Animals Set 02

New set of Animals :) 

Drawn basically from a Circle.

I am doodling these 25 animals for a sewing project in the future.

I just recently discovered  an easy way to make a pattern, drawing it in Inkscape.

You can simply explode it into parts arrange it into a paper, then print and cut.

 Like my animals?

Just leave a message and I will gladly give you the individual PNG files of these circle cuties.

Final Logo Design for Precious Angels

 Logo design is fun!!!

I designed a Logo for a friend of a friend. This was my post before:

http://whatmadeleineloves.blogspot.com/2011/11/logo-design-2.html

She asked me to revised: make it 3 angels, big eyes and more colors. So I made Revision 1...

She then asked me to bring back the old tiny eyes. So I made Revision 2...

and make it 6 angels of different races... Here's the final one!

*Big grin*

She liked it!!!

Coloring Mandalas

I love to Color!!!

When I was pregnant, my baby don't want me to sleep, hehehe. I don't like to watch TV or read a book. It was also at this time that I don't find the Internet amusing. I have so many weird feelings when I was preggy, these were just few of those. So I just sat in the bed and do nothing. It was so stressful for me and the baby.

I have to do something to keep me busy until I can go to sleep. There was not much work in the office then, so I began to search (secretly, ssssh!!!) for creative things to do. Coloring was my choice. I was looking for pages which are more intricate ones, and challenging too. I found many but what caught my attention was the astonishing intricacy of the MANDALAS. 

What are Mandalas? 

I have to lead you to Wikipedia, hehehe.

This SITE  too gives you a simpler explanation of what Mandala is and free coloring pages, as well.

The pattern itself is beautiful and when you color it, it is even more.

It did not only keep me busy at night, it was also a way to calm my self, bringing out that creative part of me.

It was relaxing and fulfilling, too. 

I printed lots and lots, and these are some of the mandalas I colored using colored pencils

I got these free mandala coloring pages HERE. 

And to give you some inspirations, HERE's a very nice gallery.

Happy Mandala Coloring!!!

Cute Animals Notepad

Another project using my Cute Animal Doodles.

My best friend , Ingrid, gave me a notepad last December 2010. She was the one who designed it, print and have it beautifully bound.  I used it mostly for grocery list, doodles, or take down notes. Still have few pages left :), and will leave it blank for keep sake, hehehe.


She shared it in her store as a freebie, which you can customize. It comes also with a very clear instructions.
So visit her store now --- http://www.mscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=837

I had done some notepads before (based on Ingrid's template), for Christmas gifts.

For my latest notepad project, I made my own template and I used my cute animal doodles. The size of the notepad is 9cm x 9cm.

You can try making your own notepad, just download my PSD file for the template, edit the text and print. If you don't want any text in it, you can download the JPEG version, to print directly. After printing (Paper Size is 8.5 X 13), cut and gather all the paper, then clip it. Put glue on top of the gathered papers, at least 3 layers. Drying one layer at a time. You can also use a Padding Compound.

Notepad with name.

Notepad with no name.


Happy Notepad Making!!!

Final Logo

Finally done with my friend's daycare center logo...and yes! yes! she liked it and his hubby liked it too! And when she said "It's official, this will be our logo." my heart was pumping with joy :). Thank you friend for giving me the opportunity to work with you. And I am also proud of what you have become in the foreign land.

Drum roll..... tadan!

I made the house using Inkscape. I struggled doing that simple house, since I was still exploring the software. But it was worth the effort. Thanks again friend!!!!

Logo Design

I am doing a favor for a friend who is in Netherlands. She has a daycare center and she wanted me to do a logo for her. I always wanted to do one and it was for the first time, so so excited. The conceptualization took so long but when I had it, it was easy to put it in the computer. I used Photoshop Elements using simple lines, shapes and color fills. And here is the finished product:

So happy with the result, and they were happy too. But she asked for a brightly colored version and to add rainbow and a house. (Posting the final product soon)

So here's my dilemma, I find it difficult to do a house and a rainbow in  PE. So I began to search for other software which can draw graphics and I stumbled upon INKSCAPE. It is an alternative to Adobe Illustrator (which is an expensive software) and one thing good about it is, its FREE. I love FREEBIES!!! It is easy to  download and install. And I am currently studying it using these tutorials. Here's my first try:

Not bad for a beginner, isn't it??? hehehehe. I am looking forward for another tutorial and hopefully master INKSCAPE. Thanks to all the geniuses who made it and for sharing it to everybody.
