Značke od "fotra" / My fathers badges

Vsi smo nekaj zbiral, ko smo bli mladi, no moj oča (čeprav mama pa ata pravita drugače) je zbiral značke. In res jih je veliko. Bi rekla, da jih je v dveh albumih, ki sta sedaj moja "dediščina" vsaj 1000, pa vsaka je drugačna. Očitno je bilo takrat (ene 30 let nazaj) moderno, da je vsako podjetje imelo za promocijo svoje značke. Kok kul.

V glavnem, te značke so bile moja glavna insipiracija za izdelavo, recimo ji "kolekcije". Delo mojih zadnjih dveh tednov je bilo, barvanje blaga (tie-dye variante), na veliko uporaba varekine, rezanje usnja. Jaz bi rekla, da bo to ena mešanica 70ih, partizanskih barv, bohemian stila, punk pa še kej. Vključeno je vse, s čimer v zadnje pol leta obsesiram: usnje, barve črna, barva šampanjca, vojaško zelena (oziroma flaša podn), sprana roza/oranžna, zlata, srebrna, neti, resice... 

/Everyone was collecting something when they were young, well my father was collecting badges. A lot of them. I would say he collected them approx. 1000, and each of them is different. I guess it was popular in 70s that companies were using badges as a promotional material.

Anyway, I used them as my inspiration for my new "collection". For the last two weeks, I have been tie-dying fabric, bleaching fabric, cutting leather. I would say this will be a mix of 70s, partisans(?) colours, bohemian style, punk. Included is everything I have been obsessing about for the last half year: leather, colors black, champagne, army green, bleached pink/orange, gold, silver..

Jaz se že zelo veselim "uradne najave" čeprav bi najraje vse obdržala zase. Ampak moje omare so že prepolne.

/ I am very excited about the "coming out" of the collection, altought I would liek to keep everything for myself. But my closets are to full already.  

 Najprej sem blago barvala v kuhinji, pa smo ugotovil, da samo svinjam, tako, da so mi zdaj delovno postajo naštimal kar zunaj. Preden zavreš vodo v 50L (ne pretiravam) loncu, je tudi umetnost.

/ First I was dying fabric in the kitchen, but we soon figured out, that I was doing too much mess, so I was moved outside. And I tell you, before you boil the water in 50L pot it takes I lot of time.
