If you hand one thousand artists each a blank book and set 'em loose, you will get back one thousand very different projects. Thus the beauty of creativity and individual expression.

For a recent Kolo event at c!ty'super's Log-On store at Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong, Lie Fhung was one of the artists "set loose" with blank Kolo photo albums. She came back with "hybrid albums" that were exquisite, unique, and very Fhung.

She has a style all her own, as evidenced by this Kolo Newbury photo album project, "Childhood Memories." Here are her comments about the three photos of the project shown above:

Cover Window: This is the chartreuse Kolo Newbury photo album with Soft White Pages. I placed a dried flower between transparent sheets, stamped with decorative border on the "window."

Layout 1: Background paper, appliques and lace are all from Bohemian Rhapsody Kit. File Tab Holder is from Birthday Bliss Kit. All from Ztampf! by Lie Fhung.

Layout 2: The chartreuse green background paper and the colorful floral cutout are from the Year In Revue Add-On Kit . The tag is from the Quiet Joy Kit. The whole layout itself was then mounted onto the album page then stamped with Ztampf! Floralique Clear Stamps. All from Ztampf! by Lie Fhung. Font is Jane Austen. I printed the photo separately then stuck onto the digital print page with KOLO Photo Corners and glue tape.

Many of the products (such as stamps and kits referenced) used in the making of this Kolo Newbury album are her own designs, and can be found at www.ztampf.com

An accomplished "digiscraptist," Fhung is a graphic designer perhaps best known for her ceramics. In her home country Indonesia, where she recently exhibited in Jakarta, she is known as "The Mother of Ceramics." Check out more about Fhung and her intriguing artwork here.
