Tis the season to be jolly!

Hi! First of all forgive me for abandoning this blog for quite some time…I've been busy with all sorts of mundane things *like exams* and my creative juices practically stopped flowing. But now I'm back!!!

And since December is the season of JOY, I would like to share my joy to everyone with something a little more than painted plastic bottles. Guess what! Yes! It's a MINI CHRISTMAS TREE! Woohoo! And like everything else in this blog, this Christmas Tree is a way to give new life to recycled materials with a few additional readily available household stuff.

This is just a sneak peek! Afterwards I'll be back with a "how to make" post - yes, my christmas present to all of you! So if you're bored and too broke to buy a christmas tree, stay tuned :)

Pottery Redefined - Full Moon

forgive the weird pink background…that's my watercolour box lid that I use to elevate the vase… Inspired by Chinese traditional celebration: mid autumn festival. Mooncakes. Yummmm…..

Pottery Redefined - Celia

More smoothness, less painterly. The real item has a pretty matte finishing, but somehow the picture appeared glossy. The bottom screw cap is a great idea to hold a tall candle, for example. However always make sure that the candle flame is always a few (I would say 4 or more) centimeters above the mouth to prevent the plastic from melting. Could also be hung to house mini potted plant!

Pottery Redefined - Cloudburst

Picture 1: front view

Picture2: An attempt to show the artistic dents at the mouth of the vase, which is the signature of this "Pottery Redefined" series.

Inspired by the heavy rain this morning.

Winter Series - Old Winter Song

Over the ground lies a mantle of white...a heaven of diamonds shine down through the night. It is beautifully ironic that the cold winter is the season most filled with warmed hearts.

Autumn Series - For As Long As I Live

Autumn is often associated with solemnity, maturity and pensiveness. However, this piece takes on a different approach to autumn. Rather than being carried by the gloom of the dull and cold sky, I choose savour the rich colours of the leaves, floating about in the air. The child-likeness of the pink maple leaves remind us that we may keep that child-like charm and cheerfulness for as long as we live - even when autumn and maturity come.

Bag Series - Made with Love

Painted for my beloved roomie, Evelyn :) May this bag bring you an everlasting summer amidst London's autumn chill...
