Bracelets, 2011.

I learned to make beaded daisy chains when I was still single-digit age. One day, I got nostalgic and wanted to try making them again. This happened. :)

Only four in the world, each one of a kind. Many thanks to my cat Dora for not hiding them under the couch. Best assistant ever.

Vertical banner, 2011.

Event banners for the Perth arm of MoMo. It was tricky to find a good photo of the Perth skyline, which is still a work in progress at the time of this journal entry. It was also tricky to get a good photo of this banner on my little mobile phone with my shaky hands.

Layout & composition, graphic editing.

Perzine/artzine, 2009-present.

mélange (2009)
32pp, 1/4-sized DL, b&w.
Full of pictures, designery & words on becoming yourself as you grow up, evolving as you say goodbye to old habits. Out of print.

mélange #2: sensualist (2010)
32pp, 1/2-sized (A5), b&w.
From Black Budgie Zines: Mélange #2: Sensualist is a beautiful and tongue-in-cheek journey through one's relationship with sustenance and alcohol. From the 5 senses of wine to anatomizing a hangover, Sandy's meditations on food and drink are both entertaining and enlightening in their exploration of what food means to us and how it connects us with each other. Out of print.
