…at least that’s what this t-shirt says. I had no idea! :)

Japanese Girlfriend

I bought this for a buck from The Salvation Army eons ago. I wear it often. I’ve worn it to the gym, around town, and even to Japantown. It’s bright, soft and worn and the Japanese optical chart won my heart at first glance.

I met up with my pal, Jack, over some coffee and donuts yesterday and he translated the shirt as Looking for a Japanese girlfriend. Holy moly! Oh well. I like the shirt far too much to stop wearing it.

These prints were created by my friend, Vibeke Hoie, from Norway. She recently opened an online shop to showcase her beautiful work.

Hendes Verden

She also works as a freelance illustrator and has been published in numerous magazines, like Hendes Verden. Does the woman in the blue blouse look familiar? :)

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog during The August Break — I loved reading your feedback and appreciate the time you took out of your day to check out my photos.

Besides taking random photos around town, I spent most of August munching on sweets, watching Glee reruns (totally jumped the shark last night — what a shame), exploring Photoshop, playing with Taco, cuddling with Chico, pondering over the logistics of a service I’m adding to the blog (more details to come), and reading Susannah Conway’s blog from her very first post to the present. That woman RULZ.

Dotted Shapes

Anyhoo, I’ve received a couple of emails asking how I created the Dot Your Dots freebies and so I want to kick-start September with a few tutorials. I’m going to begin with a dotted lines how-to. The 2nd tutorial shows how to create dotted circles and the last video shows how to create any dotted shape (I used text in the 3rd example — go mantras).

Dotted Shapes - Example

Check these out when you can. If any of the steps are confusing, please let me know and I’d be happy to clarify. :)
