My Art Journal and part of my 30 Watercolor 30 Day Challenge

The watercolor paper I'm using is from Canson 200g watercolor pad. I cut them to the right size for the journal. I use the leftover to make watercolor bookmarks/stickers/mini-booklets. (Will blog about them later.)

The 30 Watercolor 30 Day Challenge is my 2nd 30 Things 30 Day Challenge. I do the 30T30D Challenge to 1) Learn / try new things. 2) Practice some of the newly acquired skills. 3) Force me and my brain to do things differently. 4) Conquer some of my fears. This is a  new  idea I got when doing a brainstorming for potential 30T30D ideas. Why not use this opportunity to conquer some of my fears? Obviously I would not be able to conquer 30 fears in just 30 days. But it will be a good start! So going to write up a list of other 30T30D ideas and my  "fears" list. Take CAre :D

我的Art Journal 和一部分的30天張30水彩的挑戰。 我用的是Canson 200克水彩紙。把它們剪到合適的大小​​。我用剩的紙造水彩畫書籤/貼紙/迷你小冊子。

30天張30水彩的挑戰是我的第2個30天30件事。我做30天30件事, 簡稱30T30D, 的原因 1）了解/嘗試新事物。 2）實踐一些新獲得的技能。 3）強迫我和我的大腦做不同的事情。 4）征服我的一些恐懼。這是我做30T30D brainstorm 時的一個新想法。為什麼不利用這個機會來征服我的一些恐懼？很顯然，我不能在短短的30天征服30件恐懼。不過，這將是一個好的開始 ！所以打算寫其他30T30D的想法和我的“恐懼”。Take Care :D

Haha :)

A Japanese drink I came across recently. The brand is Meko. The peach is supposed to be a popular comic character.(?) I just have to get this bottle after I saw the back of it. :D

{ My 30 Things 30 Days ~ Rubber Stamp 30天30件事 ~ 手作橡皮章, Aug 2014 }

I finished my 2nd 30 Rubber Stamps 30 Days in August 2014. As a part of my 101 Goals, I set the goal to learn 1 new thing every 30 days. One of the new things is to learn how to make rubber stamp. I really do enjoy making things with my hands since I spent so much of my day on computer nowadays. It is like doing meditation. :D I hope to be able to do more detailed and delicate stamps one day. Most of the stamp images come from a book by Haru, a Taiwan artist. The rubber I used are from Daiso. These are NOT good quality rubber to make detailed stamps but they're sufficient for my practice purpose.

30天30件事 (我的101目標的一部分) : 每30天學習1個新的東西。2014年八月完成了第2個"30天30個橡皮章"目標。我喜歡用雙手來造的東西，像做冥想一樣。希望有天能做更細緻的橡皮章。

大部分橡皮章的圖像來自Haru 的 書。

我用的是大創橡膠，用它們來練習就可以了。
