Completed... Lens flare photoshop effect with added bokeh.

L- is for the way you Look at me...., originally uploaded by Arty Bug.

Added bokeh to the background and used a sweet purplish pink overall color tone. Didn't use liquify tool to change my face shape this time.

A lil' romantic isn't it? =)

Original pic in my previous entry.

*Edit: And i made into an advert for my sales blog. Just a simple one...

Will be updating on the others or making more hats when i have the time... starting school next week and i have to prepare my stuff for moving into a new hall.

Anyway, I found a great variety of masquerade masks with lotsa feathers, glitters and other decor at a gift shop in Golden Landmark.

I was considering to buy it as a prop for fun since it was reasonably priced- less than $10 (just imagine a few pieces of feathers like that from spotlight costs more than the masks)... could just pluck the feathers from the masks and use them instead.

Handphone Bling! A little bit of pink in everything is a good thing.

Left column: After decorating 

Right: Original phone photos from softpedia.com

Details of studs.

Got a new battery for my handphone recently since the old one has totally died and bloated in shape- to the extent that it bents out the battery cover and everyone fears that one day it may just explode. 

Gave it a well needed facelift as well: masked with metallic studded stickers in silver and pink, nail ribbon stickers and half-pearl stickers. 

And oh yeah... THE big kawaii polka-dotted ribbon with jewel attached to it is specifically a handphone accessory. 

Only spent about SGD$10 for those decor. Each piece/set of sticker is $2 from... Daiso =) 

I have been using this phone for 2 and a half years now and still pretty much like it since it serves me well and I don't see the urge to purchase those gadgety Blackberry or Iphone... yet.

All I need in a phone right now are the basics- calls and SMS... And looks is a top priority too. 

Materials for girly lookin phone. Pretty!

And I've finished 3 sets of adorable handicrafts too. Feel like making more variety of them since they're so cute... Maybe I'll reveal it when a proper launch is ready- with nice pics and stuff ;)
