“Kueh tutu” is a savoury rice flour cake steamed with either desiccated coconut, palm sugar, or peanut fillings. Traditionally eaten at breakfast, they are sold on pieces of pandan (screwpine) leaf for extra fragrance. The “kueh tutu” eraser is a creative invention that uses this local snack out of its context and yet retains its original form.

The primary basis for the greeting card stems from the notion of ‘making’. It is something rare at this present day due to the instant availability of many things, both physically and digitally. The proliferation of mediums like SMS has reduced the process of conveying personal messages into mere seconds of semi-automated finger actions. Thus, the designer hopes to slow things down to bring back the joy [as well as pain] of creating something by hand.

Each card contains a hidden wish, hope, or dream that is symbolically represented by a pair of delicate wings. When a card is bought, written, and given to another, the wings take flight and “come to life” — physically transported by air or sea as well as immaterially from the page into the mind and thoughts of the receiver. Card covers in these 5 emotions: sorry, thank you, congratulations, condolences, love.
