my own lil window display at MORE cafe :)



i've got my own mini window display at MORE cafe :) (where some of my mixed media paintings are also placed - as i mentioned before, for those of u who dunno where it is, MORE is at murooj rotana on sheikh zayed road in dubai)..

well that orange dress inside the cafe is already sold :) (next to it are the paintings - on the right side).. and on the other side of both those windows (as u get out and walk towards the outside sitting area), are 2 other dresses. they're all up for sale of course.. more dresses will be added soon too..



i'd just like to thank wouter lap (owner of MORE) for his support, encouragement and help (and brilliant ideas!!); bob boersen (operations manager of MORE marooj) again for his help and for bein my no.1 editor for all my lil dress descriptions; haries (MORE's engineer) for all his technical support.. thanx guys i really appreciate it all :)

and hey guys, come buy my stuff!! ;) oh and eat and drink at MORE.. they're got amazin food and drinks!! ;) i myself cant live without their MORE frape (with caramel syrup) and the dutch potato salad lol haha :)

my new form of art (mixed media paintings)

hmm.. i've kinda disappeared off the fashion scene for a while so i thought i'd share with u all some of the other stuff that i've been pretty busy with lately. well i've actually started workin on a new form of art - mixed media paintings (combining photography, digital work, painting, etc). here's what my first collection's theme is all about:

"vibrant colors. ethnic prints. expressive mannequins. those are the key elements in my mixed media paintings, inspired by my new fashion brand TOKSIC".

some of those paintings were actually featured on my interview at sama dubai (tv). and well, i also have some of them displayed at MORE cafe in marooj rotana on sheikh zayed road :) (up so sale of course ;) - oh by the way i sold 2 already! yaaay!!)

well right now im on the lookout for more spaces where i can exhibit all the others.. so people, any thoughts or ideas? :)

one of my friends, amaal jeraar, also has some of her mixed media paintings featured at Shu (jumeirah beach road, next to chilis and emirates hospital). u should check out her stuff too they're pretty cool..
