Hello everyone and welcome to a Serbian Monday! This week’s featured artist is a cutie aka Iva Brkic aka Keewee, a young lady in love with ceramics and handmade, living in Belgrade and creating the most gorgeous ceramic jewelry, tableware, home ware and much more. How did I find out about Iva? I need to give credit for this to Jelena, artist behind LoveLeyla (you can recall her from this post), whom I met last week and who was wearing a sweet and heart-melting brooch which made me fall in love instantly! Well, the brooch was made by Iva and I couldn’t be more thrilled when Iva agreed to be featured on creamylife and even more when she told me she reads my blog, that was flattering :). You know, makes me very proud of myself to have started Serbian Made category, because I got to meet so many wonderful people through it! The talent I’ve seen in the past couple of months is mind-blowing, so creamylife helped me a lot in knowing better Serbian artists and their aesthetics. Iva is no exception! Her work is amazing!
Serbian Made: Dugmence
Good Monday morning, friends! I hope you had a fabulous weekend, but it’s now time for a new week, new expectations and plenty of work to be done! I’m kicking off this new week with a Serbian made post (how unpredictable, right?), please enter Kristina, crafter behind Dugmence site! Kristina is creating what can only be called dreamy and so close to our hearts – bags, purses, wallets and how do we love all this, don’t we? But Kristina’s work isn’t just useful, it’s also so pretty, I could easily die for it! The bags, purses and everything the rest is handmade by Kristina, designed by her from scratch and you can feel the huge talent she has by looking at the designs! Besides bags, purses and wallets (which I focused on in this post), seems like Kristina is attracted by patchwork and she loves to create bedspreads made with this technique (you must see those bedspreads! they’re gorgeous!). For now, here are those things that us, girls, can’t live without!
News+Monthly style board+Serbian made
Good Monday morning! Yesterday on Twitter I realized that it’s almost end of September and I still didn’t put together my monthly fashion board! Also, today is Monday, so traditionally we should have on creamylife a Serbian Made post! Plus I have some news to share with you! Today’s post is 3 in 1 and I think this is a pretty good deal! So, my exciting news: last week perhaps you already heard that I’m a columnist on the newly launched fashion and lifestyle online Serbian magazine Wannabe Magazine, writing about my love for interior design and beautiful spaces. You can read my posts there twice a month. Some days ago, they had a post about Belgrade street style, so now instead of creating a style board, I’ll post pictures of how people here get dressed on a September day as seen in the downtown. And this will do the trick for my Serbian made category, right?
Serbian Made: Lifestyle furniture by Marija Djordjevic
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.
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: Drangulije
Good morning everyone. How was your weekend? Mine was pretty nice (besides the sore throat which is killing me the last couple days!). But back to my post, today is Monday and I’m here to bring to your attention one more Serbian example of creativity! Please enter Biljana from Drangulije blog. Biljana is doing what I’ve never seen before: candles! Of course, besides candles Biljana is creating beautiful jewelry and the most beautiful handmade lamps ever, but the handmade candles are what caught my eye as they seem to be pure magic – with all those mixed colors and patterns! I want to share them with all of you, I definitely think Biljana’s work is one of a kind!
Serbian Made: Like flowers and butterflies
Hi everyone! I hope your weekend was fabulous! Time for a new week ahead and now, looking through the window and seeing a sunny warm day (FINALLY, after two weeks of rain!) I can say this will be an amazing week! Today, as it became traditional already, it’s Serbian Monday – and a new very creative and just wonderful crafter! Little introduction: I finally put my hands on the new issue of Elle Dekor Serbia and oh, how much I love that magazine, they always have great features, beautiful pictures and useful advice! So, this week’s crafter was featured there and now please enter Katarina from Like flowers and butterflies! Needless to mention how HAPPY I was to read about Katarina there: she’s a thirty-something mom of three adorable children who are her inspiration and motivation to create clothing and accessories for the little ones. Not only she’s fabulous at designing and sewing, she also has another Etsy shop where she sells handmade acrylic doily silhouettes. I’m so proud of meeting such a talented, lovely lady like Katarina and I should also mention that her work was featured in various magazines: Country Living, Belle Armoire, Elle Dekor (twice) and more; she was interviewed for a local TV channel and oh, well, you must see her work in order to understand what do I mean: please check her blog, Etsy shop for the little ones Flowers and butterflies, Etsy for home decorations, bags and more, I wanna be or Flickr, for more eye-candy. Katarina is shipping world wide and you should check her stores, you don’t want to miss that! I highlighted some things I liked the most (so hard to decide!):
