back!

After going on a month+ hiatus from blogging, I realized how much I missed it and how good of an outlet a blog provides. Originally, I wanted to come back with a reinvented look and feel for my blog but that is still in the works since classes and other obligations started taking over. So instead, I am going to keep this simple black + white template until I can sit down and design something. But on another note, I am committed to start blogging again about my inspirations, new cultural releases, and the randomosity that is the essence of my entries, haha.

Currently: in my Graphic Design class - taking a break from drawing and sketching different renderings of a household icon (mine is a tea strainer). It's a tedious process and the project is a LOT more challenging than I originally gave it credit for (I mean, really? spending 5+ weeks on ONE object? ...). Drawing is not my forte but this is definitely expanding my horizons in terms of how I perceive an object and allowing myself to look beyond my initial reaction to the design. I made a tweet earlier while I was drawing, saying that I should stop choosing things I love for projects because they eventually become the bane of my existence (yes, like cupcakes SK - haha). The process is tough but I am going to stay hopeful and optimistic for the end result.

Before I get back to drawing, I want to share this amazing tea bag design based on origami principles. It was directed by Russian artist Natalia Ponomareva. The bird folds + unfolds as the tea infuses. I would love to add this to my tea collection!
