Charming Handicraft with Retro Sentiment

The weather is almost coming at the end of summer. I am already knocking on the door of Autumn and preparing for a colorful festival in my mind. My anticipation for the new season made me indulge in charming crafts such as crochet slippers, hair bows, felt baskets, rattan trays, and fabric key-rings ahead of Autumn. The handmade process with retro sentiment brings tranquil and meditative moments to digital life. Whatever I put my effort into with sheer passion would be valuable for me, as if people would look for luxury brand stuff to satisfy themselves. 


Illustration - "A Girl on The Moon"

I illustrated a girl in a tranquil moment on the moon with a trustworthy companion. A girl is growing a star tree with a sincere heart. Her space fills in colors and twinkling stars in peace.

Fabric Key-rings (charm) - Ballerina Torso and Butterfly

A ballerina and a butterfly represent passion with pure heart. I often come across a theme of a ballerina and a butterfly. This time, I made a key ring and a charm made of fabric.

Felt Storage Baskets

I made storage baskets with felt fabric. Felt baskets have a warm texture in vivid colors.

Crochet Slippers

I always wear slippers at home. So, I made crochet sippers with thick purple yarn for the Autumn and Winter. Crochet slippers are durable and give me a comfy feeling. It will warm my feet during the chilly season. Frankly, it is so good for me to wear. (I referred to the crochet tutorial on the YouTube channel.) 

In the photo below, the cushion printed with my artwork, a handmade bag and a fabric flower basket I made, and a sample book-'storytime' I wrote & illustrated & designed.

Hair-bows and Accessories

I made hair-bows to wear in the chilly season since I have long hair. In the photo below, I displayed some silver earrings and necklaces, gemstone earrings, and a black pearl necklace I designed and made. Ironically, I don't enjoy wearing jewelry except earrings. So, I stopped jewelry making.

Rattan Trays

For the first time, I made trays with rattan wicks. I enjoyed working on the rattan weaving. Rattan gives a warm and retro feeling to it. I have plans to make a storage bowl and an Italy basket. (I referred to the rattan tutorial on the YouTube channel.)

Korean Thanksgiving is coming soon. I will cook hard to make several traditional dishes. "enjoy moments of days!"

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...
