Welcome to a new week, friends! Hope your weekend was relaxing and now you’re ready to face a Monday, Serbian Monday here on creamylife. As it became a tradition, with another Monday we get to meet another Serbian creative and talented mind and this time is about somebody very special, my dear friend Marija! Marija Djordjevic is an interior designer and furniture creator, who studied and lived in Canada and now she is in Belgrade, trying to manage the multitude of design projects she has and her love for creating furniture (her crazy busy schedule makes it quite complicated, but she’s doing great, if I say so myself). I need to mention that the furniture created by Marija can be found at Supermarket Concept store (dreamy place! I’ll write another post about it soon), so if you’re local, go and take a look! Also you can visit her Facebook page for updates.
Serbian Made: Greeting cards by Alena Goran
Good Monday morning all! I hope you enjoyed your weekend (and you still enjoy it, my readers who celebrate Labor day!) and today I’m bringing to you the lovely work of a very creative lady, Alena Goran! Alena is making the cutest greeting cards I’ve ever seen – everything is handmade with love! She was kind enough to prepare a story for me and you, so here’s what she says:
“In particular I appreciate art, nature, photography and beautiful handmade things. For some time I had a desire to start to create decorative greeting cards, probably because of my need to give others something beautiful as a gesture from the heart. These are decorative cards that can later be used as decoration. We choose a card according to its appearance that carries a particular message which is something that is sincere and from the soul. Nowadays it is much less common and rare. I hope that with these cards I will inspire others to go back to times when messages were hand written and carried a personal touch. More romantic and sweeter (even perfumed :-)) than today’s e-mailing.
Ana Kraš and Maison et Objet
Maison et Objet is an exhibition which will take place in Paris, in the period between September 3rd and 7th and it’s all about interior design! Aw, I can’t tell you how much I want to go! However, learning that a Serbian designer, Ana Kraš, will be there made me feel very proud (again) of the beautiful country I live in and of the VERY talented people who live here! Now a few things about Ana – she’s a young lady, with modern views on what’s called design, creating items which are of much use in one’s home! Seriously, many designers have weird creations (at least seems to me), unlike Ana’s work which is what reminds me of a home, with all the adjacent details meant to create a comfy space. Here are some of Ana’s work:
Serbian Made: Di Vogo paintings
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? As you can see, this weekend creamylife got a redesign and I’d LOVE to know what do you think about it! In other news, today’s Serbian made feature is a gentleman (for the first time!) and he’s an independent painter with a big talent and a creative sense of beauty. I came across his work last week and that same instant I knew he must be on creamylife, joining in for a Serbian Monday treat. While looking through the portfolio of the artist, Dragan Ilic aka Di Vogo, I was amazed by the astonishing work – paintings which show off a woman’s beauty, splashes of color and daring feelings and let me be straight, if before I’ve never fallen for paintings, now this changed and I started noticing the immense beauty of a well done painting. Take a look at Dragan’s work:
Serbian Made: Love Leyla
Good morning, my dears! Welcome to another week and to a Serbian Monday here on creamylife. I know for some time I skipped bringing the weekly slice of Serbian design to you, but I’m back now, regularly keeping to indulge your mind with beautiful creations made by Serbian artists. Today I have to share with you the wonderful work of a sweet young lady who simply adores creating accessories! No, she didn’t study art or so, she is just enamored with everything handmade and loves to bring joy to her loyal clients. Enter Jelena, the gorgeous artist behind Love Leyla shop and blog. And because we both love creamylife readers so much, Jelena found time to write a few words about herself and her talent.
“My name is Jelena Glisic and I stand behind LoveLeyla website and brand. I am still a student of Faculty of Traffic and Transport Engineering, Department of Telecommunication Traffic and Networks. Surprising, ha? :)
I started making jewelry 5 years ago and I was very much into beads. Today I use so many different materials when creating new pieces.
Serbian Made: Danijela Momić
Hi, lovelies! How are you doing? I hope your Monday is going well. Please excuse my late blog post, I’ve been busy with my upcoming trip, organizing, cleaning and packing is what I’ve been doing all day today! Nonetheless, I didn’t forget about the Serbian Monday, which means you’ll get to meet another Serbian designer, who loves everything handmade and is creating pieces of jewelry which will make you be heals-over-head! Danijela Momić (pronounce Momich) was so kindly to let me post her work on creamylife and needless to mention how in love I am with all the handmade rings, earrings, necklaces and more! I mean, her talent is unbelievably huge and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share with you these beauties! Take a look:
Serbian Made: Dokona domaćica
Good morning everyone and welcome to another Monday or a Serbian Monday here on creamylife. As you all recall every Monday is the time when I feature Serbian artists whether it’s about crafters, photographers, designers and so on. Today is no exception, so please welcome with some warm comments Biljana, author of Dokona domaćica blog (which means ‘bored housewife’) and her world of polymer clay creations. Biljana is working with polymer clay creating jewelry (rings, earrings, necklace pendants and other), as well as magnets and little details which make a home to be unique. If you’d like to see all Biljana’s proofs of creativity, check her blog and Flickr, meantime I’ll focus on jewelry (I’m a girl, so I’m allowed) as I think that this is a huge talent to transform a mass of clay into wonderful pieces of jewelry of different colors, sometimes mix of colors. Well, in her latest blog post Biljana describes this process and you can read it here (it’s on Serbian, sorry!). Make sure you visit Biljana later, but now I’ll show you some jewelry I loved the most:
Serbian Made: Fashion photographer Milena Rakočević
Happy Monday, lovelies! I hope your weekend was just as great as mine and let me welcome you to a new week! First things first: on a Monday as you already know – the traditional Serbian Made, which means that another talented Serbian artist is brought to your attention. Today we’ll dive into the art of photography+fashion and the fashion photographer Milena Rakočević will be our help. I came across Milena’s work in the local fashion magazine Grazia and was left speechless the first second I saw the pictures: romantic, daring and beautiful – all at once! Of course, I went to check Milena’s site and guess what, I found there even more gorgeous, dramatic and simply amazing photography! Milena also worked for the fashion magazine ELLE (hello! the always fabulous ELLE!), her photography was used for commercial purposes by different names such as: Extreme intimo, Glam up, n fashion, U.H.S. Taubner and more. I could speak over and over, but no more teasing, here are the beautiful pictures I’ve chosen:
Serbian Made: Jane Doe Vintage Shop
Happy Monday, everyone! Hope your weekend was fantastic and that you’re ready to embrace with a smile on your face a new week! I’ll be starting a new blogging week on creamylife with another Serbian Made feature. Perhaps you remember when last week I tweeted about meeting a sweet lady, owner of the 1st vintage shop in Belgrade. So, please enter now Jane Doe Vintage Shop and its owner Bojana – a twenty-something lady, in love with all things vintage, working hard to make her dreams come true! I chatted with her for some time last week and I must say, she’s so worth admiration! At a young age, Bojana has her own vintage shop running for a year and half now, she’s traveled throughout Europe and she now has business partners in England, Portugal, Israel, France and other countries. Doesn’t this sound impressive?!
Serbian Made: Photographer Milica Tepavac
Hello, sweet friends! Welcome to another Monday! I do hope your weekend was fabulous, I wouldn’t like to disappoint you, but it’s Monday indeed! So get ready for a new week ahead! Today it’s time for the traditional Serbian Made post and this time I have for you an amazing baby photographer, but not just a baby photographer, the ONLY baby photographer in Serbia! I feel so lucky to have Milica Tepavac as the next feature on creamylife’s Serbian Made! And today the post about Milica will be quite different than usually, because we made up an interview for you! I prepared some question and the adorable Milica was so kind to answer them! So, please grab your coffee and enjoy!
