Strings for Dinner

Cute chopsticks as gift from my sister. :) 

If I had been a very good cook, this bowl of strings would have been bowl of colored pasta. I'd sprinkle some olive oil and maybe have boiled beans on the side. For now, I could only imagine that. My craft life is analogous to a chef's relationship with his kitchen. I pour out beads and strings and create a concoction of my own. Dinner has gone cold after taking too many photos and deciding which is best out of the bunch. Ooops, the fake noodle was never warm. Today was just another busy craft and chores day. We've got a new bracelet "tutorial" on The Craft Bar site:

Thoughts of Tuscany

I've never been to this place called Tuscany but this writer featured on National Geographic Live made the place sound very idyllic. Took my pastels and overcame the intimidation of a blank paper. The drawing is my version of those photos on the internet that show up when you look up Tuscany. It's unfinished but I think less is more.

Resurrection

My craft life felt like a lonesome yarn in those 8 months since my last post and this is the first for this year. I realized I couldn't be everywhere so from this day forward, both my craft and art stuff will go into this blog. There is not much to say about art anyway. The image usually talks by itself.

Wish me luck. This blog needs serious rework. But for now, I just need to blog more. I know there is a lot to talk about. You'd be surprised.

On another note, my friend and I have been busy on another craft blog, The Craft Bar. I know this is another piece of me scattered somewhere. But this other blog has been born out of a dream. It is young and it still has a long way to go before it gets a place in cyberspace. Do drop by and give us a hug: http://thecraftbar.blogspot.com.
