Hari Inovasi Alam Sekitar

Two days ago I participated again in an event at Jabatan Alam Sekitar, Putrajaya. An event that participants can promote new ideas and innovation in helping us to live in an eco-friendly environment.

One of the ideas I have is to turn old pc diskettes into coasters, gift tags, decorative pieces and even door gifts. I have painted these diskettes using Enamel paint.

Biscuit tin with cottages

Here's another biscuit tin that I have painted with scenery of little cottages. I will be bringing some of my painted items on the tin to be sold at the coming Ipoh workshop at a special price.

Hopefully everyone is excited to try to paint on recycle items. I'm sure most of the postings (tips, examples, ideas) in my blog has been informative enough to inspire and motivate you to paint. Should you want to copy the design, I would appreciate that you informed me, at least I know that it has been put to good use. But should you post pictures of my painted item on your blog and claimed its yours then its very unethical.

Happy Deepavali

I hope I'm not too late to wished all my Indian customers a very Happy Deepavali. Hope you have a wonderful day of visiting and eating. Talking about food ...please go easy on the curry and the candies...they look delicious but you also have to think about your health!!...hehehe

Oh by the way, I did decorate my shop with some recycle Deepavali greeting cards.....no time to paint anything relating to the festival but its all in purple and gold now.

Photo shoot for MIDI magazine

Yesterday I did some photo shoot with the MIDI magazine ....sounds like I'm in the Tyra Bank's show isn't it ?...hahaha!!
It's for the DIY section and I did the step-by-step approach in painting on a mug, on a CD, on a spice bottle and decoupage/painting on a tile. If you are interested to know more wait for it to come out on December 2010 issue.

It's nice also to give someone a well-wisher plaque or a house number plaque if the person is moving to a new house ......a really nice house warming present.
