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.

Goodbye With Emotional Feeling in Winter

It is already the end of the year. I was supposed to design the memo papers for the new resolution and gratitude & regret. But this month came to me with mixed emotions and swirled my mind. But I overcame it. And I am ready to embrace the new year with a fresh mind as usual. I want to share two illustrations to express my sentiment for this month. People would expect the festival mood around this time, but it is what I came across for this month. Happy New Year! 11월 30일에 있었던 실험프로젝트에 대해서 아시는 기자님들 포함한 참가자들이 참고 하실 수 있도록 실험에 관련된 제 글을 링크했습니다. PDF 파일이고 어떻게 파일을 열 수 있는지는 외국인 여성분이 이미 가르쳐주셨을 거라고 봅니다. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YKlXXJe87NsRn1NO-59Zm5BkMg7Pv9R4/view?usp=sharing

Sentiments in Late Autumn on Art, Craft, Photos

It is time to send away my lingering autumn sentiment at the entrance of the winter path. Before I jump into the sentiment in the winter mood, I leave my trace of autumn sentiment on my art, craft, and photos.  ‘Sunset’ - acrylics, conceptual art I expressed sunset in this art as this year is subsiding into the river of the memory. The streaks of light of the sunset leave their last reflection in the river. I look back on myself and listen to a voice from a tranquil flow, spreading in the wave of the river in my mind. I try purging and reorganizing my mind and spirit, expecting another sunrise next year as if I reassemble the puzzles. ‘My Planet’- a crylics, abstract, conceptual,  textured art The inner mind has a shiny rocky mountain, a river, and the universe with planets. The golden mountain, a river, and the universe unify and radiate energy. This harmony helps control the strength of the metal world, protecting it from the spoiled part of the world.

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...
