Björk - 'Who Is It'

Missing the Phil...

---

Old pics from the Philippines (2005).

My uncle dropped by with a pot of Kare-kare plus a cake pan of Bibingka and now I'm missing the Philippines so so much! I miss my morning camera walk, the uneven streets, 7am middle-of-the-road badminton, rice breakfasts and sweet street vendors bellowing out 'TAHO'. I'm going back, but next Christmas sounds so far away. Too far away. Is anyone else out there homesick?

In brighter news Nicole made a post about my work on her blog freshly{blended}! She made a post earlier about this Cina bag and I still can't believe it's made of laminated paper. Laminated paper I tellz ya!

Good things!

A couple of days ago I was taking some photos of an old uni project...






After taking a short break from that I notice this...



Which reminded me of this... death by carnivorous orchid anyone?

In other news a huge thank you to the lovely Maditi for mentioning me on her brilliant blog Maditi likes. Not to mention putting me next to the very inspring Michelle Armas and her new painting!

Good things, good things. :}

New website!

Some quick news... I finally uploaded my website ellyyap.com!

I'm no web designer so if anyone happens to find sneaky stickybeaky broken links please let me know! :}

The Roadtrip

The roadtrip.

Song of the Drowned

---.

I'm going on a small roadtrip up to Lorne for a couple of days. I've gotta find some of the Polaroid film I stashed away so I can click at the beach to my heart's content! Anyway about the fabric pics...

Earlier this year I was commissioned by Australian fashion designer Dhini to create patterns for her Spring 2007 collection 'Song of the Drowned'. I adored working on this project and learnt a lot in the process (this being my first attempt at pattern design).

Had someone told me months before that my first commission as a graphic designer would be so much fun I would've turned to them and said in my best valley girl accent 'OMG, like whatEVER.'

You can see the full collection here, and watch video of the show here.

Here are the deets!
