Hello!!! I ♥ STATIONERY too

 


"Pens, papers, and all the rest. Some things are technically not stationery, but they're related so whatever."
~I  Stationery

The work here is simply inspirational. Simplicity and kind. Innocent with killer innovations.
It inspires me to do works likes this. Not only stationeries but everything that may be related in the littlest way with ideas and executions that are superb. The stationeries are to die for too. I am a person who goes crazy when I am in a stationery shop. I have too many pens, far more for my own good. I have pens that I do not need. But the feeling of having it is just irresistible. Pens, paper....art...creation..there are a team.

Little black book



What is in my little black book?
A place where i play.
A place of solace?
A place to hide my thoughts.
Inside is where i dwindle and sketch nonsense. Things that i think that do not mean anything but somehow does. Maybe it does not make any sense but somehow it relates to me unconsciously. I am afraid to open my thoughts to people. Most parts too afraid to know what people think.
Judgement! It is the worst critic. Been procrastinating on uploading up photos and have not had any new sketches. But heck no, actually i have had all the sketches from before and will post them up in no particular order and no particular reason why. I guess because i can and i should.

Having a motivation to do so is good.
For me it was Luli, little cheeky monkey boo.
My little french chinese
bundle of magic.


Not much of sketches at this point, just realise that i do need to pump up on the doodles and sketches to find my style. Luli, my darling daughter gave me inspiration to reserve something for her for when she is all grown up. It is true what they say about growing your child...you somehow love them instantly.


Font discovery and writing what is dear to the heart. Little sketches here and there.

And sketches from my little black (secret book) ;)


* My overly cluttered closet and this is only a sneak peek. Its not even opened to its' fullest. 


The sketches continues, will upload more once i get the chance to. The cheeky monkey is really clingy and it is hard to work by day...so night shift is inevitable. Here is her little fingers trying to get hold of the black book.

FALLING Asleep

...in the night so blue

Sometimes falling asleep is hard. At best for me, it takes at least thirty minutes to fall asleep. What best way to fall asleep faster is to imagine myself as 'A Thing'. Be it a rock, an egg underneath a hen..all nice and warm...to a coat of paint undisturbed. Just a few illustration quickie from all the imagination done in bed recently. Some people are just fast sleepers... for those that are not, happy imagining.




Well well Mr.Booger. It isn't a pretty sight but its a delight. All so sticky and not in sight, sleeping quietly in the night. I think it is true enough that they tend to be forgotten..true story. Sleep tight!!




A sledge hammer, so heavy and so lazy. It is the idea of the husband who in fact takes minutes to fall asleep..make that seconds. I do not know how some people can do that, it is amazing. It takes me at least thirty minutes to fall asleep. Sleep tight Sledge Hammer.




A Star Fish, tucked away deep on the ocean floor, in the night, beneath the moonlight. Calm down below...so glued to the ground and so sure there would be no one to bother me.




A ball of lettuce..far away in the corner end of the garden, no one disturbing. Perfect night, leafs all flat on the ground. *splat* Good night world. Its time to go think of more.

The unconventional way to a better sleep.

Good Night/Bonne Nuit
