Naše čudovito potovanje

OUR WONDERFUL TRIP




Takoj po šoli smo se odpravili na našo letošnjo pustolovščino - po BIH in Makedoniji. Trajanje potovanja: devet dni. Prevoženih kilometrov: 3547. Število držav, po katerih smo se vozili: šest (sedem). Število prehodov državnih meja: štirinajst. Število (konkretno) obiskanih mest: devet. Jajce, Travnik, Mostar, Sarajevo. Skopje, Veles, Kruševo, Prilep, Ohrid. Število narejenih fotk: 1652. Druga prevozna sredstva, s katerimi smo se vozili: tramvaj in kočija v Sarajevu, žičnica in mestni avtobus v Skopju, ladjica na ohridskem jezeru, star kombi in gumenjak na Tari. En rafting. En obisk džamije. En skok čez mejo v Albanijo. En obisk Kruševa (moje rojstnodnevno darilo). En dan preživet v družbi dragih ljudi. Ravno pravo vreme. Hrana in pijača: točno takšna, kot na njo pomisliš, ko pomisliš na ti dve državi :) Vtisi in spomini: vsega se sploh ne da povedat z besedami. Potovanje je bilo popoln uspeh! Le da je ostalo še toliko stvari, ki jih nismo utegnili videti...

/ As soon as the school ended, we set off to our this year's adventure - to visit BIH and Macedonia. Duration of the trip: nine days. Kilometers made: 3547. Number of countries we drove through: six (seven). Number of border crossings: fourteen. Number of (actually) visited places: nine. Jajce, Travnik, Mostar, Sarajevo. Skopje, Veles, Kruševo, Prilep, Ohrid. Number of photos taken: 1652. Other vehicles we took: a tram (streetcar) and a carriage in Sarajevo, a cable car and city bus in Skopje, a boat on Lake Ohrid, an old van and a rubber dinghy raft on the Tara river. One rafting. One visit to a mosque. One brief visit to Albania. One visit to Kruševo (my birthday present). One day spent with dear friends. The weather: just about right. Food and drink: just like one imagines when thinking about these two countries :) Impressions and memories: I just don't have the words to express it. The trip was a total success! And yet there are so many things left we didn't get to see...

Zdaj pa že slišim: "Kaj pa fotke? Pokaži nam fotke!" Saj bom. Ampak spet bodo takšne kot vedno tu pri meni. Ne tiste iz turističnih vodnikov. In ne tiste za v družinski album. Bolj take, ki sem jih videla z očmi ene ustvarjalke. Največ izdelki človeških, pridnih, spretnih, ustvarjalnih rok... Upam, da bodo tudi vam všeč.

/ And now I can already hear: "What about the photos? Show us the photos!" I will. But they'll be like those I usually post here. Not like those from tourist guides. And not those for the family album. Images seen through the eyes of a crafter. Showing the results of human, industrious, skilled, creative hands... I hope you're going to like them too.

Stavbe in drugi objekti. Posvetni in sakralni. Za različne namene in od različnih religij. Veliki in veličastni.
/ Buildings and other objects. Secular and sacral. For different purposes and by different religions. Large and majestic.


V eni od takih stavb - kaligrafski ornamenti.
/ In one of such buildings - calligraphic ornaments.


Kipi. Živali in ljudje. Resnični in namišljeni. V razvedrilo, okras, spomin.
/ Statues. Animals and people. Real persons and fictitious ones. For entertainment, decoration, as a reminder.


In trenutno največji in "najbolj vroč"...
/ And currently the largest and the "hottest"...


Kamen in steklo v Kruševu, prvič. Makedonium, spomenik ilindenski vstaji
/ Stone and glass in Kruševo, part one. Makedonium, Ilinden Memorial


Kamen in steklo v Kruševu, drugič. Hiša, ki je še mnogo mnogo let sploh ne bi smelo biti...
/ Stone and glass in Kruševo, part two. The house which shouldn't even exist for many many years...


Kamen. Na različnih krajih, na različne načine.
/ Stone. In different places, in different manners.


Kamen. Okrasje na sarajevskih zidovih.
/ Stone. Decorations on Sarajevo walls.


Sarajevski izveski
/ Sarajevo shop signs


O, nekaj znanega!
/ Oh, something familiar!


"Uporabne" umetnine :)
/ Consumable art :)



Majice - malo za hec
/ Funny T-shirts


Pa še spominki:
/ And some souvenirs:

Iz Sarajeva - taka za eno kavo
/ From Sarajevo - for one cup of coffee


Iz Sarajeva - taka za eno mravljico :)

Zdaj pa lahko vse pokažem

NOW I CAN SHOW IT ALL

Dekleti sta včeraj dobili albuma; malo me je skrbelo, če sem zadela barve, pa teme, pa če se jima ne bo zdelo otročje... pa sta bili tako navdušeni, da sem komaj zadrževala solze veselja, ko sem ju gledala in poslušala medtem, ko sta listali vsaka svoj album.
/ The girls got their albums yesterday; I was a bit worried whether I got the colours right, and the topics, and whether they'll find it childish... but they were so thrilled I could hardly hold back the tears of joy while watching and listening to them turn the pages.

In zdaj lahko vse strani pokažem tudi tukaj - vsako stran v obeh različicah, na nekaterih slikah pa so še dodatki, ki se jih na prvi pogled ne vidi.
/ And now I can show all the pages here - every page in both varieties, and some photos with add-ons which can't be seen at first sight.

Tukaj so strani še posamične in brez obrob - naknadno sem na vseh straneh po vseh robovih dorisala "šive" in nato vse strani zvezala s trakci.
/ All the pages here are still separate and without borders - I later added "stitched" borders on all pages and tied everything together with ribbons.

Po vrsti:
/ Here goes:

1. THIS IS ME





2. ME AND MY SISTER



3. MY FAMILY





4. ALL WE NEED IS LOVE







5. FRIENDS





6. OH SO CUTE



7. FUN IN THE SUN



8. GOING PLACES



9. MY FAVOURITE THINGS



10. A DAY TO REMEMBER




Pa še sprednja in zadnja platnica. In pentljice :)
/ And the front and the back cover. And the bows :)

Izziv in pol

A CHALLENGE AND A HALF

Izziv - darilo, ki ga narediš za osebo, ki je (še) ne poznaš osebno. In o njej veš to, da je dekle, staro 20 let. In nekako predvidevaš, da ima rada pastelne barve. Pa ji narediš albumček, velik 14 x 14 cm, z desetimi temami na dvajsetih straneh, z napisi in okraski ter predpripravljenimi okvirčki in prostorčki za fotografije. Upam, da ji bo všeč.
/ A challenge - a present you make for a person you don't know (yet) personally. And all you know about this person is that she is a 20-year old girl. And you assume she likes pastel colour tones. So you go and make an album, 14 by 14 cm in size, with ten topics on twenty pages, with titles and embellishments and ready-made frames and places to add her photos. I hope she'll like it.

Zaenkrat pokažem samo malo za pokukat, cele strani bom pokazala, ko darilo predam.
/ For now let me just give you a sneak peek, and I'll show you all the pages as soon as I give the present away.


A zakaj izziv in pol? Ker ima to dekle sestro. O kateri vem to, da je stara 18 let. In predvidevam, da ima rada črno barvo.
/ Why a challenge and a half, you ask? Because this girl has a sister. For whom I know that she's 18. And I assume that she likes black colour.

Zakaj pa samo pol? Ker se mi za drug albumček ni bilo treba ukvarjati z novo postavitvijo.
/ And why only one half? Because I made the second album without having to think about new layouts.


Tudi za tega upam, da bo prejemnici všeč.
/ I hope she'll like it just as well.
