My parents were in Taiwan this year, so I was unable to spend it with them. And my brother was too busy with other stuff to hang out with me... So I didn't spend Chinese New Year with him either... Haha.
But! I still had church family and friends to spend Chinese New Year with. And for that, I was extremely grateful and blessed. Good food and good company, what more could I have asked for? :)
Its the year of the snake! :P Next year it will finally be "my" year again... the year of the horse. I think the horse was my favorite animal growing up because it was my zodiac animal. Haha. I didn't really have a favorite animal, so I always used horse as my default answer. Haha
Anyways... On to other crafting business.
Yes, that's right, I have more to share. :)
Sometimes I find it very amusing that I'm making all these Valentine's gifts when I actually have no idea what its like to be in a relationship. Well... the relationships I know about are between family members, friends, and God. Haha. But anyways, that's besides the point. I think I watch enough dramas and read enough stories to kinda get the gist of it. Haha. XD
This is the last "sculpture" that I made for Valentine's Day. I made some keychains, but I have yet to put those up. Perhaps they can still work for couples, even after Valentine's Day has passed. In any case, let's get to it.
I always had this idea of using these square boxes to create a picture or a scene in. I originally purchased them so that I could be able to ship my keychains in a manner that wouldn't make the package too fragile. They are actually gift boxes that I got from the wedding section in Michaels. I got it cuz it was a large package of them that were on clearance. ;) My favorite. Haha.
Anyways, I contemplated making an actual background scene, but decided against it because it was too much work and I was too lazy. Haha. But I still wanted something to fill up the background (and not just be plain and silver), so I just put in a simple 3-blocked "I <3 U."
Its kinda similar to my previous post about the bears in a glass jar, except, this one was a surprise kiss. Haha. XD Like I said, I really liked the idea of using wire to create balloons, so I added them in this scene as well. I kinda like how the base turned out in this one as well. Normally, I mix every single color by hand (except for black and white) and I try to mix it so that each shade is evenly distributed throughout the entire block. But, I got a little lazy when I was mixing the base color, and I decided to let the other color run through the base, which created small patterns throughout the base. And effect I was rather pleased with.
Its kinda funny, but whenever I make couple items, I feel the necessity to put a pink or red (or any other "girly" color) bow on the female character... just for clarification sake. Haha. I recently started putting eyelashes on the girl to indicate which one was female. But, for this one, because her eyes were open, it was too difficult to add eyelashes, so I ended up just adding a bow. Haha.

The base, as well as the cover, is removable. Although, in all honesty, I don't really know why it would be necessary to take the item out of the box. If anything, it would be for the purpose of looking at the sculpture closer and in greater detail? Haha. I don't know. :P
So, there you are... the final item I created. I don't have much to say on this one, cuz I think its rather straight forward. Plus, I have no stories to share about this item. Haha.
I think that's what makes blogging difficult for me. Because I don't document very well, the post that I put up is merely a lengthier description of the photos I put up. Which, I don't know if people are interested in listening to. Haha. Oh well, its not like you guys are forced to read my blog. XD Haha.
Anyways, next time I'll be posting up something that may turn out to be a very, very lengthy post. Haha. I foresee a large number of photos. Haha. Yep, I'm going to try documenting my crafts from now on! :P Haha. Don't get your hopes up though... cuz I highly doubt I will be able to maintain this kind of patience with extensive documenting.
We shall see.
:)
