Christmas time can be really overwhelmingly busy and its finally at door step, to me that means I can finally have a break and spend time with my family without thinking about work. Wish you a very joyful and warm Christmas and have so much great time with the ones you love.

{ My Work } My a year in review pieces have finally arrived!!

Hi guys! Sorry for my slackness of posts, I have got so many things to plan in my head and Christmas time absolutely got me super busy! A few weeks back I sent my work to be printed and I am so happy to tell you that they are finally here!! I want to make them as tea towels so I made them printed on cotton fabrics and asked Andrew's lovely mother Dianne ( I don't know how to sew....) to help me make them! It's my first tea towel/ fabric work and I've learnt a lot from the whole process and next time I want to make a pillow case with summer colours!




Hope you all have a great week! Christmas is coming very soon and I am very keen for a break as well!

{ My Work } A Year in Review 2013

Tada!!! I challenged myself to do a typo review of a year a couple of days ago, and it was actually way harder than I thought. It is really time consuming, and my original sketches changed all the time. It's me who doesn't have a well-organised mind to stay on the plan? I want to make this piece a few tea towels but I can't wait to show you guys now! Hope you don't mind the colour scheme is purely personal love(mint and coral ) and Christmas is getting closer, are you ready??!!!




When the teal towels finally done, I will share you the update!! Half way to the weekend, yeehah! Have a great week guys!

{ Sketchbook } Casablanca (or wine) inspired drawing...

Hi every one! Have you come across a creative that suddenly boost all the inspiration after having a few sips of magical juice? I hope you know what I am talking about, if not, please stay innocent, thank you. I know I shouldn't say this, it's a very bad, very bad example, but somehow I wish I could know that I am not alone. I have never tried to abuse alcohol but I probably can describe myself as art-uptight sort of person. When I have a teeny-tiny thought about something might not work in my head, I will not even start it. Sometimes when I feel more relax and ideas just like whirlwind coming from everywhere! I know, I know, I am hearing you, this is such a horrible excuse! Guess that's why I started this blog and I wish this would be my conscience cricket who will whip me to create more works. So this is a drawing I finished the other night while I was sipping a glass of Pinot Noir.  Well, we should live a little sometimes, shouldn't we? (wink)

I watched this film Casablanca after I finished reading the comic book Sailor Moon's special edition. I am not quite sure about how many of you know about this classic (at least to me) comic book and the creator got inspired by this beautiful old film then made this book lovely yet full of sorrow. It's about the cat( Sailor Moon's campaign, Luna) fell in love with an astronaut-to-be who has cancer, I was crying the whole time while reading this book and I decided to find this original film after that. It's a great film which has addressed how beautiful and inevitable to embrace the imperfect ending in life. I guess the little Pinot Noir also arose the good old memories of my adolescence very well...

Anyway, I might talk about too much nonsense, but I do hope you guys have a fantastic and creative weekend!
