Canvas Decor

My scrap room is far from looking like an art studio. It’s a spare room at the back of the house that I keep all my scrapbooks, art supplies, books, photos and a day bed. 

I like to decorate my scrap room with things that I make or paint from time to time.

Last night I just painted these block canvas, “LOVE'. These lime-green blocks matched the green lace of my little window-sill curtain, which I had sewed the day before.

Above my work table, I hang a mixed – media collage that was originally the back cover of my sketch book. It was supposed to be like a love-theme sketch book for all my mixed - media experiments but now, I re-use it as a wall décor. 

Grandma Recipe Book

My friend Zahir, who owns the Creative Cottage (Amcorp Mall) recently gave me an interesting art challenge. I am to create a recipe book that features my favourite comfort food through all four seasons. 

After a month, here is what I made. A scrapbook featuring my favourite recipes from Fall through Summer. I made it to look like an heirloom from Grandma. See my fake “Grandma’s” picture on the cover?. I added flea market finds like skeletal key and photo frame to make it look old.

Truth is all recipes are from JAMIE magazine (Jamie Oliver) & Martha Steward LIVING. I was happy to get the thumbs-up from Zahir.
