Hallo, this is an old doodle I found in my things.
I’m taking a hiatus from making art works until I have a scanner or a better camera :)

Keep your head in the clouds.

And your feet on the ground.

The first image is a photo manipulation I made few years back of me and the face of our cat named Mrs. meow. And the new one is a vector graphic I created using Inkscape and GIMP.

I once climbed strands of hair
Of someone lovely and beautiful in her own way.
No darling, she’s no Rapunzel.

I tried climbing up. Up up up.
To reach the top of her head.
But each time I tried to,
I failed and fell down.
Down down down.

One day, she stood in front of a mirror,
and I saw how small I was.
Right then and there, I’ve let myself go.
And decided to become
lovely and beautiful in my own way.

This, I dunno when to finish.

I think, I’ll stick with this style ^_^

• Best friend and I went on a long trip. Week after, a lovely friend visited me with her even lovelier cat named Sachi.

Oh, Baguio.

Sachi and I. We look cute, we should be together. Forever. lol.

Hallo! Do you know the guy on the first photo? Yes, that’s Y U NO. teehee :)
I’ve been practicing painting freehand for some time now and it’s really fun doing it on shirts. The problem is that, art stuff are quite expensive. So, to make use of my available acrylic paints, I googled whatever needed to combine with it for shirt painting. Fortunately, I stumbled over a good tutorial (you can read it here!) saying that I only need a textile medium to start off.

THINGS NEEDED:

1. T-shirt. It’s better pre-washed :) Not in the photo but you’ll also need cardboard inside the shirt that you’re going to paint. I used an old shoe box covered with waxed paper.

2. Acrylic Paints.

3. Textile Medium. My photo isn’t much help, it’s 2 0z. / 59 ml. FolkArt Textile Medium. If you’re from the Philippines, you can buy one from Deovir. Combine 2 parts of it with 1 part acrylic paint (there’s instructions on the bottle).

4. Paint Brushes.

5. Palette or any water resistant plate you got.

SKETCH AN OUTLINE AND START PAINTING~

Alas, I run out of white paint. Nevertheless, Y U NO is extra cute in rage :D
Lastly, let the paint dry then iron it or you can use a dryer. And, that’s it!

I also made a Midori Kobayashi shirt. Midori from Haruki Murakami‘s Norwegian Wood…

This is the first one I made and it didn’t turn out well. Still, I will wear this because it’s Midori ^w^
