Illuminated night in Sydney

Two nights were spent to visit light artworks that were displayed throughout Sydney CBD. Even though the nights were freezing and wet, it was worth visiting the city for Vivid Light Festival. Luna and I attended Vivid on the 1st of June and on the 9th of June, exploring Sydney a bit more for the first time. Those nights were so crowded that it was hard to try and take photos without having other people's silhouettes intervening. Nonetheless, the photos turned out great and it was worth being out there, exploring our city.

Now, you guys shall view some photos that we took on these two colourful nights. We will also add in some photos we took when Luna and I decided to travel to a place near my university of a beautiful peace garden at Chatswood.

Valentine's Day project.

So, as mentioned before in my previous post -- I was working on a project. The post title says it.

Sometime near the end of January, I was talking to a friend telling them I wanted to make roses for the group and it resulted in making 230 roses in 8 days time. I started on the 4th of February and finished on the 12th. I didn't think I would make it but I guess I was being tenacious and consistent the whole way, along with some unwanted but enjoyable distractions.


My materials were assorted coloured origami paper (that can be bought from daiso or online), as well as some A4 coloured paper that I happened to have, garden wire and small metal/aluminium buckets. Since I was making for about 10 people, I had to buy ten buckets, more than 150 sheets of origami paper and two 50 metres garden wire. Roughly under $50 I'd say.

I barely asked for help in this, especially because the ones I would usually ask were the ones who I was giving the roses to.

So, I trialed and and error'ed before to see how many roses I would need and it turns out 23 roses fits. The origami size paper was the best size to work with since I was trying to work with A4 size square and they were too big.
