The Process and Thanks

firstly, omgggg thanks everyone for the insane amount of support for my first commercial artwork!!!

i had initially printed 40 cards, thinking "well, at most i will stuff them into random mailboxes if they dont sell!"

but the same night it was all sold out and i had to go reprint them!

you guys have no idea how significant that felt to me.

to someone who has always been extremely unsatisfied and insecure with her artwork, this overwhelming support has been extremely stunning. i feel like crying. hahaha. but im a cold-hearted bitch, so no tears.

im however, really really grateful to all you guys for the love and support!

especially to Mr. Brother, who is a super supportive sibling. good job and Evil Brother Bank credits++ for convincing me to try selling my artwork, offering ideas and being sales person #1.

thanks for being so encouraging Mr. Brother & TP!

prototypes on my wall.

cutting the A3 pieces into A6! thankfully, my dad hoards tools. we have a paper cutter, laminating machine, soldering irons, woodcutting tools and almost every other shit at home. which is great, truly, cause i get to do all these shenanigans.

stamping the envelopes by hand from my handcrafted stamp!

drawing on the trunk and stars.

glitterfying and waiting for them to dry.

i will be making more random collections of my artwork soon, hope you guys will dig those too!

thanks for the loveee.

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.
