My Cup of Tea

Creative Block?

Posted by: 7thstranger on: October 1, 2009

Sigh.

I’m missing photography… It’s been a while since I took my camera and took some photos.

Sigh.

I’m getting restless and need time for more creative outlets… I have this deepening urge to sit down, draw and paint.

Sigh.

I need inspiration for new ideas… Need to come up with new accessory designs. The ideas are somewhere there but I can’t seem to draw them out of my head.

Sigh.

Photo Workshop

Posted by: 7thstranger on: March 4, 2009

The six-day photography sessions I attended since February 13 (held every Tuesdays and Fridays) has come to an end last night. I had a great time attending the sessions and learning more about photography. The projects were also both a challenge and an enjoyment to do.

Our instructor is an old friend and an officemate way back when we both used to work in IT. He has then shifted careers from IT to film & photography.

The night ended with some snacks and drinks… a time to chit-chat and get to know each other in the class.

Luckily, I still have this Saturday to look forward to. I’ll be attending a half-day Studio Lighting Workshop. Can’t wait! :)

Looking for Inspiration.

Posted by: 7thstranger on: January 22, 2009

January is almost over. My sis and I still have to think of new designs to release for our fashion accessories line and new gimmiks. It seems my mind is still on vacation mode. So no new creative juices flowing yet.

Think… think… think… Let the inspiration come!

Handmade by Me, Myself and I…

Posted by: 7thstranger on: November 6, 2008

dscf79011 I am so happy and excited with the results of our new handmade art necklaces… It does take a while to make and it needs extra care especially when putting the final finish, but I just love the end result!

I decided to make a personalized necklace of my kids for myself. Classic! It was a good thing I was able to find a nice photo of them together, which is rare. I then cropped and turned this colored photo into a sepia tone.

We will be posting and offering these necklaces in our business site very soon.

Lovin’ Clay…

Posted by: 7thstranger on: October 25, 2008

My new fixation for clay seems to be rubbing off on my eldest daughter (who is 5). She too is so anxious and excited to be creating different things out of clay.

Look, this is her first creation… a donut.

When Will You Be Mine?

All I want for Christmas is a MacBook Pro.

But all I can do is… Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.

To Buy or Not To Buy?

Posted by: 7thstranger on: September 25, 2008

Recently, my craving for a laptop has been heightened. The practicality of its mobility is luring me more and more to get one.

I still have my hesitations though. I have always liked keeping a desktop due to its easier upgradability feature, unlike laptops which I find limited. But of course, I can’t bring out my desktop with me if I go out. Duh?!

Initially, brand was not a major consideration for me. However, recently I seem to be more and more wanting an MacBook, as recommendations would put it – it is still the best for graphic applications. But my “as-long-as-I-can-remember-Windows-usage” sometimes gives me second thoughts.

Oh well, I’m still saving up for it anyway.

A New Addiction

Posted by: 7thstranger on: September 24, 2008

I am recently getting addicted to making stuff using polymer clay. The possibilities are endless. The results are exciting… although the expenses are painful in the pocket! Ouch!

About Me

If I can say it all in words, then there would be no reason for me to do my art!

I Quote…

"Spending time in solitude with your artist child is essential to self-nurturing. A long country walk, a solitary expedition to the beach for a sunrise or sunset, a sortie out to a strange church to hear gospel music, to an ethic neighborhood to taste foreign sights and sounds - your artist might enjoy any of these. Or your artist might like bowling." - Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way
