and I think we are even closer to each other now. Thank you guys :)


3. EXHIBITION - PRERUŠENÁ PIESEŇ
This year summer holiday I visited my sister in Bratislava, the capital city. How lucky I was, when I noticed advertisement on my train ticket. I just had to see it. So I went to the Slovak National Gallery and I saw something incredible. Colossal exhibition of the art of socialistic realism 1948 - 1956 - Prerušená pieseň (Interrupted song). There was the best of the work of such a talented artists like Martin Benka, Ľudovít Fulla and many others not only from the time of realism but art moderna as well. Thank you, dear sister, I will never forget it.

4. ART SUCCESSES
Well, who would say that I´ll win honorable mention on Biennial in Martin with this strange picture on the left? Actually, it´s just a picture of my crossed fingers :P But I´m not complaining, I´m happy and honoured. Thank you, thank you...I didn´t deserve it. Oh, thank you... And there are some other things I made this year and I´m proud of them.
Aaaand, I can´t forget to show you off my BIG in every word meaning project - I painted McQueen on the wall for my cousin´s son Samuel. And I can assure you, it wasn´t easy at all paint such a large picture and moreover with acrilic paint.

9. SMILED, LOVED, DREAMT, CRIED

 
And it´s the last year yet, so why not to call it THE BEST? :) There´ll be no more years like this, I won´t celebrate my 15 in school playing games and "Chladnozem" again and I´ll definitely never order a "Slovac hot chocolate in CaféKupé nor Canadian one in tea house Víla. I will never climb a tree and sing Edith Piaf with invisible guitar on Žužlla´s birthday party again. It seems that professor Tanitó (modeled by "chlap") won´t be our class teacher anymore ( :( ), as well as my previous french teacher won´t teach me french anymore ( :D ). Two of my classmates left to another schools, but I don´t mourn because I believe they´re on a better place now ...well, that sounds like they died...
   I think it´s enough reasons already. I have nothing else so write. Thank you for reading,

have a great New Years Eve and I whish you everything the best to the year 2013!
Good luck to everyone!

New look :)

   Hi guys. I´m staying up so long tonight just to make the new look ,you´re looking at now, the best. Maybe it can´t be seen but I spent hours doing it as best as I could. I´m tired and hungry but happy and... wait, what is this strange feeling? Is it...it can´t be...PRIDE? Oh yes, I´m proud of myself because I think it really looks good! :) Now this is a blog that´s worthy of my articles!

   I think it looks very calm, more positive that the one I used to have, the smart and elegant but I would say quite conservative, this one is also elegant but much modern in this way and much warmer. I love those birds flying off the screen, I see it as a symbol of better perspective in the future. And this is what I need so desperately...I fear the future because there is nothing good waiting us there.

   I´ve also made some other big changes. As you may noticed, I´ve removed sections of people and movies that inspire me from the left panel. It looked absolutely horrible... And I added a new section right below the name of the blog. Here, you´ll be able to find even more about films I saw, about people who inspire me and who I found interesting and of course there is page for all my DIYs so you don´t have to search for them through all the articles. I meant the tags for that at the beginning but never mind... I wonder about soundtracks section or at least one for Kingdom of Heaven complete soundtrack updates from my YouTube channel. We´ll see. Now I need to finish things I mentioned above and then

DIY: Dots don´t have to end the unfinished sentence only...

Well, 5.3. 2012 was date of another birthday party of my friend. Specifically, the birthday of my classmate Emma. There were everything what´s needed to have a hilarious party - little bit of eat, something to drink but extremly important is to be together on some place where we can lay our feet down :)
And what it would look like, if I came here with empty hands? So the present I gave her is this:

If you want to know how to do this, or if you want to do something what´s similar than continue reading, I tried to describe the process as best as I could.

You will need:

• fashion fabric (try not to use stretch fabric)
• nice big button (as an eye)
• needle
• sewing machine (if you have this possibility)
• thread in whatever color you want (it won´t be seen), another in color of fashion fabric and finally in color of the button
• pins
• scissors
• padding (I used cotton wool, which can be bought in every store)
• nice music to listen, enough time and patience

To be honest, this is very easy project, the only tedious thing is stuffing :) But I don´t want to discourage you, so let´s start!

For the first, make a model of what you will sew. I had the idea of hedgehog (oh my dog, who invented this word? :) in my head for week, so I couldn´t say no to myself and I decided to make it. Well, I made a very simply model from paper, laid on the back site of two layers of the fashion fabric (right sides together), pinned it to keep it in place and drew a line round the edges.

Then I cut it out. Of course, I cut about 1cm from the drawn edge. After this process, I took the paper model away and pinned this two layers together again. Right sides together!

Yet, before I started to sew, I marked where I won´t sew. You need this keep unstitched because this is the place where you going to flip everything inside out through. I also used back stitch at the edges to secure it.

To stitch everything together you can use whatever thread you want, like I said, it won´t be seen.

After sewing, I turned everything inside out and I put black thread on the needle. Our hedgehog deserves to have an eye, although only one, but it does! :) So I sewed it on.

After all this processes, I started with stuffing. One advice from me: fill the horns for the first. They should be round like cone. Until you´ll be absolutely sure they are full of padding, then continue with filling the body.

After this steps (the longest) I needed to close the hole, which stayed unstitched (which I stuffed trough). I tried to do a little help for you. You just take the edges of the fabrick, fold them inside and stitch everything together.

                                     1. prepare your fabric                         3. stitch it

                                                                2. pin it to keep it in place

                                                                                  ↓

After this proces, I got this. :) As you can see, it needs something... ehm.. something... it´s too dry, it needs some juice :)

____________________________________________________

So I added this yelow ribbon ... et voilá :)

Well I know that it doesn´t look professionaly but it´s my work, and you know, when you try seriously, when you work hard, when you spend a time and when you gave it "little bit of you", then it is real valuable think :) I know, I still need to learn much, but with every needle play I try, I´m getting better (hope so) and with every bleeding I have from prick my finger, I´m getting stronger, more resistant, because when you learn how to fall, you´ll win against your destiny.

Make-up design: Color-Cycling

This is my make-up desing for November :D Colorful and bright like silky rainbow, whitch we are not going to see for long time.

Circle- without beginning, without end. The symbol of eternity and infinity.

 Nothing takes forever, not even our lives. But we can won the death by our acts. Every person lets something here. At least the memories in head of his old friend. Every person wants to let here memory of himself. To show, that he weren´t unnecessary for this world.

Yes, just like I do.....by my work. Perhaps, that is the real reason, why I´m still tring to be better and better. Not to enjoy, what I can do with my hands now, but to show, that I´m worth to be call "special" for what am doing, because, i will always bring something new. Something, what is better, than what I´ve done before. Maybe, that is the reason, why I´m trying to do absolutely anything to make my dream come true. To chenge the world a little. You can see, there is much to change...

Well, back to my project :D Like I said, it is very cheerful, thanks to the colors, I´ve used :D It doesn´t look like that, but it took me 3 hours to make it :D And two days, to find the idea in my head :) Hehe, I´m too big stickler :PP

I haven´t tryied it on my face, but it can be very VERY interesting :D And funny! :)

Playing with the details :D

I must say, I don´t consider black as a happy color, but I so so love this picture and I´m so proud of it! :)



Henna design: Fleur Arabe

One of many projects made just for my drawer :D But, I made my decision - it´s worth to be here :D

I love designing henna, it doesn´t bother me, that not every drawing I´ll use for my hand (i´m southpaw, so I can draw only on my right hand :) ). I design henna during lessons, in the time of breaks or when should I study for school.

So this is one of many my designs. I made it by pencil, and this is, how it looks, when is person like me bored, one rainy night, in Switzerland. Inspirative country it is :D

And this is result, when I´m playing :D

An this is, how it looks on my hand :D Yes, quite different, than design, but i like this variation more :D

Another playing :D
