A Boat in Vietnam (oil painting #5)
A smaller scale oil painting~in order not to use too much oil paint...
cos I tend to use a large amount of paint and oil paints are ex~
Trying to capture the reflections and flow of the water and an attempt on depicting the human figure.
The original photo (taken during Vietnam CIP trip)
final painting
a relatively realistic depiction of the boy, though more details could be included...

pen drawings
my first attempt on using pen as a medium...
tried to capture all the details, but apparently not they're not 100% captured
drew this free hand, so the proportion is slightly off, but still rather pleased with them
the both drawings took a night (each) to complete, realised that pen drawings work best when it comes to killing time.
the second one is half done, as I lost momentum (the details are crazy~)
shall complete it when I have nothing else to do:)
Btw, these are all buildings from the AEP London and Paris trip, Singapore's HDB flats would be dull and boring to draw...perhaps I could try drawing the esplanade or SAM someday~

more sketches (cat +hands)

crochet cat:D
Completed these in mid-December...
took me about 14 nights to complete (with occasional breaks between)
but the pink one only took 7 nights. I suppose practice makes perfect:D
It was rather tedious and time consuming, but addictive all the same cos the cat 'grows' as you crochet.
Half-done cat...arms? legs?
all done, time to stuff and stitch it up:)
Cheeky pencil cases
Made these in November 2011, but didn't have the time to upload them, until now...
They're really simple to make (with the sewing machine), but the eyes are hand-sewn (blanket-stitched) as I attached as an after thought. Originally wanted a plain, one-color case, but they looked a little dull, so added eyes (drawn on white cloth with fabric crayons) while the zips served as mouths:D
The first one (green) took me the whole afternoon as I messed up the sequence of attaching the pieces of cloth. But the subsequent few took me about 15minutes to complete:)

Gave one to my friend (to replace her seriously old pencil case) and another to Shiyun for christmas:)
The blue one 's still with me...maybe I should use it next year...
