I need to close this door, in order for me to open a new one❤️

Hey Reader,
​
Last week was probably the craziest week I had in a long time- all the ideas that I have been trying for so long that were not working... everything started working! And my hands and brain has been running non stop since.

What happened?

A mindset shift happened, and I shared it in this personal video:

I have been having so many creative ruts in the last year and to be very honest, I do feel dejected at times. It felt like nothing was working- and I wasn't exactly very lit up by my work- so I did what I usually share with others: try to do other things, and one day it will circle back to inspire you in what you are doing.

Either that, or you would have found a completely new direction. Both are wins.
​(So yea, actually, everything was working, just not in the way I wish it would be)

The lesson I carry away here, is to keep showing up for what is important to me.

Creative expression is, art is. It gives me life and keeps me breathing. So what did I do?

  • I painted: Acrylics, watercolor on paper and edible paint on fondant.
  • I played with flexible clay: By now you would have seen the flexible flowers I make- and yes it opened up a new door for me!
  • I played with edible paper: yes there are different types of wafer paper ;)
  • I rested: There is this phrase in mandarin that says: Rest so you can walk longer.

And because I know this creative journey is important to me- I do what I can to protect it. Play often, rest often, work often- a good mix of everything.

And in the midst of all of it, alongside the new mindset shift, new ideas started flowing into me.

I will share more in the upcoming newsletters...keep close!

TODAY'S TIP: HOW TO GET OUT OF CREATIVE RUT:
​Keep trying different things (even if you think they don't directly add value to what you are doing), and your creative muscles will be worked and inspired :)

​
P.S. Big changes are happening on my online school from May/June onwards:

  • ​Individual flower templates will not be available anymore- they will be sold as a bundle instead. So if there is a particular one you want, the time to get it is now.
  • ​Flower Bundles 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 will also not be available for enrolment anymore, (I am shifting them all into the Ultimate Flower Bundle)- those who are inside will not be affected, so yes if you want them now, don't miss out on your chance.
  • ​Signature Wafer Paper Masterclass will cease new enrolments after 30th April 2025 (students who are already inside will not be affected and still will get lifetime access) - use code "waferpaperflowers" to take 50% OFF (yes i have decided to change 25% to 50% for this last stretch). For those who have bought at 25% off, I will go ahead and refund you. ​
    ​WHY? See video above.

Love & light,

Hey Reader, I have been TOO excited to not share this. A few years ago, students started sharing with me how making wafer paper flowers for their business is taking them wayyyy too long and as the world progresses, costs are rising, hours are becoming more expensive, and spending this amount of hours making them is starting to not make more sense... especially when spending more hours means you also have to charge HIGHER, and this turns a lot of people away, sometimes.. just more than we'd...

Hey Reader, Every year, I find myself humbled by what is possible. Growing up in a country where everything is so structured, a part of me finds it really hard to just "go with the flow"... YET, when I do go with the flow, my body feels lighter, and the creations I never thought was possible, became POSSIBLE. This cake design is an example of it. As I try to tap into my flow state as much as possible, I realize my ability and brain expands (yes! finally something to counter AI brain rot)....

Hey Reader, This is not a new flower to many, but the reason why I wanted to share this is because of the PROCESS of making this flower now, has just became so many times more enjoyable with WKC FloralDust™ Technique🤩 And, not to mention, how versatile they are. Use it as it own, use it as a filler flower to complement other flowers, the ways we can use them are endless. I can't think of how to put it into words that, the painful painting of each petal, veining each small little petal, and...
