Stitching alongside...
We had our first bookbinding session last friday @ The People's Avenue pop-up store at Orchard Gateway #02-01! Woo hoo! It was a wonderful experience to share our knowledge on book binding and we were glad that our participants had fun and managed to finish their own book independently! See the pictures below! There will definitely be more book binding sessions to come! Follow us on our social media platforms to get updates. Cheers Nestled Ellipsis
Ellipsis Moments: "Looking Through"
Spot the change? The old school window panes have been outlined with black rectangles :) I thought it resembled the Chinese character "目", which means sight. The window panes do allow you to gain sight literally of what's outside by manoeuvring the lever on the inside. Hence, the play of the pictorial word "目" with accompanying words "peeping" through the openings of the window. I took this picture at the National Museum of Singapore. It is an exhibit displaying a mock up of the exterior of our early HDB houses. #ellipsismoments #nestledellipsis #oldschoolwindowpanes #nationalmuseumofsingapore "Looking Through..."
Project: Ellipsis Moments
We are on a mission to take pictures of our everyday life/objects/moments and transform/"vandalise" them in some way and have them captioned... We hope in doing so, it may inspire you to (II) *pause* at times and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings, people and small moments in life. If you like, join us in this mission too and document your own moments! The pictures of this project will be hash tagged under the phrase #ellipsismoments on our social media platforms. If you like to share yours too add in this hash tag! It would be great to see your interpretation of things and perspective:) ...
Back to School...
YES! I went back to Campus Life yesterday...but just for a mere half day :) I was honoured to be invited to be a guest speaker at a Visual Communications class at National Technological University (NTU) - School of Art, Design & Media (ADM) yesterday to share my experiences in bookbinding and the designs of some of my products. It was great fun to interact with the students and chat with them about school life and their projects. They are full of ideas and brimming with enthusiasm about their craft work. Their positive energy definitely rubbed off me at the...
Brick-and-Mortar...
Yes! Our products can now be found in brick-and-mortar stores! Thanks to our fellow stockist excluniqueeee and The People's Avenue, you can now see and feel our products before making your purchase. At both shops, you will be able to find many other unique crafts and products. As you browse through the products at the store, you will not only enjoy them but also get to know each individual brand/maker/crafter behind the works through an introductory write up or the knowledgeable staff. This creates a holistic shopping experience. excluniqueeee ...
