Wedding Plans

Been busy trying to figure things out and not go crazy with the family. DIY projects are so awesome though! Maybe I'll try to figure out how to make my sister a wedding dress that will make her comfy and yet, feel like a real bride. Picture of the dresses not the prettiest, but gives me an idea

For our apt, I'm hoping to also make a folding screen for some privacy since the Man stays in the living room and it's kinda awkward for him to sleep with people walking back and forth. And, don't gotta worry about people seeing when he's changing or whatnot. Planning to buy some rice paper and hand paint it... Just not sure what to paint on it. Scenery? Maybe something relating to us.. or not? Maybe autumn leaves since the rich colors are incredible...

Mum's arrival

Yay! Finally she's home and most importantly, safe and sound! Brought lots of presents (for me: cute lingerie, some cheap jewelry and shoes) for my sisters, our man friends, and the family. It's been weird without her for 3+ months and I'll be glad to give her back some of the responsibilities!

So the second pic is my bookcase hybrid project that I'm working in Modo for class consisting of: seat, light, and bookshelf. It's ceiling height, more or less, and it's meant to accommodate people of different heights and sizes. Still a work in progress.. Any opinions?

Random...

-Guavas are so delicious!! Had some pink ones today.. and then had some Kern's guava juice (I know, it's not really juice but hey, shoot me)

-Mom's gonna be here tomorrow! Yay!!

-Time to start crocheting baby stuffs! Talking about crocheting, I think of those cute hats. I love those babies with those adorable hats with the ears on them. :] Can't wait to see you, lil nephew/niece. Though, hoping for a niece to love cuz honestly, I don't know how to care for a penis/scrotum.... LOL.... it just looks so ... strange and delicate and swollen. Seems like a silly thought but, I was just thinking it when I was helping an uncle change his newborn's diaper.

Modo

For class, I'm doing some kind of bookshelf hybrid. I chose to utilize the word "folding" in my design. Because it's a hybrid, I'm combining the bookshelf with seating (Gotta have a place to sit while reading those books, yarrrr?) as well as lighting as well. Hopefully all will go just swell but so far, so slow. :P

Modo, a 3D program I'm using to create this bookshelf, is actually a really fun and usually easy to work with program. Renders quickly, materials are applied easily and you can find some materials online if you know what I mean. ;]
I wish though, that I could just plug myself in the computer and the images I have in my head would just pop up! Image the time that would save!! Haha.. almost Matrix-style, but the opposite..

Almost Vday, guys! :] For me, that means the time my mother will FINALLY get home from her 3 month vacay and I get to see the hubbers.. however, 8:30 a.m. class... Have a good and funday Sunday!

Really bummed cuz I didn't get the internship I wanted at RMW but.. posting some cool things about Interior Design...

At the moment, clean design is really a trend and I love the minimalistic qualities it has in interiors. Don't need all that fuss, right? Quality, not quantity! Okay, don't hate me but I hate how Apple has taken that so far and EVERYTHING looks the same! Sure, the first laptops and Ipods were interesting. Yet, does every single thing have to look the same? Same rectangles with fillet-ed corners... come on designers- design already!! Ipads look exactly like those Iphones that are such a big hit... so pricey too. Hrm, biased, I know.

Anyway, back to interior design..I really love model making. You know those doll houses? I always was fascinated with the furniture and playing with how the spaces look if you do certain things.

Process and crafting

On the left- one of the first paintings I ever did in 2007. The project was recreating a painting an artist made. I like it even though it's a bit eerie.

Currently, in the process of moving.

4 people in a 1 bedroom apartment? This shall be interesting after announcing (sometime this month) that we're moving out to my bi-polar and crazy Asian father even though we're in our mid-20s. NOT looking forward to that part, but looking forward to finally having some privacy and no curfew for once!! I feel like a teenager all over again.. haha... Only time can tell!

Moving on... since my friend goes shooting a lot and doesn't reuse his casings, I think I'll try to recreate something like the the necklace picture. Maybe not so... blatantly female though and perhaps some for my male friends to put on their key chains.

On to something more useful.. I've been thinking about creating my own furniture since we don't have ANY furniture besides 2 fold-able camping chairs that fits half an ass. Still need: a table top (got a free metal table bottom), 4 matching chairs, 2 beds, dressers or something to put clothes in.. Oh ambitious me... hrm, should check other's DIY sites :D

Painting Pt 2

Here are the rest of the paintings, hopefully I will have time this semester to do more artworks. Goal: Draw/Sketch everyday! Hahah, not only a personal goal but also something I need to do for class. Heh....

Trying to work acrylic to give the effect of using watercolors..Painted on canvas paper (not as hard as I thought it'd be) with a painting session with a cousin. Each took about 45 minutes to complete. Took the pictures with my built in laptop camera so the quality is terrible. Need to find that charger for my camera.. now if only there was a universal charger for everything for us absent-minded people. Kekeke...

On a more personal level, this year seems like it'll be an interesting year. Hopefully, WAY better than last year!
