Lately, I really started to notice the inevitable disappearance of time. Weeks and even months evaporate into nothing whenever I just keep on going without pausing to reflect. I'd like to start a new challenge for myself, and make a small summation of achievements for the week. Let's stretch that time! Last week, I finally … Continue reading Flying Week – New Challenge

I have this adorable set of bunny vases. They just like to stare at each other ^^;
Here's an interesting wall clock. I guess tiny format is not the best way to depict detailed objects. I also wish I included some other objects that would indicate the wall itself. Anyway, this was a fun doodle and practice piece.
