I am very interested in Calla Lily these days and I think I'll paint several of them. They have very pretty shapes and different colors.

Finally I got some time to do original painting. My baby daughter has been sick many times after going to nursery school. I almost spent all my time visiting hospitals and feeding her medicines. I hope she can get over with it soon.

The following is an example room view of the painting.

 

Joy of Reading Girl Reading Laptop Skin

 

Girl Reading Laptop Skin

This is a laptop skin that is just made from the Girl Reading Print. I like the color very much. It is laminated so that you can clean the surface using a wet towel. The laptop skin is made exactly according to the size that the customer required. I rearrange  a bit of the design to fit perfectly of the skin size.

This is a lovely design with a very traditional warm colors. It suits those who likes to wear brown, green, etc  earth colors.

Merry-go-Round: What's Your Purple Cow?

It's time for another ride on the merry-go-round! Jump on and join a group of 9 artists/crafts-women as they link around the world and tell you a little about their lives in art and craft.

This month topic is: "What's your purple cow".

This is a very interesting question. The meaning of the question refers to Seth Godin who said:  "that the key to success is to find a way to stand out and be remarkable - to be the purple cow in a field of monochrome Holsteins".

In this post, I'll talk a bit about my purple cow and later I'll introduce the purple cow from my fellow merry-go-round author Mariana from Florcita's Art.

Actually I am not so sure on my purple cows. All the time when I created something, I always ask my husband what he thinks and try to get some idea if it is good or bad. My husband as a pure mathematician who studies something on symmetric always points out something very funny such as this is too long and this is too over there.

I only get the confirmation that something is good when someone bought the thing that I created. But the interesting thing is that people like different things. There are pieces in terms of my prints that people buy more than the others. Does it mean that these pieces are better than the others?

Spring - Order the Print

I like the Spring very much. I like the green and the flowers. You feel the sunny spring days with the flower and wet green smell all over the mountain. We were so free at that time. There were so much poetic feelings in you. We were day dreaming a lot and easily moved by small little things. I think this painting depict the feeling very well. This is my favorite and I want it to be a purple cow, but it doesn't sell well as others.

One of the best sellers is the Relaxing Near a Pond. This is one of my favorites as well. The beauty of this print is that it is much more beautiful when you look at the prints then on the screen. It is very dreamy and the whites are shine among the rest of the objects.

I guess the purple for me or for everyone is something very distinct and unique. I am not sure how my art is dinstinct and unique. But I always keep thinking on this and hope one day I'll truely achieve this goal. One thing is definitly sure for me is that I'll try my best to work on it.

Now let me introduce the wonderful work from Florcita's Art. Mariana's speciality is felt and ceremic art. I love the flow of lines and the inoccent feeling of her art. The unique styles are all over her products such as felted bags, ceremic tiles and felted wraps. I think the best is to show you some of her creations for you to see how distinct her work is:

Wekeends and Holidays at Andrews Terrace Sembawang for Short Term Accommodation

We have been spending most of the weekends at the Andrews Terrace house near Sembawang park and beach. It is so much different there from the current place that we live at Clementi that is surrounded by so many people. Singapore population is growing tremendously from 2 million when I came about 15 years ago to now almost 5 million. I obviously feel the crowd that wasn't existed before in the Clementi area.

The Andrews Terrace House is quite and surrounded by lush greenery that is so close to nature yet also very convenient for eating and shopping.

Tomorrow is a Muslim holiday Hari Raya Haji in Singapore, we are planning to spend the long weekend there.

Since we love spending holiday there, we think maybe it is better to rent out the place for short-term accommodation as well. It will be a great place for weekend and holiday get away and relaxing.

If you are interested and want out to find more about it, please visit a special blog dedicate to the house at Andrews Terrace House.  It will answer questions from facility, environment, check-in and out procedure and prices.

Girl and Horse Equestrian Theme Flower Garden Print and Laptop Skins

Order the Print

I have a customer enquery on equestrian theme prints with a beautiful girl. I came up with this little girl that is added into the girl female series.

I guess she doesn't look quite like a rider. I need to add a hat and a pair of boots to make her a little horse rider. Somehow I like this relaxing posture. Maybe I 'll make another one later with a rider costume.

 

My baby daughter recently somehow always hug me and says: " I miss you". I am so moved every time she says so. This is how the posture and the expression of the girl came from.
