How to Make Your Own Stationeries

by Elisa Choi Ang on October 5, 2015 with No Comments

I enjoy writing letters to family and friends and prefer handwritten over typewritten. In the past I used to buy stationeries but now I prefer to make my own. Not only is this method inexpensive but also handmade things makes everything special. Here’s how I make my own stationeries: Materials: Drawing block paper Scissors Watercolor Brushes Procedures: Cut the drawing block paper into A5 (approx 5.83″ x 8.27″) Decide on a theme for the design. It can be anything. I like nature. Paint … Read More

Rosey

by Elisa Choi Ang on October 1, 2015 with No Comments

Rosey Surrendering to God does not mean I have given up. It only means that I am in need of His help because apart from Him I am bound to make decisions that is based from my own selfish desires and may lead to undesirable action. There is peace when we know that God is sovereign and He is using each of our situation for His greater glory and for our own sanctification. Praise Him in Christ Jesus! * I painted this rose … Read More

Cactus Line and Wash Video

by Elisa Choi Ang on September 28, 2015 with No Comments

One of my favorite watercolor techniques is the line and wash. It means using either ink, pen or even pencil to draw or sketch then overlay it with watercolor wash (diluted watercolor paint). I mostly sketch using a pen because I prefer the spontaneity of capturing what I see around me. This cactus painting was sketched from one of our newly bought cactus plant which sadly died a few days ago. It was a good thing I sketched it so I … Read More

Spirit Not of Fear

Preserved 2 Too often I work things in my head before I even attempted anything. Because of that I tend to shrink away from the actual work that God has prepared for me to do.

I can … Read More

Thorns and the Armor of God

by Elisa Choi Ang on September 15, 2015 with No Comments

Despite the prickly appearance, cactus is beautiful. Somehow the cactus’ thorns reminded me of the armor of God. Ephesians 6:13-18 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all … Read More

Lead me to the Rock

by Elisa Choi Ang on September 11, 2015 with No Comments

It was a windy day when I sketched this almost bare tree. It was about to rain and the sky was gloomy. I sketched quickly feeling the wind on my face and hair. I like how the thin tree stood amidst the rocks and inches away from the boulder. It was a lovely sight as if they were communicating with each other. Psalm 61:1-3 Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I … Read More

I actually met this elderly man twice in the bus in two separate weekends. He usually read something off his Ipad. Must be an interesting read in this long journey.
