Color pencils necklace

 

I don't know how to draw. But i have tons of color pencils, crayons, and many drawing tools. All i know is to create something with all of that apart from drawing an image. So, after seen images of beautiful color pencil jewelry on the internet, i decided to make my own color pencil necklace.  

 

Planner Notebook

after a loooong break in blogging activity, i'm back! 

Since two weeks ago, i decided to take a break a while from my lovely sewing machine. But i still need to "work" with fabric. Now, i added PAPER in my list. Yep, making fabric covered notebook is my choice. not just a plain notebook, but a planner. 

Having fun underwater!

So i spent my last day in 2011 took these underwater pictures, with Diny Jihad. These photos were taken at Tanjung Karang beach, about 60km outside Palu, Central Sulawesi. Right in front of Prince John Dive Resort. 

One waterproof compact camera (only shoot only 3 meters depth), photoshop retouch, rented snorkeling gear, and Diny, a tough girl who cannot swim at all!! Really make my last day in 2011 real fun!

December's images

Well, even though i'm not a good photographer and 'still' cannot afford to buy a new DSLR camera (hiks..), but i really love to capturing moments. 
Borrowed camera, and little bit skill to adjusting color with Adobe photoshop, that's enough for now..

December's rain. 

He's the love of my life

Ngeeeeeeeeng

my son's favorite toy:  a green elephant riding scooter :)

Water sliding

and here's my favorite picture of the year! Yep, that's me, while snorkeling in Donggala. Then i flipped the image upside down. Looks fun!

Rainbooooow.......

Nda jelas kenapa, belakangan ini koq jadi demen banget sama warna pelangi. Mungkin karna kota Palu sering hujan, tanpa pelangi... :(  So i made my own rainbow!!

Rainbow Friendship Bracelet

 Nostalgia dengan hobi jaman SMP... Nyolong benang-benang nyokap buat dijadikan gelang. Jadi penasaran, hari gini masih ada ga yah orang2 yang make friendship bracelet??? 

Color Pencil Necklace

Pensil warna-nya Gaza yang berserakan disana-sini, "dibereskan" sekaligus disulap jadi kalung! hahaha... 

Dremeeeeel!!!!

Akhirnyaaa... kesampean juga punya Dremel Rotary Tool. This was my most wanted tool of the year!!! hahaha...

Thanks to Fabian, yang sudah jauh2 membawakan Dremel dari Jerman sampe ke Palu. Muchas gracias!

Melilit Tali

Melilit tali temali hasil berburu bahan craft di Pasar Pagi Mangga Dua nih!! Dijadikan gelang lucu juga yah? walaupun saya ga pantes make ginian, hihihi.... 


Waah, ternyata bekal ilmu simpul-menyimpul waktu di Pramuka dulu berguna sekali euy!!! hanya saja tujuannya bukan untuk survive di alam, tapi jadi dagangan! :p

header for my new blog

Entah kenapa, setelah menghabiskan berjam-jam ngutak-ngatik photoshop, mendesain header blog yang cocok, akhirnya saya merubah haluan... sepertinya lebih bagus kalo headernya dibuat dari foto saja. 

*step #1 : naro label (buatan sendiri), plus pernak pernik seperti benang en kancing2. Tapi koq rasanya masih kurang sreg...

*step #2: akhirnya nyobain pake kain flanel... Hmmmm, keren juga! Ga lupa KOPI turut mejeng dalam foto.. 

tapi masih tetep kurang rame & kurang 'berantakan'.

*step #3: untuk lebih "memeriahkan" suasana, box yang isinya tali2 gantungan hape juga ikutan difoto... 

Jadilah header blog idamanku... ga perlu pake studio karna motretnya hanya diatas meja kerja, ga perlu kamera mahal (cukup pocket camera), ga perlu minjem properti, en selesai motret langsung nyeruput kopi sampe ke ampasnya!!!!

a midnight project.

Kebiasaan begadang (yang tak sehat) ternyata bisa jadi inspirasi buat aplikasi pencil case...

Make bahan denim dan katun (untuk dalemannya), trus pake flanel buat aplikasinya. sekalian praktek teknik french knot embroidery (yang ternyata lumayan ribet!!!).
