Christmas time is here!

It's the most wonderful time of the year... so the song goes. And this year Square Art is giving you more reasons to celebrate this season of giving with our Christmas-themed kits! Each kit will be given a complimentary gift wrap if you let us know that it will be given as a gift. Get one for a loved one today!

More new kits coming up!

Hi everyone! I hope all of you are preparing to close the year in a big way. I simply cannot believe that it is October already and as I was counting off the months to December, I honestly did not know that it was less than 3 months away!

Back when I was 6 or 7, I used to do a countdown towards Christmas which always meant new dresses and shoes, and lots of presents! I used to have a McDonald's calendar colouring book and I usually X'ed out the dates leading towards Christmas. Fast-forward to the present day, even though I no longer have a McDonald's calendar, I still have the same excited feeling whenever Christmas is approaching! Oooh, presents! And never too early to start listening to Christmas carols! :D

So this year, we are preparing some new items specially for you this Christmas - a season of love and giving. Some of the kits are Christmas-themed, some of them are not. This year, if you are planning to give something to your loved ones, why not get them a DIY Kit to work on themselves? Also, if you are planning on giving it as a gift, let us know and we will gift wrap your item at NO EXTRA CHARGE!

Here's what's coming soon:

Another good news is that we are going to be participating in the next Markets @ Jaya One this October 29th. If you would like first dips on our new designs, come find us then! More details on this later! :)

Home Improvement Challenge

We've been quiet for awhile now, just taking a break from the craft fairs and working on some personal projects of our own. But now it's time to stir things up and have a little fun! And what better way to do it then to put out a Home Improvement Challenge for all of you.

It's easy, simply use our mosaic tiles to dress up something in your home, like a vase or a photo frame. Other rules are use your creativity and don't limit your imagination. There are no prizes (it's all for the love of the art) but bragging rights and a warm feeling of self-satisfaction is yours if you wish to participate. Then, send us a picture of your item with a mini description and we will post them up on our blog! Easy peasy!

As a start, let me know which would you like me to work on:

Mosaic Art for the Little Ones

As I was thinking today of the future of Square Art and how we can reach out to the masses, my thoughts veered to how kids react to our mosaic tiles. In previous craft fairs, we would see children of all ages reaching out to the colourful tiles and pictures and even their parents were drawn to their enthusiasm. We even had a lovely buyer who bought some tiles for children to create lovely pieces as Mother's Day gifts for a local Sunday School. Then I thought, will it end up with the parents doing most of the work (like one parent we met who was afraid of that) or will the children enjoy doing it by themselves?

Then I stumbled into this video of children creating mosaic art using egg shells. It shows that given the right instruction and direction, children are able to express themselves confidently through art. Watch right through the end when they describe what they did :)

Perhaps, given the right encouragement and passion, they will be able to come out with works of art such as these in the future:

Note: Square Art sells acrylic mosaic tiles and DIY mosaic kits both for children and adults alike. Some of the tiles are small and children will require adult supervision. However, these kits are good for children ages 6 and up and are great for them to express themselves through art and as a new hobby. ^CL

We were at.....

... Lex, Empire Gallery Subang on the 5th March. Very encouraging to have many crafters and non-crafters who adores our mosaic tiles! Oh, I just wished we had more colours and more tile kits to offer last Saturday... but fear not! We're bringing in MORE colours and MORE kits soon!!!
