handmade calendar

you can also use metal rings or ribbons to bind your calendar, just like making a mini album.

Coraling ( with a G) : a phonecard artdoll

this august, artzdescrap has come up with something you might be interested... creating stuffs out of playing cards or any cards.

for my take, i decided to create something out of used phonecards.

how about using COTTON for her hair?

and painting it with colors for that highlighted look?

the back portion of the doll.

inspired by Neil Gaiman's novel CORALINE, i modified this phonecard artdoll and named her

CORALING ( with a G)

same button eyes like Coraline's

i really don't do beautiful artdolls and of course they are not always playable to little girls!

a night of fun with cookie

last night we had so much fun chatting and a yummy dinner at Pepper Lunch to go with it. it was the "despedida" party for Cookie Aguilar, a very talented lady who will settle in Australia soon.

it was a small short chat night with her together with some GNO crews ( as what we call ourselves).

cabbie and cookie

nita, cookie, cabbie, sym, tin and au after the peppered rice dinner!
