More artwork done by Kalo's students

Here are some artwork done by my students in Singapore this week.
We were making Chinese New Year greeting cards, aboriginal arts and painting like an Impressionist! Teaching does put a big smile on my face.

Coco On Cavas

May I introduce COCO, the Canadoodle dog. Yes Canadoodle, not CanNoodle.

She loves you to play hide and seek with her toy (you hide the toy, she goes find it)

It is a life saver game sometimes when I want some peace to do more design work.

Unfortunately, she didn't come to Asia with me. So before I left London, I designed and screen printed a tote bag with her silhouette and her name (disguise by the Coco Chanel sign) on it. It is a great bag for dog walking, it holds a lot of Coco's toys.

Amazing painting done by Kalo's student

I have been teaching arts to this little girl (age 11) since December last year. We had about 6 classes so far and today is the first time, she did her first painting!  I was teaching her how to paint like the Impressionist Masters and LOOK ! Her painting is amazing! I feel really proud. 

Our subject matter - lovely flowers, some tiny onions and a fake bird! 

 Believe me, she is 11 years old only, just that she is rather tall! 

Meryl's first finished painting

Um... this is mine ....

Coffee Shop in Singapore

I woke up really early today at 5:30 in the morning to do a bridal make up in the East side of Singapore. After that I went to a lovely coffee shop in Tiong Bahru to relax and to recover!
This cafe I found is called Orange Thimble. It has a lovely setting, with lots of individual rooms and a back yard filled with sunshine.  I ordered a latte and an English roll and sat there on my own for like 3 hours? It is somewhere you can chill out for the whole day and not worry you will be kicked out! Plus, the staff has a great sense of humor too. 

Kalo's Recipe Tote

This is my latest design - Kalo's Recipe Totes! 

The idea sparkled while I was cooking one night.  I was thinking of things to make as a present for a good friend, who once asked me for the recipe of Chicken Chow Mein. (I cooked this for her once,  she loved it and after the meal, she took down detailed notes of the recipe!) So that was how the RECIPE TOTE IDEA came out!

They will soon be available in my SHOP, with more recipe designs.

If you are interested to get one, please email me at info@kalomakeart.com

They are HKD$150 each (OR GBP15)

 

Bespoke Wedding Invites for Tammy + Billy

Concept
Tammy and Billy were looking for a design that is modern, colourful yet traditional. I also included some silver ferns to symbolise their time spent together in New Zealand before moving back to Hong Kong. 

The floral patterns I illustrated were also used as the backdrop for their wedding photographs! 

Method
Bespoke wedding invite design was printed using LETTERPRESS method onto textured paper. (English message on one side and Chinese message on the other side)
