English Bath Cubes


Painted these english bath cubes with scented florals design as the real ones in the soap dish. I have those bath cubes for many many years, given by a friend from the UK. Never used them as it was too beautifully packed and I kept them as a decoration in the powder room. Now, it comes handy to use the design for painting.

It's a guy thing

Another cupboard door, this time for guys.

It is quite a challenge to paint something suitable for men. With the design inspired from the book, 'It's a guy thing' by Susan V. Cochrane, some from calendars, journals and fashion magazine, I managed to put these things together. And shall I say, I'm proud and happy with this work.

Forever 'Teacups n Teapots'


I am forever loving teacups and teapots, hence painting them too. Here is a tall slim cupboard (shown here, the door only) with various teacups design and a 3-leaf screen with portmerion inspired designs.

Vanity Cupboard


Things that young girls (or older ones for that matter, like yours truly) love : handbags, shoes, hats and lacey gloves, perfume and the whole range of toilettries, lipstick all all other cosmetic, vanity mirror etc etc. Woman, vanity is thy name....

And here they all are, painted on a cupboard suitable for girls room. It is for a customer. My Ayesha asked me why don't I paint them one. Well, maybe I should. Must find the time to paint things for myself!
