Sending out a happy birthday mail package


 


Remember the cardboard envelope that I upcycled along with the matching card? Well, here are the goodies that go with them. All matching of course. *winks*

This has gone postal to a dear friend down under.

Happy Easter weekend friends!

Workspace Wednesday - My Melody hand towel


 


Happy Wednesday friends! Hope you are doing well in your neck of the woods. It's been so hot here that I keep getting heat rashes. According to the weather forecast, April is going to be worse! *insert sad music*

But my sister got me this My Melody hand towel...and cute things make me happy! :)

Another decorated Fresh box


 


Wait...did this girl buy more skincare products? Yep...guilty as charged! *winks*


And since it comes in a minimalist blue box, you know it is the perfect canvas for me to decorate! *LOL*


These days I have really been gravitating towards really flattish designs because they are much easier to store/transport. I do try to layer and overlap the elements to create more depth and visual interest without being bulky. :)


As always, I love my fat birds....and flowers. :)



I may have gone overboard with the fussy-cut elements...but that's how I roll..hahaha


Finished with gold mist of course. ;)

Friday's mixed media decorated box project


 

Normal people get excited when they get a corporate gift...and want to know what's inside...


Me: ooh...that's a nice box I can decorate! *LOL*

My matte medium didn't stick to the box so I went in with liquid glue. But the paper didn't dry flat and it was annoying me so I went in with gesso and Faber Castell Gelatos. 


Next I went with fussy-cut elements to create a "border" centrepiece. You can't go wrong when you include birds and flowers. *winks*


I think it turned out quite bold and striking, eh?

Happy weekend friends!

What i got for my birthday 2024


 


Flowers from the nephew. You know what they say...nephews get their finest qualities from their aunt. *winks*


The Balmuda Toaster Oven from my sister. Just got it last night. Got it cleaned and set up in the kitchen today. Bought some croissants for brekkie to test out my new toy tomorrow. *squeals in excitement*

P/s: I buy my sister skincare, she buys me kitchen appliances...*LOL*

Happy Wednesday friends! Just a page about the new toys I got for my face! A skincare fanatic cannot be without her tools for the application of skincare right? *winks*

Tuesday's desk - recent eye drawings


 


Today is a sad day for our family as we bid adieu to my uncle Jerry, mum's younger brother, after a 6 month battle with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. 


He passed away in the wee hours on Sunday morning with his wife, children and grandchildren keeping vigil at his bedside.


I am glad that he is no longer suffering... but sad that despite the advances in medical technology, not much progress has been made in the treatment of certain cancers. Pancreatic cancer doesn't present with any symptoms until stage 4 when it is far too advanced to apply any effective treatment protocols.


Anyway, I haven't had much time for eye drawings but these are the few I managed to do in the last 10 days.


I am currently a tad obsessed with the side eye. *winks*

Enjoy the ride card


 


I decided that last week's upcycled envelope project needed a matching card so here it is. :)


Washi tape, fussy-cut elements and some dimensional bits for interest...


Finished with a spray of gold mist of course. :)

Workspace Wednesday - Tombow Irojiten colored pencils



 So I was recently gifted this set of 30 Tomboy Irojiten Colored Pencils by my cousin for my birthday.




In this set, there are 3 boxes containing 10 coloured pencils each. They are packaged to resembled books so that they look very aesthetically appealing on a shelf.



Here are the colours in the set I got.

P/s: There are 100 colours in total...and I am tempted to get the rest of the colours to complete the set. Should I? Let's play with these a bit and see how I like them first. *winks*

Friday's Workspace - the week in eye drawings using my new electric eraser


 


So I recently got an Afmat electric eraser and it's been a game-changer. :)


I now spend less time trying to create "realistic" skin texture...I just use my eraser! *winks*


Not that hyper-realism is my goal...haha. 


I just really enjoy layering colours to create depth and perception.


What about you? Do you use an electric eraser?
