Indonesia Food and Hotel Exhibition 2013

So Sorry that I have been absent from my blog for a while, I was pretty busy because we will have a music concert and also art exhibition in June 2013. A lot of preparations are needed, designing posters, deciding on the themes, getting a right place for the concert, which is the most tiring as my husband and I have to travel around Jakarta looking for the perfect place that suits our needs and budget. So I will be quite busy for the next few months.

I went to the Indonesia Food and Hotel Exhibition 2013 last week, Friday 12 April 2013, to visit my customer's booth. Wow!!! it was a real WOW exhibition. Exhibitors are from all around the world. Food, Horeca, Beverages, etc, It was really an eye-opener event for me. It was my first time to visit this exhibition. The Exhibition is held annually, next year will be in Bali.

 

My customer's booth is nicely decorated. She covered the floor with the Coffee sacks to create the feel of nature in her booth. It's a creative idea. My handmades are also part of the decorations. ^^

 

Here I share some pictures taken at my customer's booth.

Training Center

I set up a training center for clay art end of November last year, 2012 and I received a very good response. I am so happy to know that there are so many clay enthutiasts. All the students are so keen to learn and find out what is japanese air-dry clay and how to create something out of clay. It's a great thing to see happy faces of every students everytime they finish they art work and proudly bring them home to show it to their family and friends. In fact, one of our students has actually become a young entrepreneur, now she is earning extra pocket money from making clay for her friends and classmates. 

 

Clay art acitivity is a good choice to train one's creativity, motoric skills and Imagination. I choose Japanese air-dry clay because it is soft, durable, great colors and the most important is that Japanese clay is non-toxic, totally safe for children to use and no baking required. If you are interested to find out more about my training center, just click on The Art Center.

 

 

Figurines

Well, besides doing flowers (which I love the most) I also make figurines. My figurines are made of Japanese air-dry clay, too. Here are some pictures of figurines I made as requested by customers.

Coffee Project (III)

I was asked to make more sets of Coffee fruits on stem with leaves and coffee flowers hair decorations. I really have to rush this additional order. They need it on this coming Wednesday, 10 April 2013. Last minute order is actually very difficult for me because I don't want to spoil the details on my work, but I am glad that they like my handmade. I can only try my best to finish everything on time.

Glossy finishing



Coffee Project

Tonight my working table is full of coffee flowers and coffee fruits, still lots more to make. Hope I could make it on time for the exhibition. Below is the picture of the coffee fruits before I apply glossy finishing on them. Real coffee fruits are shiny. I use Japanese Padico Gloss Sealer for the finishing. It is easy to use, quick-dry and doesn't smell. They are also available in my shop :)

coffee fruits almost the real size

The coffee flowers are for rings and earrings. Today I uploaded the picture of the rings. I will upload the picture of the earrings as soon as I am done with them.
