Kittens with her mom by Sara
Today I received a beautiful gift from Sara. It’s her own original drawing (using Paint program) of my missing kittens and their mom, Mel. I shed some tears of joy looking at it. I miss my kittens very much and pray everyday that they are safe.
To Sara, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. This means a world to me.

Yassin’s sketches *
I have been struggling to finish my moleskine but over the last few weeks, Yassin was the one who managed to complete his sketch book that I bought him; 3 of them! He has been drawing and drawing and drawing. Most of them are drawings of robots!
According to Yassin, this is a drawing of Iron Giant snooping inside a building to watch Astro cartoons.
And this one is him with his dad walking in a park.

Back from PD
Got back from PD in the afternoon. Am working on something at the moment and have yet to sort and compress photos from PD. In the mean time, enjoy Ben 10 that Yassin drew while in PD. Ben 10 has superseded Ultraman in his list!

Personalised wrappers
I taught my niece and nephews on how to do their own wrappers back in 2005 and photographed the process. I recently found these photos while browsing through my old archives.
A. Daniel making a wrapper for Yassin
B. Mikhail creating a ‘pelikat’ pattern
C. Djohan, blowing colors with straw
D. Wanda doing the leaf-stamping technique.They enjoyed every moment of it and it was fun!
Material: white mahjong paper, color markers, crayons, brushes, acrylic colors (preferably acrylic because it is permanent when dry), fresh leaves or anything you can think of that creates nice pattern (ie. starfruit, flower, etc).
The how-to is pretty much up to your own creatitivity actually but here are simple steps on how to go about it:
For picture A, Daniel drew circles with white crayon before painting acryclic colors all over the paper. (The effect of the white crayon is more visible if the paper was fully colored.)He personalised it by writing yassin’s name–the wrapper was intended for Yassin.
For picture B, Mikhail painted geometry lines and filled in the boxes with two different colors alternatively.
For picture C, Djohan was using the straw-blowing technique and wrote down the occasion and name in between the patterns.
For picture D, Wanda was using leaves to create patterns for her wrapper. She used hibiscus and mango leaves.
I advised on all the color combinations and provided them the ribbons. This project is great to teach your children about making their own crafts. The techniques can be applied for making greeting cards and tags as well. Try this with your children sometimes, you’ll be amazed of the result!
