travelogue
around the world collection by k & company wasn't expected. at first i thought it's a beach theme collection. i wanted to do a small luggage album. loving the full release, i needed a bigger room to fit everything.

fun world carousel
the moment i saw funhouse collection from g.c.d. studios, one certainty came to mind: a circular tent carousel album...finally.
as it turns out, hiding a 3 inch spine was effortless.
grace of msi asked if i would do a class for surabaya and agreed to bring in funhouse as one of the projects, might as well.
enjoy the show....
i had to borrow moira's pictures for the class sample album. my version has a more ambitious title; the greatest show on earth. it's photoless completed. sitting nicely waiting for me to scan old pictures from 8 different albums piling on my study floor.
jakarta ladies again

life in toronto
when i bought the whole set of webster's pages wonderfall collection with a friend last year, i told her we were going to do a 6" x 12" album. i was sure then that i was going to do a four seasons theme books. time passed...the stash wasn't forgotten, just put aside.
a few weeks ago, i saw my lovely niece's photo album on facebook. she called it life in toronto. immediately, i snatched a few pictures from the album and sent for my wonderfall stash. i knew what i wanted to do that night; the big bang theory season 3 and life in toronto.
the sign board is still missing a couple of elements, still on their way. the roof—the medusa roof—is rather overdone for my liking, but what's done is done.
tara is coming home next week for a short summer break and i was going to surprised her with the gift. i ended up telling her about this when i asked her for the better quality images. last week i saw she made a scrap page version of life in toronto.
yeeees...it's a gazebo explotion box!
i figured that the inside wall should be able to stand alone.
in the beginning i placed a standing easel with a canvas in the middle. beautiful; but has nothing to do with tara. then i thought of a piano; nothing to do with her life in toronto. i ordered a gazebo with a switchable lamp post from ebay; a tad too bulky.
i finally settled with the fountain of happiness...ha!
i'll keep it dear to my heart until her safe return.

classes on the go
i was asking myself, how many cities are here in indonesia. no clue! must be a lot. reminiscence from primary school geography blind memorizing, indonesia has 13,677 islands. a quick googling says today's numbering between 17,480 to 17,508. only about 500 cities are listed. hmmm.... anyone? i'll send a generous gift for a more or less accurate number.
what a shame that i can count with barely 2 hands of the cities i've been around the country. oddly, i've been to more islands around than cities around the archipelago. thanks to the jakarta bay's thousand islands—which in reality i'm sure give and take, including coral islands during low tides, there's only hundred or so. stranded, exploration, leisure, studies, dragged to, and all; quite surely i've been to at least 20 of them. a couple favorites no longer exist.
anyways.... all that and back to what i was going to say before my rambling. i'm going to surabaya, for the first time of course, with a couple of classes.
more to show when i'm back, of course. i kept saying that to myself, i'll spend a good week taking pictures of the recent stuff i've done and finish a few more i've started. even when we're busy living, 24 hours including sleepless night is still all we have. so it's all down to managing time and juggling priorities. i know that theory...see if i can take less time being so retired.

anthology of scrap
the bright colored papers i was trying to work on during the weekend gave me a nauseating headache. i packed up the set and decided to completely abandon the project. after a couple of extra strength rapid release tylenols, i started a new project and worked on this journal. it was fashioned after lia's anthropologie's album which she did in sharon's class and i couldn't make.
reveled in the process with the "help" of my scrap sidekick—max, we finished it in one sitting...almost.
i call mine anthology of scrap and i'm going to record some of my scrapping thumbnails, experiments, ideas...you know...scrap and crap. i will add photos on the filmstrip later.
when i sort out trinkets as such, i do not just pick what goes. every item is relevantly and significantly symbolize the concept, design and purpose ...something like that.
supplies are mostly 7 gypsies and tim holtz, plus various trinkets i collected.
this journal is a treasure in the making until it's filled up.
