2015 Etsy shop open!

Oh hi, whoever come across my old school blog.

Just checked my last post was in 2012, we are all busy on social media. I am on instagram (@wpyjess) and Tumblr (wpyjess) almost once in 3 -4 hours! 

I am going to update the blog with this brand new exciting project of mine: finally got an online shop (Etsy), I have been procrastinating for almost 3 years with a full time demanding job, working as a display & graphic supervisor at a high street brand. You simply have no time and strength to work on anything else. All you desire to do after work is eat/ watch telly & sleep. 

In 2015 (beginning of this year!) I decided that I want to have my own brand, nothing to ambitious, just being able to make clothes I love, embroidery on garments, leather pouch, leather tote bag and draw more. 

Here are some recent works for you. Come have a look at my Etsy shop : www.etsy.com/shop/wpyj

I promise my next post is coming very soon !

First post in 6 months

Haven't updated the blog for almost half a year...been too long! I have't got a chance to draw since I have started my new job. Started a self portrait but unfinished, given up on the cosmic painting because it bored me...perhaps upload work pictures of the mannequin outfits, that's even more boring...thought what could motivate me to draw?  Then, I came up with an idea of draw to record the groups of mannie I did at work, at least I can play with the girl's face and pose. So here it goes, the first post of summer outfits - lagoon, sunshine and blueberry.

Some works done while ago for EBR

From my Paris trip.

Point Omega

I had a wonderful encounter during my stay at home for this Chinese New Year, have met my second favourite book Point Omega by Don Delillo. Although I did not finished it yet and did not understand throughly, but I was very intrigued by the book, found inner peace. I am going to re-read it soon..
I really like one passage and it sounds like - The true life is not reducible to words spoken or written, not by anyone, ever. The true life takes place when we're alone, thinking, feeling, lost in memory, dreamingly self - aware, the submicroscopic moments.

Hand Stitch tote bag!

>>> <<<

I have taken a new challenge after Christmas, always have fear of fabric work, but I thought why not just give it a try ? It was inspired by other fabric illustrations around, they have intrigued me deeply, sometimes I wanted to wear a skirt or a tote bag with all these handmade images on them. So I thought maybe I should make my own, and found out I really enjoyed the process, I stitched with great joy and satisfaction. I have made a handy size of tote bag as an experiment, picking all favourite colors coral pink, noble green, deep red...and took my mum's buttons from her 'treasure', the three line on the bag was taken from the last passage of my little writing (have a habit of writing a little when I was in the mood..) Wish to do more and more of this !
