This is ongoing plaster craft project that I am working with. Above few were done early this year. Red and blue colours are the two main colours that I employed due to my admiration to red and blue envelope collection lately!

.A visit to Institut Kraf Negara-Part 3

Below are some images showcasing both the finished and unfinished works of rattan furniture.
I personally like the 3rd image due to its simplicity in shape and  its rhythmical approach in pattern design.
Now, it's your turn , which is your favorite?

Last May, I visited Institut Kraf Negara that situated at Rawang

I was so lucky to have my talented blogger friend Rizal with me the whole session, he is the senior lecturer in IKN. It's a guided tour together with him and he introduced all the art departments here in details. Among there are art departments for batik, wood craft, rattan and ceramic. But I have a particular interest in rattan art as I have never witness such innovative creations by our local craft students before. Each piece is excellently designed & executed. I especially have an eye for the yellow bloom rattan basket. shown above.  

My whole journey was throned with lots of excitement & surprises, I was given some beautiful souvenirs to bring home. Indeed, it's a satisfying visit and I am hoping to make another visit again!

I hope to show more in the near future.

A day with my churchmate

Last week, my churchmate ordered some art supplies from me. I'm please because she's my first customer.
I fetched her from church then we went to have an early lunch. My churchmate was really good. She treated me to a newly open cafe. Food was great! I would definitely go back again!

After lunch, we headed to her art studio. This was my first visit and upon arrival, I was fascinated by her students' creations. We talked about art and many other things, we also exchanged our art teaching experience and ideas . Besides, we shared our dreams, prayed for each others and to further encouraged one another:) That's a great day!

These are some creative creations taken from her studio.

Enjoy!
