get crafty!

i feel like rushing to the nearest craft/art supply store. i want to buy paint, canvas bags, and brushes because i want to paint my own bag. oh, lets not forget the beads and other supplies to make my own earrings. i remember chezka referring a store in Quiapo where they sell wholesale beads and other earring supplies.

i want to get crafty again. the last time i was crafty was when i got addicted to making earrings, necklaces, and bracelets out of beads. it used to make me cross-eyed after a few hours of stringing beads into that transparent nylon thread but i still enjoyed it nevertheless. and then there was one time when i got addicted to origami after my mother bought me a set from the UNICEF store when i was a little girl. it was a Christmas thing-- to buy cards, mugs, and art kits from the UNICEF store in Yangon. plus, there was a time in fifth and sixth grade when my school had an Industrial Arts class. we sculpted dinosaurs from clay, colored by dots on humongous illustration boards, and painted. those were fun times. in high school i got carried away making a scrapbook of my life-- it was actually a requirement for graduation. Ina and i got so carried away that ours was thickest. but it was fun. really fun.

bleh. time to write an article now. so much for procrastinating.

HELP: where can i buy plain canvas bags, anyway? i also need to know where i can get t-shirts printed-- not the silkscreen kind but the kind where they'd print the graphics i'd design from Adobe Photoshop. no, it's not for a commercial purpose but for myself. i think it would be cool to wear bags and shirts that i created myself.

maybe it's time to also learn how to sew!
