Opmay: November 2011

http://opmay.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 28, 2011. I'm even slightly shamed to show you my old desk, but it did last me through multiple moves in college then some post-college shenanigan. Now I'm an adult! Friday, November 18, 2011. Although It is good to be back, I am missing my carefree vacation in Taiwan. Traveling abroad has left me with new revelations and a shift in priorities, hopefully these fond feelings will stick around long enough to make a lasting impact. Large soup dumplings to-go!

Opmay: Eggbot

http://opmay.blogspot.com/2011/12/eggbot.html

Sunday, December 18, 2011. It is a designer's dream to be able to print on spherical surfaces such as an egg, lightbulbs, christmas ornaments, etc. and that is exactly what an Eggbot will do. My friend introduced me to this nifty machine that he already purchased, and I am totally psyched to try it out. Imagine all the possibilities this open-source, build-it-yourself machine. Perhaps this will make it onto your Christmas list in time! Details on how it works purchase here: egg-bot.com.

Opmay: October 2011

http://opmay.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 14, 2011. Scenery aside, I am very excited for the variety of food to come. Taiwan is known for Night-markets, which are open into wee hours of the night with carts that sell ' small eats' all along the streets. These markets always surprise me with innovative combinations of ingredients and flavors. Clockwise: taro ice cream on crush peanuts wrapped in flaky rice crepe, man making 'Oil-rice', freshly steamed black sesame bun. And lastly, my mom's cooking! Wednesday, October 5, 2011.

Opmay: June 2011

http://opmay.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 29, 2011. All of the sudden, this 'pseudocereal' Quinoa (keen-wa) is everywhere, featured in magazines, in restaurant menus and people are talking about it. Plentiful in nutritional benefits, quinoa is also very versatile in cooking. With a couscous like texture and a slight nutty flavor, it is enjoyable cold or hot once cooked. This is my usual go-to dish when making quinoa - original recipe. Soybeans, and its the miso ingredient that really gives the dish body flavor. Ingredients top do...

MAKE IT / 8. Today we have natalie. I have been complaining that there are rarely any camera straps I love to look at. and the ones i DO love, are quite a lot of money. Remember those beautiful woven ones from the 70’s, where did they all go? So today, we are making a DIY camera strap that sort of blew my mind! Totally needs to make an etsy shop full of these, right? What you’ll need:. 2 yds cotton webbing. We used 1 1/2 inch natural cotton). Metallic leather or vinyl. Let’s get to it…. Small side note, ...

http://www.designlovefest.com/2012/03/traveling-together

And I had never explored london. we had. Idea what the “hip” areas were, and we just wanted it to be perfect. for the start of our london trip, we chose to stay at the town hall hotel. And it was a legit choice for sure. I was immediately intrigued by the unique juxtaposition of old and new going on with the design of the hotel. they have all these little surprises spread around the rooms. Brass animals hiding places, unexpected furniture…). Side story: jen left her phone in a cab on the way to the hotel.

Opmay: July 2011

http://opmay.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Been spending time outdoors, taking in the abundant length of the sunlight. After dinner walks are most enjoyable for me during civil dusk, when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon in the evening. This light creates a soft ambient glow upon everything. However, looking upwards is a stark contrast perspective, it often reminds me of The Empire of Light painting by surrealist René Magritte. As with all things few minutes can make such a dynamic change. Thursday, July 7, 2011.

Opmay: Moving forward

http://opmay.blogspot.com/2012/01/moving-forward.html

Monday, January 16, 2012. The new year feels the same, but priorities are shifting, and new goals for this year are put into action. I'll post these goals up soon, so you can hold me accountable for them! In the meantime, I present to you the next Baftani collaboration. As upsetting as this might sound, the winter is just starting to pick up, so if you would like to a cozy indoor hobby such as knitting, I've got just the event on Saturday, February 4th. The talented Miss Pegah. And a crafting goodie bag!

Opmay: September 2011

http://opmay.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 30, 2011. For the annual KickBall dance, I decided to wear the one thing that I've always wanted to wear but perhaps got too old to - a tutu skirt! Sunday, September 25, 2011. I hate to see summer go, so in an effort to welcome the change of season, I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies. Altering the original recipe. Tuesday, September 6, 2011. And if I was miniature, this would be my oasis. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
