We learned how to draw the maruso pattern design. It is the combination of black graphite and white charcoal pencil. It is interesting to know how can we mix and match the design like this!

Today Teacher Gek Lan taught us how to draw jewel or diamond using Renaissance tile. This time we did use some tools such as circle or eclipse template for the shapes.

Using Renaissance tile, I learned using more tools such as the white charcoal pencil to highlight the brightness of the light and brown colour pen. Besides the lightness, I still can shade the shadow using black graphite pencil too.

It was kind of difficult for me to draw and I do not like much about this new design. Hopefully go back home, then I have more time to practice and see how others draw this design.

Mum in Memories…

d89b3ae0-dc37-400d-a774-74184eea0691

Got this photo of mum when papa posted on the family group chat. It is an old photo of her wearing a little bit of American Cowboy style and it was taken at grand mum's shop lot at Labis. I was may be around kindergarten age.

Frankly I do not know her. I did not talk with her much as I was newly working at Kuala Lumpur, and I did not go back home town most of the time. Spending my time concentrate on my career and job.

I missed her so after I became a mother myself. I realised that how she might felt I have become a mother myself. One would never know how their parents feel and go through provided they themselves have experienced it. It is so true.

I wonder how she able to take care 4 of us, doing household chores and earning some through tailoring at home. I wonder if she has dreams that she wanted to achieve but unable because of putting her 100% to the family?

There are so many questions that I would like to ask her but I can not…
