Green house photos,

Hello there,
Sorry for the long wait, but here are some shots I took with my friend last week. Hope you enjoy and get inspired to go on more adventures, take more pictures, and maybe explore nature!
 
 
I also experimented with photo editing using picsart. It is super fun and has some features available in photoshop, only it's free! of course photohop has more features, but if you are unwilling to spend money for cool pictures, I highly recommend you download this app.
As you may have noticed, almost all of my pictures are of my friend @radfoxes (on instagram). And most of the time I am taking a picure of her taking a picture of me, so all of her pictures are of me taking pictures of her. This is what happens when you and your friend enjoying taking photos (:
 

PS, here's a very rare picture of me posing for a selfie... as you can see I am not skilled in the art of looking directly at cameras

Hope you all have a lovely week!

2 Quick Wall Decor DIYs

Hello friends and creative strangers!
Last week , I showed you guys the basics of my workspace and today I'll be showing you how I made the DIY wall art projects I promised a the end of that post.
These 2 wall décor ideas are extremely easy to recreate. Both can take less than ten minutes to create, or you can add on and make larger versions of each. Lets get started!
For the first DIY Wall Art project, all you really need is some tape and scissors.
 
-Here I used electric tape at first, but then ran out so I found some black duct tape that I cut to be the same width.
-A pencil for sketching is optional
 
 
Steps:
1. (Optional) go online, find some geometric design you want to recreate and sketch it out on your wall.
2. Start taping and cutting to create a complex geometric design, or create a picture, its your wall and your choice!
 
I just have some shots of the first few pieces of tape I laid out. For the rest, I just randomly created a geometric shape by starting and ending at different angles and different lengths. You are free to do whatever you want.
The best thing about this DIY, is that you can peel it right off your wall or make edits if you don't like the way it looks.
 
Now onto the second project:
Basically this is a huge collage board for inspirations or extra clippings you have from magazines. You can do anything as long as it makes you happy and you feel some sort of satisfaction with your end result.
 
Materials:
-magazines
-pictures
-quotes you like
-memorable tickets, or flat items
-a big frame or poster board
-glue
-scissors (they're your new best friend)
 
Steps:
1. grab a bunch of fun pics, and cut out your favorite pieces
2. glue it all down to a piece of poster board or a poster frame
3. display it
4.(optional, but highly encouraged) have a dance party by yourself, because congrats, you just made something cool
 


lets all pretend you didn't notice I reused this image

 
Hope you found some quick inspiration!
keep on crafting (and napping)

Welcome to the workspace

Hi guys!
 
Today’s post is a little different than my usual DIY projects. I'll be giving you guys a miniature tour of my workspace to share a little bit more about myself and what I do to get inspiration.
In the back of my mind I have always thought about posting a room or office tour. Finally I was inspired by WeWork –a coworking office –to create this post to show off my workspace.
First here is a picture of the ugly truth: making things means making messes. Just look at the desk clutter!
Afterwards, I cleaned my desk. Whenever I do this I like to keep things more minimal because I get distracted easily.
 
All my crafts supplies goes into this drawer or onto this drawer I should say. I put the things I use more frequently on top. ( I have a lot of notebooks  for some reason because I can't seem to stop myself from buying notebooks that are smaller than normal sized notebooks. )
After clearing my desk, I decided to make some changes and rearranged the room a bit. I turned my work corner into a reading/inspiration corner. (I just swapped my desk place with my chair) Behind my book stand are two unused canvases, perhaps they will become great masterpieces someday (:
Also these DIY wall art projects will be up in the following weeks and I will add links when the posts are uploaded. 
Hope you guys enjoyed this tiny journey around the workspace!
