The Process

I was about to sleep at that time so before I go to sleep I did is to sketch them and continue the next day.

I was preparing all the materials.

And what I did is I alternated painting the two sketches so I can save time and wait for the other paint to dry. I did not use m hot air blower because it is a waste of electricity hehe I have the sun that burns my back while I am painting.LOL

I started with a few layers, it still looks dull it will get better later.

After that, I use fine line pen to layer those pencil sketches.

I added more layers to make the paint more vibrant. That is how watercolor works layer by layer until you achieve that vibrancy of the paint.

I do the same thing as the first sketch I painted. Add a few light layers and then build the color until your desire.

Look how cute this baby is. Smiling through the camera.

70 percent progress.

After I finish I send some sneak peek photos of the paint and she loves it. I feel relieved when she told me she love it. I am so nervous that I ask her if I am allowed to sign the front of the paint. hahaha. Stupid me. She told me I should be proud of what I did.

As I said earlier it's been a while since I got my order because my mind is so messy that I can't even visit my shop for a long time. I forgot I pack the order so before it gets messy I practice first.

My First fail, I printed the waybill too big. I only adjust the size on the first option but you need to adjust it to the main printer setting. I wasted one sticker paper on that. I printed the waybill in case the courier will not provide it maybe they will just in case. hehe I am prepared.

The materials I used for my packaging. The backing cardboard is one of my favorites I saw that idea from "pack order with me" on youtube, and I love watching those it so calming. My second favorite is the glassine wrapper which I used to wrap the product I painted some of them with acrylic for design. I printed a flower sticker and my old logo. And the courier pouch which I don't know if they still give for free. I'll try to ask if they still give the seller.

They're ready to be packed. The one on the left side is the one I pack for practice. LOL

I pack the painting in multiple layers so it will surely be shipped safely. This is the first layer of the packaging I put envelope backing and cover the paint with glassine for extra protection.

The back view.

The second layer is the main packing I used the cardboard I recycled as a backing. I put the freebies too. I was supposed to put it on the first layer. And for extra security, I wrap a nylon tread as a ribbon.

The third layer of the packaging is the bubble wrap this is the must-do step for complete security I have still a lot of it so I am recycling it, it wastes not using it.

The final is the courier pouch I still have from a few years ago hehe. Still good as new.

Ready to be picked up later.

before I go to sleep my goal is to clean the mess I made and finish this blog. I can't sleep because of the cockroach that completely disappear, and MF decided to visit at my busy time. I search the whole room no cockroach was found. haha

The fact that I only pack one order is already a disaster what more when I pack more. I want my effort to be noticed even on the packaging, that is what a small business owner is.

That's all. I hope more orders to come in the future and more blogs to come too. And I have a lot on my draft ready to be published.

So that's it! The commission is still open on my Shopee Shop and many more.
