If you notice that I have not been updating this blog frequently, one of the main reasons is that for the past few weeks, I have been preparing a big trip to America and Canada. I will spend a few weeks there. All of our stores will be closed from now till further announcements are made. If you need to buy anything from us, you will be prepared to wait for couple of weeks for it to be delivered.
Another important announcement is that we stopped selling Laptop skins temporary. We have some issues with supply of skin printing materials. We are not very happy with the quality of recent new batch of printing materials and would like to stop selling decals at the moment. We will resume once we get satisfactory materials for printing
Plants are so magical, especially the herbal plants. I am amazed by the various kinds of fragrant they carry.
In searching of some healthy snack for my 4 year old, I come across the mint plant and some healthy snacks and drinks it can make. I planted some in my garden from cut out that I bought from supermarket that are meat for cooking. I just insert them into port soil and magically they grow.

| Mint in Balcony |
Now they thrive in my balcony. They need only a lot of water and sunshine.

| Afternoon Snack |
This is a healthy, delicious and easy to make afternoon snack with oat cracker, low fat high calcium cream cheese and mint. The strong taste of the peppermint I pick from the balcony somehow disappear when mixed with cheese. The mint makes cheese very fresh and not so sticky in your mouth. My daughter loves it.
They are also so pretty to paint with bluish green, golden yellow and dark purple stems . I painted two today.
These are some of the fresh printed laptop skin and iPhone decals. I really like the
Tropical Paradise. It is very pretty when printed out in large.
I have been very busy with my daughter's activities recently. There are so many things a 4 years old needs to do such as outings, piano lessons and practices, ballet lessons and other enrichment classes. She enjoys learning new things and that makes us very happy.
I am planning to do some new paintings about flowers and spring fields. These are the sketches I did using my daughter's crayons. I draw them during my daughter's informal drawing session at home. She was very happy if I draw together with her.
A lovely glass pendant of April tree blossom. A unique Spring gift!
This is a very large print of size 28 x 43"/71 x 110cm that is printed for a customer of
Hibiscus and Bird print.
It is printed on art paper. The surface is laminated so that it will be protected for dirty and touching. You can wipe it using wet towel if there is dirty on the surface.
I try to hang it to my cardboard to take a nice photo.
To hang the print, you can frame it as usual. But I think it is best to mount it with a
Adhesive Gator Board, a type of foam board with adhesive surface so that the print can stick on it for hanging.
I made a few Owl Blue square glass pendants these days. I like the bright blue background. It is very nice if you want to wear it with certain matching clothes such as white, pink or jean.
Last week I was working on this cherry blossom flowers painting. April has the most beautiful flowers.
The painting is hang on my dining room wall.
It measures
24 x 30 x 1.5" /60 x 78 x 3 cm , painted on Stretched canvas and ready to hang.

| The Details |
I have spent sometime on the weekend to finish the painting. I want to put more colors into it by introducing the red and green. It was painted on 24 x 30"/61 x 76 cm stretched canvas and ready to hang.
Since I have a child in my house and my studio is one of the rooms in my apartment, I don't paint oil using normal turpentine any more to avoid air pollution. I paint more acrylics. But I like oil much better because of the rich texture and color. I just found a new way to using oil by combing it with acrylics. I paint some part using acrylics and some using oils without diluting them using turpentine. The result is wonderful.
More views of the painting:
The sides are painted.
Some of my customers told me that they like my prints, but they would prefer an original version. I think I will take some time to paint some of the prints. It is fun and challenging to convert the print into a real painting.
