Ros Singleton's roses on the small DIY wall shelf. I bought the shelf just AED7 at DAISO (Japanese shop). I made this as a gift to a dear friend of mine who has left the UAE and now back in Malaysia.

Special Gift for a Special Person

Mr. Graeme, Sabrina's Homeroom Teacher in 1B. Mr Graeme is from Scotland and he is back for good to his hometown after the school ends. So, before the school term end, Sabrina told me that she wants to give something to her teacher as souvenir.



Just a simple gift and not an expensive but it was with a sincere heart from Sabrina. A simple gift makes Sabrina happy for the whole day that she had somethig to give to her teacher. I took 2 days to paint the small MDF board with all the distraction around me. The ideas came from one photo when I surfed the net looking for inspiration.



The apple I painted refers to the book I bought a long long time ago, Handpainted Gifts for All Occasions by Kerry Trout from North Lights Books publisher.

Happy Father's Day

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to my dearest hubby. Luv u always n may our marriage lasts forever.




No special gift given but just a simple card that sabrina n me bought at one little shop in Wahdah Mall. A simple card says a thousand words. Sabrina's hand writing look just like the card's writing right ?

Tea set

My first painting on tea set, done for the Charity Bazaar. I'm very satisfied with the outcome eventhough the colors of the roses a little bit different from the original one before I put it in the oven.

The rose color before I put it in the oven .

The rose color become a little bit yellowish and became peach instead of white. You can see the difference between above picture n this picture. Overall I like it very much. Why must I heat it in the oven? The main reason is to make the painting permanent on the ceramic. And if you want to bake it, make sure you follow the paint manufacturer instruction. Some of the enamel acrylic paint can bake at range 150 degree n some paint at 180 degree. But for Enamel Acrylic Folkart, can bake at 180 degree, higher than Pebeo.

Do not afraid to bake your ceramic because the making of ceramic also involves baking in the oven.
