My New Masterpiece Painting

Title : ‘Recitation”
Medium : Acrylic
Size: 200cm height x 100xm Width

In the Peak of my maternity leave /MC , I’ve decided to fill up my time and extend my artistic flair by composing new Masterpiece to satisfy myself – yet at the same I can filled up my empty wall in my house by the stair case. It took me couple of weeks to complete my painting.
What I’m trying to express in my painting is basically related to Soul Searching Journey to Peace. How meditation and recitation helps one’s soul towards peace and enlightenment. When you think of it again….Yeah! it’s kinda sound like spiritual especially the outcomes came from within me..(I was taken aback myself …. don’t ask why – it just happen without me realizing it until towards the end).

A Compilation of baby booties made for my coming baby…

‘Dulang Hantaran’

I’ve made some of the Dulang Hantaran for my brother’s wedding recently, consisting of total 13 dulang.

Theme of his wedding is quite traditional with an essence of East Coast esthetics value in its decoration yet simple.

‘Spring’ Quilt Art Blanket

Alas!!!…. my major king size quilt has finally completed. It took me almost 1 year to finish it all. The best part is that – it is 100% hand sewn ( literally every pieces attached on-it and to-it). Inspired by Japanese Fine Craft works.. I was fascinated with their passion and skills and eventually it occur to me to creates my own master piece from a scratch – and I did !!! Now I’m glad it’s completed and proudly to say….I’m Lovin’ It !!!

Red Knitted Baju.

Do apologize for my late post due to some circumstances that had tide me down. Anyhow, I just would like to share my recent handy work which eventually completed. (What a relief) … It ain’t never easy to fully focus one each project- considering I have few projects overlapping one another.
What I’ve made here is my new knitted shirt…I always wanted a bright red yarn for my knitting project and indeed I did!. Honestly this particular project has taken most of my time…I’ve resized the shirt twice and using 2.5 and 2.75 needle size all the way until it finished. Imagine how long it would take me.. Moreover I kept juggling all my projects when I started to get bored with one.
Next project I shall to do some of my baby pieces like little cardigan, booties and perhaps baby hood /hat. (its either knitted or crochet) That will keep me busy for at least a week.

Creative Challenge !!!

Due to high demands.. I would like to extend my proposal to all creative buddies for some creative project and share it among us in my blog.

Well lets make July is the Creative Month for all of us out there.. You can make any creation as long it’s creative…from scrapbook,photography,arts and to all needle works. I think it would be fun. Well email me all the finish product to onezentrum@gmail.com

‘Little Teddy’ Baby Blanket

After completed my Valentine Baby Blanket , suddenly I have the urged to starts my next blanket project – and so I did!!.. it took me in a flash to complete it. I’ve spend my 18 hours a days concentrating this work… But this time it’s full machine stitch with my beautiful Bernina Machine.

Luckily I’ve bought extra yards for my projects.  I’m so delighted to be able to complete this piece in a week time.

All of my works , I usually use – only a high quality materials which is either 100% American Cotton or 100% Japanese Cotton. This is because of its quality and the colour that would last for ages as long you don’t wash it weekly. It’s significant to me due to time ,efforts and creativity I’ve put onto my works and definately I would like it to last. Afterall, most of my work were one off design.. and exclusive too. I don’t really mass-produce them. It’s either same motive with different composition and colours BUT definately no duplicates.

Size approx 3′ x 4′

I do get people asking me if  I do take order and customized baby blanket. In the beginning  I don’t really do that because once they start asking about the cost , I guess most of them were taken aback. Usually, I only accept from those whom really appreciates such fine works and appreciates Quilting. (Not to mention the cost of each meter for the fabric and materials too.) I guess, some of our society lack or probably miss taken between fine craft work and tailoring. We are not tailor but we are hobbiest and crafter. All our works resolves within creativityn and exquisite design ; on top of that with our personal touch were applied on each design, especially those with Hand-Stitch work. It’s like a work of arts, if u put it on a different prepective.

Eventually when I think about it again, probably I’m now open for baby quilt custom request but only for serious people only. So I would recommend to contact me personally for me to evaluates their request because such fine works would takes weeks and sometimes months to complete them. ( Depending on design and the complexicity of the motives and subject application on the blanket).

‘Valentine’ Baby Blanket

This is my another completed baby blanket… Center piece pattern is fully hand-sewn and patch together. It’s design to fits on a baby cot or can be use as a playmat too and it’s very comfortable.. ( my little girls love the feels and as a matter of fact she requested one for herself)

Materials: 100% American Cotton

It’s crazy thou, because they have almost anything from knitting,crochet,sewing, beads, painting & arts, Jewellery making and many more. It’s difficult for me to narrow down my shopping lists. They even sells craft book ( of coz in Japan language) , however it’s easy to understand because most of their book consist many visuals on project. This place is about 10 minutes walk from my hotel. Any of u have any doubt where to shop for craft shop in Mikawa-Anjo, Japan? – juz simply hop into this place and of coz there also Tokyu Hands and Ginza Hands in Tokyo city and all major cities in Japan. No doubt about that. Normally, wherever there is Takashimaya, for sure you shall find Tokyu Hands in it. ( Well, that the only tips I can share with u gals).

But for those in living in England, there are many hobbies and sewing shop around the town and cities. There is a textile warehouse in Norwich, England nearby the railway station.
