Thoughts at the art gallery

After finishing my errands in the city, I decided to go to the Art gallery. 
I have realised that I have not been there for nearly a decade. 

There were few things that I have realised while I was walking around the gallery.

First thing was the facet that me walking through the exhibition rooms made me see flash backs from the past. A teenage girl walking, looking at the paintings with her first camera, photographing her favourite paintings. Stopping at paintings pained by people she has read in art class text books and then dreaming to see many more paintings in Europe. 

Another thing was that that dream of a teenage girl seeing more paintings where still there standing in front of those paintings.

Today was a day to reflect on myself and I am glad that I walked to the art gallery and spend some time there.

Headphones DIY

Recently I have noticed the fake leather part of my headphones started to come apart.
I bought these maybe 3 years ago and I still like them! 
They are good noise canceling DJ headphones from Audio technica.
I enjoy my music and at the time,  these were on special and was about 2000yen (about AU$20,US$20) off the original price. 


I could not continue using it without fixing it. I came up with the idea of covering it with some kind of ribbon. But I thought using normal ribbon might be boring and I was nit keen to use any thing to glue it to the head phones. 
In the end I used black and red leather twine. 

I rapped around black leather twine around the headphones firmly from the right side to the left. I tucked the ends that they will not come undone. 
When all of it was covered, I randomly rapped the read leather twine on the top of the black leather.
And, this is how it turned out!!!
I am really happy how it turned out. I like it even more that it feels more personalised. :)

I now want to do more DIY and crafting :) 
See you soon!
