It’s not easy writing this report, because of the sadness and all those beautiful memories. Unbelievable is that one week of creative workshops can connect people so strong. We have simply became inseparable. Everybody are so kind and dear, everybody are smiling all the time. You have to feel that energy. It’s better than utopia, really!

Actually I don’t know how to write down my feelings and where to start. So, I won the elections for the best clown, yay! Whole week was superb and we have made a real circus. It’s beautiful being surrounded with the happy creative kids, I miss them so much. Once again I’ll repeat, everything was happening in my hometown and my ex elementary school. Day begins with the breakfast and morning creative work, buzzing around the school and watching what others are working. Lunch and short break for sunbathing, elevator riding and photo sessions on the meadow. Afternoon creative work in the school again and than, finally, showtime at the hotel. Many arts united on one place, Novigrad, my hometown.

I know all those kids still miss Novigrad and everything what happened here last week, because they are sending me messages all the time. I can’t count anymore how much people I’ve hugged last week, and how much of them have a picture with (or of) me. My voice is still “broken” couz of singing and lots of ice cream that I’ve ate. Back into “normal” world I’m out of space and time. Maybe everything I wrote here today sounds wired and “Nah, that’s just one week”, no it’s not. You have to try it out. During 8, yes 8, years of this creative workshop I’ve met many-many dear people, my friends for ever; and photography as my biggest passion. This was just a try to express my feelings and write a report for all those creative kids and dear people.

DO NOT BE SAD, BE HAPPY BECAUSE WE’VE MET EACH OTHER. STAY IN TOUCH, LOVE YOU ALL! YOU ARE MY FAMILY, HAPPY FAMILY!

Two days are behind us and the time is running so fast. My electioneering for the best clown is going very well, and my plan for tomorrow is to wear a pajama and slippers whole day, crazy? I love this workshop and my funky kids who are making every day more special and unforgettable – thank you!

Fabulous camera obscura will be our main tool tomorrow – let’s do the magic with that box.

First day of the workshops has just passed and we have done a lot. It maybe sounds crazy, but I’m competing for the best clown in our little creative circus and here is one photo from the recording of my advertisement for the best clown. Posters with my crazy clown photo are placed all over the school in a hope people will vote for me – funky elections.

Stay tuned for my next report and a photo with my clown outfit.

During the yesterday’s video call with my dear Sky Nash, a web camera really got angry on me when I showed my art and made the stupid pixels of it. We tried turning off the web cam a few times and it worked properly until the moment I showed my art – pixels again!

Maybe Sky’s MacBook don’t like my shitty laptop or my art is too strong for this poor little web camera – who knows? Very interesting case with no explanation. Whatever, after 2 hours of talking, some silence and tweeting, I’m very happy to have a friend like she.

By the way, after three months of super awesome blogging, meeting new creative people and featuring the best of them on Die without Art, this is my 60th post over here. Yay! Thank you all for reading, sharing and helping me.

Creative workshops from the last post will be starting tomorrow morning, can’t wait. I’m gonna sleep well tonight because I saw my friends on the opening ceremony after one long year. That’s cute, especially the hugs. The kids are amazing, so stay tuned for some photos and impressions.

One more busy but very creative week called *School of creativity – Novigradsko proljeće* is in front of me, a week which has changed my life exactly 8 years ago when I took my first photo with the fabulous camera obscura and actually discovered photography in the darkroom. I’m very grateful to all people who supported me when I was (only) 10 years old. Thank you friends, thank you family, thank you all. Then, about 8 years ago, photography maybe was not so serious business to me but now the whole story has changed and my teenage beginning deserves a spontaneous clapping, yay! Because it is for the win, really.

That’s simply my favorite week of the year because all my creative friends are coming to my town, my ex elementary school, to express their imagination. They are kids from all over the country, all ages – from 10 to 20. We have chose our workshop (for example: dancing, acting, singing, drawing, photography, filmmaking and many more) yet and then all together will be working under one topic – this year it’s a CIRCUS.

How you see on this photos from the last year, we are working all over the place and everything is full of colors and happiness. There’s no white walls, each is painted and filled with thematic illustrations. You would not believe what these kids can make, unbelievable.

Last day we are usually opening our group exhibition before the huge and crying ceremony. This unforgettable experience is repeating every year, better and better. Can’t wait to see my dear friends tomorrow after one long year.

I’ll try to publish our impressions every day, and still don’t know which hash tag to use on Twitter. But make sure you have subscribed to my feed and that you are following me.
