mad about coffee

Updated two new items in my etsy shop today – mad about coffee series postcards and calendar 2012. The featured photographs on both items were taken over the course of several months during my coffee breaks.

Have a great weekends, fellow coffee lovers :)

bouquet of love

After neglecting my etsy shop for the past two months (blame it on the sudden heavy workload), i’ve finally updated it with some new listings this week!

1. If you love wooden stationery like me, do check this out :-)

2. There are two new listings for handmade notebooks (this time in B6 size!)

– twin stars & types

– around the world travel series

3. Last but not least, a series of “lovely” pocket size notebooks :-)

photos from the bazaar

These bunny candies were a hit with the kids... well, i guess all kinds of candies work but since it’s the bunny year, i’ll give it some credit :-) Some kids were really excited while others (well, ok i spotted just one) sneaked back quietly a few times to get more. Cuteness to the max!

More photos in my facebook album.

thank you :-)

A big thank you for those who came down to SAM to show your support. It’s really great

to meet friends of same interest and love for design. Hope to see all of you again in the

near future!

Will sort out some of the bazaar photos and post them soon when i can. i am on a really

tight schedule now for another project... only 4 days left to translate the ideas into visual

and there are tons to do. So my actual CNY holidays will only start 4 days from now.

Hope your holidays has been great so far :-)

Happy Bunny Year!

in preparation

i’ve been busy working on some new pieces these few weeks and can’t wait to share them at a bazaar that i’m joining this coming Chinese New Year. It’s going to be held at the Singapore Art Museum @ 8Q. Admission is free as it’s the annual open house. Do come down and say hi :-)

the last of 2010

i’ve always love moving into a new year. It feels like life getting a fresh start from point zero – the bad things will be left behind and the good things will get even better. And since i’ve decided to make some changes to my rather stagnant freelancing life, i’m pretty excited about it. Will elaborate when the time is ripe.

For now, some updates on my etsy shop :-)

These are the ‘props’ that i used for the shop banner. It wasn’t planned, i just happened to have the shot and while browsing through iphoto, the picture suddenly screamed banner, so there it is.

Printed some happy cloud stickers with the shop website on it for use as part of the packaging. Before, i had no patience for gift wrap at all, but now it has become one of the most enjoyable process. i get really excited and thrilled whenever i received my online purchases, especially if they came in a nicely wrapped packaging. And i am hoping that i can make others feel the same way too.

Some new prints – The dancing baby koi will liven any spirit, and the magical stars is perfect for the romantic daydreamer.

3 p.m. breaks calendar. i found some really nice paper to print on today, they’re more expensive than the current one that i’m using, but i feel that it’s totally worth it. So new orders will be printed on the new paper! Yeay!

Custom design calendars are also available. Just email me the photos that you like and i will do up the layout for you.

Happy New Year!

xx

more notes

A few more design since my last update.

Have been working on some new ideas... hoping to be able to add new items* to olj shop by next week.

* And they are not notebooks :-)

one little journey: the shop

i’ve got a shop on Etsy!

This is something that i’ve been thinking for quite a while but didn’t really have the chance to work on it. And since there wasn’t much real work going on right now, i thought it’s a good time to get started.

First batch to go is a series of handmade notebooks:

A palmsize notebook to capture your daily thoughts. The cover is an original photograph printed on matte paper.

Every notebook is made unique and about 50% of the pages are made from upcycled paper scraps. Perfect for the you who enjoy a little surprise on every flip of a page.

Currently, there are only a few items listed in the shop, but i will be adding more this coming week.

Enter promo code “OPENING10” at checkout for 10% off. Till 12 December 2010.
