While waiting for work to start, I've been working on Sparks. It was started out of my desire to start crafting again now that I've got plenty of time and no longer involved in frisbee or school. I've always been inspired by ohhappyday, and started off making cake toppers and putting them for sale on carousell. Then I moved on to party buntings and subsequently into watercolor. I've had a couple of orders for the party buntings and just a few for the watercolor cards. But it is enough to keep me busy. I've been busy updating the...

In February I went for a free clay sculpting workshop by Art Detox. It came with a free colouring book, which I got all excited about and went to buy a set of water colour set from Spotlight just for it.

I started colouring the book and then went on to try brush lettering, when I discovered that I actually had a notebook of sketch paper material. So I started painting and writing. And sometimes...

Recently, I've been trying to avoid wearing shorts and skirts. Shorts makes me feel super conscious whenever I'm seated, and sometimes, the aircon is just too cold for it. Skirts requires me to wear safety shorts inside and it can get really uncomfortable and tight after a long day in school. The alternative I've found is culottes.
