My favourite hydrangea...

Went pass a florist on the way to dinner and couldn't resist stopping over to take a look at the stalks of different coloured hydrangeas displayed in the vase.

The last time I saw big balls of hydrangea was during my trip to UK in Sep 2012. The flowers were blooming from a bush and they were of different colours even though they were sprouting out from the same plant. And it was really lovely! How I wish I can have a hydrangea bush in my garden :) The potted ones I have in my garden have really small petals, like a mini version of the hydrangea.

Interestingly, I read that most species of the flowers are white, but some can be blue, red, pink, purple etc depending on the soil pH. An acidic soil will usually produce flower colour closer to blue while an alkaline soil will produce flowers that are more pink. Now I need to find out how to change the soil pH!

This was what I bought yesterday. And I think it looks so pretty in the can I bought from Plymouth :)) Totally vintage <3<3 Gonna brush up my painting skills and attempt to create this effect with clay soon.

My clay flower bouquet in Edmund & Celine's wedding shoot

Yay!! The photo is finallyyyy out! My very first clay flower bouquet featured in my friend's wedding shoot :) Been waiting so long to see how the bouquet will look like in photos. Totally <3 the vibrancy of the colours. Drop me a tinker if you would like to customise a clay flower bouquet of your own~

First clay flower order!

My good pal Jas was helping her friend Prema to prep for the wedding last weekend. So she approached me to design a simple and classy wedding box. The first thing that came into my mind was a wedding box with a simple clay floral arrangement. Well, after going through at least 3 months of clay flower crafting, I felt I was ready to give it a shot :) At least I felt confident enough not to ruin any bride's big day especially when most of them turn into a 'bridezilla' weeks or even days before the wedding.  

So I got an ivory coloured box embellished with a small clay floral arrangement of peony, roses and stephanotis at the top. And personalised the box with a wooden plaque bearing the couple's names using clay crafted letters and bow. Very pleased with the outcome! Hope clay flowers will catch on in Singapore so that I will have more opportunities to design unique creations.

My favourite piece of work!

Extremely pleased with my latest work from class :) Made purely from clay. All I can say is I LOVE IT!
