I couldn't believe I would have a real chance in winning from Reader's Digest Asia caption contest and yet here is the first prize!
 |
| The Complete Calligraphy Stationery Set |
It was gorgeous looking kit. It was funny after
Reader's Digest Asia sent me the tracking number, I was frequently checking
DHL. I saw the package's journey in real-time whether it was held up or if it was en route. lolz

| The nibs, the stamps, how-to mini-books |
This little loot gave possibilities to make me try my hand in being creative. Lolz. I just realized we shouldn't discount those grade school art subjects/projects, they will come in handy! I remember my art teacher gave us a calligraphy project and I distinct recall how challenging it was. Haha. I nearly bribe a fellow classmate with my snack to do the assignment since he was a Jedi-master with his pencil. Of course, I didn't since I felt that I've cheated myself so I worked on it. My art teacher gave me a passing score for the effort. Lolz. Ah, kid memories....
No, I will not be negative about the experience. I will meet the challenge with a smile and lots of perseverance. '☺

Think steady hands. '☺ I can't wait to try these techniques. Definitely, will be doing a lot of practice.

| More techniques |
I think going slow will do for me so I won't get too frustrated with my own output. Haha. Oh, before I forget here was what Reader's Digest wants captioned.

Here was my entry :
