Artsy Summertime in July

The sultry and humid weather makes me almost pooped out. But I pull myself up together not to be dragged by a negative emotional state. I always remind me of good phrases that help me flow in the lake like a swan in my mind.

“Rejoice always; give thanks to all circumstances.” - from the bible

“Happiness depends on what you think.” - from unknown

My happiness stays in organized life and a mental attitude pursuing simplicity and creativity. My disposition is not to waste my energy on useless things such as grudges, hatred, obsession, revenge, or sticking to negative moments of the past. Although I have those moments, soon, I emerge from those negative things that can consume my spirit. Luckily, I have a pure side that boosts my energy; and my organized lifestyle is helpful for me to move on with a bright mindset.

Here are the art and craft I would like to share for this month; a lovely handmade doll in a frame, designs of washi tapes and black and white tote bags, and digital art.

Handmade Craft: A lovely doll in a colored frame

I made a lovely doll in a colored frame I painted. Sometimes, I get stressed out or emotional depending on life situations. But I manage to get my life back on track soon because I have a girl holding a heart balloon, trying to jump on the cloud in my mind. A doll represents what resides in my pure side, although it might seem like a childish heart.

Design: Cute washi tapes (masking tape)

I designed cute washi tapes (size of width - 1.5cm / 1.2cm). I use washi tapes to mark a special day in a diary, decorate notebooks, or make paper organizer stuff. In addition, a purple owl sticker I designed.

Emoticon: a character from one of the washi tapes

I designed an emoticon character last year, "Malang (soft) Soonie" I adopted this character for the washi tape because I adore this character.

Design: Two kinds of tote bag designs

I designed tote bags to carry, especially to match black and white clothes.

Mind Journal with Winter Sentiment

It is already December. I wish the pure side of the mind blooms with the hope of being ready to start a new chapter of life. This winter seems colder than ever because the pure joy of winter sentiment is interrupted by my anxiety about the Korean situation. The democratic system of Korea has become paralyzed under the corrupt regime. I would stand up for justice with sincere Korean citizens to make things right. However, I strive to maintain my composure and hold onto the winter sentiment lingering in my mind. Apart from the anxiety in my mind, I reflected on the pure side through writing a novel, painting, and doing crafts. If I didn't have my artistic sensibility, I might have succumbed to anxiety over the situation happening in Korea. Acrylic Abstract Painting – “Homey Place” Although it may not have a specific form, colors gradually fill my mind, allowing me to envision a tranquil place. My homey place has flowers, trees, a blue lake, and a red roof. Imagining such a hom...

Summer Feeling in Art & Fashion Craft

It’s such a sultry and humid summer. The news often reports on disasters caused by global warming in different parts of the world. It makes me wonder whether AI will be able to help humans predict and prevent such catastrophes in the near future. Humanity must find solutions to address climate change, otherwise, things will only get worse. Meanwhile, serious corruption scandals and conspiracies involving the former Korean president and his wife are coming to light through a special investigation. The supporters of the former president and the current conservative party are mostly high-value tax evaders, corrupt business-people, or, most strikingly, religious followers brainwashed by cult leaders. I was shocked to realize how deeply cult members have infiltrated different parts of society, manipulating people's minds. Despite being in prison, the former president, Yoon is reportedly still receiving various secret privileges. Fortunately, the current president, Lee is doing a good ...

Colorful Autumn Flow in mind with Visual Art

I expected colorful autumn to dye my days with what it brought in the season. In reality, I felt as if I was drifting away. In my unconscious part, curiosity, inspiration, and motivation came along with me and seemed to whisper, 'We are with you.' This autumn might not have come to me as it was supposed to because so many vulnerable citizens got brutally killed amid war in other countries. War, war, war in various shapes of wars throughout the world! Some countries celebrate to accelerate their sales of arms. Ghosts seem to wander around to haunt malicious people before Halloween in this sudden chilly weather. I needed to uplift myself with vivid colors, so I expressed my sentiment in colors with the theme of autumn in my four kinds of visual art. (with wall art settings) One-Eyed Cat Although a black cat is one-eyed, she has a peculiar sense. A cat may see different directions and be a little stranger and lonely in the frame of cats where she lives. But her pure heart boosts ...
