Customized Orders

2009-12-09T12:23:00.001+08:00

Phew! I am back! :) Still got a few customized orders to complete, thought I'll keep this place updated a bit first.

Two months ago, a customer requested for these customized bookmarks with zodiac beads. Here are the results, and I'm happy that she is satisfied with the results. Thanks, Seet Mui! :)

And here are some customized orders by a customer in Singapore. :)

And then, recently, some orders for metal bookmarks. Somehow, my camera doesn't capture purple objects very well. I always have a problem with that.

Frosties the Snowmen

To grace this Christmas season, look what I made! :) Inspired by an imported beading magazine, I made these snowmen to adorn your ears! Cute little pair, isn't it?

Enough Time For One Post, Maybe

2009-11-30T10:57:00.005+08:00

Since my cousin went to the bank, she has allowed me to use her laptop for now. Yay! So I thought I'd share some of the customizations I've made recently.

I had a request to remake BK016 bookmark - remember the mermaid one with blue and green glass beads? Well, this customer requested to change it to pearls instead, and the result looks pretty grungy + sophisticated. :)

At first, I used white and grey pearls. She also requested to have more sea-themed charms than pearls.

Therefore, BK018 Rosalyn was born! However, my customer preferred all white pearls, so I removed the grey ones. It no longer looked grungy, but it exudes pure sphistication. :)

This is BK019 Rosalyn White.

Hope your friend will be happy with this bookmark, Rosalyn! :)

Being Away

2009-11-30T08:44:00.003+08:00

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I will not be able to reply any e-mails this week as I'm back in my dad's hometown in Ipoh to grieve for the passing of my beloved grandmother. I may not be able to come online as frequently. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

To my friends who have learnt the news and texted me, I sincerely thank you for your kind words and support. :)

Pink Paua

2009-05-16T02:19:00.003+08:00

Gosh.. it's been so difficult to update. A lot of things are going through my life, both good and bad. Trying to cope through, so far so good!

I recently made these. Usually paua shells are blue green (my fave colour!), right? I came across pink-fuchsia tones of paua. Not sure if they are really paua, but I'll call them pink paua!

Chinese Zodiac Bookmarks

Quirkiness is on its way here! I am so crazy over metal bookmarks. Here's a new series that indicates your Chinese zodiac in cute porcelain animal beads! I didn't make all twelve, but two: rat and rooster. If you would like to have it in other animals in the zodiac (dragon, rabbit, pig, etc), please e-mail me. :) Zodiac beads are VERY limited, as I brought in only one set! However, I may get another set if there is a popular demand. Hurry hurry make your order before it's too late!

Here's a look at the Twelve.

Crackled Effect

2009-09-07T18:02:00.004+08:00

I really like the effect of these lovely beads. I actually found them at one of the Burmese bead pedlar's stall in KL, strung into a bracelet. I bought it, took the bracelet apart and used the beads to make earrings instead. Thinking of what else I can do with the remaining beads. :)

Otherwise, it makes a great gift too, for a friend who always has her nose buried in a good book. :)

Swirly Star Necklace

2009-11-21T10:02:00.003+08:00

I think the swirls in the star pendant look really nice. I conjured up this necklace with Christmas in mind, focusing on the star which appeared two thousand years ago to mark the birth of a Messiah. :) Let this lovely and dainty necklace adorn your collarbone!

Cheese!

2009-11-18T15:59:00.003+08:00

That's was my first thought when I saw this chain. Looks quirky, doesn't it? Reminds me of those cartoonish cheese with holes in them.

My colleague requested for this customized set. She could hardly keep her excitement down and asked me every day at work about her bracelet and earrings which were in the making. :p So cute la you, June!

Christmas is coming! Snowdrops are falling! Teehee. :) Here's a bracelet I've created, with white, purity and snowdrops in mind. A pair of tiny flying birds adorn the toggle clasp. I didn't like the idea of putting just one bird because it'd look lonely there, so I added a friend!

Vintage Flowers

2009-11-14T14:09:00.005+08:00

Here's a bracelet I've created last night - inspired by a design in this book called French-Inspired Jewelry by Kaari Meng which my friend bought for my birthday. Absolutely love the flowers, leaves and butterflies combination!

A few of the glass flowers are very slightly chipped though, but that does not affect the overall look of the bracelet. I'll have to say, this bracelet is not for fussy buyers? :p

Don't you think the mermaid looks gorgeous? :) I saw them in one of the beadshops I frequent and I knew I had to get them. The colours of the beads are refreshing to the eye too, with seashell and seahorse charms to complement the oceanic theme.

Tada! My new creation and I'm proud of it. Isn't it cute to carry a little wire bird's nest on your finger? And oh, I've included a little shell bird too, to look after the eggs. :)
