Digital Ink 1
I didn't think of actually doing ink style in digital. There's billions of people doing this but I was too caught up on inking must be done with natural medium!
So here is my first attempt with ink style in digital of how I do in my sketchbook.
Purple Girl 2
It came across my mind that I felt like drawing her again.
Another art that I started last year and never finished it. I was actually 90% done but never when went back since then.

Mirabel
I have some drawing I did from last year that I didn't bother to finish cuz I got lazy or moment has passed to complete it.
And it was just last year that I watched Encanto and wanted to do fanart of it. I got up to her face and torso done but I wasn't happy with the composition so I cropped it out and kept the area I was happy with(Which is usually just a face).
I enjoyed Mirabel character how crafty she was with her additional embroidery art she sewed on her clothes. There was so much detail on her skirt that you just don't have time to observe while watching the movie.

My New Phone
Yes, I still use flip phone!
All my social media are done on desktop or home tablet.
Couple of days ago my old phone was acting up weird where it's not catching reception and the battery was not charging properly anymore. I noticed I had it since 2014 so I thought it's time to switch it up.
And as usual, I like to decorate so I made crochet phone case and coil wrapped my charging cord!
My last phone(left: ZTE) was $89 and they still make something similar to it for same price but I upgraded a little to go for $112(peeking on the right: TCLFlip).
For crochet case, I went free style to try out new stitches that I never done before.
Any Pinterest lovers, I have my board here where I tried new stitches.

Darning Socks
And socks are one of them. I have few socks that I got from Japan back in high school and til this day, I still wear them. Yes, there are few holes here and there but I still keep wearing them. It's hard to throw away something that's still functional when they're just small holes that shouldn't really bother you that much.
This is one of my examples of socks that I look forward to see how long it will last.
Like many enthusiast darners, I love to save scraps of embroidery threads, yarns, sewing thread to find re-purpose. It is an activity to do while you're watching TV or listening to something where you forget time.

Baby Whale Gift Wraps
Made gift tags for favors and designed this little blue baby whale that Mom-to-be's favorite.
Congrats to the couple!
It's been a while too to decorate gift wraps that I used to do. I like using craft paper and hand draw something with Sharpies and markers.

Happy Lunar New Year
Yorkdale has beautiful year of Dragon celebration happening there!
Location is where Nordstrom used to be beside Canada Goose. The dragon is so big that it's very hard to miss! There is a walkway to walk under Dragon's arch when you walk behind him. You can really details they put into this sculpture.
