  1. Crochet Flower With Button

    August 18, 2010 by admin

    I managed to get buttons when I went to Daiso at The Curve last 2 weeks.

    I know I could get more varieties for buttons if I go to sewing materials shop but it would mean that I have to go to KL for such purpose..huhu! The nearest will be in Taipan USJ but then it will be a hassle to find parking spot.

    So here is the result after I sew the buttons on the crochet flowers.

    flowerbutton

    I am not sure what I want to do with these flowers. The initial plan is to make bookmark or tag and embellish it with the flower but at the moment I don’t have plain cardstocks to do so. It will take some time for me to sort out my collection of patterned papers of cardstock quality that is suitable with those flowers.

  2. The Crochet Rose

    August 7, 2010 by admin

    I managed to try crocheting roses..yeay! Have been experimenting with all the yarns I have, some are OK, some could be worse..haha! But still it does look like a rose. If only those people who share the instructions online would be generous to mention what type and brand of yarns they used…but even then I am not sure if I can get those brands in Malaysia.

    BTW, the red one was crocheted using DMC Babylon No.10 (which was bought earlier for tatting) and it was tedious as it is almost like crocheting using thread instead of the bulky yarn.

    crochetroses

    This one is crocheted using the most expensive yarn I have in my possession. Went to the shop in Subang Parade and the lady there suggested me to buy this ball of yarn, which costs me RM30. But it is good for crochet as the yarn doesn’t turn furry.

    darkpinkrose

    Oh, since I replenished some embellishment for my scrapbooking and card making, I decided to make use of the Prima Crystals and Pearls just for decoration purpose.

    primapearls

    If I were to use the crochet rose later on bags, headband or sun hat, I might have to sew round pearl in the centre of the rose instead of using the self adhesive pearl. But that would be another project to tackle. For now I still need to practise all the basic stitches I learn like double crochet, treble crochet, slip knot etc.

  3. Bunga Telur Bunga Stokin

    June 28, 2010 by admin

    Over the year, I have been asked by many interested students whether I will conduct any class for bunga stokin.

    bungasiett2

    So after going through the materials I have, I decided to teach any interested students for bunga stokin class on 17 July 2010 this type of bunga telur.

    bungatelur

    I will also do demo on how to make kipas organza (in case anyone still interested to do that kind of bunga telur), how to tie the ribbons into bow and how to do bunga telur gantung.

    On the practical part, the students will do bunga telur on bamboo stick like in the above picture and make butterfly from stokin. I am thinking of making the butterfly into corsage instead of teaching them to do bunga dulang mini.

    Come and join the class on 17th July as it is limited to 6 students. This is the first bunga stokin class I will conduct for the year 2010.

  4. A Birthday Card

    June 17, 2010 by admin

    bdaycard1

    After almost 2 years of not doing any card, I decided to take part in a blog candy ran by Shirl Leong at her blog Craftee Guiri in conjuction with her husband birthday this coming 28th June.

    Thanks to her blog I found another blog candy ran by Scrapbooking All Sorts – which ends on June 30th. Since the requirement is to submit any latest papercraft project, I think this birthday card will do for a start.

    At first I wanted to make an easel card, but after searching through all the materials I have, I found a pack of unopened blank cards. Those white blank cards are 5 1/2 x 4 inch once folded..(which I think is quite small, as I rather love getting a bigger card)

    Anyway, once I have completed the card, I realized that I should have put eyelet brads on the happy birthday sentiment before I attach it to the background..huhu!

    Here are the recipes:

    Paper : Daisy D No.13, My Mind’s Eye Signature Suite- World of Play, Dotted Play/Ring Around The rosy, Wild Asparagus

    Stamp: Heidi Swapp Happy Birthday

    Versa Magic Chalk Ink – Midnight Black, Thatched Straw

    Brilliance Pigment Ink – Pearlescent Crimson, Coffee Bean

    Prima flowers, ribbon, clear rhinestones, Memory Book Glue Dots, Supertac Glue

  5. Tatting

    June 7, 2010 by admin

    I was reading a fellow crafter’s blog when I saw a pretty butterfly she tatted. I’ve never heard about tatting before so I browsed and read through whatever I could find online about tatting.

    First of all, you need to have a tatting shuttle. So a trip to Art Friend the other day made me bought a shuttle by DMC. Later I found out that there is another shuttle brand Clover sold at Maycraft. The shop is located in Taipan USJ. Will be visiting the shop one of these days..heh!

    tattingshuttle

    The funny part was once I bought the shuttle and a ball of thread, I have no idea how to wind the thread onto the bobbin. It took me the whole night to figure out that you can actually push the bobbin from the middle of the shuttle out, wind the thread and push it back inside the shuttle..huhu!

    And it took me another 2 days to figure out how to do the basic of double stitch, a picot and a ring.

    tatting1

    Somehow it is harder when you are self taught. I usually will go for a basic class for any new art and craft that I want to learn. It is easier when you have an instructor to ask every time some doubt or confusion arises.

    Despite that I am thankful that there are many tatters out there who are willing to share via blog and videos on Youtube. I hope once I have mastered the basic techniques of tatting, I would be able to share in this blog so that other beginners in tatting will not waste so much time like I did learning the basic.

  6. Agar-Agar Kering

    May 27, 2010 by admin

    When I wrote about hantaran agar-agar kering for my niece in 2008, many people commented and asked for the same type of agar-agar. Please be informed that the supplier is no longer making that rose agar-agar kering.

    However through blogging, I found another person based in Bukit Mertajam who makes agar-agar kering for wedding favors.

    agarkering1

    These are some of the pictures of agar-agar kering she makes.

    agarkering2

    If you are interested, please contact her directly at her blog – AdamShoppe.

    agarkering3

    I’m thinking of ordering some for Hari Raya this year. I have not eaten such delicacy for ages. No one makes kuih muih lama during Hari Raya open house anymore.

    agarkering4

    I am not sure whether she can make agar-agar kering in rose shapes. Will have to ask her one of these days. I’m sure if she can make it, it would be a great idea for gubahan hantaran.

  7. Bunga Dip For Hantaran

    May 14, 2010 by admin

    The picture is not doing any justice to the bunga dip sample I made a few days ago. I am trying to save the whole bottle of dip hitam I bought in January.

    Since I have tried red and black combination earlier, I thought this time I will do black, silver and white combination for this bunga dulang mini.

    silverblackdip1

    For the rose, I tried making the petals curvy by pinching the wire before dipping into the dip solution. I think I prefer the simpler style I taught in class.

    For the glitter effect, I used silver glitter instead of the usual rainbow dust.

    Not really the best sample, but after a long time not experimenting with new creation, this should be a good start.

  8. Decoupage With Crackle On A Bottle

    May 11, 2010 by admin

    It has been more than 6 weeks since I last wrote about the crackle and decoupage project.

    peachtazo

    The bottle which is originally a Tazo Tea with peach flavor has been mailed to the recipient before the dateline of the Gift Exchange. I hope she likes what I’ve done with it.

    I applied Jo Sonja Opal Dust on the peach and leaves motifs, I might have overdo it as you can see the big pearly, greenish dots on the motif in the picture above.

    As always the picture didn’t do any justice. I prefer viewing the real bottle.

    I have another bottle but with white background, thus the crackle effect is not really prominent. Still thinking whether I should repaint that bottle.

  9. Another Crackle Work-In-Progress Project

    March 30, 2010 by admin

    I am in the midst of completing this crackle project for exchange gift (EG) in one of the local forums. The theme is crackle and decoupage.

    crackbottle1

    I think I already mastered the technique of crackle using Plaid FolkArt Crackle Medium. This time instead of the usual white basecoat, I used Jo Sonja Carbon Black.

    crackclseup

    For the topcoat I used Americana Antique Gold. I feel that using a black basecoat makes the crackle more significant. I will share the picture of the decoupage bottle later. Oh, for this glass bottle, I applied sealer to make sure that the basecoat acrylic paint will stick nicely once painted on the bottle surface.

  10. Paper Napkin For Decoupage

    March 15, 2010 by admin

    I love collecting paper napkins, especially one with fruits motif. This is one napkin that I bought from a seller online more than a year ago.

    applenapkin

    I have done decoupage on tins using paper napkins with motifs like peach and lemon. I will share the pictures later. At the moment I am waiting for the work-in-progress tin to dry out so that I can apply the gloss varnish. This apple motif will be added in the fruits collection soon!
