DIY Pencil Box & Floral Sling Bag

These DIYs were made in my last precious holiday after my second module exam.

 

The materials needed are two piece of cloth. I bought the materials from the 100Yen Japan shop, Daiso. Each piece of cloth is only RM5.00. So I think it is kind of worth it to made the pencil box that I like, and I didn't use all of the cloth! (which means i'm going to make other things later :D) 

 

Left: Pencil box, Right: Pouch
Both with same design using two pieces of cloth.
 

My brother asked me to make one pencil box for him, and he get one in full black. I hope that he won't spoil it.

Besides, I made a little sling bag for myself. Before that i didn't think of making that, but when I found the floral print in Daiso, I just couldn't resist buying it. The print has vintage style which is what I really like. (like in the Classics)

Materials: Another Floral print from Daiso and zip

Next time you might spot me shopping and studying with my own DIYs. ^^    Ciao~

Sketching

Short holiday after trial, i occupied myself with some sketching, being a beginner. The theme i gave myself was "the most beautiful actresses in large screen" of my choice, portraying my favourite characters, of course.

From upper left, Liv Tyler starring Arwen Evenstar in the lord of the rings; Upper right is Emma Watson!!! starring Hermione Granger in Harry Porter; Lower left, Anne Hathaway starring in Brides War; and Lower right, Keira Knightley starring Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, and my another favourite movie, Pirates of the Caribbean!

i-clay Cartoons

Hello! 

Yesterday i found a small box in my room keeping all my i-clay cartoon creations. About four five years ago, i was once obssessed in making i-clay models.

i-clay that i used (from net)

~~~~~~~~~~~~My little i-clay gallery~~~~~~~~~~~

These are the cartoons i made following steps in the instruction booklet

Then later on, i like to make some cartoons i really like, one of them is Pocoyo!

No doubt influenced by my little brother. 

*Smiling*

DIY Angpau Lantern

Chinese New Year is coming! I couldn't resist the urge to make some decorations for my house. Following instructions from book, I've made two lanterns using angpaus and self-made paper flowers.

This lantern is very big. I used 30 angpaus to make this, and folded about 20 paper flowers to put in the gaps. I'm going to hang this in the centre of the living room. It's quite easy to make, but time consuming. Most of the time i'm making the flowers.

This one is quite similar to the previous. Only 5 angpaus needed to make a small lantern.

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! May good luck always with you!

So i just leave it the way it was....

Oil Pastel

It had been more than three years i've never draw anything (Except if biology diagrams count). 

I like art. When i was young i really thought of becoming a painter, not as famous as Van Gogh but someone who can draw beautiful pictures. Yeah its true, i really thought of this. Then, when i knew that painters usually had a tough life and only become popular after they've died (such a tragedy), i thought of, maybe i can be a cool street artist who carries their paints and tent to walk around the world.

But as i grew, reality hits me. My little fantasy evaporated. 

I like too many things, handcrafts, biology, novels etc. And i knew all this can only become my hobbies, which i don't have time to do very often. So before holiday, i wanted to draw something, to remind me of my old dream *laughing*, and enjoy using my very-very-ancient oil pastel on the bottom of my shelf.

still keeping in my sketchbook.

I'm not an expert, my paintings are not very nice but i enjoyed. :)
