Sweet Lychee 3 Year Anniversary Update

I'm really sorry for the lack of current blog posts, I've been juggling new JOBS, feverishly working on my upcoming blog anniversary project & prioritizing my future goals.

I did want to share the adorable present, I bought for my 3 year blog anniversary; I met the lovely & talented Cari N. of Miemiko Atelier at last year's "A Pinch of Salt for the Holidays" event & discovered my stationary soul sister.

When I found out Cari sold custom return address stamps, I decided to follow my secret heart's desire & purchase a personalized stamp with my blog's website. I'm thrilled with the outcome & can hardly wait to write more handwritten letters.

I have some things I'm working on for my upcoming 3 year blog anniversary & I just wanted to express my continued appreciation to everyone who reads my blog.

 ♥ Sweet Lychee

Remi Mead's "Summer Lovin'" Art Gallery Exhibit

When I was younger, I used to copy lines of poetry from books at my grandparents' collection, there was something heartfelt about an author's ability to articulate feelings into words. Sometimes, it's difficult for me, to translate how I'm feeling in a way that someone else might understand; one of the reasons, I feel a strong connection to creative individuals is because they utilize various mediums to convey their message (sometimes, without saying a word).

Whenever I'm fascinated with someone's work, I like to research about them & discover how their passions came about. After some investigating, I found out English was Remi Mead's second language & I thought it was lovely, how she used her art to communicate with others. Another reason I'm drawn to Remi's artwork is because we share the same appreciation for adorable & fluffy bunnies (if you're not familiar with Remi's work, she likes to incorporate these cuties in her art).

Remi's "Summer Lovin'" art gallery exhibit was absolutely stunning; I loved the way the bright colors from her artwork was intensified by Mainfest's red brick walls. Thank you Remi for reminding me that when you're authentic & produce work you believe in, the right people will gravitate towards you.

If you're in the mood for art & culture, check out Remi Mead's "Summer Lovin'" Art Gallery Exhibit held exclusively at The Manifest. "Summer Lovin'" is viewable to the public from Saturday (04.20) - Sunday (05.12.13).

Revenant "The Undeath of Ideas in Architecture" Exhibit

When I discovered Honolulu Night Market (@HNLnightmarket) was planning to feature an architecture exhibit during this month's event, I was giddy with excitement. Even though, my drawing abilities are similar to my ten year old nephew, I’m fascinated with architecture; I love how details in drawings & extensive planning translate into three-dimensional works of art. I could spend hours on the content sharing website: Pinterest, viewing architecture from around on the world, amazed by the beauty found in buildings which represent specific periods & cultures.


One reason, I'm fascinated with architecture is the ability for an individual to visually recreate an picture from their imagination. As I walked around the CoXist Studio, I couldn't help admiring the vivid details & noticing the wide range of creative interpretations of unbuilt projects. This exhibit is a wonderful example of promising young architects; I'm planning to follow their growth as architects & I'm anxiously awaiting the day one of their blueprints becomes a physical masterpiece. 

If you're a fan of architecture or someone with a sincere appreciation for creativity & design, be sure check out the talented group of up & coming architectures, "Revenant: The Death of Ideas in Architecture" exhibit held exclusively at CoXist Studio. This exhibit is a FREE event viewable to the public from Saturday (04.20) - Saturday (05.11).
