Romancing the fleas

My friend Intan's romantic cushions remind me of a romantic city. Paris is a romantic city to a lot of people but perhaps not to everyone. Well, romantic or not, I do enjoy visiting the flea markets there. There are so much to see and hope for, with thousands of vendors and their flea items. However, contrary to the popular belief, it is not that easy to find real bargains. At least from my perspective and rather limited budget. But I do enjoy, and miss, the charming and festive-like atmosphere. I guess I do get a kick out of being there, amidst thousands of second-hand goods and vintage items, antiques and old furniture, decorative objects, memorabilias, collectibles, unknown paintings and art pieces, faux jewelries and colourful accessories, bric-à-bracs, surplus goods and clothings, household junks, etc., with the hope of finding some real gems. That of course, takes a lot of time and patience, and a lot of euros.

Hi Aniza,
Very nice blog page. I enjoyed myself. But then I got an upper hand - I get to see the items 'live'. Well done!

[khusairi]

Salam, appreciate if you could explain on how can my wife join your class, regards

Hi Aniza,
I really love your work, it's so beautiful. I've been browsing your webpage since we last met at Craft Haven. (your hub is a friend of my hub?) Dont know if you remember? It does give me ideas and i just do this on my spare time or for family, friends or myself. But not an expert like you. It takes a lot of patience to finish a project. I would love to join your class but since i do work flexible hours time does not permit at this moment. But i hope you can email me regarding your classes. Hope one fine day i might be able to fit in the time. I really look forward. Thank you!!

Puan Aniza, saya ada joint bengkel folkart anjuran laman impiana bulan 12 tahun lepas. Tak berminat ke untuk buat bengkel lanjutan folkart? Kalau nak buat, saya salah seoarng yang berminat.

[aniza]

Puan Rohani, bengkel sebegitu di anjurkan dari semasa ke semasa oleh Laman Impiana untuk pembaca-pembaca majalah mereka. Saya tidak menetapkan program ataupun jadual bengkel. Itu terpulang kepada maklumbalas peserta yang hadir di bengkel kepada Laman Impiana sendiri. Sekiranya ada ramai yang berminat, saya yakin pihak Laman Impiana akan menganjurkan bengkel seterusnya.

[Rohani Omar]

Aswt,
Pn. Aniza, nak tanya sikit. Saya ada masalah sikit bila lukis atas pinggan kaca yang licin. Bila cat atas color yg dah kering, cat tu yang dah kering tu tertanggal. Lagi satu masa sapu varnish. Jd lagu tu jugak. Apa perlu saya buat untuk bagi cat tu melekat.

Masalah jugak menuntut ilmu tak sampai habis ni.

[aniza]

Salam Puan Rohani, nak paint atas pinggan lincin, kita nak kena sapu "glass primer" kat pinggan. Lepas tu, bila nak basecoat, campur colour dengan "glass and tile medium" yang buat colour tu melekat atas pinggan. Primer dan medium tu boleh di beli, kalau di KL, di kedai2 seperti CraftHaven dan Art Friend. Kemdian, baru boleh catkan pattern bunga diatas colour yang kering. Selamat mencuba.

[Rohani Omar]

Aswt,

Saya pernah guna clear spray yang biasa diguna untuk spray motor pada lukisan yang saya lukis atas pinggan licin. Warna boleh juga melekat dan kalau dibasuh memang warna tak keluar. Masalahnya saya tak pasti berapa lama dia boleh bertahan. Lagi satu, berapa lama barang2 folkart boleh tahan jk diletakkan diluar rumah. Contohnya pada pasu bunga?

[Rohani Omar]

Salam, Pn. Aniza, saya teringin sangat nak belajar lukis bunga ros yang cantik macam puan buat. Kalau saya hadiri 1 sesi kelas puan boleh ke saya pandai melukisnya? saya tinggal di kota bharu. susah nak tinggal anak-anak. atau boleh ke puan lukiskan step by step how to draw the roses.

[aniza]

Puan Rohani, pasu tu kalau di letak dalam shade atau tempat teduh, lama juga boleh tahan, bertahun-tahun pun boleh. Kalau exposed kena panas dan hujan, tak lama lah. Pasal bunga ros tu, nampaknya kena belajar hands-on sebab nak tunjuk cara2 brush loading, blending, stroke, dsb. Dan banyak practice. Susah sikit melalui cara virtual atau ikut buku. By the way, di sana, ada kenal Dr. Suhaimi (orang pantai Sabok??) bahagian perubatan?

[Wanie]

Askum kak Aniza...saya n kawan2 amat berminat dengan hasil kerja tangan akak....camner nak order yer? pls advise...tenkiu...

[Rohani Omar]

Salam.

Dr. Suhaimi Ketua Jabatan Farmakologi ke? Saya tak pasti dia tinggal kat mana? Kalau yg tu saya kenal. Berapa harga kalau nak join kelas satu sesi? Raya Cina ni kelas on ke?

[aniza]

Wanie, selalunya customer datang tengok sendiri dan bincang pasal barangan dan juga design. Barang2 yang dah siap untuk di jual tak ada, semuanya handpainted-to-order dan memakan sedikit masa. Yang ada, cuma gambar2 dan sample.

Rohani, agaknya betul lah tu. Bila jumpa, tolong kirim salam kat Doc Suhaimi. Cuti Raya Cina ni, memang ada yang dah mintak nak kelas. Kelas biasa 2-3 jam sahaja. Tapi, kalau datang jauh2 tu, mungkin tak berbaloi. Kalau Rohani ada masa lapang, kita boleh buat special untuk 1 atau 2 hari. Agaknya, hari apa yang sesuai untuk Rohani?

[Rohani Omar]

Aswt, saya pun tak pasti lagi bila free. Raya cina ni, kebetulan ada sepupu dari Johor nak datang. Saya contact Pn. semula untuk confirm. Tapi saya tertanya-tanya jugak ni... berapa kosnya. Expertist nak buat kelas special kat saya, takut tak mampu bayar pulak...kih3x

[Meen]

Salam Pn Aniza, i'm really interested to join your deco painting class..hope you can email me regarding your classes...

[Rohani Omar]

Salam,

Salam Pn. Aniza utk Dr. Suhaimi terpaksa ditangguhkan penyampaiannya buat masa ini kerana Dr. Suhaimi bercuti sabatikal hingga bulan 10.

Wasalam.
