CHINESE NEW YEAR & HAPPY VALENTINES

Dear Readers,

 

I haven't been active on this blog for sometimes.   Have been quite busy with some singing performances activities that take up most of many leisure hours.  

Now, I am back since it is Chinese New Year Holiday Break.    I would like to share my Chinese New Year Preparations & also my painting of ROSES for a Happy Valentine wish in Chinese Painting Style to all of you !!!

Hope you like them :)

Well & Joy wishes to ALL!

CHINESE NEW YEAR PREPARATON 2013 -- Year of Snake :)

Valentine Painting in Chinese New Year Moods :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Dear Readers,

I have not been making miniature for a while, especially so with my thumb wounded from cutting vegetables during steamboat preparation process.   Today,  I received a gift from my daughter celebrating Mother's day.   To my joy, it is Clay Roses she bought from school.   Although she didn't make it herself, but she know what I love and brightens up my day with this lovely gift.    One special thing to mention is that the bottle is derived from used Brand's Essence of Chicken (A tonic drink),  and the artiste painted a rose on the bottle and inserted a green foam inside to hold the stalks of roses.   Simple and Sweet, pretty good idea to recycle used container with the right purpose and very presentable :)

Thankyou my daughter and I wish my reader a Happy Mother's Day as well !  And a nice week ahead!

Wellajoy, Cheers.

Be My Valentine!

After having a good time with all festive funs, it is now time for Valentine!

Probably is our best time of the year to express our love, care and appreciations for our dear ones.

A hand maded present is better expression than the off-the-shelf gifts.    I made a simple accessory with lovely roses for my daughter and I am sure she will like it on her favorite haversack :-).

Best wishes too to all my friends in the Miniature Land ...... a Happy Valentine Day this coming Tuesday!

Cheers,
Wellajoy!

Lunar Dragon Year is coming :)

The Dragon is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the  chinese calendar, and the only animal that is legendary.    For year 2012,  it is going to be Year of the Water Dragon for the Chinese Lunar Year,  as we will bid goodbye to Year of Rabbit which is the animal for 2011.   This coincide with 23rd Jan 2012 of the western Solar Calender, so we can count down another few days before the Festive Season again  and this spring festive will last as long as 15 days, till 6 February 2012 :-).

 The Dragon is considered a  noble animal symbol that represents the Chinese emperors in ancient chinese history.   And is a symbol of success and good fortune.   This time, I find Dragon my theme for miniature craft.

I painted the miniature I made with golden colour match the theme of great wealth and fortune.    Display with the floral setting with birthday peach 寿桃, together I wish dear friends of every corners of the globe a Great Year 2012 and a Great Lunar Dragon year as well!  

Best Regards,
Wellajoy!

Christmas Mood is ON !

It is time to prepare Christmas!
This year, I have my special task to make miniature for Christmas as it is my very first Christmas after picking up miniature craft work.
I bought my first miniature christmas tree which is gold in color.   It is 7.5" tall representing a 7.5 feet tall Christmas Tree.    Then I start dressing it up.   With some handmaded miniature deco and a big golden bow ribbon,  my christmas tree is now fully dressed.   
Next, I use a cosmetic carton to prepare the platform for my presentation.     I think Christmas is not complete without Santa.   I feature as a toy ornament next to the Christmas Tree. 

Since we have another 2 weeks prior to Christmas,  dear Santa decided to take his nap closed to the beautiful carriage.    Young princess couldn't wait to play with him but Santa is snoring all the way!    Come, it is counting down time,  we look towards Christmas and welcome the wonderful holiday season with anticipation!    Hey hey, Santa ... Santa, wakeup ....wakeup :-).

Go ahead, wishing everyone the best of the 2011 Christmas Day!
Best Wishes from  Wellajoy!
