Name Plaques-21.8.2011

Good evening!

I was delighted to receive 2 more orders for name plaque from friend, Fee Yoong .  I am glad that the two name plaques turned out to be very colourful and attractive. I am also glad that she likes them very much.

I like to paint clay letterings because I like to match colours and create different effect by painting the same letter with different colours.  I have to think of what colours to match and where the letters should be placed so that I don't repeat the same colour next to each other. I have to have a mixture of colours in order to make the plaques look colourful and nice.  I also need to make sure that the colours are evenly spread.  In other words, colours combination is very important.  You may see some samples below.

  

Tiple 'A'



Tiple 'Y'

 

Double 'O'

  

Double 'H'



Double 'P'



Triple 'S'



Not only I like to match the colours, I also like to match the letters.  It's fun to form words by using those beautiful letters. I feel so young again....hahaha......You may also see some samples below too.

  



Letter: VIP



Letter: RAN

 

Letter: TIE



Letter: EAR



For varnishing I noticed that Aerosol spray is easier to use and can get a better result than the liquid varnish. Liquid varnish is a bit messy compared to Aerosol spray.

Finally, here are the 2 beautiful name plaques.  I hope the owners like their name plaques. Well, my mum like them a lot.  She is so impressed with the colourful and bright letters. She said she also wanted to make one for herself and hang it in her room.  I couldn't help laughing at her remark.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my friend, Fee Yoong for being patient and understanding. She gave me priority to prepare my paintings for the coming event at Art Market.  I am pleased that  I have finally finished her name plaques with flying colours.

Good night everybody!
