[100421] Paper bag from a convenience store

Don't ask me why, but I just love those little paper bags the convenience stores give me.

I always save them. I don't know, maybe I like the material. Some sort of recycled papers are very interesting to me. I drew a Useless on one:D

This is going to be my snack bag as we go out on weekends. Hehehe

[100416] Latest Mini Canvas

I have been away from my blog for a while... Here are some latest mini canvas paintings:)

Left: Mr. Funny Pants

Right: Mr. Sunny Pants

Those two characters were created by Bella, my little artist friend, while we were in Alabama.

She is so creative and she inspires me a lot. Amazing. She told me that Mr. Funny Pants is so mean. (Hahaha!) Very cute.

This one is Dragomander. He is half dragon and half salamander. I also crocheted this, and Bella loved it:) Oh, it is so fun doing art with her:D

I bought some bigger canvases last month, and I hope to paint Bella. Can't wait to work on it!!

[100226] Stuffed Useless

I am glad that I nailed this one... I don't even remember exactly how I made it, but it doesn't look bad, does it? :D

▲ Useless chilling out on the shelf.

▼ Front look.

Making things like this is always fun and frustrating at the same time... a lot of struggles. I will be making Neko, Huhu, and another Useless next week and I hope they come out better:)

[100223] In the Car

We went to the UPS store again today, because I finally got the copies of my book this morning, put them in envelopes, ready for shipping!

On the way back, Useless and the little worm asked me for a snapshot. Above is with the vent. Obviously, this car needs to be cleaned!! :D

[100222] 20th Mini Canvas

I just finished painting the 20th mini canvas, which is also the last one I have. I might get some more, but before that, I will be working on figurines and stuffed Useless this week.

▲ Beautiful Bella.

▼ Mama Skippy and Chuck.

Here is a picture of the little section that I use as a gallery. Hahaha!

[100220] The Year of The Tiger

Yes, that is how Huhu (the tiger on the right in the picture below) was born. I didn't expect that he would become one of the major characters in the Useless world, but he really nailed it.

Next up will be... Chuck, and a beautiful girl, Bella:)

[100219] New Mini Canvas Magnets

I made a lot today! Well, Useless, Neko, and Titty are well known... Charlie from the Big Fellas, and Spud, I've been thinking of drawing them for a few weeks and I finally did. Yay!

I painted some more, but I can't show it here, just yet. It is traveling to Poland. Wahaha;)

[100218] Found Taro Growing

I found my taro potatoes started growing in the cabinet today... CUTE! Two out of four had baby leaves and I planted them in the pot outside. We will see how it goes.

▼ "How are you doing, babe?"

Later today, when I was about to cook dinner, I found one of my onions growing, too. He is too big to plant, so I am leaving him in the kitchen. Hahaha

I finished up the paper clay tonight. It feels so good not to have left overs!! :D

▼ Move, Useless! I'm trying to work!!
