    The brand of the paint and medium used in this book is Plaid/ Folk Art. If you are in Kuala Lumpur, the brand is sold in Art Friend, The Gardens.

    If you are a newbie to decorative painting, you will be surprised to find all kind and shape of brushes i.e scruffy, angle, flat, fan, filbert. Each will have different function and usage in painting.

    It’s really important to basecoat the material you want to paint. To make it more interesting, there are techniques like crackle, spattering, antiquing for more effect. Some can be done before you start painting, and some after you have painted the design.

    To start the one stroke techniques, you have to know how to load your brush. There are pictures to show each step. Of course with practice, you will get the feel of it and can start to paint with ease.

    If you have been wondering how to use fan brush, check out the worksheets on painting grass and wild flowers. It can also be used to paint waves and water.

    If you want to paint on fabric, there is special medium to be added into your paint. It will help the paint to glide over the fabric.

    There are many worksheets to practise the strokes, shown here are the one using flat brush and scruffy brush.

    In decorative painting, it is really important for you to know how to hold the brush and position your hand.

    I will usually check what brand of paints and materials used in the book. In this book, the author used assorted brands which could be found in Malaysia.

    Most decorative artist love rooster and hens. The brushstrokes shown in the book is simplified and loose.

  3. FOR SALE : 450 Decorative Borders You Can Paint by Jodie Bushman

    October 28, 2011 by admin

    Jodie Bushman has another book – The Big Book of Decorative Borders. This is another book by her. I have 2 copies of this book but only 1 is for sell. The retail price in the market is RM95.00. I am selling this for RM35 with additional RM8 as postage and handling.

    There are 12 projects with different techniques on various surface and easy to follow instructions.

    Check out the table of content.

    There’s list of materials needed. Basically if you have done decorative painting before, these are what people normally need.

    I’m interested with her suggestion to use plastic pencil case with deli paper as palette. I could have save a lot of paint because as a mom you never know when you will have time to really sit down and paint.

    These are the basic techniques on how to load the paint. She even shows how to make dots. (Note to self: get a stylus next time I shop)

    Not to scare the first timer, the first project is to do on a ready made letter rack. You just need to sand on the area where you will paint the borders.

    There are about 8 steps to follow. What a great and thoughtful gift for a house warming, don’t you think so?

    Once you feel confident, let’s move to a bigger piece like this trunk. It looks challenging but actually it’s a repetition of borders.

    I remember among the first thing I learned many years ago during folk art class is to do strokes for daisy. Maybe it’s about time I take out all my brushes and try this project.

    For this lamp shade project, you will get to learn on how to draw border on curved surface.

    Another one I would love to try is to paint border on fabric. Once you add the acrylic paint with textile medium, you can wash it.

    These are some borders you will get to learn in the three-step techniques. There are 32 borders taught in the 3 easy steps chapter.

    Oh, if you are feeling ambitious and would love to paint border on your kitchen wall for example, there’s one project on long repeating border. There are many wonderful tips to try.

    You will also find hundreds of borders, corner treatments and other embellishments to copy.

    There are patterns which you can trace or photocopy and enlarge to suit the size of your project.

    If you are interested to buy, hurry up and leave a comment with a valid email address or email me. There’s only one copy to sell.

  4. FOR SALE : The Artful Card

    October 26, 2011 by admin

    I have a few copies of this great book – The Artful Card by Alison Eads to sell. The retail price at MPH is RM89.90 but their stock is currently unavailable. I am selling this for RM30. Postage and handling for West Malaysia is RM8.

    You will get to learn about 25 projects inside the book. There are many techniques you can learn, from the very basic in card making to a more advanced like collage frame and antiquing.
    .

    For a start you can make a baby card like this. Each of the project comes with step-by-step instructions.

    Sometimes when we have been making cards for a long time, we tend to forget the basic of tearing paper..haha!

    Oh, don’t be fool and think that this Chateau card is simple. It involves a lot of painting, stamping and creative effort to turn into a beautiful collage. All of that you can learn from this book.

    Or if you are always running out of time like me, you can make a bookmark like this. After all it’s the thought that counts, not the size of your creation.

    If you want to learn something more advanced, try making this Italy card. With copper antiquing solution, you will get to see a pretty patina as part of the embellishment.

    This is the chance for you to try a new technique rather than get stuck with the old style years after years.

    And if you are bored with doing normal card (or in my case, easel card) try this matchbook style card.

    Of course a fresh inspiration to create a normal side-fold card like this is always welcome.

    So hurry up, place your order. Leave a comment with a valid email address or email me. There’s a few books left. Get creative and make something wonderful today!
