Completing The Spoon Box – Decoupage Order

without comments

I am currently working on this MDF spoon box, ordered by a client. This is the first time I get to work with an item like this.

First I need to basecoat all the inside and the outside of the spoon box. I decided to use a darker green for the inside (the compartments where the spoons and forks will be put in). The outside is basecoated with lighter shade of green.

I used 2 different napkins to decoupage the outside of the box. The apple design suits the front part just nice. Another napkin with fruits motif was used for the right and left side of the box.

For the lid, the client requested for doa sebelum and selepas makan with the meaning in Malay. I used another napkin with strawberry design to decoupage the upper part of the lid.

I am almost done varnishing the box and hopefully I can settle this order by next week.

Hello April!

without comments

Time does fly very fast this year..don’t you think so? It’s already April..sigh!

In terms of what I want to achieve this year, I think only about 10% of it is in the running, the rest I am still struggling with daily life to properly execute them into action..huhu! Even updating this blog becomes such a chore that I keep on putting off the effort.

I wonder where can I get back all the determination and motivation. This must be one of the bad days, right? Hope it will pass soon.
