I saw the CNN news report on June.19 that Scientists disclosed the climate index. Global temperature has risen to the highest level. Consequently, the size of the Antarctic ice has reduced to the lowest in history. Countries confront abnormal weather conditions and catastrophes all over. On top of all, I am worried as one of the Korean citizens about discharging contaminated water from Fukushima, Japan. Contaminated water will harm marine life, and I am afraid to eat seafood. Hmm..., Just sigh. Trying to put these concerns behind me for a moment, I would consider how to spend July and August efficiently since I am so sensitive to the sultry summer. One of my projects this sultry summer is composing a novel of a different genre and subject from my previous works. Although the concept, outlines, and synopsis is already in my mind, making a detailed storyline, appropriate choices of words, and smooth paragraphs takes time. The voice in my mind keeps pushing me to do it continuously and ov...

When I was young, I couldn’t understand why adult people said that May was a queen of seasons. May was just May when I was in childhood. My sensibility response has developed as I have become older. The scent of May knocks on my heart and inspires me in colors. Flowers are blooming with vivid colors of their own. Leaves on trees radiate deep green shades in abundance. Even faded plants have healthy colors and bear brilliant flowers. The best month for re-potting plants is the month of May. The weather is the most enjoyable. My attitude is gentle toward the nature of life I observe. I try capturing colors and scents the season brings. And I see how the best season inspires me. Here are my illustrations, tote bag design, expression in verses for May, and photos of wild flowers I took in May. Teatime Teatime after lunch is a valuable time to soothe my nerves. I rearrange my thoughts, plans, and motivations in me-time with green tea. The delicate fragrance of green tea makes me contemplate...

April was the month for cherry blossoms. I anticipated seeing cherry blossoms were able to survive a long time this month. Unfortunately, cherry blossoms were gone so fast, even before enjoying the beautiful days of cherry blossoms. Mr. Rain took their beauty without hesitation. I felt vain on a rainy day because wet petals fell from trees all over. I think hot and humid summer will be coming sooner than before. I pulled out French embroidery materials after a long time. I embroidered cherry blossoms on a piece of fabric. I am a person to express my sentiment in various ways. However, I have a white, little puppy. Whenever I looked at my adorable puppy, a little puppy gazed at me as if to tell me, “Be happy because I am with you.” I answered him, “Happiness is right here with us.” I want to share two illustrations and composing verses, and photos of my lovely puppy. French Embroidery "A girl holding a white puppy in the day of cherry blossoms."  I composed some verses for che...

A feeling of the new year comes to me like a fresh breeze, although January is still pale and freezing. The process of making plans and resolutions motivates me. And sheer hope and passion sprout from fresh motivation. I try to paint rainbow colors on the new canvas in my mind. Sometimes, I take a walk outside to absorb enough sun and play hide-and-seek to find colors from what I see and feel in the new year. It is a pleasure to see pigeons searching for food, tiny buds in melting frost on my way. I even get inspired by the vitality of trees to survive. I would keep going on with some ingredients not to make my life mundane. My ingredients are hope, passion, and pure imagination. These ingredients purge my mind and help me express my positive side through art, craft, and writing a novel in Korean (native). Feeling fresh air from sheer projects like art and craft soothes an exhausted mind.  I also have a negative echo in my mind from the world. But I control myself not to fall into ...
