Flower pot




I shaded a side with yellow as the whole pot is too plain with white. Roses tissue was used to decoupage the sorroundding top.







I tried to decoupage the rose to form a sorrouding effect and kept the middle empty. Maybe I might put some word in the future.





The original background is brown, I painted it white. I purpusely painted the backgroud with uneven white. This was to show out the origin background with a faded effect.

I soaked the paper in water before decoupage on the surface.













I used wraping paper to decoupage this time.

Wooden bench



A romactic pink purple bench. A nice place to rest before enter the house. Also, a good place to wear your shoes for outing!










The side view of the bench









A closer look









The over view of the bench. A fresh and new look













I tried to keep in minimal with little decal at the corner and centre.













This time, I tried to decorated the bench with decal as I was bored with the white bench after two years especially the white turned dirty and old as it was displayed outside.








I painted it purple pink












It's nice to see from far, but the closer look showed an inexperience work of rose.











This is my brown wooden benach intially. I painted it white and tried my hand on my first folkart drawing on rose.

Car boot tray



My first attempt to draw a hen on a black plastic tray. It was not as difficult as I thought. But, I believe practice made perfect.










Multifaces of this hen. My kids love it very much. They claimed I should draw a cockerel to pair it up.








I did not trace the picture from the book directly as the size is different. Once again, my laziness prompt me to draw on it by free hand.











Well, I used the tray as an experiment as the background is black, saved my effort for preparation of colour of background. What a good excuse for me !







This is my first attemp to draw a hen, self-learning from En Zahir's latest decorative book.
