Crafting My Future

Talk the talk, stick the stick, glue the glue and everything from cutting to pasting.
For the first time, I see so many holes in my magazines.
The first cut ✂️ is always the hardest, but once I start making the first cut, everything else is history.

And for the first time, a project that requires no drawing. Instead just purely cutting and pasting everything I like into one artwork.

Yesterday was my fellow VVIP, Jon’s Birthday.
A few weeks ago, I planned to make a card out of this project for him .
Surprisingly, it turn out way better than I expected it to be.
Haha, while I know self praise is no praise; I can’t help but to really liked the combination especially  with the guy hugging the pink gloomy bear.
Let’s hope Jon likes it!

Angeline was inspired and did a digital collage instead.
And yes, her love for Starbucks are pretty apparent!
Now I am craving for a good cup of coffee.

The wait is over, the countdown has ended. Mission is completed.
And the show shall begin right now.
And I will be the only one walking down the runway artistically.

I recently bought some lamps from IKEA and decided to decorate it a little.
And this is what I did to them.

The first lamp was inspired by postal mail.
It has this Air Mail 💌 themed to it which I kinda like!
A simple retro looking envelope style instead of the plain white or brown envelope.
I also managed to stuck in some old stamps and “air mail sticker” onto the lamp.
Yes, I sneak the sticks from the post office for this project.
And of course I attention the main to LB. Have you received it?

This second lamp was dedicated for me since I need one badly.
This was inspired by comic and are dedicated to myself to be more expressive and speak up a little more.
So yes, I named this lamp Speak Up 💭 to fit the overall feel of the lamp.

Colouring or drawing the thin lines are a hassle.
I should have created stencils and  spray paint them cause my hands were shaking badly when I try to paint them.
And took way longer to keep perfecting the crooked lines.
Lots of bubble speech and in fact I think it turned up quite cool except for my hands were shaking when I was painting on it.

My third and final lamp was a gift for my sister.
I named this lamp Garden of Eden , since it meant paradise.
I personally think it was a nice yet mysterious feel to the name.
And my sister is a rose lover, especially white roses.

This is harder to achieve or create in comparison to the rest.
This also has a string of beads and steel wires, which was a hassle to tie and secure on the lamp.

While I find the wires and beads looking cool, the flowers were quite a let down.
I have envisioned it to have a large bouquet like flower on the lamp without exposing the stems, but somehow I failed so.
Time for me to make some adjustments for my next phase.

Now, finally a threesome picture .
So much so for lighting my passion. Now, what shall I do next? Hmmm…

I still have around 20 sketches of lamp which I haven’t put in to work.
These are just 3 from the many brought to life.
So maybe I should finish up the remaining.

Wait for me!
