miss petal & bloom

I had such a blast chatting with Quynh and Jessie for their Paper Talk Podcast - I did not expect to ever be invited on a podcast so this was a great incredible honour!

So thankful to Quynh and Jessie for taking time off their busy schedules (and coordinating with the time differences across our 3 countries). I'm a big fan of these 2, they're definitely 2 of the bigger names in the international paper florist community and what amazes me is that they're so dedicated to giving ba...

A question I get from my followers, especially my international friends, is -

“DO YOU TEACH ONLINE CLASSES??”

And now, finally I can say “YES! I DO!”

Now there’s so much work and thought that went into the making of these videos, even the decision itself was hard, I went back and forth with the pros and cons but ULTIMATELY, I really wanted to reach out to my international audience and...

Sharing more about the shoot here!

I am so thrilled to finally share the final photos...

I've been waiting to release a video tutorial for a while now and I finally did just that! Thank you everyone who waited patiently too.

Teacher's Day is coming up at the end of the month, and I thought Sunflowers would be the perfect bloom to teach. It's admittedly not the most professionally-filmed video, and goodness the editing process in iMovies - while so easy and convenient - took up a lot of time, so I doubt this would be a regular thing, but I do hope it helps anyone in S...

Sorry if I haven't been posting too frequently, I thought I'd make up for it by posting a timelapse video! This is really just a behind-the-scenes look at my crafting process and unfortunately I won't be uploading any tutorials or sharing any instructions/ templates at this time - if you're based in Singapore, I hope you'll join me for my workshops though! :D

I hope posting this video gives you a glimpse of the amount of effort that goes behind each bloom. The original video in m...
