Tea Time again....

Seems to be in a painting mood this week hehe .... so here's to show off another piece done on a tea pot-shaped plaque ;)) Painting was completed within the day....

So now I pray that the mood remains a lot longer so that I can paint a lot more ... oh dear!!!! MUST focus!!!!!!

That's all for today ... taking time off to go see my girl in Banting ... have a great day ya ;)

The Completed Story...

The mood to paint came back today... been a bit laid back since 2 weeks ago :( doing minor things here and there ... very much touch and go ...

The egghouse finally is complete. Ideas created a storm in the brain ... no worries, no short circuit, I'm still OK hehe... and the hands did the magic (???). If only I'm like this ... can switch on and off at will... wouldn't it just be great??? Unfortunately... most of the times, when I switch off.... I really am groping in the dark looking for the switch again!!!! *sigh* Anyway... refer to my post on Aug4 ... that was where I stopped... and it remained as it was until today...

The egghouse as it is today ...... ;)) voila.....













I also completed the cover of the cookie jars ... which I left untouched since about 2 months ago... just 1 last one to complete...and it took me 2months!!!! Oh dear.... :(


OK...that's it again for now... back to the studio... I think...

Mimi's OTHER Portmeirion Collection

Mimi came to me with a few Portmeirion plates ... commissioning me to paint the designs on some signage plaques and a tea-box. It was a tall order I thought, since I only have the plates to refer to for colour and pattern guidance .... no notes, no nothing on how to draw and paint!!! Oh well... I had to rely on experience and my sense of colour and the good old photostat machine and tracing paper haha...

Anyway... on the whole... I gave myself a pat on the back... for work well done ... muahahahahaha ... or so I assume hehe ... have a look see below *wink wink*....

Signage to her show apartment ... Beautiful Pottery is the name... a design I adapted from a wall paper border I found a loooong time ago

Pink Parrot tulips (Tulipa liliaceae) leading into the guest washroom

The sign on the master bedroom speaks for itself ... lily flowered azalea (Rhododendron lilliforum) was the choice

A small plaque of harebells (Campanula rotundifolia) to hold keys ... "must be small", she says..."very small space on the wall by the door" ...

..... and treasure flower (Gazania ringens) on the tea box .....

...so shouldn't I be happy huh???? ... that's all folks ... ;)) more to come ...
