Death of Daisies

A Merry Christmas

IT IS DECEMBERRR!!!

ive been handmaking cards for a long while for my friends and this year ive decided to go digital! since it is digital, it is not as personalized as i like but seeing the design in print does have a nice sort of satisfaction.

there are 4 designs in a set.

each card is A6, on 235gsm paper.

the back of the card is empty and comes with hand-decorated brown envelopes.

you can opt to collect the cards from me when we meet or i can mail it to you!

postage within singapore costs $1(for 12 cards) so yea, not a bad option compared to meeting me for a lengthy dinner. hahaha.

Mr Original, simplicity at its best.

Mr Scarf is my favorite just cause of his fabulous red glitter scarf. hahaha.

with tangled glitter lights in his head.

carrying a mistletoe on his head = portable kissing station.

the cards are sold in multiples of 4 so you get one of each design. if for some reason you DETEST one of the designs, feel free to tell me so we can work something out. maybe you have a morbid fear of red carves idk.

do whatsapp or email me at mirukukeki@gmail.com if youre interested!

major love and thanks for supporting my art work! ♥

Your Bag's Story

im not sure if anyone is actually checking on my blog but no im not dead.

just...unmotivated in most sense. school is not going too well. just one module actually. sigh.

to deal with that demoralizing module, i started a new project:

http://yourbagcontents.tumblr.com/

so initially i was going to write a story and needed an illustration of a bag with its contents. while drawing the contents, i realized that it was actually more interesting than the story and you've no idea how much i went "omg wtf do i bring this to school everyday? i dont even use it." hahaha. so, what does your bag and its contents say about you?

or maybe you just want a sketchy doodle of them for reasons idk but i would still love to doodle.

a semi-doodle with sketchy painting. so i bring my organizer, minimal stationary, phone, makeup, shades and perfume to school daily. then keys and cardholder and chargers too but it was getting too cluttered in the doodle. sadly, that is not my wallet but i do want that if i ever start using wallets.

different representation without color! i dont know why i feel the need to bring 2 lipsticks but i do. one in coral and one in pink because you just wont know when you need them do you? who knows, maybe your outfit changes midday or something. hahaha.

Shapes and Notes

tumblr is a great source of inspiration. the kind of stuff you see on it. heh. i follow a few art blogs and amongst them i like eatsleepdraw and helpyoudraw most. eatsleepdraw has great varied collection of art from everyone, all of different styles whereas helpyoudraw is a gold mine of tutorials and references! do follow them if you need a kick in the inspo.

inspired by a fashion image i came across on my dashboard.

my first coursepack! all sticky tabbed and ready to be awwed at. serves absolutely no other purposes.

Daily Musings

been forcing myself to document stuff. i dont know why im compelled to do it but i do. it is a mini art journal of sorts. did one for my time in california which i may or may not upload.

also, handmade macaroons from my cousin!

was secretly anticipating baked goodies from my neighbors this hari raya. but nope. sigh. (ﾉ￣д￣)ﾉ the cake baked by the granny was awesome yummy.

i had a really strange dream that day. where i had a friend (stranger irl, no idea who that is at all, but in the dream i knew we were friends) and day by day she turned into a wooden puppet. like a reverse pinnochio.

it got so bad that i would have to carry her around. in the same time as she was digressing, people who were our friends started forgetting about her, denying her existence. saying things like, "who? no, there was never such a person." and she started being erased from old photographs and such. but i was insistent that she existed and I KNEW. i could still see her. one day she finally disappeared and i could not find her. everyone's life just continued on unaffected.

i woke up so damn depressed. if what i thought was real, which everyone else denies, does it matter? if it was indeed a figment of my imagination or if it was reality. or does it matter only that it felt real. fml. these dreams always screw up my brain for a week.

been falling sick really frequently too. sigh.

blamed the lack of inspiration for the lack of drawing but its just an excuse.

Fathers' Day card

i wont be home this Fathers' Day so i made a simple card in advance to fill in and post it back home.

my dad likes to say stuff such as "WHAT THE TOOT" instead of actual swearing when we were kids and i guess it just carried on now. though he does swear more openly these days in english and not hokkien which he thinks the kids, ie. us do not understand. though we did. i mean, who didnt right. especially swear words.

to use, download this image in it's original size and print on A4 card. the size of the card is actually A5 so that when printed, cut it out from the A4 card. fold it in half and it results in an A6 card.

Simple Christmas Cards DIY

IT'S DECEMBERRR. which means CHRISTMAS. yes yes. i'm one of those who celebrate christmas as a purely commercial festivity. an excuse to get all my supplies together to make cards for people i care about. sort of a mushy card to thank them for them being them. so if you get a mushy card and get goosebumps reading them, too bad. HAHAHA. (●￣(ｴ)￣●)/

scissors, glue and paper is all you need! kinda.

i've had this zigzag scissors since primary school. still working super well!

cut various stripes of zigzag and straight lines.

glue them all onto a different colored sheet.

hole punch some red paper for baubles.

cut the tree out!

i used glitter polish for this cause i ran out of craft glitter. not too bad since the shimmers are smaller.

there were other variations of colors but i thought green+red was the most festive! the rest looked like christmas on LSD though so i scrapped them. hahaha.

ah. my new hello kitty nails + pink + glitter. i kind of feel this saccharine overdose everytime i look at it. but not enough to regret. hahaha.

Two years back

nehbur's moustache poster leftovers.

found this weird quote and i wrote stuff around which was uhm...deleted. hahaha.

i remember how mind-blown i was when i found out narwhals were real and not mythical.

last drawing of the book.

some old drawings from my journal. i think they were from 2 years back? blanked out most of the words cause some were quite morbid/depressing. hahaha. was about to read through it but it was too cringe-worthy so i decided to just grab the drawings and leave the reading for another day.

having 4 papers back to back in 2 days was not the smartest thing i've done. during the 4th i just finished it in an hour and left cause i was on the brink of fainting. gosh. once i got home i bathed and concussed immediately. now i've a really bad headache. ugh. wonder if it's the caffeine withdrawal.
