Splash

A splash of colour to wake up your Monday morning.  :)

This is another postcard I sent off in the postcard swap. Even though the watercolour paper was already 140 lbs, it still got really warped. I guess I just love splashing on that water. Maybe next time I'll try taping the paper down to help minimize the warping.

Happy Monday Everyone!

Breathe

No matter how busy you are, don't forget to breathe. 

Happy World Yoga Day!

I sent this postcard earlier this month as part of a postcard swap (I really hope it doesn't get lost in the mail and reaches the recipient!) The postcard swap really gave me a chance to finally break into the watercolour set my husband got me for my Christmas present.

My blog posts seem to be more sparse again as things have been busy on my end. Last weekend, my daughter just turned 3. We had a nice little celebration with a big family dinner as well as a family outing to the ROM on Family Day. I was also called in to supply teach a couple times in the last 2 weeks so my regular routine seemed out of the swing of things. Recently, I started up on yoga again but practicing at home this time around. I've been trying to practice everyday and I found it's a great way to wake up in the morning. I think that's what inspired this postcard painting of mine. Anyway, I hope I'll have more time to blog and craft soon!

I Heart Stamping

I saw this cute little activity over at a little artsy. With just Valentine's Day just around the corner, I just had to try it with my daughter. (I got my husband to try it too :D) The above art pieces were created from my daughter, my husband, and me (left to right).

Simply take a toilet paper roll, bend into the shape of a heart, and use tape to secure the shape.

Then stamp away!

Simple and fun <3

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year!

新年快樂 ! 

It's the year of the snake soo 

I made a card to celebrate the occasion. :)

I would say that my card doesn't have the same grandeur and festivity of most Chinese New Year cards but it's my own little simple version so I'm pretty happy with it. The only part I'd like to improve is my Chinese writing :P

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!

Happy February!

It's a new month and I just LOVE February. 

Not only is there Valentine's Day, it's also going to be Chinese New Year, my dad's birthday, Family Day and most important of all, my daughter's birthday all jammed packed into the shortest month of the year. It's going to be a busy one especially with me and my husband's recent organizing/clean sweeping spree of the house (soon I'll have a more proper art/craft space to get some creativity done-yay!)

The above picture was a collaboration between my daughter and I. It is created from Playmais pellets which I absolutely love and you can see more about it from this post. I simply drew a heart on cardboard and had my daughter help stick the pellets on with just a dab of water. My daughter further added her own design beside the heart which I think gave it a nice movement for the piece.

Happy February Everyone!
