AJ Week 33 : Quotes for myself in year 2012

mini book for month 12

This year Christmas is not the same as last year. 

I quit from my previous company and join the current one.

All happen in this 2 months.

This month is tough for me as i need to pick up at least some knowledge to equip for next new year. 

However, I'm feeling grateful and enjoy the learning process and also been surrounded by good & nice people.

 

Cheers for the new year ...soon  

Merry Christmas

 

May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope ;

The spirit of Christmas which is peace ;

The heart of Christmas which is love.

AJ Week 32 : Year Book

(BEFORE)

I've binded all the mini books (from Nov' 10 to Nov' 11) into a year book. 

look very neat & sweet  

but not my cup of tea

I seldom using black in my works 

let the 'black paint' lead me thru this time....

mini book for Nov'11

This month , November is the month 12 of the mini book project.

I was inspired by Leah Piken Kolidas in her Creative Everyday. Instead of doing art everyday which a bit pressure for me. So, I started the project as a challenge for myself to create art + journaling every month.

"The purpose of therapy is not to remove suffering but

TO MOVE THROUGH IT to an enlarged consciousness

that can sustain the polarity of painful opposites."

AJ Week 31 : In the early early morning ....

Wake up at 4am one of the morning
May be have too much sleep on the day before

However, I didn't really concentrate on the painting
as the music and internet surfing was taken at the same time.
   

"Hmm...not what i want.."

Layered acyrlic paint apply on top of each until satisfied

slowing your pace and allowing time for your thoughts to run

their course before taking action on anything.

Happy are those who dream dreams

and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.

My computer was so so so slow as it was overloaded with hundred tons of pictures 

cumulative throughout the years.
