Alphabet stamps and stickers

Hi, guys, this is me again! Recently, I bought a collection of alphabet stickers and stamps and thought I'll like to show you my collection. ;) I really love these materials and maybe for those art lovers out there you may consider to buy these items.

These alphabet stickers can be found in Vivo City, Paper market. If I remember correctly there are three types of colours; red, white and turquoise. I'm sure there will be people who know about paper market but for those who don't you should go there, it is ultimate haven! There is so many exquisite art materials to choose from! They even sell guide books which shows guidelines on how to create certain D.I.Y stuff. It's awesome and you should check it out! Anyway, these alphabet stickers are the pop-out version with different fonts which I feel it's quite cool. Currently, I'm actually using these stickers to decorate my laptop. These are good for scrap-book making.

The transparent glass plague along with the three Versa Colour collection; blue, green and black were bought from Beauty World (some shop that I can't remember) Though the shop is small, but there are many good art supplies there too. If you think Vivo city is too far away you may want to go there in Bukit Timah. Both shops sell the different colour pad, the glass plague and the sticky stamps.  For me, I bought the Alphabet set but there are many other types of stamps ranging from different designs and sizes. Some of the designs are; balloons, animals, etc. The silver one (Encore!) can be found in Papermarket. After using both brands, I feel that both Versa Colour and Encore! are quite good. Though maybe Encore! has a wide range of colour platelets. From what I have seen, I don't think Versa Colour sells metallic colour like silver and gold. So if you want these colours go buy Encore! instead.

This box of alphabet chops were at a discount of one dollar and I thought it was unique and worth the price. It's actually made of wood  and you can just use your creative juices to form different words and patterns with these stamps. This is not the only design though, there are at least five to ten different font design for this kind of stamps. Extremely worth it!

 

 

Skull (Flower)

This is a chalk art that depicts a skull adorned with a huge red flower and many small purple flowers. Actually the colour of the big flower was pink but I filtered it to be red since I felt red represents passion, something distinctively human. It kinds of remind me of Spain with their bold red dresses and roses...
Since I the huge flower was already something striking I decided that my small flowers had to attract less attention hence I chose a colour with a lighter hue. Light purple was the perfect choice and I did not want to use orange because it'll just blend in with the flower. Moreover, purple gives off a relaxing and soothing feel, a stark contrast compared to the attention-seeking red. As it the theme is about nature I decided to put in some curly veins. The veins were purposefully curved like the skull shape (to make it thinner?) and I seriously don't know why but I thought it was pretty.
Okayy and the yellow strip or design was so not expected. I just felt the whole picture was a bit plain and I guess i'm the type of person that will just add and add until it becomes a whole other kind of picture...Oh well, it just felt right to draw to add more colour?
The small tear is a must-add I told myself before drawing. Actually if you could see my other works you'll understand that I love drawing human or non-human art with tears or something related to water.  I'm actually happy about the eye as I never expected to have this circular texture almost as if the skull's eyes were hypnotising! (Okay maybe i'm just exaggerating a little bit :p)
Nowadays I'm always dreaming about pictures related to skull...I got this huge temptation to do my own I-phone cover with fabric tape, painty marker and nail-polish! (Yeah, you heard it right, nail polish!) Maybe, if I have time I would do my own I-phone cover and post it online! XD

 

La vie en Rose (Chalk art)

 

This is the new chalkboard that I bought from Typo, West Gate. I thought that I might as well try out and draw something. This portrait is about the French famous song La vie en Rose. I thought the name of the song was very delicate and beautiful, I drew some standard flower rather than a rose. Ma Chere means My dear in French and Amour de Salud is love salud (It's actually a song piece). Since the song is about a loved one might as well use that word :)

Though I felt that the feel is a bit Hawaiian? Or perhaps a Malayan feel with the chalk colour and all...

This is also another chalkboard I bought from the same stall but this is smaller by three times. The French words are the lyrics of La vie en Rose. I don't know but the lyrics looks quite meaningful.

"And as soon as I see him
So do I feel in me
My heart which beats"

The song is really beautiful and melodic! The drawing is also another standard flower and I chose pink because that's what the song reminds me of; pink.



This is both of the picture together. Although it took me at least a few hours to draw and plan the thing out I still feel extremely pleased. After all, this is the first time i'm trying this kind of art out.
