Have duct tape will travel!
Few months ago, in Jogjakarta, I met a swedish girl in a hostel where we were staying.
She was already on the road for 4 months or so at the time and was lauding the usefulness of a duct tape one evening while mending her backpack with the miracle tape.
To be frank, a duct tape had never been on my pre-travel check list before. I remember sitting on the toilet of my hostel sewing my waist pouch that had torn opened at the top one very early morning in Bangkok the year before, not wanting to switch on the light in the shared room and disturbed the other travellers. Now if I had duct tape, it would have simplified things.
No more fear of broken shoes, ripped clothing and fallen hem. Duct tape to the rescue!
On my next trip, which will be the coming late Feb, you bet I won't leave home without the duct tape! ;)

Year of the Sheep 2015. (Ladies T-shirt)
Five days off the dateline I set for myself, but I completed the final design for the Chinese New Year (CNY) 2015.
This is a chinese character 祥 (xiang), meaning auspicious.
The character is made of two parts. On the left is 礻and right 羊.
羊 (yang) means sheep and you can see why I had placed the adorable sheep in from of the word 羊.
I don't believe I have ever drawn a sheep in my life until now. And I was determined to have at least one design with a sheep. After all, 2015 is the year of the sheep.
I started this and had to set it aside and work on the Fish design because I was stuck and had difficulty completing it.
Anyway, look at it now! I love it!!
What's left is to get the design onto cards and the other products! :)

Lunar New Year Greeting Card!!
Tah dah!! CNY greeting card!!
What's a Chinese new year without a bright red greeting card!
Fish（鱼) when pronounced in Chinese is yú which is identical to the word 余. 余 (yu) means extra, more than enough or surpluses. Fishes therefore symbolize abundance, wealth and prosperity. The four Chinese characters underneath the fish 年年有余 (nian nian you yu) is often used during the Chinese New Year to wish everyone an abundant of wealth each and every year.

Another fish!
Decides to tilt the fish further and sell this as a separate design after my last post.
I know customers could customize the products themselves on Zazzle, but I just want to see this in my store and I couldn't choose which one of the designs. lol..
A reminder: I designed this fish for the Chinese New Year, but you can wear it daily. Just remove the "CNY 2015" if you prefer, or just leaving it there. Or add some other text of your choice. :)

Fish, the symbol of wealth and prosperity!
One design down, one more to go!
My original design included a Japanese sea/wave. But when I tried the design on a mock t-shirt last evening, I changed my mind. Maybe I will have the wave on one of those tote bags. I will think about that after I complete the last CNY 2015 design, hopefully by 15 Jan.

I've tilted the fish about 20 degrees up. I worked the fish on photoshop after designing it with illustrator. But after the final post processing and saving the png file I closed PS without saving a copy of the PS file. Urgh!!! lol...
