Spike Seahorses

Three Spike Seahorses

The last time I made this spike seahorse was more than 10 years ago - see Mr. Spiky from 2009. How time flies.
Revisited Carmen Barrera's tutorial and here are the results.
I used 20 gauge wire for the spikes instead of 21 gauge as recommended in the tut.
As a result, blistered finger from the wire bending.
But, it was fun making them though.

Sunday Morning Walk

Morning Walk at Kuching Waterfront and Darul Hana Bridge

Instead of driving around, we decided to take a morning walk along the Kuching Waterfront and the surrounding areas.
Weather was great this morning. 
The sun was still hiding behind the clouds when we started.
In total, it was a nice 6 km walk.
Here are some photos I took of our morning walk.
Have a great Sunday everyone.
