30day Drawing Challenge

I am so behind Aileen's 30 Day Drawing Challenge. it's also been a month since my last post here. huhu! hopefully I'll be able to update my blog more through this challenge. so here's Day1: draw yourself

on another note, I have been tinkering with new materials lately. thank heavens for air-drying clay as I do not have a kiln or an oven to bake normal clay or Sculpey. 

it's my first time to work with this medium and i find it interesting. I'm still a bit chicken to paint it though (it's also my first time to use acrylic, any tips?)

rubber stamps



guilty of crafting!

 well i haven't been totally busy during my weekends/holidays, i was able to squeeze in some rubber (eraser) stamps during my breaks.

red fox stamps (Le Renard Rouge)

i got my stamp carving tools at the Deovir online store, thank God they have one and that they are reasonably priced (have to make it a point to visit their real shop soon). the erasers i got from stationery deptartments of different stores, and let me tell you not all erasers are alike. i like the harder ones because they are easier to work with, rather than the elastic ones. i only have one stamp pad, an old school one from National Bookstore. hopefully i can be able to get more brilliantly colored ones (any suggestions?) or try watercolor as ink. 


folksy name stamp; í have to work on my fonts!

at first i found carving to be taxing as the eraser i got was to flexible and didn't always turn out the way i want to. when i got the hang of it (and a change of eraser), i found it very therapeutic, it's as if time stops for me. now i'm addicted (when i have time), and have been hoarding erasers whenever i go to the stationery section of stores. now on to my next project!
