FESTIVE FOOD STYLING & MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY
Want to make your food look good? A lot goes behind the scene for a memorable food snap. Like what they say, there is no love sincerer than the love of good food.
What you need - Tweezers, spray bottles, brushes, Q-tips, bamboo toothpicks, scissors, a bottle of oil, napkins, just to name a few. Most importantly, your phone camera!
How to do it - Having a good plan is key to a smooth photoshoot so pre-planning is definitely advisable! Prior to taking shots, three main principle to remember, 'relate, create and choose'. So first thing's first, you will always need to think of a story behind the food i.e. recipes and ingredients. Then create your theme or mood board and lastly, choose the right colour and props. Build your shots and imagine the narrative before you settle for the right moment to snap up a picture.
CHRISTMAS FLORAL WREATH MAKING
How to do it - Decide on your concept and theme. Gather all your ingredients and tools. Cut your greens first and arrange them into bunches. You can either mix the different types, or use similar types to tie them together. With a 5-inch piece wire, attach the greenery to the base ring and clip them together. Work anti clock wise and make sure you have the leaves overlap with one another. Repeat this until you come to a full circle. Adjust as needed to ensure there are no gaps. Once this is completed, add accents by accessorizing your wreath with baubles, ribbons, candy canes, etc and your Christmas wreath is ready!

WATERCOLOUR & CALLIGRAPHY CHRISTMAS CARDS MAKING
How to do it - Less is more. Modern designs are often simple and minimalistic. Start with a simple design and a simple colour palette. Different colour gradients in the same palette can allow you to achieve a more cohesive look. Always allow watercolour to blend and move on its own as the random affects of pigment blending can be quite interesting. To make the design stand out, make use of contrasting elements. Add also metallic accents to give you a luxe feel to your work. You can also try mixing different textures as well as 3D elements to the card. With simple lettering, strategize areas in which you will be able to draw attention to and you're done!
