I think I’m in love ✨ I was bored and I accidentally placed my muller on a clean paper on the side after mulling paints only to discover such beauty from inking on it. As Bob Ross said, there’s no mistakes, only happy accidents. So from the little happy accident, art was made.. of course I thought of making more and adding some strokes from my palette knife to make little muller art prints. They’re definitely going into orders at @joeecheongcreativestudio 😍 #happyaccidents #mullerart #handmadepaints #artisanalwatercolors #handmadewatercolors #handmadewatercolour #makingwatercolors #watercolorartist #abstractwatercolor

04-03-2021 // A new venture, a new gameplan 💪🏻 / Last year out of depression and boredom during the lockdown, I impulsively enrolled in an online course and subsequently received my Diploma in Organic Formulations. I learned alot on creating skincare products and the industry in whole. I was mulling on how to pivot my business as fashion had crashed; I was broke and had no work in sight. / A chance whatsapp message with my friend A (he's a cosmetic chemist who's written formulas for some of the best local products) kinda got the ball rolling. And then coffee with my old client and friend Chai Wei got me so inspired I decided to do this head on. / So I spent the better half of last year experimenting with formulations. We discovered gaps in the market and wanted to create products that address them. Our formulation criteria: • organic when available • 99% vegan (which means we do not use hyaluronic acid as it's extracted from bacteria and combs of cockerels) • safe to use with no nasties • combination of botanicals with trending, advanced cosmeceutical ingredients in correct dosages • clean, effective delivery system with high skin permeability • minimalist packaging which looks great anywhere! / I'm finally rolling out my first range next week. Yes the marketplace is extremely saturated and soft at the moment. For a new brand, we do not have the clout to be visible enough, but I do believe we will gain traction eventually, God willing. Meanwhile, it's back to the lab for more testing, but I can safely say, our formulations are unique and you've not seen them before anywhere else...yet!
