10 Days of Heartaches

I joined DyosaImma and Fozzy's 10 Days of Heartaches calligraphy challenge on Instagram and I just want to share my works here, too.

I had a hard time with the very first one because it was a while since I last did calligraphy. One thing I learned from this challenge is that practice really does make perfect. Well, in my case, it's not perfect but I can see the improvements. So, I've decided to practice calligraphy frequently if not everyday. I should at least do the drills, right? Also, I've learned that calligraphy need not be expensive. See, mI don't want to buy expensive inks or paints unless I'm doing this professionally. I just buy Indian ink for black and watercolor and poster paint for colors, including metallic ones like gold and silver, and white.

Here are my works with their corresponding song titles and links to YT videos (so you can listen to them). Click photos to view full size.

SS501 Week

This week is also SS501 week. Why? First is because it's Kim Hyun Joong's 28tth (29th - Korean age) birthday last Friday, June 6. As a gift (although I won't be giving it to him :P), I made use of what I learned at a workshop a few weeks ago and painted him a watercolor version of U:ZOOSIN, his official character. ^^

He's a charming little alien, isn't he?

Next reason why it's a SS501 kind of week is because my boys (SS501) are celebrating their 9th anniversary today! Yay! Well, they're not together as a group right now but soon. ^^ To show them how much I love them... this...

This was when I was in Lobo a few weeks ago. (Look at those angry veins on my feet. Haha!) I did this and a couple more. (I'll post those with some of my other Lobo photos in the next few days.)

I celebrated by watching SS501 videos and listening to their songs all day. That includes their mushy videos which made me cry again, of course. I miss my boys terribly!!! ㅠㅠ

Happy 501 Day!

Aside from being a crafter, I'm also a fangirl. And yes, it's May 1st... 5/01... 501 day! This day is very special for Triple S (SS501 fans) for the obvious reason and to celebrate, my SS501 collection had a photoshoot and I posted it on Facebook. Well, I'm doing a general cleaning of my room and I took everything out of the cabinet to clean them, so, might as well take a picture, right? I'm not bragging about my collection but I'm really to be a Triple S. Anyway, here's a peek at one of the items (photo link to the album on Facebook)...

I haven't included the other items, yet, like calendars, magazines, trinkets, etc. Will do so sometime soon and will post about it here, of course. That includes gifties from friends.

I still have a lot missing from my collection and my dream is to complete it or be as close to complete as it can get. If you want to add to my collection, you can check my SS501 wishlist on Pinterest to see which items I don't have, yet. Of course, I'll be very happy to receive anything SS501 related or anything green.
