不舍得丢弃的废物


图文来自:POPPY SEED


你会不会也和我一样,
时常不舍得把一些看似废物的东西丢掉,
哪怕有一天会用得着它。

今天我的废物一:干去的鲜花
废物二: 玻璃瓶


其实,只要花花个十几分钟,
废物就变艺术品了,有可能。



用些麻绳,把干花绑起,
然后在瓶子上再绑个蝴蝶结。
看起来有些复古。



或许也可以用蕾丝衬托底。


作品完成。
虽然花已经干枯了,
但是当把瓶子装饰后,这一切都不再单调。

(喔,我的宝宝露脸了!)

Making pizza the cheater's way


Image and Text by POPPY SEED


I enjoy cooking, baking and trying new things out in the kitchen,
but time is always the limiting factor.
Here is my quick fix recipe for pizza. 
In less than 30 minutes, I got the yummy dinner on the table.




These pizza ingredients can be found in AEON supermarket.




Step 1: Place pizza bases on an aluminium foil.
(I use MISSION wraps for the thin crust pizza base and
TRICIOUS pizza base for the thick crust pizza)

In the meanwhile, preheat the oven 220 degC, fan forced.




Step 2: Spread the base evenly with Pasta Baked Sauce (creamy tomato and mozzarella).




Step 3: Top each pizza with your favourite toppings, 
i.e. mushroom, sausages, ham, chicken slice, meatball, pineapple, tomato, etc.

I prefer to pan fry the mushroom, sausages and meaty toppings beforehand.

You can also turn a can of tuna into a quick and easy pizza topping.




Step 4: Last but not least, sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese on each pizza.




Step 5: Baked in oven until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
It takes approximately 10 mins.



Step 6: Serve while it's hot!

准备渡假去~必备物

Text and Image by Poppy Seed


再过几天,我就要去黄金海岸Gold Coast探望小弟了。
真的太期待了!
但唯一担心的是,愉快后的证据~ 被晒黑的脸。
所以旅行必备物就是遮阳帽。

以下照片是小小加工后的帽子。




原来的遮阳帽长成这个样子。
长得还不错,但有点看腻了。


所以跑到了手工店,买了这个百搭的蕾丝花边。


我用针线缝了上去。
其实也可以用万能胶,
但假如以后我想换换设计而拆去蕾丝,那么就会留下胶印。


看起来还不错哦。:)

10.365 Washi Tape 动物贴纸之家


Text and Image by POPPY SEED



从我的washi tape宝箱里发现了还没用过的贴着。
有着动物身上五彩缤纷的花纹。


心血来潮,就把贴着贴在白纸上。
然后用黑笔构出动物的形状。

长颈鹿叔叔诞生了。

还有他的好朋友,斑马太太。


然后我选了一个青草配小红花的贴着。
贴了个长方形,
在里头写了给 “welcome home, baby"


把他们都摆在一起,
热烈欢迎回着家的孩子。

简单家居玫瑰装饰

上个星期,我的家开了个house warming party. 
我在忙碌准备晚餐之余,还要打扫干净。哪里还找时间布置客厅呢?
打开橱,想了想,到底要怎么来个又快又漂亮的布置呢?
登登!我看见了4个装意大利面酱的玻璃瓶。好吧,那来插花吧。



先把酱取出,放进别的盒子。
把玻璃瓶洗干净。

小贴士:假如玻璃瓶上还留下贴纸的痕迹,
那么可以把炒菜用的油涂在痕迹上,
用海绵刷一刷,痕迹就没了。





然后,窝跑去了Bangsar Floristika鲜花零售商一趟,
果真找到了新鲜且便宜的花。
我选了淡粉红的玫瑰和满天星。





把花减短到适合花瓶的高度。
随意的把粉红玫瑰放进玻璃瓶里,再把满天星插进作陪衬。
顿然,我的小窝变得温暖又生气了。

Painting "Elephant"



TEXT by POPPY SEED

We always learn that an animal or a person must have 2 eyes, 1 nose and 1 mouth,
and these face features must sit at the proper position
A while ago, I was reading an article and being challenged of this concept.
So I decided to draw something (don't know what) from a different view.

With water painting, I simply draw any shapes I want with red paint.
Leave it till it dries, then draw any patterns freely with blue paint,
and at last, with yellow paint. (you can use different colour too, but try to keep it to less than 3 colours)
Then look at the finished pattern, does it look like any animal?
If you don't have a clue, try to rotate the paper, or look into a corner of the painting, till you see some resemblance of an animal.
Then, use a black pen to trace out the outline of the animals.

Here is my imaginative animal.

Painting "Best Friend"

Who says we must draw and write using the hand we normally use? 
See.. I can draw with my left hand too!
 I then painted it with acrylic paint.
Aren't their crooked eyes cute? :P
