More eye drawings from the new sketchbook

 

Here are more eye drawings from the new sketchbook. I've been really enjoying the new angles and fun colour combos. If you are wondering why I never share my reference photos, it's because I use them more as inspiration references and let my imagination do the rest...*winks*

Workspace Wednesday - decorated upcycled plastic container

So I've recently started taking some collagen powder supplement which comes in this rather large plastic container (just a 30 day supply). Since I will probably collect a few of these in the next few months, I decided that I would decorate them to store some of my art supples.

It was so much fun rotating the container and decorating each "section" with bits and bobs from my stash.

Since I can't do much about the colour of the cover (spray-painting it with a different colour seems like way too much work..*LOL*), I decided to just pick colours that went with it....

Added a cute bunny...

That went with the sentiment...

I really love how this turned out!

A page from the gratitude journal - Home Saigon

 

Last year I had to start trying out new restaurants whenever I travelled because some old faves did not survive the Covid lockdowns and travel bans. Among them was Home Saigon aptly named because it is actually a residential house that they turned into a restaurant...and the food was really great. Portions were huge though...so we brought back the leftovers for the hotel staff at the lounge to enjoy. :)

Papa Yam's birthday 2024

 

This year we had a simple celebration for Papa Yam's birthday. Home-cooked lunch and a store-bought cake.

He really likes this mango cake...can you tell from his face? *LOL*

Then we went out for Thai food for dinner. :)

Not quite sure about this layout. Had this patterned paper for a while and was never really inspired to use it. I tried repeating some elements like the sticker and the washi tape and the brads to provide a little cohesiveness across the photos. 

I love that it is quite different from my usual style but I still managed to incorporate fun elements. :)

Happy week ahead friends!

Eye drawings in a new sketchbook

 

So this girl started another eye drawing sketchbook...*winks*

What can I say? I just find eye drawing extremely therapeutic...*LOL*

I have gone for a whole new set of reference photos so that I can practise different eye angles and play with different colour combos.

Challenging myself to get a little more depth in my drawings on days that I have a little more time...

And maybe work on the eyebrow game..that needs major improvements.

And just have fun doing something I enjoy.

Happy weekend friends! :)

The one about dad's new bag

 

So dad got a new Coach bag....and was really excited about taking it out to town for a spin. *winks*

As always, I brought the folks out for dinner, shopping and a Sephora event.:)

Yes...I actually did some stamping! *LOL*

Pretty happy that I got to use up strips of scraps...

Hope you are having a great week so far!

The one about the salty tau sar piah

 

I really enjoy treats like this salty Loong Fatt tau sar piah (traditional Chinese pastry made with mung bean paste)...perfect with a hot cup of tea. The salt helps to temper down the sweetness and just makes it more yummy. There are many variations of this pastry but this is the only store that makes it the way I like it. Parking is a tad challenging so I only eat it like once a year. *LOL*
