Happy Teacher's Day to fellow educators out there! For the first time today, pre-school teachers get a day off too!

It's been almost 8 years teaching art freelance. Through these years I had the opportunity to share my knowledge and make art with people of all ages- in studios, classrooms and house calls too. It can get mentally exhausting doing lesson plans, teaching itself. Nonetheless I have no regrets. Being a creative person myself, making art with children especially has broaden my perspective. I am intrigued at how effortless and fearless they can be. A few years ago I went through a creative rut. I just couldn't paint at all. I didn't know what to paint. That was quite worrying for a practising artist. Thankfully I got over it. It's these kids who inspired me to pick up my brush again. There's just something about their quirks and charming character that is portrayed in their art- the colours they chose, their brush strokes and attention to details. Here's a selection of artworks done by my students.

My favorite Japanese artist’s works is in town! I was so thrilled when National Gallery Singapore posted about the exhibition many months back. Due to the overwhelming amount of visitors, I decided to go on a Monday morning with my nephew. Just a day before my birthday!

Everything on display makes Instagram worthy pictures. Apart from the 20 seconds only special Infinity Room, my eyes were shooting hearts when I entered a room full of her paintings. Obsessed! I can never explain enough about her practice. Scroll down below to watch  great video by Tate on her artistic obsession.

These picture doesn’t do justice! You have to go and experience it yourself! Exhibition runs through 3rd December.

As some of you might have known, somedays I make art with kids at Seedz Studio. Adults can attend toooo! We made Yayoi Kusama inspired artwoks!

Patterns crazy. Can you spot the image of Super Trees, one of Singapore’s places of attractions covered in dots?!

Since National Day is coming, Selb and I decided to hold a workshop on 12 August for 15 pax only. Join us and get inspired as we go through the process of creating our very own Singapore Shawl. More details of the workshop here.

Hope to see you particpants next week!

Time flew by so fast and it’s already April. Feels like it was only yesterday when I met lovely girls during Makers Meet dinner at Asha&Co’s home studio! I was invited to share about my experiences on how I embraced creative rut and tips to climb out of it.

As you can see from the photos above, I jot down some pointers. On previous #lullyslist, I’ve mentioned a few times that one should never compare your work with other creatives. The only thing you should compare is your previous work. Look back to see if you made any progress.

On the same photo above, I crossed out ‘Love the process of doing your craft.’ It didn’t feel right to me! The greatest takeaway for the night was when one the girls Raudha Raily said, 'Trust the process.’

That reminded me of the challenging times when we were designing the Nautical collection. It took awhile but Alhamdulliah, Red Navy shawl is sold out!

The Makers Meet has been inspirational. It felt great to have a support system where we could share our struggles. The next Makers Meet is already full! I’m looking forward to the next one.

P/S : We are still taking orders for Nautical Striped Shirt! We can do bigger sizes this time..just email us!

We're launching the full Nautical Street campaign together with a spanking new website early next week! As most of you would have already know, it took awhile to finase the prints for this collection. Now that everything is ready, let's take a look at some sketches, prints that didn't make it and the final prints used for Nautical Street!

The photoshoot is happening this Sunday! Selb and I went to recce outdoor areas for our shoot but the weather has been unpredictable these days so we decided to have it done in a studio. Thus, we would really need props for it. We were both thinking, where else can we get a buoy, ropes and complementary accessories?
