Break
I’ve been going through a creative drought. I’m suffering from a severe lack of creative inspiration, and last week I was trying to figure out why that was. For a moment I thought it’s all Stephen King’s fault, but then … Continue reading

Hand-Heart Coordination
Last night I went to art night. Yes, art night. With my awkward left hand and my gimpy right one. It was a night that we wanted to have for my friend’s birthday, but following my injury, the theme of … Continue reading
DIY Month – Day 25: Photo Book
Since Diamond is the most photogenic living thing in our apartment, the photo book I made last night was about her. Most of my hand-made publications (i.e. zines) are either completely in black and white, or have only the cover … Continue reading

DIY Month – Day 16: HannukArt Night
Yesterday was the last day of Hanukkah. My friend (and former roommate) and I used to have art nights in our old apartment all the time. Now that we live separately, we still try to organize art nights to keep … Continue reading
DIY Month – Day 13: Pin Design
The idea of the pin design is an iffy one. I have to check where these pins can be done and how much it would cost. Last time I checked was a few years ago, and the store I went … Continue reading
DIY Month – Day 4: Snail Mail Art
I love letter writing, not only because it’s more personal, but also because it can be personalized more easily than email correspondence. Designing an email stationary sounds too technical and static, and if you want to add any pictures or … Continue reading
