This explains why I haven’t blogged much in Feb.

The Vancouver 2010 Olympics fever will probably last for a while before it starts to fade away. People still talk about these games even though the world’s largest event has ended. I’m still checking out some footage of the games online as well. It seems that the games only started yesterday! I feel lucky that I [...]

My Work in Uppercase

Written by Lemonni. Filed under Design + Living. Tagged , , . 8 Comments.
  I received my Uppercase magazine this morning in mail, and I found that my work has been selected!! Few months ago, Uppercase magazine had a call-for-submissions for “candy wrapper redesign.” I thought it could be fun, so I actually bought a box of chocolate Pocky and scan them. Yes, SCAN. Literally. And gave the package a [...]

久等了! Here’s the wallpaper for February~ This design was meant for the Valentine’s Day cards for the letterpress workshop, but the graphic is too “detailed” and the plate for it couldn’t be produced in time. So I thought it could be “recycled” for the wallpaper this month :)   ❉ Go to wallpapers and download them!

Letterpress Workshop

Written by Lemonni. Filed under Crafty Fun. Tagged , , . 12 Comments.
    Finally, letterpress is no longer just something I’ve seen in shops or read in books, but something I’ve actually done! This past Sunday, I signed up for a letterpress workshop at a local letterpress studio–Modus. From typesetting to lock-up to operating the platen press, I had the opportunity to participate in the whole process of letterpress [...]

Good for Eyes

Urban legend says that carrots help with night vision. Though not completely true. Lack of Vitamin A can cause poor vision. Have you ever seen a bunny wearing glasses? Nope. My next move was putting it down – to my basket. You could say that I bought this simply because of the design or the mention of [...]

【Tofino Revisited】02. High Above

Written by Lemonni. Filed under 旅行的意義. Tagged , , , , . 2 Comments.
This is my first time taking a float plane. I wasn’t quite sure if I wanna go up there in such a small piece of metal, but after I got up there, I was so glad that I decided to fly. It was a really short, 30-minute flight, but it’s probably one of those most [...]

【Tofino Revisited】01. A Peaceful Start

Written by Lemonni. Filed under 旅行的意義. Tagged , , . No comments.
Last time when I was in Tofino, it was about 6 years ago. Tofino hasn’t changed a lot since then. The locals are still very friendly. The town is quiet and original. And the air is as crisp as before. I was gonna blog about my 2010 resolutions, but I thought before I prepare myself for [...]

This year, I didn’t buy any Christmas cards for family and friends. Instead, I made them :) Making cards not only saves money but also brings a lot of joy!

Baguettes around the corner

I thought I wasn’t in Vancouver when I was sitting inside this nice, French-style cafe – Finch’s Tea & Coffee House. People said that the baguette here is a must-try in Vancouver, and I have to agree with them. There are so many different kinds of baguettes that will make you wanna go back again to [...]
