My Collection: Fabrics

Art Bash Campor: 3

Went to another art exhibition yesterday afternoon, which held at Jesselton Hotel 3rd floor. 

Normally is easier to find photography exhibition here, but not art.

I like to go for art exhibition, to open my mind towards different kind of art, 

and to learn to watch the art deeply as the artist way to express their thoughts and feelings.
 

I love the camera which done by Aizat Ahmad, a fashion designer from SIA

loves the details.

Dhanee loves the owls....... heheh.... her type of art work 

There are more than 4 artists who work for this exhibition, 

but we only managed to listen one artist explaining us her art work. 

Met Deanna , I've followed her facebook since last year, or the year before, 

she is actively in Art, Design, Photography, and Fashion.... 

Most of the time is seeing her as a fashion model. =)

Basically her artwork are all about sadness yet covered by a very brightly colors, 

and each of them has their own story and meaning behind, that makes each of them unique.

When she is about to finish her explanation, I heard this: 

"The strongest thing to do is to admit your weakness."

=)

Good job for the explanation, keep it up for the good work, 

and stay strong on this path you have chosen.

My Collection: Wool Felt

Handmade: Heart-shape string card

Suddenly felt like making a card, so I took out a card paper, strings, and needle

Let's make a pretty card!

Actually the steps were quite easy, you could even understand trough the photos

心血来潮，拿出卡纸，线和针

来做个漂亮的卡片吧!

其实步骤还蛮简单，看图应该都能够明白

Draw a heart shape, because I can't draw a nice one, so decided to use that way to trace

画个心型图案，由于我画得不美，所以便用连线的方式来画

Use the needle to poke holes one the card after you done drawing,

each hole about 1cm (depends on yourself) 

画好后在线上用针扎洞，每个间隔大约1cm (距离自定)

Put on the strings and start, you could start from inside,

If you prefer a pop-out-looking heart, then I would suggest you to pull more strings on, 

the effect will turns out great.

扎好后就穿针线，从里面开始拉线，

如果你希望心型能够突出一点，那我建议你拉多几层的线，效果会很好

Cut off the strings, and that's all for the card!

Get your pen out, and write down some blessing quotes

剪掉线，卡片就这样完成啦！

拿出笔来，写下祝福语

=)

My happy card-making day

开心的卡片日

Stay Srtong

Wrap a little present

I'm just in a very happy mood today

wrapped a pretty present for a friend

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart

Community Arts Festival

Had a tour this afternoon at JKKN (Jabatan Kebudayaan and Kesenian Negara) together with 

my friend Dhanee, her brother Darren, my brother Amos and my cousin Eric.

There were a lot of beautiful visual art pieces display and sell at the same time

Not only that, there were some other performances such as dance and music

Some NGOs were there to raise funds and awareness too. 

After you step in the big entrance,

 you will definitely attracted by the music and dance at the dance floor right in the middle, 

how I wish I could step in and dance with them, hehehehehehehe

^.^

Anyway, I'll be more focus on the Visual Art

Meet Fay Ulrica, just found out that she was Dhanee's primary schoolmate.

A sweet lady, somehow I can't relate her and her art work together when I first met her, 

and found out she is the artist. Erm.....yea.....

She is a self-taught artist, and her art works are easy to be recognize, such a talented girl.

=) 

Accidentally found this area when Dhanee and I was touring around,

a small NGO installation about love and care about animals.

Well, not a very strong concept to moves me somehow, 

part of the reason because of the environment and the way they express I guess.

The dance floor was now became a music area when we passed by,

with the combination of violin and guitar, nice jazzy music to fill in with this lazy afternoon.

We stopped at a corner where a lot of people are doing their DIY beads necklaces and bracelets 

which set up by Magic Borneo Beads, pretty colors! 

Met Cracko too, hahahaha..... Had a warm greeting with him 

and he showed us the installation right in front of him.

WHAT?! 

INSTALLATION?!?!?!

We were totally confuse about this installation in the beginning, 

probably because we just walked toward  him excitingly without a glance at the description 

(and I don't even notice there is an installation on the floor. lols! so fail~)  

The concept of the installation came by Egn and Anddy (If I'm not mistaken), and we met Egn

Cracko make he explained to us about the installation concept, hehehe...
Down here is the description and instruction 

Went outside and saw this, so cool~~~~ 

My friend ever mentioned about this group from Ranau, Pangrok Sulap

and they produce woodcut and prints on t-shirts, books, posters, and more....

They said we could join them for their next workshop, cool huh?! heheheheh

I specially like the Trauma one, nice and inspiring work!!!

Cracko brought us to the corner table and let us play with this before we leave, 

"Close Your Eyes and Draw a Face Using Pen"

lols!!!!!

An idea came while they were boring sitting beside the installation

we laughed so long after looking at others' work

and is our time to draw......hahhahaha....

Almost faint after I opened my eyes......bahahahahahahah

XDXD 

good day, good trip, good people

Description

注解

The Nails represent the time of life in which a person holds. 

The strings represent their lifetime. 

The tension of which the strings pull show just how strong and yet how delicate every life can be. 

Every life is intermingled with other lives, 

making a entire world and lifetime and a beautiful mess.
