For the man of the house.

I was commissioned to do a set of birthday gifts by Zurin, the owner of Chantek Tudung. The nice lady asked me to create a concept to celebrate her husband's birthday. I came up with an artwork based on jigsaw puzzles and it was used in the birthday gift set of a t-shirt, a ceramic mug & a matching handmade card.

It was fun working with someone who knew exactly what she wanted and opened to suggestions. A friend who was planning a birthday party for her son showed me an example of a diaper invitation card. We had a brief discussion and came up with a list of things to buy. About two weeks later this is the result of our handiwork.

The beauty of wrapping papers

I LOVE wrapping papers. I think they are underrated. They could do wonders if you know exactly what to do with them besides wrapping gifts. Salute to the designers. Below are some of the pieces I did using 80cents wrapping papers & 20cents envelopes. If you do it yourself, these paper bags costs you almost next to nothing.

A transformation

Whenever I go on a 'gift-hunt', I do not necessarily pick ones that are new or look good. I found these ceramic 'bekas telur' on a dusty shelf in a gloomy looking shop. They were not much to look at but I instantly knew with a little work they would turn out looking lovely. Click on below image for larger view.
