Real flower "jewelery"

Just finished the rest of the assignments. My teacher has also assessed them, with comments, "You have commanded color and value theories in aesthetics very well". In other words, i am entitled to a certified instructor of real flower jewelry.
昨晚完成了所有"真花珠寶"課程的作業,連夜呈交給老師,老師也一早批閱,説"你完全掌握彩度與明度的顏色美學。"很高興得到老師的嘉許,而我亦因而取得"真花珠寶"的導師資格了!🎉🎉

2-inch clay doll

I could have made this doll simpler.  But I have been practicing scultping realistic faces.  So I am used to doing refined details for the facial features.  
Also, I prefer to make the mouth more realistic rather than the common practice of just adding a coil and dividing it into upper and lower lips.  Besides, I didn't draw a very clear definition of the lips as I think that would make the doll look older.

My first tole painting with oil paint

My first oil painting took me a couple of months to finish, partly because I had to wait for a couple of days for each layer to dry. Also, I kept digressed to other commitments.
But frankly, I prefer to paint with acrylic paints as I like to practice techniques such as side-loading and double-loading which are hardly applicable in oil painting.
Having said that, I still love this painting as it is from one of my favorite Japanese tole painting masters who is renowned for painting perfume bottles.

Opal effect flowers

I really LOVE how they turn out! In my attempt to make clay flowers with opal effect, I created them.  They may not be exactly like opal, but I am totally satisfied with the result of mixing three ingredients.

hand-painted Alice on tote bag

I finished painting Alice on this tote bag together with a sack today.  The characters were painted with champagne gold acrylic paint accentuated with true gold acrylic paint.  Which one (see another post) do you like better?

I finished this painting Alice, my favorite cartoon character, on this sack and a tote bag.  The alphabets were painted with pearlescent puffy fabric paint.

Ethereal narcissus

I was once asked why I painted this narcissus so light. Well, because it was made of cold porcelain instead of the traditional resin clay. It is supposed to look like porcelain. And pastel shades go much nicer with the texture of cold porcelain. If I had painted it darker, it would have looked like plastic. Now it has a translucency. Secondly, strong colors tend stay on the surface of cold porcelain. And, once again, it would make the whole product look plastic and unreal. Now it looks more ethereal. Don't you think so?
