Yellow doesn't have to be mellow

What happen if Lemon, bunch of flowers and pencil colors working together?

It's rather fresh combination.

Little treasure…

One of my loyal customers asked me if I could make her couple of Halloween Costumes for her children. I never celebrate it before, let alone knowing the date. After flicked hundreds pages to get the idea...here I go…

Hit the “Pasar Mayestik” a.k.a Majestic Market –famous for its shops selling fabric- in early hour, it’s kind of nice feeling knowing not many people around yet many shops are open. I knew where I have to shop, took me only 15 minutes to tick all fabric on my list, I spent another 15 minutes having a good look inside the shop. I was amaze on their piled of fabrics, despite their antic staffs that seems impatient while customers take their time to check those fabrics –I kept getting question: anything else? ; Maybe dozens time while my eyes frantically scanned one pile to another; I only had little amount of time to spent-.

I went home happy, not only I got what I need, I managed to buy some fabric to thirst my idea; of course the large theme still Halloween…

Here what I found…

Fabrics….orange dominant…

I fall in love with this orange-asymmetric style…stand out from the crowd; its design is Scandi look alike which I never expect to see in a shop in Majestic Market-




Teamed-up with my IKEA’s tin, look perfect –my daughter seems to like it too-

Only God knows

Only God knows why I stopped writing or drawing or sketching in the last few months. This blog been deserted. Which I am not happy about it.

Only silly people who wasting their creativity and positive mind. I don't want to fall into the category.

Promise myself to be back on track, when weather and traffic permitted **sigh**

Fingers cross.
