Decoupage Class In April

without comments

After 3 years of break from making any custom made order and conducting craft class, I think I am ready to make a comeback..haha! Apart from teaching intermediate level of decoupage, I plan to continue conducting basic class for those who are new to the craft.

If you are looking for craft class that doesn’t really require much artistic talent, come and learn my basic decoupage lesson. Apart from the very basic techniques of coloring the surface, cutting and pasting the decoupage tissue, you will also be taught on how to make shading around the decoupage motif and trace quotes and color them.

Once you know those basic steps, you can make items like door hanger in the above picture on your own at home.

Class fee is at promotional price of RM60 for this date only – 16 April 2017, Sunday 2-5 pm. After that it will be revised to RM100. Please leave comment and valid email address if you are interested. Or else you can contact me via FB – BungaTelur.com

Time really flies so fast this year. It’s almost the end of March. It’s been a while since I really sit down and write for this blog. For April, I hope I would be able to update more.

The picture of the plant above was taken last week. It is the rangoon creeper I have at home. It has grown so big that it becomes a hassle every now and then to trim the branches and prune the leaves so that it won’t go into the neighbor’s side. But every time the flowers bloom, it is such a joy to watch all the bright red and white buds, and smelling the sweet musky weird smell those flowers emit.

This year, there were days that I was so busy indoor taking care of the children and doing house chores that I didn’t even get the chance to go out and water all my plants. I miss the precious me-time I occasionally get gardening, digging the holes, putting in new plants and seeing them grow each day.

I love sowing the seeds and wait in hope for those tiny creatures of God to sprout into life. We can only strive and pray for the best outcome in every action we take in life, the same concept goes with gardening. There will be days when nothing ever grow from the seeds we sow, but it doesn’t give the excuse for us to stop trying.

Never give up. Ask question, seek out answers, search for the truth. Eventually we will find the right way to make it work.
