DIY Photobooth :)

Another DIY weekend! Here's an idea, make your own photobooth! All you need is a blank wall, a tripod and a camera. We stuck paper cutouts of flowers and butterflies to our wall to dress it up a little. It was for our YWD Friendship General Meeting. And the props are great fun to make! Huge smileys, little headpieces, mustaches, speech bubbles, and whatnot. Add some text and a white border on photoshop and you'll never tell the pictures were all DIY :-)

Vintage

I've just been to Fossil's blog and looky what I've found. A ton of vintage and a whole lot more!

I especially liked this! Pretty timely. I was, well, still am -- in the process of making my own little sketch book. Will be posting about that later when I finish :-) 

Weekend Getaway

Spent the last weekend with my high school friends in the Island of Camiguin! I've been there twice before - same sights, same hotel, same activities, same waters, but I still had a blast! What can I say, nothing's better than being in the company of good old friends. Wouldn't it be nice if every weekend were like this? (sans the sunburn :p)

Butterflies

I just fell in love with this video. Another Ryan McGinley!

Something different and new.

I'm no photographer, and I doubt I'd be able to tell what a good photo is, but his work is really something. They have a surreal, almost ethereal quality to them. I thought some were a bit creepy, and sometimes disturbing, but altogether mesmerizing.  

Above are my favorites.

Charcoal, pencil, and ink :)

DIY (last) Sunday

Looky! I made my own purse! Lucky our very old Singer sewing machine still works, and the very old manual is still intact! It took me the whole Sunday afternoon. The lining gave me a hard time. i couldn't quite figure out how to lay it out so that the stitches don't show inside the bag. I had to make do. I wasn't able to sew the ends of the zippers neat enough. I actually forgot about those, but I was bound to make a few mistakes. I ended up with quite a headache. It's harder than it looks, I don't really sew. But I'm happy with the result. Even my mom thinks it's cool. I might just make another one. :-)
