Majhne stvari / Little things



Se tudi vam zdi, da se je leto prehitro začelo? Januar je skoraj pri koncu jaz pa še niti začela nisem uresničevat svojih novoletnih obljub. Res imam visoka pričakovanja od tele 13-ke, mogoče sem zato tako pikolovska. Pa prva polovica meseca je bila obupna, moj prehlad se je vlekel še od praznikov naprej.
Me je pa zato pred parimi dnevi razveselila pošta. Prišlo je moje rojstnodnevno darilo, print granatnega jabolka od Anek. Dolgo sem si ga želela in zdaj je tu. Rada imam granatna jabolka, ker me spominjajo na otroštvo, vedno jih je bilo v izobilju. Kasneje so prihajali v paketih, ki jih je pošiljal moj oče, skupaj s suhimi figami in čokolado.
Na moji nočni omarici-mizici me je lepo presenetila in razveselila Hiacinta. Končno se je odprla, sem mislila, da mi ne bo uspela. Morala bi biti bela, pa si je nekje vmes očitno premislila in zdaj imam modro. Nad njo visi lovilec sanj, ki sem si ga kupila na Božičnem Art marketu pri Little Amber. A poznate to punco? Njeni izdelki so nekaj nadvse finega in delikatnega, meni se zdi zelo nadarjena.
In še pogled skozi okno moje spalnice, ki je najlepši. Na oknu je moja "special occasion" torbica, ki jo redko nosim, je pa krasna dekoracija. Poleg je pa Anina ogrlica o kateri sem pisala že tukaj.
To so te male stvari, ki me razveseljujejo. Kaj pa vas spravlja v dobro voljo, me prav firbec matra?

Do you also think that the year started too fast? January is almost over now and I have not even started implementing my New Year's promises. I do have high expectations from this year ( it is 13, right!), so I'm probably a bit unpetient when things do not go as I planed them. The first half of the month was awful, my cold has dragged on since holidays.
But  a few days ago I recived a happy mail that made my day. There was my birthday present, pomegranate print from Anek. I wanted that print for long time and now it is here, waiting to be framed. I love Pomegranates, because they remind me of my childhood. Later on they came in the packages sent by my father, always along with dried figs and chocolate. 
I was pretty surprised and delighted by Hiacinta, wich started to bloom right there on my bedside table. Finally! It supposed to be white dough, but it is blue and I do not mind it now. Above it I hanged the dream catcher that I bought from Little Amber at the Christmas Art Market. Do you know this girl? Her items are so fine and delicate and i find her very talented. 
And finally a look through my bedroom window. I love that look. I hang my "special occasion" purse on that window. I rarely wear it, but it is a great looking thing and lovely decoration. It matches well with my gray  necklace from Ana, don't you think? 
These are the little things that make me happy right now. I'm curious to find out what puts you in a good mood theese days?

Oloop

Oloop-ke so punce ki so me že dolgo časa nazaj navdušile, vse odkar sem prvič videla tiste njihove fine filcane žajfice v trgovini Ika. Potem sem jih začela spremljati in ugotovila, da njihova preprosta a učinkovita estetika diši po skandinavskem dizajnu. Naslednja stvar, ki me je dobesedno vrgla iz stola pa je njihov projekt Razkrite roke. Tale zapis sem nameravala napisati enkrat jeseni, ko sem si v Etnografskem muzeju ogledala raztavo izdelkov iz omenjenega projekta. Počasna sem, vem ampak nikoli ni prepozno, ane?

Oloop deluje na različnih področjih vizualnega ustvarjanja. Zanimajo jih posegi v prostor in povezovanje oblikovanja z družbeno angažiranimi projekti.
Pred kratkim so v ljubljanski galeriji Kresija pripravile zanimiv projekt, tekstilno istalacijo v nastajanju, ki so jo poimenovale Povezave.Sldenje sem žal zamudila, čeprav bi  se z veseljem preiskusila v ročnem kvačkanju in prepustila da mi misli odplavajo daleč stran. želim si da bi bilo takšnih kreativnih združenj in zanimivih projektov še več. Če vas je tale zapis pritegnil in bi si želeli izvedeti še več, pokukajte na njihovo spletno stran in FB stran.

It is quite a while ago,ever since I first saw  their fine felted soaps at trade shop Ika, since I have noticed the girls from Oloop. Then I started to follow them and found that their simple but effective aesthetics reminds me of Scandinavian design. The next thing that literally kicked me out of the chair, was their project called Hands revealed.This blog post was ment to be written this autumn, when I saw the exhibition of items made for this projekt, at the Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana.I'm slow, I know but it's never too late, right?

Oloop works in various fields of visual creativity. They are interested in land development design and integration of socially engaged projects. 
Recently, they interduced us an interesting new project in Galerija Kresija in Ljubljana , textile istalation in progress, which they named Povezave-Connections. Unfortunately I missed that, but would be more than happy to try  manually crocheting and to allow  my mind to wanders far away. I wish there were more creative associations and therefore more interesting projects like this. If you  want to know more about this girls, have a peak at their website and FB page.
