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

Conversation between Hubby and Wifey: The Afterglow

This takes place during today's afternoon.  After a very very long hour of exercise, Wifey decides to reward herself with a facial (I don't know who thinks exercise is fun, but certainly not me).  She walks into the bathroom and slathers a transparent cooling gel substance onto her face.  As she finishes and proceeds to wash her hands, hubby steps in and just about to ask a question when he suddenly stops, looks perplexed and amazed at Wifey's face. W: What? (looks slightly embarrassed by the fact that she got caught wearing a mask) H: Wow, look what a little bit of exercise can do!! (Guess who was it that kindly "suggested" Wifey should work out.  Health freak!) W: Eh? (Very confused at the comment since she is definitely sure she just didn't lose 5 pounds from that workout and now look like a super model.) H: You all sparkly and glowy! (Insert wild hand gesturing.) W: It's my facial gel. (Rolls eyes as far back into her eye sockets as poss

Keep a Chicken Handy

So I guess I didn't get Lyme's Disease or Colorado Tick Fever....or at least that's what that fading bug bite is trying to convince me.  The swelling has finally subsided and no bull eye's target mark.  Interesting enough is that BBC has posted an article on how some people are really more attractive to mosquitoes than other people.  I can really relate to that.

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
