TINTED SPICE JARS

GJ 06
I was given a free hand to look for a suitable type of glass jar for my customer to put her spices on her kitchen top. While scouting around at IKEA, I finally got my eyes hooked on this particular jar as the shape is unique and has a light grey tint.


For the design, instead of using spices as the motif, I opted to use some of the ingredients  normally used in our daily cooking: Chilli, Onion, Lemon, Lime, Spring Onion and Mushroom. Designs are painted on 2 sides with white outline; and the top and bottom borders are painted around the jars.


Price: RM70 each (jars not included)

SUNFLOWER COOKIE JAR

GJ 01
The unique shape of the jar inspired me to add colours and design to it; and somehow was inclined to use sunflower motif on alternate squares, and played around with autumn colours. I used pewter colour for the outline to match the jar lid.

Suggestions for usage: Fill it with cookies, lollipops, jelly beans or candies. Or, remove the lid and fill with potpourri as table display. Add creativity by replacing the lid with a matching ribbon wrapped around the mouth of the jar!

Price: RM400

ROSE BATIK VASE

3-PC FISH ENSEMBLE


CWD 01
This was a commissioned work; a wall display for an office of a business owner.
The customer wanted the theme colour to be yellow, red and black (the corporate colours of Malay College of Kuala Kangsar or MCKK). I decided to use 3 ceramic fish plates as the motif; and as according to Chinese belief, fish and the number 3 are good for prosperity.
Since the colours are bright and striking; I box-framed it in black with gold trimmings.

Price: RM1100

SPIDER WEB VASE


GV 02
I got the idea to use spider web as a motif when I was flicking through my nephew's Spider Man comic book. I used white for the outline as what a real spider web looks like; and fill them with indigo and blue hues to give it a modern contemporary look and embellished it with matching rhinestones. This piece took me about 3 weeks to complete as the design practically covers the whole vase surface.
