More Art on A Whim

-



I don't know why, why I thought owls are awesome, and I should make something with owls in it.  So I went to town with the idea.
Couple hours later, these are the illustrations/designs I came up with.  Somehow when I made this, I kept thinking about my Grandma and how she used to show me all these Chinese paper-cutting art pieces she made from scrap paper.  So at the end, these pieces all end up looking like paper-cut art pieces.  Homage to my Grandma.



I thought of the rainbow color theme but decided that these would look cooler with a tie-dye effect to it.  Now the question is should I sell these prints on Etsy or should I use these designs for my Zazzle shop.  I'm still playing around with the palette and patterns to make them even cooler.  Even though I love paper cutting art, I don't want them to look TOO classic Chinese paper cutting style.  Stay tune for upcoming patterns and Zazzle products.  Feel free to pop me a line if you love it or think it's just weird.  Comments are soul food for artists, so come on, drop me a line.

Love,
The Mochigirl

Phew!  I finally finished revamping my blog!  As I finally found my comfort in setting my office, I had no reason to not blog anymore.  But every time I stared at my old blog, I felt that all the sudden my inspirations and ideas got sucked into internet abyss.  That crude look of my blog was simply an anti-muse.  So I decided I needed a layout that is more "me".  So here it is, my new blog.  In a way that header stand for what I strive for in life -- to make something that is original, practical, yet slightly romantic and girlie from something that is natural or recycled.  All the sudden, there is a click in my brain.  So now it all becomes clear.  In last term, my teachers and classmates often used the phrase "This is so YOU!" or "This isn't your style."  I was frustrated by these two comments as I was puzzled by the definition of "my style".  What IS my style?  Having put all my energy and effort into my assignments and projects, it wa

Hubby is required to take these antibiotic pills after he had some work done on his teeth.  Yup.  All thanks to chugging 4 Monster Drinks a day for a whole year.  Anyone who's reading this, stop with the Monster Drinks.  I'm serious.  Switch back to good ole' coffee.  I know it'll give you stains.  But at least you'll still have your teeth. Anyways, that was the background story that led to this conversation...

Things You Don't Notice Until You Fall Down

-
This afternoon when I was preparing to go out for a grocery trip, I hurried down the stairs only to slip and fell down couple steps.  One second earlier I was standing, and the next I was sledding down the stairs with my feet in the air.  Now my body suffered from the accident.  My tailbone was bruised, my elbows was raw from the carpet burn, and my left wrist and thumb swelled from the odd, twisted angle I landed.  I could only thank that I did not hurt my right hand or else all my work would have to wait.  And I was truly thankful that I have a husband who came rushing over after hearing all that noise and a dog who was busily checking to see if I was hurt.  After confirming to him that I was alright, I sat on the ground to collect myself. There I questioned myself, "why did I fall"?  Suddenly I remembered that my husband fell down that exact place several times.  Not only that, but I specifically recalled the previous renter telling us that he slipped couple times on tho
