3d Hello Kitty Sculpture
Back in the day when I was in school, I used to take extra units if I was able to so I could squeeze in some extra Art classes. One of my favorite classes was an Intro to 3D class taught by one of my all-time favorite professors Robert Walker (I studied Art History with him too… And I don’t think I fell asleep much when he taught compared to the lady).
One of the many things I loved about this teacher was he let me do whatever I wanted… And just helped me create the best thing I could at the time. He even taught me it was okay to create artwork that dealt with youthful themes, which can often be looked upon as childish or juvenile (adjectives I do not really like when discussing my work). What he told me was something like, “there is nothing wrong with exploring themes dealing with childhood, innocence and nostalgia.” And that is pretty much the story of my life!
Anyway… Here is a scanned image from my scrapbook:
The project had to do with taking something from your childhood and either making it bigger or shrinking it down. I chose to make my tiny Hello Kitty eraser bigger. As you can see, I had some issues with proportions…
My Mom laughed when I was working on this… She said big Kitty-chan definitely needed to go on a diet!
Just wanted to share. I love seeing other people’s Hello Kitty inspired projects — so if you have any, share! ^_^

I snapped some photos for your viewing pleasure… This Gift Gate was the first one I visited on my first day in the Philippines!

Check the sales aisle too — being one of the popular Gift Gates, they move merchandise regularly…

Hello Kitty Gift Exchange/Swap Update
I am so excited about the Hello Kitty Gift Exchange/Swap that is going on right now on Hello Kitty Junkies! I finished packing everything into a box and thought, “What else can I do to make it special for my Hello Kitty recipient Suey? I know! I will do some origami!” So, I remember I saw a pattern for Hello Kitty (head and body). I googled and found Cute Kitty. I also wanted to make a bow, which lead me to find Origami Christmas Bow. And this is the result:
Kitty-chan’s head and body are made from 15cm x 15cm squares. For her bow, I used a 7.5cm x7.5cm square. I messed up on my first Kitty (you do not even want to see it!) so I took paper from that to make her bow.
Origami Kitty’s body doesn’t really look proportional to the real Hello Kitty’s body… But it makes sense. Handmade things always seem to add a little bit of extra umph (at least for me). It shows that you took some time to make a special effort, so I hope she likes it… Actually, I cannot wait for her to get this package. ^-^

I got an e-mail from Kimberly on Saturday,
Okies…so yea I got a Hello Kitty tattoo, it’s a cupcake Hello Kitty one. It combine both of my loves..baking and Hello Kitty…so peace here you go!
With an attachment of her kittilicious tattoo:
Kawaii, neh? Her tattoo is so adorable! I love it! ^-^ Kinda inspires me to get one too (I am too chicken though… the permanence scares me a little bit more than the pain). But this is sweet. I love that she mixed her loves. Mine would combine Hello Kitty, the color pink and design… Maybe a Japanese theme too. Anyway, I think her tattoo artist did a great job with the details like shading on the bow and the cupcake paper folds.
Filed under Hello Kitty Art, Hello Kitty Customization, Hello Kitty Fashion | Comments (2)I <3 KT Stenciled Tote vs. My Washing Machine
Argh… This is the first time this has happened:
My washing machine thought it would be fun to shred my canvas tote bag… Which in a fight of Tote Bag vs. Washing Machine, my poor little tote bag got seriously KTFO’d (knocked the f* out!)
So, I was thinking… Maybe I can cut out the stenciled parts and sew them onto another bag, kind of like an applique… One thing is for sure, I will be hand washing these bad boys in the next round (err, there will be no more rounds).
