Nail Polish as Clothes Marker


If you are living in a shared apartment or room with people not your relatives, you must experience what its like to lose your personal property such as clothes hangers in your closet when someone simply took it or used it for their laundry.

Here's how to retrieve your stuff just in case you need it for yourself and avoid discussions when
the other person think it is theirs.

Mark at the top portion of the clothes hangers if you think you will be using it too for white clothes. I have mine at the bottom coz I don't want the marker too visible. 


Materials/Procedures:
1. Clothes hangers
2. Nail polish or paint
3. Marked  the clothes hanger with your choice of color of nail polish. Let it dry. This will be your marker in them.
4. When you need to retrieve them, tell them you place all your stuff with the same mark. Show the rest as a proof.

Create an Art Work Using Your Cellphone Camera Effects


This beautiful flower in my office's hallway caught my attention and while waiting for a friend; decided to be the star of my next creative piece.

Left my digital camera at home so I opted to use for my humble but always ready Nokia C3 phone to capture this beauty. However, the lighting inside the area was so poor that I couldn't capture the rich color of the plant. Then I observed that I could play with the camera's effects: greyscale, normal, sepia and negative. When I get home, I collage the pictures, place it side by side and a simple art emerged from what was an experiment just little later.

Try it for yourself. Get one thing and take photos of it using your phone's different camera effects. Have it printed and then frame. Simple but a statement piece worthy to be place in your room.

Make a Gift Wrapper Wall Frame


Mona Lisa's wall frame had been sitting for quite some time in the corner of my room in my parent's house. I like the replica of the world's best known art work- Mona Lisa, with her enchanting smile, an enigmatic model, with a charm I wanted to describe as beautiful, yet I also wanted to describe as simple, plain and ordinary. Somehow, it seems I experienced the same dilemma art interpreters, art enthusiasts and fanatics felt when they saw this uncanny piece of art.
