Changing Phases

Last year, I have attended some online class which I identified my dreams, what I want to do next.
So for this New Year I will pursue my dream and set it as my goal for this year.

The butterfly symbolize the transformation ~ from cocoon to butterfly, just like to turn my dream into reality.

You must brave to explore and you will discover the truth.

Affirmation for the New Year

Resolution List for the NEW year

Read more from True North Art here.

My words for the year ... .INSPIRE and LEARN

Scrap from the fabrics leftover.

*************************************

The divination script that I gotten from one of the Kuan Yin Temple in Kuala Lumpur.

自小住在富貴家，眼前萬物總奢華。

蒙君賜紫金角帶，四海聲名定可誇。

Divination text：Was brought home to live in wealth, the immediate things a total luxury.
The Emperor gift the diagonal band, universal reputation can certainly boast.

However, the text cannot be interpret by reading the surface meaning. The meaning of the script depends on the attempt to gain insight into a question or situation by way of a standardized process or ritual.

Mala Beads

Material used : Polymer Clay ( Sculpey, Premol, Granitex )
Tools : Waxed paper (work surface) , rubber stamp, bamboo skewer (put the holes), oven

The clay must be conditioned by kneading it in your hands until it soft and flexible.

Can you see that is some black stain on the beads which I had over-burn it :p
(*suggested 130 degree celcius for 10-15 mins - depends on the size of the beads)

The colour of brownish-square piece was formed during over-baking.
And the left piece , that's the bad example... totally burnt. But touching up with silver acrylic paint.

Part of the beads will be send to Kathryn Antyr. As I joined her in Friendship Mala Bead Swap. Each participant will send in 30 beads and receive 27 beads from around the world to make a friendship mala (prayer bracelet).

Fabric Journal Cover

Yay...look at the scary picture (no editing).
My camera, which is half-dead seems not so to the sunlight.

The following pictures was taken inside the room.

Last 2 days, I was sewed some fabrics by using mine M-I-L's sewing machine.
Since 13 years ago, I never touch on the sewing machine until today.

I was inspired by Natima on her sewing skills on the cover of her journal.
So , I also want to make one for myself :)
