Maybe my gut feeling tells me the plant is going to be gone soon, and thankfully I DID take a photo last Saturday. This week, I went to work as usual. I don't remember, was it a Monday or Tuesday, but the other half of the plant has been dug out. No more flowers.

Yesterday, on my way home, I passed by the "empty" styrofoam box and decided to take another peek. Ok the plant is gone, but in its place are some new bulbs. I can't tell what kind of plant it is. So I'll wait for a few weeks/months and see what's that. :)

I walk about 10-15 minutes to the bus stop to catch a bus to work every morning. Along the way, I pass by the carpark and a school. There are trees, but I don't notice something till quite recently. Well to be honest, I changed my walking route a little since the beginning of this year, because it's a straight path which makes it easier. But anyway, I noticed this plant near the carpark. It was a striking purple against the green grass, so it was hard to miss it. What really funny was it wasn't placed in a proper flower pot, but a styrofoam box. The plant was also growing very well. Most people here would put their plant just right outside their flat, but this was left right out in the open. So I don't know if it belongs to anyone. Maybe the owner felt the plant needed lots of sunshine and water (we had lots of rain in the past few weeks). It was really a beautiful plant, and I always enjoy passing by and looking at it everyday. It was in full bloom for a long time. I have always wanted to take a photo of it, but my camera is kind of bulky and with my laptop and bag, I just would never consider bringing it to work. This week, I noticed half of the flowers have been dug out. Maybe someone or the owner finally realizes it's a beautiful plant and is ready to bring it home. Before the whole plant disappears, I finally took a photo of it today....

I had fun assembling the miniature table together. The shade of pink I used was semi opaque, so it took at least 4-5 coats of paint to cover the table nicely. It is still not done yet but I was too excited to get it photographed.

One of the pieces that I completed before the end of last year was a 1:12 scale macaron and gerbera daisies display. My dear friend, Marie wanted something colourful and bright. I was really excited to work on this one, because it was different in terms of colour scheme. First, the wooden platter was actually a deep dark rose wood colour. It was actually a difficult colour to work with, so I suggested to paint it white. Everything looks so different after a fresh coat of paint! :D My mind started running with ideas once I see the base colour that I'll be working with.

Happy New Year to all again, and sorry for the lack of posting!

I have been very busy and exhausted for a few weeks. I was away on vacation, but then I rushed back for my grandmother's wake and funeral...that's why I have been missing in action. Before I know it, it's back to work again. I'm still trying to get things together ready for this year.

But first, I'm very excited to share something with you. I am planning to hold a 1:12 miniature workshop + tea party in Malaysia. It will be held in Selangor. The date has been fixed in March, it will be a Saturday. Of course, what is a tea party without food?! Lunch and tea will be provided.

The idea came about together with my friend Joanna last year. We conceptualized it, and came up with everything, food menu, tea break menu, etc.

If you are living in that area and had always wanted to take a miniature art class, we really would love you to join us for a fun-filled lovely Saturday learning and hanging out with us!

Details coming soon... so please stay tuned! :D
