(not so) sunny sunday

I just realized that Jakarta now is starting to have

its rainy season. Therefore it is a bit difficult to get

sunlight that really shine in full and beautiful. It's

cloudy almost every day and rain hard almost every

night. Nice but not nice for taking pictures.

And I'm still working at the office today, but before

that I manage to go to the market near my house

to do some craft shopping and all. Wonderful. Oh,

and I did a little collage too last night in between

playing scrabble and eating cakes with my lover and

one of our bestfriend.

How's your Sunday? Hope they are peacefully pretty.

me and my etsy, my etsy and me

I have been excitedly busy updating stuff

for my etsy this week. I decide not to really

focus my shop only for one type of items but

just everything that I want to put it there.

I know this might not be a good idea,

but I definitely love to give it a try.

I am really having a good time trying things out

in my etsy actually. From pick and choose the items,

taking their pictures, analyzing the prices, and other

elements about it. I know that I am not 'there' yet

but I am really proud of what have I done there so far.

These are collages that I'm thinking of making

them into postcard set and I will be put on my etsy.

What do you think of these? Three of them are

not for sale on my etsy therefore this postcard

set is really one of a kind.

me and my fingers

These are things scattered on my office desk.

Yes, I do lots of things in between my job everyday.

They are a really, really good distractions and balance

from my office madness lately.

Some are new collages for my etsy, one is just this

new theme of drawing meet collage that I am into

and one is one exciting collaboration artwork project

with one of my office mate.

So grateful having these all ten and healthy fingers

with way too short nails. How about your fingers?

What have they made so far? Tell me.

I'd love to know.

me and favetsy: marmee craft

I bet many of you already familiar with her, marmee craft.

I know that I have been her fan from the first time I bump

into her blog and still can't get enough of her craftworks.

I think there are some artists that has a very distinctive style

but not all of them are inspirational. Well, at least to me.

What I meant by inspirational is not only her drawing style

that I feel inspired to but also her life. The way she loves to

live close to the forest and everything about it. The way

she makes lots of her dresses in that victorian style and

how gorgeous her Frida Kahlo hair!

Marjorie, thank you for sharing all your pretty finger power

arts and sharing your one of kind of life with me through

your blog.

me and favetsy: whileshenaps

I am totally in awe when I first find this one etsian.

I mean there is no way I could even imagined being

as neat as she is. Those dolls, fabrics, collages and

ideas!

She makes all these while her daughter naps, so

that's where the etsy shop name came from. Sweet.

I wish I can have one of her piece someday.

Go check her out, you will be swoon. All of you.
