These creative and soft, casual, washable necklaces conquer with their simplicity of beauty and by the fun of wearing it, as well as because of the story behind the material from which they are made, and to me as an artist they represent joy, a challenge and a means expressing intimate thoughts on various topics that will surely interest you.

Here you can find home decor crocheted from 100% recycled cotton T-shirt yarn. I am using crocheting to express my vision of handmade home decor as soft, cozy and natural. The recycled material is used in line with Green initiatives, that is to increase efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment. All items can be easily washed in washing machine on 30⁰C. Visually, I experiment with color compositions, "no color" combinations, or textures. Items are rugs and various types of baskets, although I am currently developing new additions to this assortment.

Beading is depreciated, although it is a joyful technique. It is simply stringing beads on differnt types of threads, artifficial (like nylon cord) or natural (like cotton cord or silk cord). Beads vary in shapes, sizes or materials. I love to use the Czecs crystal beads, because I love their purity, transparency and their ability to allow me preciseness in expression. In fact, that is why I only like to string glass beads and I am not creating any shapes with strings of beads. That is because I think that beauty of transparent glass beads is enough, shapes are usually possible only when beads are matt, and in one color without pattern. I experimented with metalic beads in creating surface, that is a flower pettals, used to create a ring. But mostly, i prefer beading bracelets and necklaces and combining colors to create the feeling of an atmosphere, like warm evenings, clear sunny day near seaside, fields of lavender, Oriental mystique, Fashion chic, etc.

Felting is an ancient technique of creating different structures from wool layers. Two approaches to this technique exists: wet felting and dry felting. Wet felting uses water and soap for shaping purposes, while dry felting uses needles. "Stones" series is the collection of dry felted brooches, 5,5cm (2,16") in diameter, which represents stones of round and flat shape, that can be found in nature. During my childhood we threw stones on water surface and, if the stone is of correct shape and you know how to throw it, it will jump several times on the surface. We called this jumping "little frogs". When worn, "Stones" brooches can easily reminds us on pleasant summer beaches near Adriatic and makes us recall the memory throughout the year.

Glass fusing is the joining together of pieces of glass, then baking them at high temperatures around 800°C, usually in a kiln. This technique offers a very wide range of creating different items and is responsible for very unique effects. The moment you are opening a kiln is a moment of excitement, because temperature adds its own unexpected contribution to the process. I created plates, pendant and home decor. Besides, I had an opportunity to participate in a team project when creating table top for my friend's outdoor table. That is me on the picture, on the left, making green stripes.

I'm a fan of carnivals and their colorful, sometimes cheerful and creative yet visually appealing masks. It is a magical atmosphere allowing people to socialize and communicate different identities through fun and celebration. Sometime ago, in shops selling arts supplies, I noticed Paper masks. They are white, just like the canvas calling you to paint right away. I bought a few pieces to try to paint or draw on them, without having a clear idea on my mind on what I would draw or paint. Generally, the synonym for masks are Venetian style masks, for which there are very skilled people producing them from paper mache technique. So I decided to try something new. My idea was to somehow modernize them in a way for them to still be elegant just like Venetian ones, but modern. I had graffiti and comics styles on my mind. So I made a series called "Not the Venetian style masks". It took me quite a lot time to finish one, because I used a very thin black marker and crayons. At one point I felt like I was finished with that series, and had a desire to make a series for kids. So the "Zoo Parades" series come up. This masks are mostly white, but each one of them is having an animal drawn on it. For kids I used only animal motives. Lately, I developed new experimental series with just one element - line. Then I applied the highlighters lines or surfaces, to highlight the idea and to introduce color. The "NN notebook" series came up, because it reminds us on drawings in our notebooks while listening to lectures.

This patterns are created in the early 1990s, while I was studying Textile Design and Technology at Faculty of textile design and technology at University of Zagreb, Croatia. They were part of my final work called "Evaluation and range of creation of textile patterns by manual and computer procedure." Unfortunately since the work is missing from the faculty library, I do not have a copies of all patterns, so I am displaying here few copies that I have. The complete work consisted of three parts: patterns drawn by hand, patterns drawn by hand and then scanned and finished at the computer, patterns I drew directly on the computer. The selected patterns I then finished by special software for weaving. The selection currently displayed on your screen, patterns 5 and 6 were additionally processed through weaving software and they are simulations on how the final textile will actually look like after it is weaved. In 1990's, this was really new stuff and I was lucky to be a part of it. My professor, dr. Vladimir Orešković, was developing the idea of software at the time when I knocked at his door and had the same idea on my mind and asking him to be my mentor for it. He was really surprised of the coincidence and happy at the same time to be in position to develop it further. Our cooperation was great symbiosis of weaving and design point of view. The tool is interesting even today, it can enable factories to see the result in no time, without paying for production of test patterns. If designers does not like the finished look of textile, they can easily change it without loosing money and saving time.

Today photographs are part of everyday life and it is almost impossible to be involved in visual arts and not to be involved in photography. Although not all of us are highly educated in photo theory, many of us are following internal feelings when shooting an photograph. Sometimes, with this personal touch, an visually appealing document of place, theme or action arises. In October 2018. my family and me visited Plitvice Lakes National Park here in Croatia, a beautiful park listed on UNESCO World Heritage List even from 1979. Lakes are incredibly beautiful, and the photographs I took are small fragments of nature that reminded me on pictures painted by oil on canvas or to a textile patterns that had been drawn by humans.
