Thank you ye all, have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dear Ye all fans, just visiting bloggers, friends and families,

The 'Thank you' artnote above is dedicate to those whom have supported and encouraged me. I will never be who I am today without your never-ending support. And thank you for all the comments on my blog that made me grow and learn everyday.

Before I end I also would like to wish everyone a very Merry Xmas and a very Happy New Year of 2010. I looked back the year 2009, I proclaimed that this isn't a good year for me! I had bad lucks, unforgettable histories and made mistakes. I hope I can go back and change that.


But as I thought, those bad lucks and mistakes changed me in some ways to be a better person. So I take that back, it's a very mesmerizing and adventurous 2009 and 2010 to be a fulfilling year for me.

A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Julie and Julia: a French cooking experience!

Do you have what it takes to cook and to cook like Julia? Recently, I've been crazy about this movie. I even plan to buy the cookbook by Julia Child, "The Art of Mastering French Cooking". Born in a family of good cooks and pastry makers, my love for cooking is never ending.

Although I only get to discover my talents in cooking while I was in Australia studying and slaving off my degree in Fashion. I can just read recipes in a cookbook and reinvent it to complement my taste butts; by adding more ingredients or change ingredients.

Now I am back here in KL and stopped cooking...you cannot have too many women in the kitchen or it will go havoc. So that is the reason why I stopped, but I never stopped researching about food and recipes. And this movie inspires me! Gosh I just love food.

My Fashion Potrait

Lady Gaga lookalike illustration

I am playing on the scrapper board on black to draw some fashion illustration. I just worked on my instinct and drew out this Lady Gaga lookalike illustration... I do not know why the drawing came out to be like her, well she's 'hot' at the moment anyway! So here it is.

Art for Grabs 12th & 13th Dec - Xmas special report

Ye all faithful followers...another wonderful event of Art for Grabs Xmas special for the year 2009. Despite the dry respond, I still get to understand my customers, the fragile market at the moment and what will drives them to buy the things that they do not need.

This time Art for Grabs has fewer crowd (compared to the previous Raya event), we analyzed the situation and came out with several circumstances: 1) a long weekend since Friday, a public holiday. 2) the program timetable most attracted activists and the 'reformasi' crowd. 3) it is still early buying gifts for Christmas. 4) the weekend falls on the middle of the month and people are broke by then. 5) my booth space is way at the back with bad 'feng shui'. 6) customers just do not wish to spent. I guess these are several possibility that caused the quiet dry respond. But at the end it is about give and take, learned something new but lost some sales.

very interesting display

Little Penang Street Bazaar 29th Nov 09

This is a tiring trip but it is all worth while. I packed up all my handmade jewelries and head to Little Penang Street Bazaar for the weekend. Unfortunately the Penang bazaar only falls on every end of the month Sunday, but the crowd is enormous; many of people from outstation, tourists and locals flooded the bazaar.

other vendors hard at sell...and look at the crowd

Some vendors are wholesaler selling products from Chatuchak or China... so Art for Grabs is still a blessing after all, purely handmade products made by the vendor/artist. Despite the humid weather and hard sell, I still come home with good sales, and I learned that there's a new place to promote my crafts in the future.

Here are some pictures on site for sharing.

My ceramic creations

I have mentioned in my previous blog that recently I joined the pottery class in my college! I had a wonderful time and learn alot from this new course! The one thing I learned about pottery and ceramics is that...all of our creations have to be bigger because after pottery firing the product will shrink by 30%. So some of my works had shrunk in size. I am very excited with my pendants, although they are not perfect but at least it has some value in it; which I can sell them at good price. Below are my new ceramic creations and I would like to share with all of you.
