i don't have a single artistic bone in my body.
i'd like to think of myself as more literary.
ya whatever, sweet lemon. i can't draw a straight line, i don't know what color goes with what, or what accessory or furniture goes well with whatever.


that's one of my biggest frustrations. i really get jealous with people who can draw, paint, design, style...because i can't draw a straight line even if it kills me.


i'm jealous of qt who's so good with her arts and crafts..her christmas gift wrapping is like a work of art. i'm jealous of pammy who can whip up a great outfit and always come out looking like a fashion model.


Jealousy is my least favorite emotion and so i dabbled.... in the arts ( lord, have mercy ).
once in a while i'd get crazy and take on an artistic project..hits and misses..well more misses ( i'm remembering a really sad looking rose that i painted many years back.. yuck).


the hits are few and far between haha...but for someone with zero motor skills and is artistically challenged, i strive to amaze myself from time to time.


it was my niece's sally j's 18 birthday.. just a small party.. a venue for me to be trying hard.
my job was to fix the buffet table ( seriously??)...and with blind faith, i did.


motiff: yellow. this is the shade that i wanted..



this is the image that inspired me..






but yellow flowers seemed more apt...





and with the trusty aid of manang diding, the best pleater in town.. she made the images in my head come to life. thank you for being "my hands."





the finished product...






...not bad for a frustrated "artist"





...oh and did i mention that yellow is my absolute favorite color in the whole world?:-)
