Handmade Journals

I have started making journals again.... this time in 100% recycled, FSC certified paper. Well, also because I recently preferred creamy colored paper. 

I have posted pictures of the journals I made on my facebook page and am slowly listing them on my Etsy shop too. If you see any that you like and wish to purchase them before they are on Etsy, please do drop me a private message on my facebook page :)

Time for fun, again!

It's time to unleash your creativity and believe that with some guidance and perseverance, one can make something fun with their own hands! :)

It's going to be another fun session filled with laughter and glue on our hands... Learning new skills causes neurons to create new linkages to each other making our brains more active and delays aging of brain cells :)

Come, join me! Have fun! Email me at angelicquirk@gmail.com to register!!!

Little Girl on the Go

I've started drawing again lately. It's something I have not done for quite a long while. I still remember vividly when I used to draw... that was back when I was in secondary school... When the teacher is teaching, when I'm back home.. practically anytime spare time would be spent drawing, reading or watching tv! :P

I thank my hubby, of course, for his encouragements... always supporting me in my arts and crafting endeavours. I thank Rekha for encouraging me to get my illustrations printed into postcards and notebook covers and sharing new ideas with me :)

My postcards :) 6 of my illustrations... I illustrated the back cover as well....

I only printed 3 of the illustrations as book covers... wanted to see how the response will be like :)

I'm going to run a contest soon... Name the little girl and boy! Though, I think the little girl will make more appearances than the boy :P

Coptic Stitching

Just like how the Copts did wayyyyyyy back in the 2AD. They did not have this cute matryoshka fabric back then... hehehe... so, lucky me! :P

I really like the little chain motif that coptic binding has on the spine of the book. It's pretty and hey, this one allows the book to lie flat too! I used to love buying journals and notebooks but now, I make them! erm, I still am very tempted to buy journals, though... I love pretty stationaries! Can't help it! If I have a million bucks, I think a lot of it will go into stationaries, scrapbooking supplies and photography! :P

See the lovely matryoshka fabric? It's oh so pretty, right? Cute matryoshka dolls in a row... I think they really do stand out against the black background! and you can get this lovely fabric from Fabric Fanatics! :)

Most of my fabric for my journals are from Fabric Fanatics... she's really great and communicative so I definitely recommend you to get fabrics from her! :)

Notebooks...

This is what has been keeping me very, very busy and kept my fingers sore from cutting, tying and arranging... LOL... but I love them so! Here's sharing one of the notebooks I've made... I still have plenty that I have not photographed... will do that soon and share it here...

In the meantime... I'm off to make more... I feel like keeping them all to myself! hahahah :P cos yessshhh, I mentioned time and again.... I'm a stationary hoarder :P

Do you like them? They are available if you wanna bring them home :)
