 Helloooo! What I’ve done this month? Well, I have been painting a card for the long-standing loveable couple, who celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. Guess what, this couple is my aunt and uncle! I remembered their summery June wedding in 2003, and I was their bridesmaid. I was 10, I remembered the colour of the dress I wore, the bridesmaid bouquets, my aunt’s tropical bouquet and her creamy satin dress, the lovely weather on their special day! The meanings of the swan, flowers and colour I’ve painted on this wedding anniversary, with the mute swan they represents together forever, strong bond and family. As well as they’re very elegant bird, especially they can makes a heart shaped with the long neck. There are two flowers surrounded the swans, the little purple flower is aster, the reason to use this flower is because in modern day for a bouquet, also became the traditional bouquet, a gift for someone’s 20th wedding anniversary. Even though there a variety of colours aster ha

  Hello lovelies. Did you know yesterday was Earth Day? A reminder for our home planet, we should be kind and do something to help. We can reduce the plastic uses, swap to reusable items, eat less meat, reduce food wastes, and plants some trees! This is the flower I painted to use as collage the shape of earth, and with two colours to tinted this flower, which give some details of water and land. Pretty, isn’t it? Have a nice day. 🌍💚

Hello and happy Monday, of course it’s bank holiday today so it is good Monday. Heheh. So, bit of surprise in this blog, I did a chatting video! The very first video that I was talking, I was actually so nervous talking like this, to the camera as well, don’t know what and how to talk like this particular things, I just went along and hoping it makes sense. So, please be kind, I did my best. 😅😅😅 In this video I talk about my two products, a mug and tote bag, why I thought they’re ideal Easter gifts (and gifts for rabbit lovers of course), and what inspired me to use this painting onto products and to paint by illustrate what rabbit went through, as well as making them looked beautiful, and at the same time have a happy ending. If you have watched it, I thank you and really appreciate it. Remember, rabbits are for life, not just for Easter. Thanks!  

  Happy Easter! Got some chocolate eggs yourself? I had some and I’ll devour them tonight, then I’ll be in chocolate coma. Heheh.  So here’s my painting of cute Easter rabbit dropping two Easter eggs off by the Easter Lily, before hopping away. Speaking of rabbit, I have two products that I’ve listed in my Etsy shop, are the mug and tote bag. Here’s a tote bag, got two options of colour, white and cotton, the material is sturdy you can carry some bottles of drink and frozen foods, I’ve done it with heavy frozen foods, hold really well! And here’s a mug, a ceramic printed in vibrant colour, and it’s dishwasher and microwave safe, which is a good thing I suppose! Thinking of them for next year Easter gift? Do it! Also perfect gift for rabbit lovers. Hope you had a nice Easter and enjoy eating your chocolate eggs if you have some!
