Corsages for Seowhui’s wedding…

Showcasing….the corsages I made for Seowhui’s wedding! Well, not totally made by me. I essentially bought the flowers, and then tried to put them together with green straw-like material to make a natural-look corsage. These were made for the jiemeis in a short short duration of time, as I was given pretty late notice for this little project :p Promptly took it up because a) it’s for Seowhui , b) I love doing this kind of things and c) put my creativity to the test in a challenging situation! Sounds like fun! Glad it turned out beautifully and Seowhui loved them too… Nothing like appreciation that truly makes one happy!

The whole bunch of them together…

And here it is when tied onto the wrist!

My piece of art – made with love… :)

Ever since I knew Seowhui was getting married, I’ve been thinking about planning a surprise for her at her wedding. Alas, due to restrictions of time, resources and creativity (as much as I hate to admit it, I wasn’t able to think up of something that was feasibly creative and surprising), I didn’t manage to pull off anything for her at all

So all I could do was to come up with something that would allow for her to remember this special occasion of hers – that is to build a small album of her process of planning as well as of her actual wedding day. Overestimated my own abilities though, haha, and the surprise that was supposed to be enjoyed by her on her wedding night/ next night in the special atmosphere of her suite, could not be delivered on time. I was simply too busy (and tired out, haha) on that day itself to be able to print any photos on that day itself! As some things may happen, this turned out to be somewhat a blessing in disguise, as with a little more time to deal with the photos, I could carefully select the pics and edit them to look special.

I really am happy with the product – it’s my masterpiece! Made with love….

The album…

And its contents…
The author with her “book”! Hee…

Photoshop is sooo cool!

I’ve just picked up a few simple and basic Photoshop techniques and man, Photoshop’s amazing! Why didn’t I learn it earlier? Hubby taught me a few moves that were sufficient for me to create effects like a professional (almost ;p)! This is simply so cool! I could have spent hours on end just creating effects for some photos I have on hand from SH’s wedding! Just because I enjoy doing it :)

Here are some sample pics:
