Summer Project

I've been doodling these weird/cool/sharp/organic-looking shapes for a few years now. It started back when I was bored waiting for calls to come in when I was working at a call center. I just took a piece of paper and armed with a nice gel-inked pen I started doodling. Just whatever shapes my had could come up with.

I once turned them into bookmarks and gave them as Christmas gifts.

This summer comes what is probably the biggest challenge I could take with my doodling. I decided to cover a small table with it. Here's some pictures. I will do my best to finish this within a week from now... Wish me luck!

Paper Cranes 2

See? Told ya I'm hooked on paper cranes. And I actually made an even smaller one! Just about the size of a 1 Peso Coin. Look!

Origami figures really are much better looking (and more challenging to do) when their made smaller. I've learned Origami back when I was a kid and I can still pretty much do the figures I knew how to make back then. The "paper crane" unfortunately I learned quite later when I was preoccupied with other things and so I wasn't quite as able to absorb the steps on how to make them.

My friends thought me how to make them a few weeks ago and I've been drawn to making them ever since. They really are just so elegant and beautiful. I also like the fact that it's not all flat that there's actually a wide body between the wings. They're not so simple, yet their not quite complicated and advanced paper folding as well. Just about in between. I just love it.

I've probably made more than 10 of them. From scraps of paper in my room, to fast food receipts, and just about every other paper I could pick up when I feel like passing the time. I'm still urging myself to make a thousand paper cranes and get that magic wish :D

Try Again

Still here... trying out my wordpress blog once more :D Seems to be uploading pics pretty well now. Hmmm... Haven't been updating lately in any of my blogs. I actually made another blog after setting this up because I had some trouble uploading pics here, but now, seems everything is fine again. Anyhow...

The pics you see below are the newest photos I tweaked (or more like majorly overhauled) using Adobe Photoshop.

I used the pics I had from our Beracay trip with my family. "Beracay" because it was last DecemBER, and we went to Boracay. Hehe. I always find it weird when someone goes to the beach during BER months, I have a low resistance to really cold temperatures kasi eh. But when we were there, it was nice because hindi siya sing crowded compared to the summer season.

Here they are:



Just click on the thumbnail to view the whole pic. Enjoy. I'm looking for more pics to practice on, so if you like what you see, just hit me up and I'll try to do something nice to your pics din. Ciao for now :D
