mosaic class in mines wonderland's chinese book fair..

i went to the chinese book fair at the mines wonderland a few weeks ago.. to lazy to post and too tired for the last few weeks.. it's on the 26th of november.. i went there for the mosaic lesson.. but i found that the trip there is pretty outrageous, for example, i can't find the deco arts's booth there, n i slipped over some sort of slime when i was looking for this booth.. and so on events happened before i reach the booth.. disasterous way to get there... while the booth was just near the exit... like... ppl would thought of tat, right??? swt..

ppl looking at the arts at the booth..
the ppl there to learn mosaic...


organizer, one of them..

the man is the teacher from taiwan, the girl is one of the students... finished her work when i reached there... i was late.. due to looking for the place... i was so stupid n dumb tat i even forgot to ask for the direction there when i saw one of my school's senior working at the fair.. or volunteering.. have no idea... was in a bad luck day.. have no idea why...
the materials for the mosaic work.. worth rm 40...

step one... take the glue and paste every tiles in place.. ( the scheme for the border was wrong, so they ask me to do as shown in the picture...) (the scheme is the red lines..)

pour the cement in the container, get the ice cream stick ready...

pour a bit of water in... and "corek" and mix it up using the ice cream stick.. dun forget the gloves..
put the mixture on ur plam n massage it till it's smooth and feel like ice cream.. ( very ROUGH ice cream)...
this is aunty nancy's work....
paste the maskin tape first before filling in the cement.. wat a forgetful teacher, he forgot to tell us...

this is mine... pasting maskin tape...

aunty nancy fills up her work...

i'm done wit mine... washed the mosaic and now cleaning the tiles...

tiles have to be clean properly, so no cement sticks on the tiles and it'll be all shiny and smooth..

final step, let it dry and tear off the border'd maskin tape..

my mosaic's finished form, it took quite awhile to dry.. by the time it was half dry, it was oredi night, i took this pic...
on my bed...
this is the clay work i missed out.. it's very cute..!!!
