When was the last time you do simple coloring? Sometimes when the page is right in front of one’s eyes, one just can’t resist it 🙂

The experiment

Tags

colorful, colors, photography, pink, tassel

An idea came to me to make a different version of clutches for my brand Widja Broderie, by using tassels as part of design. After sourcing various tassels, I tested them on few aspects. One of the most important one is, whether the colour will come off. While soaking it in hot water, the pretty colours invited me to photograph it.

One of our favorite strategy board game, Blokus was introduced to us by a very good friend who brought it to us from Australia.

In this picture, all 84 pieces were placed puzzle-like by my little one as a way to cheer himself up after having lost two times in a row :-).

Today I visited a house of an owner of a tile / ceramic company. He naturally has some beautiful tiles around the house, as floor and wall.

I shot these cute tiles in his powder room. Oh how photo blogging turns you into a snooper, taking pictures of someone’s powder room 🙂

Sitting on the mezzanine level, this beautiful lamp hanging from the high ceiling right away caught my attention when I was having lunch in a turkish restaurant today. The whole interior decoration was just beautiful, but this particular lamp is simply stunning!

The rain outside

Sitting in the car which is stuck in traffic jam amidst rainy day in Jakarta, I luckily have my camera, ample of time to play around with manual focus and managed to snap this picture. I love how the other cars outside unexpectedly compliment the rainbow effect as the background.

I realized that lately I’m more drawn to objects of color, with their order and repetitiveness. Here they are again, my colorful decorative balls, which are my last purchase before moving out of Cebu.

When I was small, a birthday party was NOT a birthday party without the presence of these tiny heaven-like gem drops. Known locally as ‘kue kancing’, these colorful sweet merinque just melt in your mouth.

My siblings and I used to separate the biscuit bottoms from the colorful merinque tops. Eating the biscuit first, we were saving the best for last. Of course we really have to watch out, as once you are off guard, the precious sugar drops can transfered to somebody else’s mouth :-).

Daily goodies

It’s that time of the year again.

Every 1st of December, we start our advent calendar. It’s like warming up exercise to Christmas Eve :-). What is it not to like? It’s a nice way to spoil the kids. They wake up every morning, eager to find out what is inside the package of the day. I fill them up with small things like stationaries, tiny toys, gummy bear, kinderüberraschung. Their facial expressions every morning when they wake up is just priceless.

I never buy a ready made advent calendar, simply because I love to make different ones. But this year we reused ones from last year. I just hang them on empty walls in front of their playroom, instead of hanging them along the stairs like last year.

I made all those folded wheels and wonder, is there a special name for it?

Do you know what these are?

My 7 and 9 years old shook their heads when I asked them the question. Of course they don’t know. These are way before their generation. I wonder whether there are still computers which take these?

Taken from the plane not long after taking off while I was flying back from a short weekend get away. I love these colorful out of focus lights, which look like hundreds boomerangs flying around in the sky.
