Passionart @ Boon Lay Park

I was given a space at PassionArt @ Boon Lay Park last saturday to showcase the workshops that I conduct in Ayer Rajah Community Club.  We also show little children how to fold a heart shaped origami card which I learnt when I was a teenager from a origami book.  It is a easy fun and easy card to make.

Here I would like to share with everyone how to make this origami card.

Sock Doll Making

 Sock Cat Doll 

I started sock doll making a year and a half ago for my children when I chanced upon a sock doll making book at the National Library and fell in love with it.  It is so easy to do compare to the traditional bear making that I have been making for years and needed so little time to complete each doll.

They were so cute and easy to make, I started making them as gifts for my friends too and they started  ordering them from me to give as gifts for their friends.  Then I also started getting request for workshops on how to sew these cute cuddly dolls, so I started my first “Sew A Cat Sock Doll Workshop” last year in March and the respond was great.

This year I started my first Sock Doll Making Workshop last Saturday with a group of ladies from and we  had a great sharing time and everyone completed their lovely sock doll by the end of the workshop.  Here are some photos of the work in process and their finished product – their cute sock cat!

Coptic Book Sample

Coptic book binding is one of the oldest traditional book binding method which was used by the christians known as Copts.   This method of binding does not need any gluing and the spine is left open and the book can be lay flat when turning the pages.

Scrapbooking Workshop with CSC

Last weekend we were at the head office of Civil Service Centre to conduct our first basic scrapbooking workshop for the year. 

For this workshop we used our Racial Harmony Scrapbook kit to create a simple scallop album.  Acrylic paint was used to paint the background to form a little garden and skyline and patterned paper were torn to triangle and square shapes to form a little house.
