Original to Digital Pt 2

Some picture of my past work that I turned into digitally.

sewing, jewellery and something new

i've gone back to my creative roots of sewing. i am nearly done with re-designing a cardigan. i changed the buttons and such. pictures will be coming soon. I also made a pair of earrings for myself, which is part of my "elegant femininity" section. I'm planning idea launch a website as well, besides selling my items in etsy. I've started practising a little bit on drawing, painting and crayons. Thus, I'm trying other new things I can think of as well. I may consider trying out transfers on clothing (which shall come later) and other things I may consider a form of art.

So, just so you know, I have not disappeared. I have just been a little quiet, studying, applying for jobs, being a mummy to my daughter, basically entertaining the little cheeky monkey as well as brainstorming and trying to make something creative.

Well, it's late and I'm tired.

So, goodatoodlesnights! :)

Anyone for elegance??

I've late been working on making some lovely, sweet and feminine earrings for the women who deserves to be spoilt with elegance and poise.

Here is a few earrings I have recently made.

Butterfly earrings- made using swarovski crystal beads and fresh water pearls.


Sweet Feminine earrings- made using rose quartz and swarovski crystal.


Midnight Magic-Swarovski Crystals and fresh water pearls.


And, I also made a pendant which goes well with the Butterfly earrings. However, the pendant and earring set were custom made for a customer.



So, anyone interested in custom order and those who wants to have that little bit of elegant touch, please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you do not have paypal, although, I highly feel that paypal is the safest way of payment, I offer other alternatives.

For more photo updates, please refer to my flickr.

It's back to work!

Now, it's back to work for me. Last night, I have updated my flickr with many of the past jewelleries I've made. And that same night too, I've finished making OOAK beaded butterfly necklace which photos will be loaded in my Flickr shortly. Tomorrow, I'll be off to check out some wholesalers for supplies and more bead. I've also considered in cleaning up my inventory.

I got some sticker labels for printing and also more hard papers to print business cards, so I am really working my butt off!!

Alrighty now, I shall depart. But just to let you know that I am busily making beautiful, lovely, cute things for beautiful, lovely, cute people :)

Rescued and Restored Antique Style Brass Pendant

Here is a Before and After shot of the pendant I was working on. I felt completely proud of what I have achieved for this particular piece.



I got these pendants from a flea market at a really bargain price too. Anyway, what I used for the newly made pendant are GENUINE, 100% Swarovski crystal rhinestones and two fresh water Pearls. Now,doesn't the pendant look so amazing!?! It also comes with a gold woven style chain. Simply perfect!

I thought I'd share my latest work. I just finished working on another piece which I shall post in here shortly.

Work in Progress

So, I have not been around since my last post. Well, I am currently making more new funky jewelleries or jewelries to fill your eyes and bellies with content. Okay, they are not edible but close to being so anyway :) Maybe I should have typed your hearts instead of bellies. Does that sound better??

Anyway, if you want to view some new work of mine, do visit my flickr.

It's BEEN A LONG.......

...time since I blogged in here. I do apologise for my disappearance. And please, if it does happen again and again, you will already know that I'm either away, or just simply busy.

The good news is I have been making jewelleries. I've made a few pieces of earrings, 3 necklaces of which 1 my bumble bee decided to break. Luckily, she gave the beads to me. Smart little cookie! I'm planning to go to Cottage Patch (a shop of sewing materials) today to get some little bits and pieces. I've run out of felt and cotton fabrics as I am planning to organize a jewellery tea party for the ladies and gents if interested. Undecided though as unsure how many I'll end up making, whether or not I have ample time to do so (which I think I should have).

Apart from that, since my last blog, I've been away enjoying my few days in Bali, Indonesia. It was so much fun. I really enjoyed it. There were so many bead shops around. I went to one and was totally balistic. I was ALL BONKERS and gone GAGA. I wished I could live in a room full of beads and never have to go to the shop again, but then where's the thrill in not going to one?? I might just as well sell beads hey! :)

Okay, that is all from moi. Adios! Sayonara! Au Revoir!

Oh Oh Oh OH

Okay, you can ignore the title...lol I was just listening to THE SOUNDS and singing to it too..not loudly of course. Gosh, my voice doesnt sound good when I sing...terrible I say.

But anyway, just thought I'd share with you what I have made. This first picture, I made for my sister..I called it "Pink and Punk Black Hearts". Something about pink and black, always reminds me of pop punk for some reason.

What do you think? I can custom make using a variation of colours of beads to match with these black catseye heart shaped beads.

Then I have these other ones......here they come in style!! ;)

This is the dice revolution!! And there's more!!! ;D

Comes with a pair of earrings and..... (I am wasting a lot of precious space aren't I?) lol Well, this is a set which I made (without the ring..not enough of these dice beads) I made the bracelet memory wire,

I made the earrings using wire and the pendant......(below) was made using wire as well and lots of creativity happening too! Now, we go to the finale of this particular pieces taken together as a family set (without the ring) down below.

And I call this "It's a Dice World Out There"

Mad Over Memory Wires!!

Yes, they're my new favourite springy wire to work with! They are best to use when you have plenty of leftover seed beads and other beads, you need to get rid off. I have made 9 memory wire bracelets/bangles, 1 last night and 2 today. I have so many more seed beads and other beads so still planning what other colours I can use to mix them with.

Once you get into this MEMORY WIRE hype, there's not stopping at all!

I gave it a try with the RED NOSE DAY (charity) one, and then I thought, "my these memory wires are so fun to work with! I just have to make more!" =)

Very, very addictive, and fellow beaders who work with memory wires..tell me you agree with me ;)

I reckon when I've finishe using up the memory wires for bracelet making, I'm going to get the ones for necklaces and rings.

Enjoy the photos! =)

GO ECO! &weekend

go to http://www.ecoist.com

I just found this interesting website stated above which I have linked on my blog (you will notice it anyway). It focuses on handmade, recycled weaving handbags and belts. Gosh, how I wish I listened well to my art teacher back in primary school during one of the art topics on weaving. Now I know how vitally important some of the things I learnt during those time and how I could have put them in use for today!

At least, I know how to sew =) That's one good thing I have taught myself..oh and not forgetting beading as well. Tee hee hee.

I reckon I will give it a go-self-teach myself the art of weaving. I have loads of unused mags, so going to see what interesting things I can do out of them, maybe make some awesome pendants (still focusing on jewelleries and accessories).

Anyway, went to Planet Organic this evening and was looking for the energy saving light bulbs, but they ran out of those, so going to check them out on Monday, since they won't have stocks until next week. But I managed to get some food for my bumble bee, DH got some organic popcorn hehe whereas I got some yummy food for children, but for myself as they are simply delicious to be eaten. Yes, it's weird of me to do so, but it's simply yummy!!

Oh well, I do hope you all....

welcome fellow earthlings...

Okay, don't I just sound like one of those aliens from planet Mars???
Anyway, I have nothing to do with the UFO, but don't want to get into detail. Anyway, I wanted to type more on my profile but it takes too much space and thought I'd just do it on here instead.
I make jewelleries (jewelries for some of you) and accessories. I'm planning to doddle designs and do more sewing on clothing, but that will come some time after NEW YEAR. I can't believe 2007 is coming SO SOON! I use all kinds of materials: bead, button, fabrics.....and many. I try to make a variety of jewelries (jewelleries) and accessories, and incredibly with a baby weighing on both my shoulders, I still manage to find the time to juggle on making artsy stuff, typing on livejournal and on here, updating my website as much as possible, and many more.
Perhaps, when she's older now, it is much easier. I'm glad I only have one for now....phew! Will be a long way until I have another one though....
If you'd like to preview my website, here's the link to it: http://www.freewebs.com/eclectic-b
I'm on Myspace as well if you'd like to add me and don't forget Livejournal too!
Alrighty then, I'm so sorry this is rather short. I promise I will post more tomorrow when I'm not too drained.
