  2. How To Draw Flower Petals

    November 17, 2011 by admin

    Continuing my effort to learn from Quick & Easy Murals by Donna Dewberry, I tried painting flower petals.

    My intention is to draw hydrangea like in the above picture but I find it very hard to draw each petal close to each other. I need to spend more time practising the stroke definitely.

    Next I move to the page on how to draw daisies. It is easier and I love making the dot in the middle of the flower using the tip of the brush.

    After drawing the flower petals, I continued practising the leaves. I think this time my leaves look much, much better compared to the previous leaves I painted..heh!

    For those interested to learn decorative painting from book, I still have 1-2 copies of Donna Dewberry’s book. Kindly contact to buy.

  3. How To Paint Single Stroke Leaves

    November 15, 2011 by admin

    Referring to my previous post on learning to paint from books, I decided to try another style of leaf taught in The Complete One Stroke Painting by Donna Dewberry.

    My main problem is still on how to stop on the brush chisel edge. The end of my leaf is not as smooth and sharp as shown in the book.

    However the wiggle on my heart shaped leaf is getting better. My second problem is still on how to double load the brush without mixing both color. I think I have to practise the stroke at least 10 minutes each day until I could find the right way to handle the brush and load the color.

  4. Learning To Paint From Books

    November 12, 2011 by admin

    I finally got all the necessary paints and medium from Art Friend last weekend. So I tried the basic from Donna Dewberry Quick & Easy Murals book.

    Basically you need a floating medium, 2 acrylic paints and a flat brush. I bought the brushes a long time ago but yet to use them for decorative painting.

    After following the instructions this is how my double loaded brush looks like.

    Then I refer to the page where she teaches on how to wiggle the brush. Well, it looks easy but then…huhu..

    Check out how terrible my supposed to be wiggled leaves look like. But what can I say, it’s my first trial, anyway!

    Next I tried to paint by referring to the page on how to make the heart shaped leaf. I still have to master how to load and end the stroke on the chisel edge.

    This is where I am planning to practise painting every day. I hope in a few years time I would be able to paint by an opened window overlooking my lush garden..hehe!

    November 3, 2011 by admin

    For those who love the rural country style folk art with roosters and chickens, this book is definitely for you. I have 3 copies to sell at RM40 each. Postage will be RM8 in West Malaysia.

    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.

    I never use spray varnish before. Will be a good idea to try one.

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

    What I really love to try is this roses on metal bucket. I have a few buckets bought from IKEA which are waiting to be decorated.

    It shows how to basecoat the metal bucket and create the rustic, aged look.

    There are steps to be followed on how to paint the leaves, roses, yellow flowers, blue flowers and daisies.

    Of course the technique will be different compared to other artist, as shown in basic strokes for rose above.

    You can find pattern which can be photocopied and enlarge to bring it to full size.

    These are the steps to paint numbers, letters and border for the sampler project.

    These are the steps for painting tulip, daisies and leaves for the door crown project. Actually there are many great projects in the book which you can learn new skills like painting basket, eggs, fruits just to name a few.

    Hurry up, place your order. There’s only 3 copies of Painting Americana to sell. Leave your comment with a valid email address (your comment won’t appear instantly as I need to approve them) or email me directly.

  6. FOR SALE: Gubahan Coklat Bunga Ros Daun Getah

    November 2, 2011 by admin

    I did this for the photo shoot session for a newspaper early this month. Since I won’t be using this anymore, I am selling this for RM50. You will get the whole arrangement of bunga ros daun getah inclusive of the decorated polistrin below it.

    What you have to do is just buy Ferrero Rocher chocolates to fit inside of the rose buds. I’m using the dark brown Ferrero Rondnoir to suit the theme color.

    This is how it will look like once you have put the chocolate inside the buds. The picture was taken the night before the photo shoot..(as you can see the messy ribbons and organza roll around the picture)

    If you are interested to buy kindly leave comment or email me. Self collect or delivery on weekend around Puchong/Cyberjaya area only.

  7. The Brown Bookmark

    October 30, 2011 by admin

    Simon Says Stamp and Show has this challenge to use one color for your creation. Honestly, I never like brown, they are too depressing for my cheery soul. But look what I’ve made..huhu!

    My initial plan is to use pink, but I was too lazy to dig my paper stash in the messy craft room so I just use whatever I have in my pink craft box.

    And since I have to make more bookmarks for my online book sale business, I decided this will do. I fussy cut some brown tree images from Basic Grey Scarlet’s Letter paper, a rectangle with printed sentiment and inked their edges.

    It was so messy in my craft room that I couldn’t find my puncher to make a hole at the top of the bookmark..yikes! Thank God for the old, out-of-trend eyelet setter..heh!

    I hope I will be able to make pink bookmark after this, but before that I really need to clean up the room..huhu!

  8. Scrap-It-Lah October Challenge

    October 29, 2011 by admin

    I finally completed the October challenge for Scrap-It-Lah.

    These are the requirements:

    The October challenge is to include:-

    1. Old book paper, sheet music or something similar downloaded off the internet & printed out.
    2. Fussy-cutting.
    3. Hand-stitching using embroidery floss.

    The most time consuming for me is to do the hand stitching. Initially I was planning to stitch the whole journaling title “sunset in Kuching” but after the first word, I have to used stickers to complete the sentence..haha! It was the first time I ever done any sewing on my scrapbook layout.

    I printed out some downloaded image from graphicsfairy blog but the best part is I finally bought an old dictionary from used book store during Deepavali holiday. The dictionary is dated 1965, Hubby jokingly teased me that it might be haunted..huhu!

    I used some images from Basic Grey paper and fussy cut them. Dear son and Hubby helped me punching the brown paper used as mat for the dictionary page.

    The picture of the sunset was taken by Hubby while on the boat tour we took at Kuching Waterfront. It was a very short family vacation but definitely the best. Can’t wait to go for another vacation next year!

    **Updated: I am entering this for BasicGrey Challenge 56 – Anything Goes as well. I used Scarlet’s Letter range of papers : Confession, Pearl and Secret and Urban Letters from Urban Couture range.

  9. Bunga Pahar Stokin White & Gold

    October 28, 2011 by admin

    Finally, after long hours put out for these lovely flowers, they were completed on Deepavali eve. Usually I will take about 2-3 months to complete 100 pieces of bunga pahar.

    This year I decided to take custom made order for bunga pahar after being in hiatus for almost 2 years. For those who still wonder what is bunga pahar, it is flower creation on stick that Malays usually give away to guests who come to their wedding. Usually on the dais (pelamin) where the the bride and groom will sit for bersanding, there will be two pahar on the right and left side of the pelamin.

    For those interested to order, it is RM8 per piece. The one in the picture consists of 35 pieces of bunga pahar. If you have 50 for each pahar, it will look nicer.

  10. 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.
