Quote Painting As Decoration – Be High In Creativity

I was feeling of painting something today and the quote “Be High In Creativity” has been on my mind for a while. The phrase came in mind with a view of pine trees by the coastal area. I painted it in watercolor and the quote painting can be used as a decoration for your home office with a beach home theme.

Why did I choose the pine tree to describe my quote? Because it can grow from 3 to 80 m (10–260 ft) tall, with the majority of species are mostly reaching 15–45 m (50–150 ft) tall. Pines are usually long lived kind of tree and typically reach ages of 100–1,000 years, some even more. Pine trees are evergreen which means it still have leaves throughout the year, therefor the tree would look green in any season. You would probably ask, why a pine tree grow on coastal area? Well, there is one type of pine that usually grow on coastal area and that is Pinus contorta, which commonly known as lodgepole pine and shore pine, or sometimes known as twisted pine. Contorta pine is a common tree in western North America. It grows near the ocean shore and also in dry mountain forests, but the tree is rare in lowland rain forests.

So for those who love to paint, take your brush and start to paint something beautiful to decorate your home. And for those who love to create something, hope you get inspired to be high in your creativity! Happy creative day and “be high in creativity”!

DIY Artwork – Truck Drawing for Kid’s Room

Hello everyone! Finally I finished my whole drawings of VW 1967 Bug Truck in red color. On my previous post (Truck Sketches for Kid’s Playroom), I have done 2 smaller drawings, which were front view and side view of the VW bug truck. For completing the artwork for my kid’s room, I drew the bigger view of the red truck plus the artsy wording of the truck’s name.

I haven’t decide it yet on where to hang the artwork of the truck drawing. So, I just put it in the table on my kid’s room. I used a white simple frame; well, actually that’s the only available frame I have that fits the size of the truck drawing. And I don’t have the bigger frame either.

I sketched it with pencil then I colored it with watercolor pencils. I don’t use too many colors, mostly red, blue and black. I want the VW ’67 Bug Truck to be the spotlight of the drawing, that is why I have them in red.

My husband loves it, my son said “it’s beautiful, mommy!” , so it’s more than enough to me, it is well paid-off after spending times coloring the truck drawings. And I love to see it in my kid’s room. It’s screams for Boys!

Well, I hope you all enjoy my artwork of VW 1967 bug truck for kid’s room. Or even more, got inspired! It can also a great artwork for Father’s Day gift which has passed.

See you!

Decor Your Home with Greens

Have you ever run out of fresh-cut flowers in your home while you’re expecting sudden guest? Or do you bored with flowers on the vase as a decor on your table? Or you just simply wanna cut your expense budget and save some? Well, maybe my ideas can answers all those questions.

Have you ever noticed that some greens look not just appetizing but also so beautiful. I always admires some greens for its beauty before I cut them into a bowl of salad. Some even look like a blooming flower. So, I tried to put some greens into a vase and it turned out to be a beautiful piece of table decoration.

How to do it? Just grab some of your greens from your fridge or buy some in the market and use it for a home decoration. get your fancy vases and arrange the greens nicely then you got yourself a centerpiece. Isn’t it convinient?After that you still can cut them and make it into a bowl of yummy salad. Free and pretty! Besides, you give more meaning to the greens, so it wouldn’t be used only for plating decoration or veggies to eat but also as home decoration.

On the picture showed, I used different kind of salanova lettuce, I love its blooming look. And since salanova is a short blooming greens, I use short vases with big opening to accommodate its big bloom. There are more greens you can use though, just be creative.

I hope this idea can flourish your home with beauiful spring blooms but free and easy.

Be creatively Green!

See you again!

DIY Re-Purposing Tissue Cores Into 6 Matches Stylish Party Decorations (Final) – Seating Tag and Napkin Ring

DIY Re-Purposing Tissue Cores Into 6 Matches Stylish Party Decorations (Final) – Seating Tag and Napkin Ring

This is the final post of DIY re-purposing tissue cores into another 6 matches stylish party decorations. After 2 earlier posts, first was the Souvenir Box and Flower Vase, the second one was Paper Tissue and Straw Holder; now the final two matches stylish party decorations are:

Seating Tag

For the seating tag, I used paper doily for the name writings media and I cut the tissue core about 45 degree in half. For these two decorations, you need some cutting, so prepare yourself with cutter.

2. Napkin Ring

Average toilet tissue core can be divided into 3 napkin rings, so cut the cores into 3 even sections. Then decor it wisely, since it is such a small item but you still need it to accentuate your napkin, especially on a white plain napkin.

Again, all I need for this project are only:

1. tissue cores (any sizes will do)

I used 2 types of tissue cores, the one from toilet roll tissue and kitchen towel.

2. paper wrapped (choose the one that will be your color theme and or pattern theme)

I used greenish-yellow and green stripe which I think it’s very simple but speaks a lot.

3. ribbons (choose color that matches the paper wrap but not exactly the same color)

I used light yellow to matched.

4. ribbon flower ornaments ( you can get more color on this but still have to compliment your theme color.

I used pink rose (as an accent) with green leaves (to match the color theme) ribbon ornament.

5. laces

I used small white laces to have it looked more chic.

6. paper doily

Great media for writings and decoration.

For this project you need cutter besides scissors, glue and drawing pen to execute it.

The green and yellow with pink accent is definitely spread the spring colors into the whole party. If you don’t use too many different ornament and decorations, maybe only 5 or 6 items you will stick to the matching theme for the whole party decorations you’ve made.

So all the 6 matches stylish party decorations from tissue cores are

Souvenir Box
Flower Vase
Napkin Tissue Holder
Straw Holder
Seating Tag
Napkin Ring

Well, don’t you find it easy and cheap to accomplish the 6 matches stylish party decorations from tissue cores? Indeed! And green too! So, instead of throwing your tissue cores to the trash bin, let’s try my project with your own personal style. I’m sure your guests will be pleased to be welcome with all handmade personal party decorations, they would think that you put lots of efforts to it, even though it doesn’t cost you that much money and trouble, just creativity!

Note: I just found out about this amazing site, Country View Challenge, where the April’s challenge happens to be “Pimp it up! (reuse or alter something)”. So I hope my post here still eligible for the challenge.

I also entered another challenge : Love To Craft Challenge – May Anything Goes & Allsorts Challenge Blog.
