Workspace Wednesday - work-in-progress

 


I've really been enjoying working with watercolours in my sketch paper book. Since it isn't watercolour paper, I can't really lift the colours once they are down. And if you add too much water, it just becomes a mess that you have to try to salvage once the paper is dry....which is the fun part actually. After this "ugly stage", I go in with my arsenal of mixed media supplies to make it look like a decent eye ...coloured pencils, paint markers, brush pens etc.

Pages from the Gratitude Journal - new things to try and enjoy

 


This year I'm all about using the stuff I have and enjoying them. Every day is special because you are in it. :)

Currently enjoying the Firefly bluetooth speaker, my fave concealer from Nars and a new fluoride-free toothpaste.

Make Stuff Monday - back to upcycled decorated paper bag

 


It has been a while since I decorated a paper bag. Still one of my fave projects to do...and give away. :)

This one is all pink and super girly. Even took out my white acrylic marker for faux stitching. And yes, still finished with shimmering mist of course. 

Hope August has been good to you so far.

Gratitude pages - Miffy head cushion and yummy lunch

 


Throwback to last November when I got the Miffy head cushion....she's super cute and a matching Miffy head charm (which I gifted to nephew #1's girlfriend). Also got to eat yummy food to celebrate the bestie's birthday. :)

Pages from the gratitude journal - Miffy drink containers!


Got these Montigo Miffy drink containers last year in Kuala Lumpur. Still using and loving them. :) Except for the Miffy slingbag for the larger drink container. It's pretty useless from protecting the base of the container when you accidentally drop it. Needless to say, my base has been dinged a few times. *LOL*

Basically just cut out the container box to decorate these pages. :)

This week's blue mixed media birdie

 


Lots of fun with this one. Took out the Caran dAche Museum pencils. Forgot how pigmented they are. Finished with regular coloured pencils and acrylic paint markers. :)

Workspace Wednesday - getting into the vacuum-sealed life


It's been a process to cut down on the use of plastic containers at home for food storage. I started with Pyrex glass containers for the fridge storage and glass jars for dried food. I also added some stainless steel containers so that the folks can bring food out to share with their mates without the extra weight and breakage concerns.

Last month, I invested in a set of vacuum-sealed glass containers for leftover food and some food prep ingredients to help me deal with time-constrained days. They have been great so far. :)

I used the packaging leaflet for my page in the gratitude journal. Added some stickers for interest. 


P/s: Have you gotten rid of plastic for food storage in your home?

Another Monday, another mixed media birdie

 


Decided to play with some neglected art supplies for this mixed media birdie! Yep, took my neglected Caran dAche Neocolors II for a little play time. Love how vibrant they get when they react to water.
