Sakura

Who says you have to be in Japan to see sakuras bloom?


Saw these really love cherry blossoms when I first arrived in LA. I was very fortunate to see them, though. They withered the week after I captured them on film.... 


We were taking a walk behind our new apartment and these lovely sakuras lined the sidewalk. I couldn't resist but stop and take pictures of them and I'm glad I did.

We're in LA now :)

Angelicquirk has moved its' base to Los Angeles, California :) We will be establishing our business here and expanding here from now on. 

We're still on 'break' for now but will be resuming our artwork and production really soon :) I will be concentrating on my illustrations for now and bookbinding in the very, very near future. 

We visited Hollywood... weather was so hot! and the wind too strong and cold!

Went to Warner Bros :)

Visited the set of F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Us at Central Perk

Daffy and me

my good pal, Bugs :)

We have settled on where we want to stay and that is a big sigh of relief... so, we can now take a breather and visit sights here before the Hubby starts work. Will be updating on our move here :) It's a big move, a huge challenge but we believe God will bring us through this.

Onward, forward to our Adventure in LA!

Hedgehogs

I didn't go all out to make Valentine cards this year but I still received a couple of custom orders which was fun :)

Made this cute hedgehog card, painted in with watercolour and I absolutely adore it.

I hope the recipient loves it too :)

A Journal for Emily

Recently, I received an email from a really nice customer enquiring if I am able to make a scrapbook/journal for his girlfriend who flies around the world. After a couple of emails are bounced between us, I started working on the project :)


He wanted to surprise his girlfriend, Emily, at the airport about a week from the time he emailed me and so we had a tight deadline :)

The cover has been mod-podged, sealed and varnished (3 layers of varnish) and I added nickel corners to protect the sides of the journal too.

The inside pages... they actually fold out so he has more place to put photos, ticket stubs and what nots when they travel together :)

There are 10 cities around the world that Emily travels frequently to and he wanted me to illustrate significant landmarks/things associated to those places... 

Can you recognize them?

It is and was a fun project!!! I love how they are going to make use of this journal to scrap their memories together.. how awesome is that? and the BF, my client, said he will update me on their pages when he can :)

How sweet of him, right? I hope Emily is happily surprised by his thoughtfulness and they are having a great time now :)
