at long last, my scrappy blog's materialized :) admittedly i've been mulling over it for the longest time, because i've only just recently begun scrapping more seriously (and also because sometimes i don't exactly possess the most confidence around where my projects're concerned), but thankfully i've crawled out of that shell now (albeit very overdue-ly!).

this first post will showcase most of my works since the inception of "operation serious scrapping". to substantiate, from the time scrapping evolved from a casual, sporadic pursuit to a more frequent, almost-mandatory weekend activitiy with some serious therapeutic value.


i've always been a keen believer of the mantra that art mirrors life, and therein lies the heart behind these projects :) enjoy!
