This other blog (see link below) was created to display my decorative items for sale. However as time passes by, the time to paint for sale just eluded me

No special reason as to why I still have this blog... maybe it's just to remind me..... that's where and how I started to be where I am now :)

All items shown are hand-painted personally by yours truly... but now I focus on commissioned jobs. So, I do take orders... but the queue is long... sorry :( .... but if you are willing to wait in the queue... I'm more than obliged to paint for you..... It would be an honour!!!!

Latest addition...

Had a few more pieces painted other than that for Ita. Here you will see 2 rice bins and a toilet roll mini cabinet.



Painted poppies on this bin. Lizana carried this small wooden bin all the way from Korea. Finished painting this one whilst I was caring for Syukrina in JB... but had it varnished just recently. It has been there on my shelf for some time now ...waiting for its mistress to come collect.... so here I show off my handiwork hehe.



Painted poppies all round the bin. It's distinctively my style of painting... I do not normally sit my designs symmetrically or smack right in the centre unless specifically requested.



Hydrangeas were painted on the rice bin and toilet roll mini cabinet for Noorazma. This is a classic example of hydrangeas on contrasting backgrounds giving off distinctive effects... but both look equally good... don't you think so????



Rice bin was based with dark green... and pastel hydrangeas painted all round it. Did this whilst in the hospital with Ira. It's finished but yet to be varnished... in time for Noorazma to collect on Monday ;)


It has been quite some time since I last painted hydrangeas on a dark background... so this was a welcomed diversion from my current paintings on items for Ita hehe...




And finally the last one for today... hydrangeas on the white mini cabinet. I quite like the look of this cabinet... I had it ordered just for myself. What shall I paint on it??? ... ummm don't know yet. It may remain as it is for quite sometime for all I know muahahahahaha ... another UFO... that's sooooo Nora !!!!! Anyway... this item was completed in JB too ....






I'm actually dying to show off the "kendi" that I made over for Gee... but since I could not find the time to send them to her yet... I'm still bound by my promise to her that I shall NOT have it posted until she has sighted them :(

At the moment... I'm painting teddy bears on a bin (half way through now)... had 2 dustbins and 2 display cabinets basecoated all ready to be painted on... apart from the fridge that I'd started last month!!!! Ita will be sending more stuffs soon... together with my shoe cabinet ;)

Busy, busy, busy .......

Salam Kak Nora. I just love the pices in green...besides the fact green is a fave colour, I always find these pieces very "homely" and comforting!

Maybe I'll commission you to do something for my sister's new kitchen...

Nora, your hydrangeas are gorgeous.
I usually like roses, esp old english roses...as a matter of fact I like anything that has flowers on it. I do a little bit of crafts too.
