Easy Photo Editing with Cymera

Look at my newest red peony kanzashi, isn’t it pretty?!? ^o^

This time I use red and pink soft shirt fabric. I make the peony kanzashi a little different with original peony kanzashi because I’m in the mood for to do it. I use some small beads and woll yarn. I love this red peony kanzashi!

Alright, actually I just made this kanzashi this morning then take the photo at noon. Before I take a photo of it, I show this kanzashi to my parents. My father said something about give it to someone. What??? It looks like my fater has missunderstanding with me (because I sometime give my crafts to my friends) but sorry, I don’t give this kanzashi for free to anyone. I usually take photos at daylight on my veranda, over creamy ceramics. Then I editing the photo using Cymera on my tab. After I finished, I show the photo to my father then he said the photo was prettier than the real one. What??? Is it mean that my kanzashi was ugly??? or I did too much editing??? Sigh, actually I don’t do much editing to my photos. So, I decide to make a tutorial how I did my editing.

I use Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and installing Cymera. Cymera is like a programme to take photos and editing it. I use Cymera because it’s very easy to use and the results were pretty. I think the most important things for crafty photos are watermark and a little effect. So, I just give a little effect and write text for my crafty photos, like this one. Usually, after I editing the photos, I upload it to my facebook, pinterest, fanpage, or twitter. Then I download my own photos and save it in my laptop. Yeah, if you lazy like me, you can do this too, hehehe… :p

Patchwork Doodle

Happy sunny Sunday morning everyone! ^o^

Finally I finish my newest doodle, patchwork doodle. I really love patchwork but not good in making it. So, I think I could draw a patchwork with doodle pattern. So, this is it!

Felt Carrots and doughnuts

Happy Saturday morning everyone! ^o^

Look at these carrots, isn’t it cute? Hehehe… :p

If you think I’m the one who make these felt carrots, then you’re wrong. Because the one who made these was my mom. Yeah, she has plenty time and curious so she tried to make these carrots. She use sewing machine to sew the inside then handsewing the top. I like the colours, I think orange and green are pretty together. Beside carrots, she also make some strawberries. I don’t take the photo of those strawberries because its similar to strawberries felt we made earlier (you can read on my previous blogpost).

While my mom sew those felt carrots, I was make these doughnuts. I think its not as pretty as my previous doughnuts felt. Maybe because the felt that I used was not as bright as the previous one, and because I feel bored. Yeah, my lackness is I can make something too much because I can feel bored and tired easily. But, that’s okay. I still like my doughnuts felt keychains. Ah yeah, we (me and my mom) put keychain ringson the carrots, strawberries and doughnuts that we made.

Bear and Panda Felt Doll

Kanzashi Plum Blossom

Finally I made it!

This is kanzashi that I made a few days ago. It made from cotton fabric. I love the colours, yellow and purple. Actually I want make kanzashi for my kebaya so I can use the kanzashi as hijab or veil accessories. But unfortunately, the kebaya fabric was used up, so I can’t make it.

This is the kebaya that I aimed.

Then, I choose to make kanzashi from cotton fabric. I have purple sasirangan (traditional fabric from South Kalimantan) gown, then I choose purple and yellow fabric to make the kanzashi. Oh yeah, on the photo you can see a hair comb behind the kanzashi. I don’t glue the kanzashi on it, just place the kanzashi on top of it, because I want use the kanzashi on my hijab or veil using pin (not hair comb). Hehehe… :p

Girls on Doodle

Good Sunday night, everyone!

This is my new doodle. Actually I made the sketch about 2 weeks ago but then abandoned because I was busy with other things and do not have the mood to doodling. My mood is the most important thing to make my doodle this time, because I draw my anger on it.

My doodle this time has a message on it, you can read it. It written in Bahasa Indonesia, in English it means “You are not me and I never want to be you”. Actually I wrote a prose (or a poetry) about my anger too (you can read on my previous blog post, written in Bahasa Indonesia) and make this doodle as blog post cover. I just want to tell to people that everyone of us are unique with our own way, have different passion and taste.

Sometime I feel bad because I release my anger or madness to a prose, poetry, or doodle. But I think its still better that badmouth about something or someone who make me angry.

Sweet Blue Hat Pincushion

Alright, I make another hat pincushion!

Well, actually I make it because I want make a tutorial how to make it. But, I don’t know when will I write the tutorial then upload it here, because I’m in lazy mood to edit the photos. Hehehe… :p

Prosa : Bukan Orang yang Sama

Kita bertemu di sebuah pelabuhan

Aku tersenyum, kau tersenyum, mereka tersenyum

Tujuan yang tertulis di tiket kita serupa

Aku tahu kau kehilangan sesuatu

Hingga mata mereka tertuju padamu

Kau mengepakkan sayap hitammu, aku diam, mereka bungkam

Kau mengepakkan sayap putihmu, aku tersenyum, mereka bersorak

Aku tidak membencimu

Aku hanya muak dipaksa berdiri di belakangmu

Diseret mengikuti langkahmu

Kau bahkan tak menoleh walau aku berontak dan terseok

Aku bisa berjalan tegap jika tujuanmu adalah tujuanku

Namun, hasratmu bukan hasratku

Kau bukan aku

dan

Aku tak pernah ingin menjadi dirimu

Upcycle Jeans to A Cute Apron

I really love recycle nor upcycle things, because it was really fun to do and of course it was also fun to see people face when they realize what we make is a recycle or upcycle thing. This is my newest upcycle project, an apron from old jeans.

I was looking for old clothes that unused from my cupboard but then I realize my good but old clothes were given to some people because my cupboard is full. I hate when my cupboard full of clothes, so I decided to give some clothes (it were still in good condition but I don’t or seldom use it) to people, my neighbor exactly. Actually I have an old pajama, a dress one with batik design. I love that pajama because it cool when used. But I give up on it because it was really old. Another reason, my mother buys me some new pajamas for me. Then, I change that old pajama to be an apron. Unfortunately, I don’t take a picture of it.
