Day 3 and 4: favourite food & place


 It took me some time to figure out what actually is my favorite food! I'm full of admiration for Italian cuisine because it's simple and quick to make, it's delicious, it uses fresh herbs and a lot of vegetables- for me that's the true meaning of cooking! "Eat tasty without too much effort" :D I know, I know, my lazy nature emerges in this ;) But I can't say that my favorite food is pasta or pizza or some of Polish dishes because it changes.

 What doesn't change is my true love for mustard! Since childhood I can eat it straight from the jar. Mmmm...

 And also I need to say a word about coffee-it adds magic into life! Seriously! 

 The story with cherries goes like this: we had a cherry tree in our garden but the fruits were very sour so no one picked them up except me. I remember sweet summer days spent on a fence, between the branches of my cherry tree. Was it before my fascination with Japan and sakura started? I don't remember.

 And the favorite place-lake in my home town. About water and what it gives to me I wrote here: http://martkadoroszko.blogspot.com/2011/05/great-water.html

Day 2: Favourite animal


No doubts here! Oh, ok, one doubt- is it ok to call dragonfly an animal? Maybe biologists will have some problems with it. For me it's not a plant, it's alive and it's not a human=it's an animal :D
Why dragonfly? Maybe because I spent most of my life living close to the lakes and there were plenty of dragonflies? Maybe because butterflies are too popular, too obvious? Or maybe because of opposites that are in a dragonflies:

they fly fast and furious but at the same time they can stop and stay without a move on a blade of grass

they are scary with their huge eyes but they're so beautiful with their delicate wings like stained glass

they seem to be so strong and determined but there's also something so fragile and subtle in them

Challenge accepted!

Today I accepted a drawing challenge from my boyfriend. It looks innocent and simple- draw something particular (like f.ex. something you want or place you want to be) everyday for 30 days. One drawing per day. Topic for each day is different from what I'm used to draw- pretty faces, dresses and bodies. But for how long I can pretend that I'm such fashion addicted? Well, I'm not. I love fashion because it's another field of human creative activity like music or cooking. 
So maybe the challenge came in the perfect moment to pave a new paths?

Textoholic





Letterings everywhere! Cities are attacked by letters and adds- every empty space is in danger. If not big companies, then street artists will take care of it. Logos, tags, profound messages, declarations of love and hate, slogans, etc. My planner is filled with words, neverending to-do lists, alphabet used again and again... 
Glorious times before print! Before language! With infinite space around and inside human beings.

Milion vs One

one human being vs the rest of the world
milion things to do vs the only one that should be done
clear vision vs thousands of ideas

Where oh where is my brain?


I'm wondering what happened to that cultural girl I was once. Let me think when I was in cinema? Concert? Art gallery? Let's make it more complicated... Philharmonic? Theater? Opera? At least I still read books! 

It's no longer comedy, it starts to look like drama! In everyday rush I'm loosing all that sensitivity to beauty that I bred during art studies. When studies ended I was happy to say goodbye to all education institutions but now I see how wonderful the compulsion to learn was! How I'd love to learn all the capitols of countries around the world! Or refresh all that once I used to know from chemistry- that was small satisfaction to understand it. How big my brain was in high school! Where is all that more or less useful knowledge? Somewhere in the dark corners of my memory... Or in a black whole of my brain?

I have to do something with this because soon I'll start to make spelling errors!!! And that would be the sign of total disaster...

Pinch of extravagance



I like crazy people. Even literally crazy! Sometimes their craziness makes me embarrassed for being "too ordinary". There is one customer, quite old lady, wearing screaming colors, theatrical make up and jewelery. And you know what I think? That she knows something more about life than other mortals. She must have know some special secret, particular wisdom that is covered for others.  I crave her ability of not giving a damn for what people may say and think about her outfit. 
There was another lovely, even older, lady. She also love colors! You could easily say that after the way she was dressed. Why some people age in a colorful way and some become more and more grey?

Stunning wardrobe

 I'm still under impression of Nina Garcia's book "The little black book of style". The most important and inspiring sentence from it:
"Be your own muse"
That's my new idea for life! :) And as a muse my main task for the nearest and further future will be to compose a wardrobe. But not just the normal wardrobe...the stunning one! Full of breathtaking dresses, amazing accessories, clothes that can be base for those more extraordinary. It's brilliant! I'm neverending fountain of inspiration for myself.  Life's better instantly :)
