Create; An Altered Artist Palette

It has been coming to about a year plus I've been seriously crafting, creating various DT projects and conducting classes... Gradually I've witnessed myself evolve in the way how I create... It was indeed a journey that had brought me this far and I learned alot, much more than what I could have learned in a design school... I'm still learning though and it's not the end; still searching for an identity that will mark me as an Artist/Designer...

So, finally an opportunity came... An opportunity that never occured to me that it will serve as a beginning to fulfill my dream as a designer... After 2 meetings with the prospective company, I'm finally offered a position with them... I'll be learning everything under the sun which will equip me with all knowledge and skills that I'll need in order to create my very own label in the future... Seems promising and of couse I'm elated... Holding my joy back a little, I try not to get too overly happy and idealistic... I had learned to be more practical and realistic... Dream don't just come true just like this and it requires a lot of time, effort and commitment... Getting into a job as such doesn't means it will nurture the creative aspect of my brain... Afterall, I still need to have an identity that's highly original which is what I'm always pursuing for...

I'm pretty known for my intricate details in most of my works and I pay attention to details and love to create innovative works that seems to be complex yet creating an illusion that look way too simple to achieve... I'm refining this creative aspect of mine in fact... When I decided to move into innovative teaching, I know it's one such challenge and risk I'll have to take - it's either you love or hate me... Students who had attended my classes regularly will understand the amount of effort I put in for all my class projects... And there's a reason why sometimes they will often label me as the most pervertic craft teacher on Earth... LOL!!

Well, for the very first day of this week, I'm sharing this altered artist palette that I had done previously as one of my DT works for Clear Scraps using Prima Printery collection and quite an amount of their flowers, gems and resins... It's a project that I'd like to showcase to mark my creative journey...

I shall catch up with you guys very soon... Happy Monday!!! Cheers!!!
