These days, I'm into arts specifically calligraphy, brush pens and water color. It is somewhat my way of expressing the thoughts that I can't put into words. We all have that moment when you can't explain everything and there's no word/phrase to describe. I am thankful to the mankind for inventing such act. As you see, I'm doodling random things just to ease my mind.

First attempt in Calligraphy

I'm indulging myself with arts though my creations are far from perfection, it's my way of coping and self expression. I'm enjoying the days of learning things that are not related with my course. The world is vast and there's more to it. I just hate it when people expect us to do the things that we must do.

I guess my journey just begins here. I can't wait for more learning!

Altered Book Project (DIY)

I was so fond of art since I was a child. I love to scribble and draw random things at the back of my notebook. I used to do lots of scrap books when I was in high school as a part of our project, but this was stopped when I reached college. Unfortunately, my course is very scientific and has prohibited my artsy mind.

We used to paint with acrylic back in our art class in high school, but I never appreciated it. I find it difficult. I often end up with wasting it. A few months ago I tried to venture the world of watercolor until I have came up with the idea of doing an altered book project. Anyway, it's an just old book from a thrift store and I used some tissue, dried leaves, lace and buttons to revamp and come up with this cute book.

Here a sneak peek of one of my journal entries. I used watercolor for the background and Sharpie marker.
