Yesterday I;

started the day real early with some dim sum at Red Star

went down town after many weeks -yikes- and came home with this pencil eraser from muji and new bras! not exactly sexy to share but it’s been a tough hunt so I’m super pleased.

ended the day with a full load of processed food – instant noods, canned bamboo shoots (I LOVE!), fried tofu, some honeydew and iced green tea

a mad thunderstorm woke me at about 2AM, couldn’t sleep after and so I had eggs on toast with warm milo

completed a different style of the twiggy things I’ve been making, sending this out to someone

And I also finished watching BBC’s Long Way Down, a documentary of Ewan McGregor and his buddy, Charley Boorman’s motorcycle adventure from Scotland to Cape Town, Africa. The first one’s Long Way Round (London to New York City) and I have to get my hands on that one next. It was beautiful to watch, the sights in Africa especially Ethiopia, Kenya and Malawi are nothing I imagined the continent to be. I wonder if I’ll ever make it out there some day. I highly recommend watching it if you like a sense of adventure and feeling emo!

What’s everyone been up to? I’ve been catching up on sleep and feeling like I have small small eyes every waking hour.

Twigs+leaves

I had some pictures involving these twigs and leaves on the blog before, those were taken during the making process. I’ve finally finished them and they’re now available in my etsy store.

The idea behind it was initially to create a decorative piece that would have movement to it. I wish I could for the life of me remember the exact point in which this idea was conceived though it definitely was a mish mash of several things I was inspired back in November combined with the origami leaves I was already making. Essentially, they’re made out of real twigs, origami leaves, string, beads and some hemp. I kinda do really love them and felt a sense of achievement when I finally figured my way around executing the exact idea I grew in my head (I, for one, don’t always succeed in that area).

I could go on talking about them forever but I’ll shush now. Do let me know your thoughts your feelings anything in your comments? Would love and appreciate that. And oh, clicking on the images will take you to the etsy listing!
