3 tops - Lileen

The above 3 tops design were made for a friend who requested me to do it after watching one of design i did for a person who went MIA. (see the story of it in my previous post). Glad that she likes it, even though she would have wanted something better and nicer for the crown design (3rd design... )

I took quite a bit of time from concept, to drawing for approval to the execution itself. Though the price tag compared to the workload does not match, i thought it was worth it.

Gift - Emix

The tot just came to me to do this for a friend. Glad that she appreciates it. Whether she uses it, not within my control.

Gift - Tengfu

Another design made for one of my buddy, Tengfu. The design comprises of his initials, "LTF". i combine it to become a sort of logo.

Again, no visible, but has meaning to it. This is just so my kinda style.

Cap - Red plus White

This is the one where i added more sewing onto my previous completed cap. i took another 3 hours i think just on that sewing alone. Never easy man, never easy.

As mentioned, i used it for my own usage in the end. Unique and totally my kinda style.

Cap - No 6

Another cap used for my own usage. I have been using the number "6" whenever i can. From my jersey number to incidents where i have to choose a number, 6 always come to mind. Dont ask me why... I dont know why i used 6 too.

Cap - White 4

i orginally did this design, but later added something else. This is shown from a post on top. a bit different about this design is the No. "4". It is actually a iron-on patch, but i used it to be sewn onto the cap instead and at the back instead of the normal front part of the cap. In the end, i used it for my own usage.

Cap - Think

Same as my previous post on "toothy". This was one of the 2 "reddish" coloured caps. Not one of my favourites, but still carrying a hope that it will be sold off one day.

Cap - Toothy

I kinda bought the wrong cap colour in the first place. But in the end did this and it has been with me since then. Hard to sell, and i dont forsee myself wearing it.

White Tee - Cross

I did this during a DIY workshop in school where we got tshirt and canvas shoe to design.

Did it freehand and managed to impress one of the school staff who was taking a look at that time. He got his hands "itching" and he did one freehand design himself too in the end, and it was great i must say.

Havent wear it since.. Decided to post it online soon for buyers.
ANyone?

Belt

This is one of my strangest designs. On a leather belt, i actually used fabric paint on it. Doesn't seem right at all.

But still, the design was kinda spontaneous. Basically i used positive words like 'everlasting, forever, eternity' combining it together to make a design.

was for myself, i am still using it today even after 1 year plus

Cap - Ragged

As mentioned in my previous post, this was one of the 2 caps which i did for the unknown girl who went MIA after that.

Despite that, this design was serious so my kinda style, so personally i like it a lot that i could wear it myself. Still, most probably i would still post it online to look for interested buyers instead.

Cap - Simply Jodi

This cap along with the one on top brought me a lesson. I was approached by a girl online whom i do not know personally to design something for her.

Giving me the freedom to design anything for her, she only gave me her preferred colours. Anyway, the main thing after completing 2 caps as per her request, she just went MIA. i did not have her hp number and could only pm her through WHOLIVESNEARYOU. Simply said, she fly kite on me.

Despite that, the 2 designs brought me opportunities. One of my friend saw the design i did in the end got me to design 3 of her tops. Of course i was paid for the job. I was glad that she was satisfied on my designs.

Quite an experience just based on 2 designs i did.

Cap - 3 brown buttons

Again, the first few caps that i did. and those on mesh cap, i usually did sewing for it since the colour was black and using fabric paint would not be obvious at all.

Simple simple, but in the end, i redo it and change it as shown in my previous post. Can you spot it?

Cap - Freedom

The concept of this cap is a bit similar to one previous post on "ANGEL".

I used bright colours to express the design. But what makes it tough for this is on the letter "F", i actually went to sew a border around it. It was extremely tough to sew through the front portion of the cap. I practically bended my needle quite badly in the process.

This is another cap that i used as a gift. The word in it is "SIMPLE". i tried to make it kinda complicated so that people have to think twice before realising the word.

I want to show the contradiction of human thinking at times, when certain things or situation which ought to be simple, is often made more complicated by humans' thinking or actions.

But for the gift for my friend, she is a simple person by nature. So this cap i tot naturally suits her well.

Cap - Cross

This took me a long time to make. First to come out with the design and concept, then buying and cutting of materials and finally the work itself.

It was meant for a contest held by Bugis Junction. So once i send the application in, the cap was practically gone. No more hopes of getting it returned.

Cap - Big brown

This was one of first few caps design. In the end, i used as a gift for one of my buddies as part of his birthday present.

Imagine, the button at the side, it is quite expensive man... when i bought it at spotlight.

One of my simpler designs that i have made

LTB photos

Another one of my "art" for my community service project. This suddenly came to mind one day and i basically drew "cute" pictures of my group members and frame it. Took several pictures and send it to them.

Guess at first was trying to use it as a way to bond us together, like something in common for all to share. Hope it did really had some effects in the end.

LTB Logo

This is mainly created by me when my group involving in a community service project had to came up with something for our group logo. We had a few designs made by some of us, and in the end, we decided on this.

Drawn on different tees, it is used to represent our group name and the event/awareness program we are carrying out. That is to promote environmental awareness and practice

OP Tee

This is one of my "not so good" designs. I kinda made mistakes after mistakes while doing it, causing the final product to have a few coats of paint. I placed it aside, not willing to wear for myself. In the end, i posted it online, to see if somehow there was an interested party.

Lucky me, there was... and i managed to sold it and regain my cost price for the tee. It was a blank OP tee shirt btw

Canvas shoe

This is another of my experiment DIY. Bought a cheapo canvas shoe and design it.

The design has a meaning to it, but it is not visible, cos only i know what the design is about. Just know that it is actually letters of "DT" over the 2 shoes.

Know what DT stands for?

This was kinda last min thingy when i knew quite late that it was one of my friend's 21st birthday. I needed to raise funds for one of community service project work and did a series of notebook designs.

She was one of the first few buyers to support the cause. So as part of her birthday and a Thank You for supporting me, i drew a simple "pic" of her and frame it up.

Did not cost much, did not take a lot of time. But it was with a lot of Thankfulness and appreciation in this piece of work.

Cap - 3 Buttons

This was remade in the end when a friend of mine wanted me to do something as a gift for her friend.

The 3 buttoms represented something... It had a meaning to it, but i forgotten about it already. Do note that the side is hand-sewn by me. Took almost an hour plus for it.

Notebooks - Simplicity

Below are a whole list of posts of notebooks designs i did for my school term when we had to complete a community service project. In order to raise funds, we had to sell notebooks we made for ourselves. I did all this in a rush, but luckily, i managed to gain support from friends and relatives.

Quite an experience, when i had to rush this on top of my other studies. All about time management.

Notebook - Other You

Notebook - Complexicity

Notebook - Leaves

Notebook - Missing

Notebook - Gratitude

Notebook - This is a notebook

Notebook - Green & White

Notebook - Freestyle

Notebooks that i did for a community service project. I simply draw it spontaneously. No idea what i was doing that time, but i liked it. Just like what the design is about... FREESTYLE!

Janice Gift

I did this when i came to know that my online friend's birthday was coming.

Noticed the 2nd picture is cross hanging around the 2 toys. The DIY part here is the sewing of the cross... NOT the toys itself. I would have the super duper ability to do that. Anyway, glad that she like it in the end. Though simple, it was something from what i usually does.

Meiling Gift

This is probably my first DIY gift for anyone. I was working that time so i had time to do these. This came to mind and i simply just did it.

I had to shop around at Spotlight at PS for the items. Before that, i did a self-pieced wooden hut. so together with our class photos and her name, i came up with this. Lucky, we stayed near to each other. In the end, i had to pieced everything together at her block before she took it home. One pity was that i by mistake spelt her name wrongly, though it still pronounced correctly.

Cap - Journey

This would be my first cap sale. Amazingly, after posting it online, a girl replied soon enough to express her liking for this cap. Really lifted up my spirits that time to know that someone actually like it.

Journey, symbolizing the life path we each are walking. The word is curvy to represent that life is not straight forward nor easy. We each must walk around things to get things done. Footsteps to represent that we must "move" forward not staying put in life.

Cap - Angel

While thinking what to design, this is one of the few words that came to mind, "Angel"

Used bright colours to represent the bright side of it. Looks kiddy to me at times but yet simple and nice at times.

Cap - Complexicity

Word drawn here is Complexicity. Build up from the word, "Simplicity", so i converted complicated into "Complexicity"

Painted it on a baseball cap. In the end, i used as a gift during a christmas gift exchange with my group of SMU friends. received by Danson.
