I was so happy that people liked my art and they smiled when they see my art. :) I am very lucky to have supportive people around me and I am greatful that people like my art!! Thank you so much! There are so many talented people in the event and it was really hard not to spend too much money there!!! Everything was so creative and beautiful and it was very inspiring.

Recent Creation

Happy Easter to everybody!!
Seattle weather wasn't even close to Spring, but it was really fun weekend for me. :) I spent a lot of time with lots of dogs even I am allergic to them. My friends has a dog and her friends has dogs and it was like dog daycare!! But I can't help it. They are so so so cute and I love every animals... but here comes asthma and hives...ugh... but it was worth it!! haha.
I've been creating more of plush dolls! I'm in sewing mood. It's hard...when I sew, my paintings have to wait and when I paint, sewing has to wait... it's hard to make that perfect balance...mmm...

These Crab looking guys have lavender inside of their belly so they smell gooooood :)
So today I submitted a spot for Urban Craft Uprising for the first time! I hope I get accepted!! Then I'll be super busy bee and make more new paintings and crafts!!
Also I have next gallery at Oasis Gallery in Wallingford!! More details to come!!
It's still cold out so keep warm everybody!!
