… Marilyn Monroe, the sexiest, most beautiful, most influential star, “world’s most advertised woman” that’s ever lived. I have seen quite a number of her photos and posters when I was younger. And everyone loves her signature pose. Don’t you?
“I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.” -Marilyn Monroe

… We (my father and I) are huge fans of Elvis. LOL. Here’s another masterpiece of mine for my final assessment back in college. It was so enjoyable to paint these characters. Beatles, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and more to come. Stay tuned!! ~ Melle

My father and I listen to the oldies all the time and we both enjoy it very much. Beatles is our all time favourite. This is one of the final assignments (illustrations) back in college, specially dedicated to my father. He really got me rolling with the oldies.
Thank you for the inspiration, father.
~Luv, Girl~ That’s my name at home.
…aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh… I love this.
Let’s get rock’n’roll baybeh !!
Have a groovy, groovy and super groovy Friday everybody !! xoxo, Melle.
I personally agree that polka dot will not get out of vogue no matter what the trend and era is. Yup, it’s so famous back in the 60s. I’m not sure if I have ever mention that I got inspired by the 60s. The decade that brought us flower power, hippies, bell bottom, hot pants, mini skirts, polka dot, Audrey Hepburn skinny jeans, Beatles suit for the men and the list goes on. Where were you when all these were happening? If a genie could grant me a wish, I wish that I could turn back time and live in the 60s. *Erm… can I have more wishes ??* 😛
While I was experimenting some new flowers for my accessories projects, I realized that my obsessions have recently expanded to involve headbands. I’ve the designs of the headband sketched. Done some drafting and finger crossed things will turn out well.
The elastic headband below is 100% handmade of polka dot and solid navy blue cotton. With the perfect match of the newly-experimented-flowers, it brings everything to perfection.
Oopsy daisy… pictures to come later.
