I made an attempt today, to create pictures inspired by my crochet dolls with open AI picture generator. And the result is a beautiful beam of light in a dreamy garden.

Something extraordinary happened on September 18, 2025. On the 6th anniversary of my first book, my publisher announced that my new book, "Bela, the White Witch", will be published in English! 

Opening / Otvoritev razstave pa bo potekala v  thursday/četrtek,

Before I wrote the book Vilinska kri, I dreamed of having a boutique where I would sell all the magical things you can dream of.Beautiful crocheted mandalas, blankets, dresses and small things.The name of this boutique is MALJA'S MAGIC BOX (MALJINA SKRINJICA).And now I have it, it's on a stand and I put it wherever I want. My little magical shop, where you can buy things crocheted by Aunt Malja and her friends. 😃

The crocheted dolls from Malja's Magic Chest are authentic figures of the Istrian folk singer, writer and artist Alenka Kranjac. The unique dolls represent not only fairy-tale creatures, but also different historical periods of our places.

Since the exhibition was so well attended, it will be extended until the end of October 2022.
