Random Art by Faye

The past few days I've been so excited to try out and borrow a drawing tablet that my sister's classmate lent to Ken (my sister's close friend who's been living with us in our apartment). I've been waiting to get my hands on the gadget and draw and see what it's capable of. Good thing Ken was using it last night to make her project, so nakisingit lang ako while she was resting and reading a book.

All I can say is... it's really awesome!!! Pasensyahan ang newbie. It's cool to actually see what you draw translate itself to the computer. 

Here is my cartoon self saying hello...

 My name hehehe

 And I wrote YAY because I want to have that attitude every single day because God has given us all the reasons to celebrate.

Okay, so that's just it. A glimpse of my artistic side. Hahaha. Artistic2x rin ako paminsan-minsan. :)

XOXO,

DIY | 3D Paper Diamonds

"Big girls need diamonds." That's a quote from world-renowned actress, Elizabeth Taylor. You can see it everywhere. Kim Kardashian's enormous $8.8 million diamond ring, not to mention Elizabeth Taylor herself, who loved all things sparkly! She even wrote a book entitled "My Love Affair With Jewelry". I mean, who wouldn't want to have a diamond? It's a girl's bestfriend!

For the meantime that I don't own something diamond that is actually made out of CARBON and taken out of the ground, my sister and I did some DIY 3D diamonds out of a few sheets of construction paper. A girl can dream, right? Hehe! This little arts and crafts by the way is part of my 2014 resolutions (here) and it's in #3 on my list! :-)

I have always been dreaming to be an origami guru... but I have never yet mastered the art of paper folding! (I guess sometimes I lack the patience *sigh*) So we went for a ready made diamond template that we found on Pinterest (here) and tried it for ourselves! The full instructions are on minieco.co.uk and you can print a dotted-lined template or a dotted-line-free one! We used the dotted-line-free template since it had bold lines that we could use as guides in folding.
