Happy CNY to those celebrating and hope the rest of you had a good mid week break. I have been celebrating it for the last 3 years and the atmosphere is really different from Hari Raya. Funny thing is when I went to my side of the family at night for a gathering, it was more happening than my husband's chinese side cny visits.(Prob write about this next time.) What is more important in today's blog is sharing more about #DreamwithLS. It's been a very successful campaign and we plan to have more artists aka our Dreamers on board for future collabs. Being creatives ourselves, we know the struggles and its not easy especially in a country like Singapore. If...
I’m super excited for #DreamwithLS because to me being a creative in Singapore is such a struggle. Many of us wish to turn our passion into a business but realities and society always stop us from doing what we love. Today I hope my blog re-ignite that spark in you. You the artist, the Creative mommy, the designer babe, the cool crafter, the amazing creator. Yes you! Remember that if you want something so badly, get up and go for it.

It's the last #lullyslist for the year and it's time to revisit the prints we produced this year! We started 2018 by announcing our biggest collaboration with designer Naforrer for Commonwealth Fashion Exchange by EcoAge. We designed an evening wear- our interpretation of the Modern Malay Woman. Selb and I had a great time painting on Eucalyptus silk. We also applied wax crackle technique. The lines from crackle wax effect was so lovely and satisfying to do that we made into a printed shawl.
