Name Plague from Aunt Jphier

Name Plague of YiWen and Yijing

I'm never good in ART. It has never in my blood before. When I was in secondary school, when it was time for art subject, I will think every possible way to skip the 3 hours class. Since I was a school prefect, I have the privilege to go out maybe for prefect meeting, discussion with discipline teacher or etc etc. And of coz I always get extremely low mark in this subject. If able to score 60 , that's already a miracle. Ya! That BAD! :P 
I'm a very technical person,(that's why I ended up in this career) if you give me blank paper and ask me draw a human, i think i can only sketch you skeleton.. :P But if you give me ugly photo, i can touch up it nicely in PhotoShop. So , message to my kids.. don't ask mommy to help you in Art.. if not the more i help.. the chances of you failing is higher.. :P LOL..

When my colleague, Jphier told me that she does painting during her free time and even has a collection of it, it just struck my mind, that maybe i can ask her to do something cute (at very reasonable price) for my daughters as well. See the above? Name plagues made of paper clay and the plate frame is made of thin wood. She put a lot of effort to have it done. Actually it is quite tedious, she told me, each name plague must be coloured with base, then paint a  solid paint on it, carefully touch up it and outline the feature to have it look 3D and finally varnish each letters with acrylic varnish. Last step is, glue it up to the wooden plate. Completed within 2 weeks time. Not bad uh? 

I'm not going nail it to the door as I don't want to see it broken into pieces when YiWen bang the door.. (u know kids can be rough at times). So, maybe i will nail it up on the wall and then nail up photo of YiWen and YiJing underneath each name respectively. I'm sure gonna be nice ... :D
