RAIN FASHION – workshop by Vahida Ramujkić

"so when you hear it thunder,
don't run under a tree..."
(Pennies from heaven)



On Monday, Marta and I had a pleasure of meeting lovely and so talented Vahida Ramujkic , designer behind the umbrella skirt project. We had a chance to make a chic skirt out of brought umbrella, with a little help from her professional assistance, ideal for rainy days or as a present.



Here is the exception from original text by Aviv Kruglanski:
"Autumn is here and after hot long summer clouds begin to gather. On rainy and windy days that are coming, textile ecology and GRAD deliver us a unique opportunity. The next time it pours, wait for it to calm down a bit, and walk out on the street fearless! It’s a perfect moment for umbrella “harvest”! We go out to “harvest”, “armed” with scissors or penknives in the raincoat. When we find a broken umbrella, we recover the fine material from the metal frame. At this point we are interested in the waterproof hexagonal material."

Here is the Winnie de Pooh skirt we made for Marta and she loved it:)

And now, just because we have this lovely skirt, I can even say sometimes: "I hope it rains":)

Crazy weather

During the past 2 weeks, we've hardly seen some sun and felt some "normal" springy weather. I suppose that talking about the seasons and expecting the seasons to be as once is impossible and will unfortunately be always more impossible, but hoping to be wrong, I will just post a few pics I took the other day while going to the KC Grad and while being there.









Maybe they will not appear as happy as most of my pics, but you can only blame the crazy weather for that, and the fact, that those indoor pics taken without flash are also taken without any other artificial indoor light, as there wasn't any due to the missing electricity/power factor. But I totally loved the atmosphere, the available light and some views...including the pics of what I made: a new bag for my sister and some of the accessories, that are now offered for sale at Gradstor, KC Grad in Belgrade, Brace Krsmanovica 4.











I am preparing a lot of new things for the upcoming Mikser week, that will be exhibited within the KC Grad expo space.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Katarina
