Cross stitch Van Gogh Café Terrace at Night
In my earlier post I mentioned that I was working on cross stitch Café Terrace at Night. Well, finally, I decided to push it harder in order to finish the entire piece during the winter season because it has been so long. And I want to move on to other side projects. The reason whyContinueContinue reading “Cross stitch Van Gogh Café Terrace at Night”
Japanese Yuzen style hexagon panels – 4 seasons
After finishing the bamboo garden I painted pumpkins. Once I put the bamboo garden and pumpkins together on the wall, I realized something. I can make them into a series representing the four seasons of the year. Bamboo represents summer, pumpkin represents fall, all I need is one for spring and one for winter. SpringContinueContinue reading “Japanese Yuzen style hexagon panels – 4 seasons”
Revised Japanese Yuzen hexagon oil painting with frame
After the first experiment with Japanese Yuzen style hexagon painting, I don’t like the way it frames. It is flat as my planned but it is not easy to put hanger on the back. My original thought was to use mounting tape but I think I can do it more straightforward and make it readyContinueContinue reading “Revised Japanese Yuzen hexagon oil painting with frame”
Some of my wood works
Background One day when I watched TV with my husband in our previous house in GA, he said “you should get a bookshelf for your office area.” I answered, “I can build one by myself. I love wood works.” He replied “Nah, you are just saying, you can’t do such thing like that.” I lookedContinueContinue reading “Some of my wood works”

Tibet Style Prayer Wheel Diamond Knot Decor
I’ve been in Tibet once long time ago. I love that place. I always remembered their bright five color prayer flags everywhere. Beside the river, on top of building and in the forest. Sometimes just around pile of stone pyramid. Back then I purchased a bag decor of diamond knot. It was my favorite one.ContinueContinue reading “Tibet Style Prayer Wheel Diamond Knot Decor”
DIY Face Mask
Finally, after about 6 months preparation, we relocated from GA to MN. It took 3 days for the moving company to load the truck. 3 days for us to drive up to the destination and 3 days for us to open most of boxes. I’m glad that I still have a studio space to paint.ContinueContinue reading “DIY Face Mask”
Stay home projects
As the “shelter in place” order continues, I need lots of home projects for my little one so he doesn’t feel bored and I don’t feel too stressful. I like this painted shells wind chimes most. Early this year when we traveled to a beach my little one collected some shells. Oh, lord now IContinueContinue reading “Stay home projects”
DIY up standing drying rack
Bigger drying rack The drying rack I made before is good for smaller painting panels such as 8×10”. As I am planning to paint more bigger size canvas panels, I need a bigger size drying rack. I searched online and was surprised by their price. WOW. They were all like couple of hundreds. So again,ContinueContinue reading “DIY up standing drying rack”
