The Chaotic Fair

I'm still working on the detailed report on the Star Kids Fair last weekend (which went AWESOMELY WELL) aaand the Art is Enterprising Workshop that I attended 2 weeks ago, so in the meantime, this entry is a photo spam of all the lovely quilling artworks done by the kids (and their parents) during the Star Kids Fair workshop. I've spoiled myself with all the delicious quilling, so I wanted to spoil you too! Enjoy!

p/s How adorable are these kids?!! Wish I could put all of them in my pockets hahaha!

Boyya the green crocodile

Introducing Boyya, the green crocodile.

He's a small creature the size of my palm, of which I found while trekking in Bukit Antarabangsa, Kuala Lumpur. NOT. Trekking and me will never mix haha.(I encountered him while doing Art is Enterprising workshop at Bukit Antarabangsa).

He's a lost soul, and I suspected that he simply forgot where he landed his spaceship. Boyya is a vegetarian, and loves tomatoes very much. He eats a lot of figgs too, without knowing that he's allergic to them - and causes the green spots on his body.

He'sa cheeky crocodile of a unique species, and there're only a few left in the world. He's a creature that craves for attention, and a little diva in his own green-ish way. Thus, I thought I should adopt him and made him a reluctant mascot for Miyyah@Kertas haha.

Hence, meet Boyya!

Tulips for mama

I love making cards for mothers. There's something special about showing your love towards someone who gave birth to you.

Mums love flowers. At least that's the presumption people had on mothers. Personally, I think mums will love anything made/bought by their children. It's not the items, or the price, but it's the thoughts that count. Isn't it?

I'm still experimenting on the colours. I kinda like the retro look on the photos, but at the same time I still prefer the vibrant and colourful photos I normally snap.

Nevertheless, I always thought this retro photo effect is able to create the romantic mood, and in the case of mothers, I think it's just perfect. :)

Popping Green

When everybody else is still in the looping butterflies mood after the Get-Together, I'm currently addicted to this whimsical design haha.

This was made out of personal request of a dear sister from Uni whom I haven't met in ages, for her husband's birthday.



Green has always been one of my favourite colours, and being able to do a green-theme card is fun. However, the best part of making cards for ol' buddies is that cards could create reasons for us to meet. :)
