Standby... please

. . . Folks, it's been a while, I know . . .
I haven't been able to keep up posting here for some time.
Exams and other college and work tasks are occupying just too much time. Since I'm coming nearer to my finals, I had to choose making this my no.1 priority.
But it's not much longer till I'm going to be through with that and will finally be able to catch up with blogging. (YAY)
Soooo looking forward to it! ^-^
Hope you're going to stick around and come back to my blog from time to time in the next week(s).
I promise there will be news! ;)

Thank you all so much for stopping by! I appreciate your patience! =)
LOVE,
Tiki

P.S.: To give you a visual idea of how even the free-time sunny Sundays are spent in front of the laptop :. . . (It's looking nicer than it feels, working and learning when the weather actually screams for swiming pool and barbecue with friends...)

Summer Work-Station ... doing it the tiki-way

mondayMAKINGS #5 ~3D Chair design & rendering~

Maybe you didn't notice it, but last week the mondayMAKINGS had to be skipped. =/
Having some exams in college next week, I'm kinda busy I have to admit...

But today I'll give out a quick post nonetheless. The following picture is a simple rendering exercise I did for a Cinema4D course about 2 years ago. It was all 3d-built, formed, textured, lighted and rendered with Cinema4D R11.
Hardest part was forming the cushions, so they look as if someone sat on the chair before... but it was fun!
I love working with C4D. Visualizations are my favourite part of working on an architecture design. ^^

Tiki's DIYary #3 ^-^...today : ~~ "Good Morning, Mr.Magpie" Bag ~~

Say hello to Mr.Magpie!
. . . I'm really excited to present my third  Making-Of to you guys! *yay* ^^

This time I tried something else and am not un-proud to upload my first DIYary VIDEO! . . . ;)

As in the last DIYary, it shows the steps from a plain blanco cotton bag, to a unique accessory tote,

that you can even purchase in my shop !!! =D)

Hope you will enjoy. . . 

(and maybe feel inspired to try it yourself, when you see how easy it is;)

qick HUEsday ...sketching CI colors

aaaannnd. . . it's tueHUEsday again!
Man, how fast this week faded away. So much do-tos for college.
But . . . take this quick titbit of palette making from today's REviving my Colourlovers.com account

Started a tumblr microblog last week. . .
rather a personal virtual refugium for visualizing my dream of a life (to be) . . .
Maybe the universe will start turning spirits towards removing the barriers on my path to reach that dream. . .if only I visualize it often and stern enough ;b

Anyways: these were my color choices for the layout. Liked them enough to make a palette. . .

What do you think of it?! =)
