hello there

I am so looking forward for my workshop at KDU this weekends. I had 25 students registered. Within 3 hours time I'll be teaching them how to bind using Kettle Stitch method... I gave them a kit that can make a cute book size measured 3" x 4" but the cover for every individual book will be personally hand silkscreen by me.. will share this with all of you soon.

I am sending my stuff again at Locus Publika this weekend. I am happy for  a really good response from their customer for my products. Here I share some of the thing I produced recently, and some might be sent to their outlet this weekend.

I finally managed to finish up Our Adventure Book, a commission job from Lina for Amir & Jehan as a wedding present. If you noticed the font used are different from what Curt & Precious's Our Adventure Book from my previous post.

Dolltopia Gegurl

Weather kind of gloomy today but I need to capture every single of this before Bazaar at Bukit Tunku tomorrow. 4 been booked and I have 6 more left. I started making this character when I was asked to do a similar doll for a local tv commercial prop - Everyday milk...

I called it Dolltopia Gegurl. Kind of a bit feminine, because the soft toy I made before all based on imaginary creature inspired from animal Kingdom. My friend Fasya from German was asking if I can making two of them... and I am making ten of them for her to choose 2, and the rest I will sell at Bukit Tunku bazaar tomorrow.. I am excited another friend of mine has booked another 2 for her daughters...

Yeaaayyy..kind of very exciting beginning.... 

I love all  of them, every single one have character of their own...

It was interesting to observe on how each of them react towards the same lesson. YES we had so much fun laughing loud, mixture of colorful characters. I had 4 designers (Leena, Zee, Lee Ann & Driv), an editor (Vivian), scientist (Adlin) that bring along her twin (Adlina) and husband (Zaidan), and 13 years old girl (Lily).
