A Shade of Dream

Oh. Finally,  after a while!

I can't express how much I missed blogging. Today, I want to start off by posting an art content. In this post, the art itself is a creation of a civil engineering student. She is a lovely friend of mine named Junisa who is usually called Jujuy. 

Are you curious already?

Lets take a look by clicking the link down below to view more! :)

The Oh, So Fancy! scrapbook was named so because on the first hand, it has colourful papers and I created custom front & back covers using the cut-outs from fashion magazine. I used the birdie Harry Winston's ad campaign which is one of my ultimate favourite, it's the one which you can see on the sidebar. This scrapbook was started back in the days when I was still becoming a crazy fashion-minded person on July 2008. I have several scrapbooks which is filled thematically. This one contains more personal side of my own self-expression which is shared artistically through collages, drawings, and stuff. It is also opened for some of my close friends to contribute their expression.

After Jujuy have returned the scrapbook, I felt like changing the covers into these (below). It's because I don't get 'the connection' of the covers anymore. For the front cover (right), I combined pictures found in pinterest and an old saved picture of Gemma Ward on a Vogue Italia's fashion editorial. I also put the quote:

"Life is more than just an art"

The quote reminds me not to overreact. When you're into something, especially the thing that relates to worldly life, don't go "too much". As in this case, I'm into artsy stuff. I don't have to take a pride of it, must not underestimate those who don't understand art, and so forth. Sometimes, I saw many people (including me) tend to be proud of something they are into which can be considered: arrogant. Be chill. If you enjoy something, be grateful for Allāh has given us the five senses to relish His generosity through many forms which can reflect blissfulness inside of us. More than that, life is bigger than whatever it is.

Thank you Jujuy, for your sharing your dreams here. It somehow gave me stronger belief that dreams are not just dreams. Dreams are visions that keep us living. Dreams are places we want to go and actually, every human are inherently given the ability to reach their aspirations. Yes, we can. That's why there will always be the formula to make our dreams come true. Each person has their own concoction to work their magic, and Allāh's will to take us to the place we have dreamt about. in syā Allāh..
