THE CREATIVE CLAY CHALLENGE!

Have you done the conventional teambuilding programmes? Have you organised teambuilding for your organisation retreats where you prayed that it would never ever rain (because all activities were outdoors?) Have you done all these activities - the hula hoops,the ropes, the blindfolds, the coloured balls; the wooden skis,?

Well, The Creative Clay Challenge (TM) is a totally new Teambuilding Programme by PEAK PARADIGM, owned by Leonard's Clay Creations --- It's totally NEW!



This can be a half-day or full-day corporate teambuilding programme.

Hitting the Books!

Yes, recently i have not been creating many clay pieces, just freely expressing myself whenever i have the time and inspiration. WHY?
I am doing an intensive course on HRD and Change Management, that's why.
The test is coming soon so i am hitting the books. Next week, i will be back online!
Good things are worth waiting for yes?

The season to mourn

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance...

Singapore has seen the passing of two human beings who have contributed greatly to our society - Dr Balaji and Madam Kwa Geok Choo. The clay creation here was done just this evening and it reminds me of seedlings after the emotional devastation...

MOONCAKES THAT BREAK TRADITIONS

Keep traditions or break them? - Ah, i will not go into this argument but for mooncakes - variety is indeed the spice of life. How many traditional single yolk or double yolk mooncakes with the traditional brown oven-baked skin can you eat? But transform that into different flavours and you could be eating the entire night or afternoon high teas even. In small portions, lah! We have wine-pairing and coffee-tasting. Has anyone invented mooncake tasting high tea yet?



Just in case you are wondering, the maniature fruits are made using Jumping Clay.
The fruits are popular fruits in this part of the world. Mangoes, strawberries, papayas, bananas and mangosteens.

MOONCAKES THAT LAST A LIFETIME

The Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival or in Chinese, 中秋節, falls on the 15th day of the Chinese eighth month. Mooncakes have played a central role in Mid-Autumn traditions.

The look and taste of mooncakes, not to mention the packaging, has greatly evolved in the last ten years. Below are some that will tantalise you!



Here's my creative clay mooncakes!

E.T. Looks Back In Space and Time

OK. Those who watched E.T. and knows who is E.T. are probably born before 1982, right? That includes me of course.

Did you know?
1. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 American science fiction film co-produced and directed by Steven Spielberg.

2. It was written by Melissa Mathison and she was the wife of Harrison Ford.

3. It starred Henry Thomas, Robert MacNaughton, Drew Barrymore, and Dee Wallace and of course the child actor and actress shot to fame as they grew up.

4. It tells the story of Elliott (played by Thomas), a lonely boy who befriends a friendly extraterrestrial, dubbed "E.T.", who is stranded on Earth. Elliott and his siblings help the extraterrestrial return home while attempting to keep it hidden from their mother and the government.
