Wonderland day.

I find myself mesmerized by photographer Cade Martin’s Wonderland project for the Washington Ballet – a series of ethereal photographs of dancers inspired by the Lewis Carroll classic.

What's your definition of beauty?

 

"Beauty is when something or someone really being itself. It's about purity, it's about being honest with oneself, and I think everyone can be beautiful. It's just a matter of accepting oneself. " - Giles Rosier

On Journaling

Decluttering a room sometimes feels like finding the treasure that is already within :)  rather than longing and craving to have a new stuff at this tight economy moment, I found a lot of things that have a story with me and I think it would be fun to create something with it and make it more useful.

I found a fabrics, a cosmetic catalogue, pink feather, and a button on the box storage and the food paper too. This plain book is never been used for a long time, so I decided to use it as a Journal -- and I am interested in Art Journal .

I like collage and cutting interesting pictures and words from magazines or any interesting books, if I can't tear it up, I make a copy of the page or sometimes re-write it on the paper.

So, by reading the benefits of journaling for counteracts many of negative effects of stess, I would love to try this type of self-exploration tool.

I Am Open to All That is Good

DIY Geometric Leather

I have a favorite pale white sweater that suddenly haven't wear it for almost a year.

While de-clutter my room, I also found a scrap of leathers that I get from Gammara's workshop at the time I'm freelance as a stylist and illustrator and it's a genuine leather.

So, I decided to combine it with my sweater, I make a sketch of how it would be appear on the sweater, then I cutting the leather into a 10 small triangle shape using a shape ruler and 1 bigger size for the center of collar.

I make an abstract shape too, but I decided for create a simple look on the sweater, so I choose the picture 3.

I glued the shape on the sweater using fabric glue and then suddenly I have a 'new' sweater.

This is not really a DIY tutorial, I want to share my ideas on reuse things that I find interesting to create.

 

More to share later, hope you have a beautiful week !

Act of faith

“Every moment in life is an act of faith” 

freeing myself to live freely

 

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.” 

Kutipan ini sering saya tulis di buku gambar dan buku catatan kecil yang selalu saya bawa menemani saya.

kadang saya ingin tertawa kalau saya sedang terjebak di keadaaan yang saya buat sendiri di pikiran saya,saya menjebak diri saya di pemikiran saya sendiri .

kadang saya sering membuat situasi di pikiran yang saya pikir sudah berlebihan,saya sering merasa saat saya mengatakan tidak saya menyakiti perasaan orang,dan saat saya tidak memenuhi permintaan seseorang saya akan membuat orang tersebut berpikir aneh-aneh tentang saya dan saat segala sesuatu tidak berjalan dengan seharusnya yang berada di pikiran saya,saya mulai membuat asumsi aneh yang menjebak saya sendiri.

dan sekarang saya tidak ingin ini terus menggangu saya,saya pikir ga ada yang salah dengan apa yang saya lakukan selama saya melakukan yang terbaik yang saya bisa,dan sisanya biarkan semua mengalir.

kadang saya pikir tidak ada yang salah untuk menjalani kehidupan saya seperti tidak ada orang yang melihat saya,menjalaninya terlepas dari ekspektasi orang terhadap saya,menjalani kehidupan dengan polos,dalam perasaan puas dengan diri saya sekarang dan ingin seperti apa saya kedepannya,saya tidak mau terjebak dengan keadaan lampau karena saya tidak akan berjalan ke arah sana,semua terus berjalan ke depan dan dimulai dari langkah disini.

saya teringat tulisan 'until today' dari wanita inspiratif yang saya tulis di buku gambar saya,

"Until today, you may have been living your life under the impression that your every move is being watched. You may have felt like there are certain things you could not and should not do. Just for today, allow yourself the childlike freedom of talking to yourself, dreaming for yourself, dancing with yourself and living your life like nobody else in the world cares or is watching what you are doing."
