Cookie Cuckoo

Wow it has been a while. I dont know what is wrong with my blog. It doesn't allow people to comment. Its not like I do it on purpose and block your comments. Something got to do with the blog template I think. Maybe i'll change my blog templete later. Sheesh! Very very sorry.

The other day I was watching my mom making her cookies. Yeah she loves to make all kinds of cookies and pastries. And she is good at it. Watching her makes me want to try what she was doing. Honestly I have no experience in designing food. But it doesn't matter. Just for the sake of trying something new. I can polish again my manual art skills:p

With a curious attitude, i went into the kitchen and started asking her this and that. Haha. A lot of questions to be asked. Then I got my free 'design a cookie' tutorial. It was harder than it looked! She showed me how to prepare the icing. I hate that part really. Then she showed me the nozzles. I was surprised. It was a set of nozzles in a casing and there were like 20 nozzles in there. I didn't even know she had that set. Each nozzles had its own size and purpose (for different style). This is more hardcore than grafitti. Hahaha.

Next the colourings. Oh yeah this part i got excited. She had loads of colours. The colouring set looks exactly like a set of poster colours. Each bottle one colour. The colouring was added into the icing and mixed. Later the icing was poured into a cone shaped plastic with the nozzle at the end. I got my weapon and it was time to get creative. She explained to me the techniques. There were 2 techniques used to draw on a cookie. The 'base & draw' or the 'draw & fill'. I decided to try both.

I took the ginger bread man shaped cookie which she had prepared earlier and started drawing. Many of the cookies I made ended up in the bin because it was so damaged and ugly. I'm still a beginner yet ambitious! Hahaha. My hands were shaking when i drew. The cookie was as big as your palm and the drawing technique is different. Squeeze and control. It was hard seriously.

However, I had a good time. Maybe the next time I'll improve my cookie drawing skill. Maybe you should try it for yourself. It will be fun:) Later guys. Out.

A Meeting With an Artist

Hey people:) I just visited Mr. Yeoh Jin Leng; also my neighbour; at his place. If you haven't heard of his name, let me tell you he is one of Malaysia's best painter and fine art artist. Awesome guy. You can check him out at www.nngallery.com.my. It was nice chit chatting with him though. His stories, his experiences, his thinking and his point of view really caught my attention. Hey there is no right or wrong in an opinion. Mr. Yeoh gave me plenty of good advice and motivation too. Hehehe. Sometimes you have to listen to the senior's advice in order to improve. They know;)

Later Mr. Yeoh showed me around his house, including his personal art studio. Loads and loads of paintings, sculptures and other art collections. It was everywhere. Big and small. Each with different stories. All influenced by the Asian art, culture and tradition. He even showed me a catalog where he had an exhibition at Balai Seni Lukis Negara. Pretty cool. Some of his artworks even dated year 1959! I was smiling all the way:) Happy and mesmerized with his wonderful creations. Now i'm fired up:)

One of Mr. Yeoh's artwork:Dance of the Gopis. Awesomely big!
