Learn How to Make Babies!!!

You know, the baby issue is a perennial issue here at the heart of the little red dot called Singapore. With a small population of 5 million plus, we are not reproducing ourselves - and this makes future sustainability a real issue. The first Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, sais it again recently. "Having babies may be a personal matter, but it has considerable consequences for Singapore" So- married couples, go, shut down your computers and TVs and smartphones and let the real love conversation begins! And for this special period (090812 to 010912), Peak Paradigm is responding to the National Call to stoke the national passion! So we are charging only $4.70 per person!

All things Red and White

Our Nation's 47th National Day is just round the corner and from today till 9th August I would like to show my appreciation to my country for making this "Little Red Dot" called Singapore a peaceful, prosperous and productive place for the pursuit of a fresh green environment with good air to breathe. Wearable badges to show our love!

The backing for the badge is a strip of plastic with double-sided sticky tape already attached. The plastic has a safety pin to it as well and it can be purchased in all good art supply stores. Just stick the clay to it!

What babies are made of

Here's some things which are pretty easy to make. I don't think they need any explanation.

Celebrations!

It's a special day for me as i celebrate my birthday. Sashimi is one if my favourites and of course a Jap restaurant is necessary. Well just to see how close are my color-mixing with the real deal, i brought along my clay sushi to the nice and cosy restarant. See whether you can spot the clay sushi. Cheers!

All things Singapore - The MERLION

Undoubtedly, this is a symbol which every tourist will associate with Singapore. Half-fish and half-lion, this mythical legend has long become an icon of Singapore. This 15cm-high piece is commissioned by a government agency and i wanted it to look friendly. The original sculpture sited at the Singapore River has 4 canine and it looks majestic. With the majesty comes respectable dignity and it looks somewhat serious and fierce. So, i did not attach the canine and i added a benign smile on the face. The colourful mane represents the multicultural nature and dynamism of our society. It sits on a base of marbled waves. I also used clear, flat marbles to add highlight to the sculpture. There is a thin stick joing the base and the Merlion which i used as an armature to prop up the vertical sculpture. As in all clay sculptures using Paulinda Clay, designs are not etched on it. but rather imprinted in it, which means using any kind of tools or objects to leave an impression on the clay. The scales of the Fish's body is imprinted using a rounded tool, which created circular designs. This is a piece which i am able to do for any organisation.

The King of Fruits - The Durian

This is the season for this fruit - the durian - the KING of all fruits. It is said that you either will love or hate it. For me, it is an exotic fruit with different flavours, depending on which type you buy. I simply love it. But the FROG selling durians here in Singapore! This is ORIGINAL! One and only! The two Chinese characters roughly mean "Guaranteed Good!"

The KING PIG

Let's start with the KING shall we? This is one of my favourites, and many of my friends and supporters said it is so too. What makes it so realistic? It's the:
1. color-- Add Yellow clay to Green to achieve the lime green effect. 2. The placement of the different parts of the face (eyes and ears are particularly important). You like the Bomb? Its varnished so it looks shiny.


Whether you do clay as ahobby of for business, don't forget to ENJOY it. Otherwise, it becomes a drag. Cheers!
