I love how the water-soluble pencils add interest and depth to my drawings...
While keeping it "loose" and artsy. :)
While saving lots of time too.
Happy Thursday friends!
Thursday
Another week of mixed media eye drawings in the mini sketchbook
Wednesday
A page from the gratitude journal - Kaisendon lunch at Kaunta
I remember queuing up for 45 minutes last year to eat at this twenty-seater Japanese restaurant in town. It was really really good. And reasonably priced for the quality of sashimi we got. Unfortunately it has since shuttered its doors. Like many good restaurants in Singapore. Glad I got to eat here once.
Tuesday
What to do with old artwork
So I have a ton of floral watercolour practice pieces that I've accumulated over the years. They aren't fantastic but it seemed quite a waste to just throw them out. I decided to fussy-cut them and they actually look pretty decent. Going to use them on my layouts as decorative elements. :)
Do you keep all your artwork?
Monday
The one about the Pachira flower
Last week my Pachira (Chinese Money Plant) bloomed for the first time. The bloom was really big and fragrant. I was in a hurry and thought that I would take a photo the next day. But the bloom only lasts for a single day. Fortunately there was another bud on the Pachira. Which I got a snap of. And it bloomed the next day! Even the neighbours came over to take photos. *LOL*
Friday
This week's page from the gratitude journal - pork chop bagel
Really miss these one-dish meals I made last year that were way easier to prepare than the 3 dishes served with rice that I've been cooking most of this year. Need to get back to easier meals like this one. It was pretty tasty. :)
Wednesday
This week's decorated Christmas bag project
Scored a sturdy paper bag this week and just had to do a cute decorated Christmas bag. :)
Wrapping paper base, some washi tape and a Christmas sticker.
Monday
Monday's cuteness
Hello friends! Just wanted to share some Monday cuteness! Got the Miffy head cushion for my desk chair...and got the mini Miffy head keychain for my bag. :)
Wednesday
Another week, another double page spread from the gratitude journal
Another one of those unrelated two page spreads...*winks*
On the left was the free yoga session that I enjoyed courtesy of Drunk Elephant and Sephora. This was last year when I attended lots of free events (mostly with the folks). There are considerably fewer events this year with limited slots (no doubt cost-cutting by the brands).
On the right was when we took the ferry ride to Batam, Indonesia for a short family vacation.
Monday
Make Stuff Monday - Xmas pressie and matching paper bag
Happy Monday friends! Getting on with the Xmas projects....Xmas pressie and matching paper bag. Keeping things flat so nothing falls off before Xmas! *winks*
P/s: How cute is that wrapping paper?
Thursday
Page from the gratitude journal- my fave nails to date
This brings back memories..one of my fave nail extension details to date. Which lasted a couple of hours. Before I had an accident at the Japanese restaurant during dinner. Chair 1, Me broke a nail extension and hurt my nail bed. The bleeding was massive and scary for a while. And I had to go back to the nail salon to get my extension trimmed as short as possible so it would not snag on the bandage. But it could have been worse. The nail extension probably saved my nail bed from serious injury.
Anyway, glad I got this picture before the accident. Even though one nail was in a bandage, I did enjoy the other nine nails for a few weeks. *LOL*
Tuesday
This week in eye drawings - experimenting with watersoluble mediums
So I didn't really like how much the paper buckled when using traditional watercolours and experimented with other watersoluble mediums for the base layer this week.
Like Derwent Inktense coloured pencils. On this one.
And this one.
Plus this one..
And this one....
This one was done with Derwent Aquatone crayons.
Definitely glad my neglected art supplies finally got some play time. :)
Monday
Make Stuff Monday - decorated Xmas box
There are few stores locally selling scrapbook paper these days so I've gone for Christmas wrapping paper instead.
The only downside is that it is super thin, tears easily and shows wet glue marks.
So I used dry adhesive to stick it down then reinforce the sides with trusty washi tape...which doubles as a lovely border design.
What do you think?
Friday
Friday's cute My Melody card
Well friends, you saw how many My Melody knick knacks I bought from Seoul...so you should anticipate that I will have loads of packaging to use on projects! *winks* Like on this cute card!
Happy weekend friends!
Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday - new Miffy stuff!
I've pretty much ditched all plastic bottles and my Coldest and Hydro Flask bottles are just too heavy when I travel. So..I got a 470ml bottle with a matching sling bag for that. The small coffee cup is just perfect for my matcha latte. :)
