Wearing plaid and staying in bed.

For Christmas this year, I made my sister a cut-out. It says "Chistar" on the top. It's what we call each other. I'm pretty pleased with how this one came out. If you look at the arms, they make no sense. I was too tired to redo this entire thing though. We call them hand-scarves.
Cashed out about 7 hours of sleep.

And because they are too cute. Here are my dogs.

Yumbo the big chow-chow/german shepherd wuss of a dog.


Puppy, the spoiled brat of the family.
Happy Holidays!

Scherenschnitte!

I've picked up this new hobby. It's called Scherenschnitte. And for the non-German speakers, such as myself, it's papercutting. I've been working on this new craft for a while now. And I decided that maybe I should make a blog for them. I just use colored paper, and a xacto knife. Here are my babies. I apologize ahead of time for the shitty pictures.
All of these I make for friends, just so you know.

These all have their names on them. This one says Thuy. It took about 5-6 hours to complete it.

For the girl who sees everything through a little black box.
The hands were so difficult on this cutout. I had to re-draw it so many times.

This one is the most recent, I did this for my friend Jina. Who loves to dance like no other.
7 hours on this babe.
I think I could safely say that that this is my first cutout that I did, where I tried to incorporate my own style. I like it.


The biggest of the bunch. It came out pretty clean, I think. Sorry for the flash.
I've made about 10 of these things? I hope that I've been improving.
This was my first one:
Improved?
