Recent Updates

Been experimenting with random ways to perfect my teenie thingy recently. I'm thinking that it is time to put my little stuff for sale soon. Therefore I had been visiting some art markets and also look at Etsy to gain some inspirations and see how it actually works. ^_^

Hope it will be very very very soon that I get my own little handmade shop open. Here is some sneak peak at my recent work.

Wish me success.. xD 

Testing with my new lens

I've just bought a new macro lens for my D90. To test it out, I'd just my little miniature. I'm quite happy with what a macro lens can do. There's still a lot to learn before I can totally control this lens. Haha..

During 2012 Chinese New Year, our group of friends decided to have a reunion dinner (for the 1st time ever..xD). I wanted to have some little tiny souvenirs for my friends. It was very last minute and I just start making them in the morning itself. Haha.. So the only thing that I can do fast and quick and without any error, is ORANGES. xD 

It fits for CNY celebration as well. ^_^

1st Anniversary

I just remember that Tweenie Weenie had the same birthday as mine. Di li da la.. 1 year had passed. That's so fast. I remember I created this blog to share my miniature and craft passion, but I guess I did not get too far with it isn't it? I did not update this blog a lot, moreover, now since I'm at UK, I did not work on my craft items. I guess I had somehow, abandon it.. T_T

However, since it is Tweenie Weenie 1st anniversary, I would really like to wish her 

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

No cake for you though, you would have to bear with the old cakes.. ^^

Let me share with you all some of the cakes that I had done previously.

Cakes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWEENIE WEENIE!!!

Pandan Frenzy

Pandan Layered 

This little cake was done ages ago.. If I remember correctly, it's nearly 2 years ago..That time I just discovered felt craft and am so excited about it. The technique was from a craft book but the design is my own. I used whatever things I have to decorate this cake and actually I'm quite pleased with it. It's been some time since I make them and as I don't have the equipment to do craft now, I miss them so much.

Studio for Crafting

Since coming to Nottingham, I had not been in touch with any craft items and after 40 over days, I finally starts to miss them. Thinking about all my craft materials at my home is terrible...

I actually wanted a real life studio where I can have a personal space to craft without caring I burn the table top or smudge the the floor with my colours, or scratch any surface with my never-ending-cutting-with-cutter-activities. This studio doesn't need to be very big in size. In fact, just the small size..about the size of my bedroom will do. Inside this studio, there would be a craft table, super big size, so I can put all my things on it and never have to clear them..(LOL..) and behind me would be the wall with cork-board so I can put all memo and photographs there. All along side the wall would be racks and cupboards for all my craft items and stuff. Ample of space is needed as I would always be adding things into it. Then there would also have a table with ovens and other equipment so it would be convenient. Maybe a small sink would be a good idea as well. Oh! And don't forget about a display shelf for me to display my craft! This would be a white shelves with glass door and have to be clear glass so everyone could look into it without opening the doors. Another important items for the studio which I nearly overlook would be a television and dvd set. This is very very important as well because I love to watch the tv while I work. It make the crafting process so much more relaxing and fun to do. Isn't it? That's what I love about crafting. I don't have to worry about concentration as I could do both things together. (Haha..)

The studio room would have to be in my favourite colours. The wall behind my chair would be light pink and the others could be in white. White might seem boring but it is the best colour for making the room spacious, clean and bright. It would be necessary as I wouldn't clean my studio often. (^_^")

Air-conditioning is very very very important as fan would be blowing my stuff everywhere.

I think that will serve very well for my crafting needs. Currently, I did all my craft all over my home, inside my room (which will make my room extremely dirty), at the living room (which means I have to clear up before dinner time... ), and open-a-table-and-do-anywhere-in-the-house (but this table couldn't fit everything and is only temporary). Not quite a good idea though. My idea of a studio is because I want all my craft items and materials in places where I could browse and decide which to use instead of them all stuck inside boxes underneath my bed and table, which I need to open one by one if I need them. Therefore, sometimes, I just forget about it and use whatever it is on the table. Pathetic..

So, after my explanation, don't you guys think that having a craft studio is necessary? It is important isn't it? It is a dream and it will come true one day. Not now though, as my home doesn't have enough rooms... T_T

(hmm..to fullfill my dream maybe I could do a 3d version of it 1st? haha)

Miniature Pet World

I'm currently at Nottingham, UK for my master studies. Will be here roughly a year. So, I don't think I could make any miniature as all my tools are left behind at Malaysia. Anyway, before I depart for UK, I did these miniatures to my heart content.

This Pet World is my latest creation.

Pet World box set

All the things inside

I'm so excited when opening this box set as it contains miniature doggies.. So damn cute! Haha.. And the colours are so striking that I really have fun making it.

Mini tin food for puppoes and kitties

Boxes of puppies food

Cuties 

Puppy basket and magazines and collar and bone-shaped pillow

Pillow with puppy foot print

This little pillow is sew by yours truly. A little bit cacat but I think it's cute. LOL..

Felt chair + Pillow

This little pillow on the chair is sew by yours truly as well. Haha.. And the lace is just UHU to it.. The middle part is really sew and I really like the effect.

Doggies collar and clothes hanger and doggies coat

The doggie coat is soo cute but it's really hard to make as I don't understand the instruction. So I just made it my own way. Haha.. The clothes hanger is so cute to make.. and really easy as well. I learn a new thing. But that dog collar is a bit hard and need some patient as the parts are so small you need delicate fingers. I don't have. ^^"

Kitty house and her bowl of water

This kitty house is really a joy to make. Simple yet soooo cute. The colours are nice, the wood is easy to stick and the shape is interesting. Have never made anything like this before. Haha..

Cabinet for the pet shop

Those cabinets are darlings. Looks sooooooooo cute inside the shop. That's my dream shop. If I were to have a pet shop, I would definitely have some cabinets like those inside. Really makes the whole shop lighten up. Don't you agree?

Pet World exterior

Alright. After I put everything inside, this is what we see from the outside. When I saw those cute little thingy inside from the window, my heart melts. Haha..

The signage and awning

The black rail that hold the signage is purely twisted by me. Haha.. I want credit for it as it is not easy to do. For others maybe yes but for me, I don't have the knack for twisting them. So it became not perfect. Haha..

The doggie signage

This looks easy to do right? Cut the picture and paste it on the wood. But I tell you.. cutting the dog face is NOT easy! Its head have a lot of fur thus a lot of shape. So I struggle with it.. =.=

All things inside cabinets

Doggie and Kitty

I always love the part where I have assemble all the tiny tiny things and all left to do is to put them inside cabinets and etc. This is the part where I can arrange to my heart content and as I like. It's really the fun part. Sometime I even wish I don't stick them so I can arrange them anytime. Haha.. But if I do that, it will fall when I move them around. LOL..

Everything inside

Everything is in order now. When I see them inside, I'm really happy. And will get very excited. My family couldn't understand why am I so excited with them. Haha.. But it's really really cute!  ^^
