I know, this is probably the funnnnn-est job ever. It’s Mickey, who doesn’t love this little hero here you tell me.
We were commissioned by Luxasia not long ago to paint a few Mickey figurines to represent their perfume brands for ‘Mickey Mouse Through The Years’ project that is going on in Mid Valley now, guess most of you’ve been there and all the Mickey designs are so, impressive.

The objective is to make our Mickeys look like their perfume bottles.

Mid Valley why you no give us Paintlust some Mickeys so we can play with more colours of our own?

This is the finished product. The client wanted 5 fully painted spoons of batik design. We have our new miniature package up if you are looking for similar products. Check it out.

I really have to thank all the people that helped us for this project. In order of appearance, like movie.. ceh..

Martojaks.com, Bunnynoo.com, Kimberly Tee, ScionofDarkness.blogspot.com and last but not least, my konco Binn Pang. Check out their blogs, 2 of them are really great artists whom are available for freelance jobs. *hint. You can also shop for clothes at bunnynoo.com. What a cute group of artists right?

The spoons are smaller than they seem and doing 300 of them is difficult when you have so many cats around waiting to sit on the spoons and leave their fur on the spoons.

After we are done, we still have to give the spoons a good few layers of gloss to make them shine. Finishing touches are very important when it comes to art. It is of course hazardous to inhale the fumes from the spray lacquer so we had to gear ourselves up properly for this task.

Bottom of the spoon was also painted with love, sweat and of course much curses during the journey.:)

The result was worth it.. look at the finished spoons in the packaging, so pretty! Packaging weren’t done by us this time though.

It was a learning experience… we ended up splurging on good acrylic paints in order to finish faster. Cheap paints are less pigmented and are not as opaque. It usually takes a great deal more layers to complete the painting compared to using expensive but good quality paints.

Thank you to all the people that helped!

This is the plates that we painted, they are all ingredients for cooking and done in a contemporary style.

All of us is hard at work painting the plates. It is fun lining all the designs.

Marianne working on the lobeters while Vinn worked on the lemon.

All dressed up to paint some plates. We take our job very seriously.

Ready for transportation to the event. Oh and the beautiful logo at the back of the plates is printed by myFlippix.
