a gift for a friend. lovely pale blue fabric coupled with 2 buttons of different size. Inner lining is made of the same fabric. All hand-sewn.

I'm seriously contemplating to get a sewing machine but I have no idea how to go about it. But I'm an impulse buyer, might just pop into a shop and get it. =)

Yes, yes, I have heard you! I have not gone M.I.A! I'm still beading and beading and exploring other crafts (knitting, crochet, fabric..., my fingers are that itchy la). Just that I have not been effective in posting up the pictures (read: lazy). To compensate, I'm offering free normal postage as of now! So now I'm finally back, and of course, with a truckload of pictures!

I'm in the midst of updating my blog page, you can see the new order page on the right. Simply fill in the information as stated and ta da! I will get back to you asap. =)

Chip beads of varying size, they are made of rose quartz. And (drums roll) they are made by my mother! She took up a beading course (simple stringing bracelets and such) and this is the result of her skills. Made of toggle eye clasp, it's easy and convenient to wear and take it off yourself.

Lady bird climbing up the flower. That's the concept I had in mind. I had the lady bird bead for quite a while, was intending to make it and the flower into a pair of earrings but I think this is better. =) Kinds of complement with the below earrings. What with the little blue flower and all.

Turquoise stones as the main focal beads. This piece screams PRETTY with the little blue flowers and the other colourful corals!!! (I brought them from the US)
And I also made a ring to go with it. (See above)

Cute dinosaur made from felt. Hand made purse with zipper on top. Lining inside the purse. Can hold the usual cards and stuff including a handphone (For my model, that is).

Materials used: Amazonite (I heart them!) as the focal bead and different colours of swaroski crystals.

The colours of the swaroski crystals are darkish because of the lighting but rest assured that it is lighter and more colourful in real life.

Price: S$20

I can't remember what this is called... Amirugumi or smth. Pardon me if I'm wrong. It's a type of pokemon. And my sister is crazy over them, that's why she asked me to make this for her. It some sort looks like Pikachu though. Ha.

Clay-ing

I'm now hooked on playing with clay! My latest obsession. I'm now making clay beads, would progress to making clay figurines later. 2nd pic is to show is to show that the triangles are actually 3d, not flat. Looks like a cookie ah with pink chips. ha.

Customised

As requested, this turns out to be a wristlet cum pouch.

The back of the pouch.

Double felt used for the wristlet part. For the strap, it's those velvet material so it won't cut into your wrist or what if you carry for a long time.

Lining to ensure quality.

Sorry it's a bit small, but it's the centre one. I may try the others for fun. Or if anyone likes, email me for customisation. Customisation is also at a flat rate of S$10 excluding postage. =)
