spring summer 2013 (orchid blooms) textile art pins

inspirations from just about anywhere, anything, that---stirs your heart and mind ;D

(snatch up these last remaining bunch of orchids of satin, and synthetic cloth from a fave supply shop because i'm meaning to transform them into  'artpins 0' orchids'--so you'll prance around in them wherever!)
enjoy!

 all hand-made, pieced, sewn. the very essence of--hand-made art.

(often when working on some new batch of works/collection, i am confused and always seeming to find the balance between: art/aesthetics vs. production/speed; sublimity vs. profit and the problem of pricing ;(.  

one thing th0'--i'm almost always apt to effacing the machine-made look finish.

clearly--hand-made-ism ;D.

 i have ranted and whined about the hand-stamped made by the rubber stamp maker somewhere in manila, and finally found a way in sprucing about the look of my label--just so because i am maximizing yet the use of this hand-stamp.

 ready. enjoy!

i screams!

i'm almost done wih the ice screams, popsies art pin collections. they will all be sold at a bubble tea shop somewhere out here--close to where i;m planted ;D.

i'm fixing few more things so i'll be opening my etsy online shop again! ;D--s000nish.

and then, i have recently created few more wrist cuffs. some have statement 'words' on them. they are usually measured: L-6.75-7.75 inches, W- from 2-3.5 inches.

i have done them mostly with multiple adjustments. they are hand-washable, just always dry them quickly. they are all hand-made. hand-piece, stitched  with love!  ;D

no, you cant have enough of any of those ;D

(l-r: hand-made wrist cuffs, peanut/egg kisses, iced lemon tea, and tuna chili ;D)

summer black forest moist and i scream for ice cream

 ok, here's what happens when those ice creams are made as an embellishment to the pins i make ;D.

'never expected the velour cloth and other embellishments would contribute to help turn out like an almost real black forest moist cake. sometimes i'm thinking: 'to sell or not to sell". 

it can be as good as framing it--making it a two-dimensional art form,---fitting for  a nook in the dinning area, of a home, cafes, or coffee shop.

have a lovely black forest weekend and top it with ice cream! sinfully summer ;(

and hey---the summer is well nigh--on this part of the globe ;D

summer is well nigh

and i scream for ice creamsssssssssssss!!!!

a whole lot of new elements to work with for the new summer art pins!

----S0000nnnn-----

helllooo summer!

i still have so many shells collected and gathered from last summer's vacay. i have used lots of them already on my works and sold them. however i stumbled on these neatly packed and carefully edited and polished(at a local shop as i do the rounds of 'inspiration' stroll), i-do-not-have-these-type-of-shellies yet-- shelliess to which is: exactly are how the selling point -- affected me; tho' my old gathered and rough shells are still sitting and and gathering dusts  somewhere in the mounds of my hoards ;(

 here are my 'new raw material treasures' ;D while examining them one by one and my head is reeling with with design ideas. above is a washi tape cut from the japs and i am intending it to emebllish further my hand-stamped labels for the art pins i make and sell. on the right are: tofu and sour tomato chili dip and the less acid coffee drink--according to the label.

and now... here's how the pretty shellies 'been used to embellished these new--'summaah and beach' inspired art pins.
