Clay Fest 2011

Clay Fest 2011 was a success! Two thumbs up to the Beadlady for organizing such a wonderful event! I had a really good time catching up with my "claying" friends! It was also fun meeting new clayists (and the number just keeps on growing!) Lots of fun activities and demos during the 2 day event! I think compared to last year, the number of exhibitors doubled! Here are pics of some of the activities and booths...

Journal Project..DONE! :)

Oh blog..i missed you. After a very long break, here i am again. :)

I'm finally done with my journal project! yahoo! I really love the way it turned out! Referring to my post way way back..i was supposed to use a different journal ( the cover has butterflies on it) but changed my mind..because last month, i bought a Moleskin sketchbook! I bought one because i really have to have a book where i can put all the designs and projects that i have in mind. I was decided to look for one with very nice paper and will really last for a long, long time. So now I bid goodbye to tissue and scratch paper sketches. haha:) It was really expensive but worth it! The paper inside is so nice to use for drawing and coloring. In other words..SULIT!!

For this project, i used Beadlady Sparklers (mica pigment powders). They are indeed little stars in a jar! They really add shimmer and dimension to your work.

Without further ado..here's my journal/sketchbook..

Here's the first sketch that i made..

And here's my next project! A Shadow Box for my mom. Can't wait to start on it:) I hope that I will get it right! I need to finish it before her birthday.

More about shadow boxes in my next blog. See you again soon!:)

I got an early christmas present from hubby!! I'm so happy! I bought a case for it already. Liam and I went around in eastwood to test it. I also used it to take pictures of my work!:)

The colors are so vivid and there are so many more features that are really cool. Here are the shots that i made! I love it!:)

Christmas!

In a few weeks time...it's christmas once again! I thought this year will be not be a not so busy season for me but i was wrong! :) Orders to be finished, gifts to be bought, some packing for a trip to be done, christmas dinners to attend to..hay the list just goes on and on! But i'm not complaining! haha :) I just can't wait to have a very long vacation..nothing to think about but just relax and enjoy with my family!

So far, i've finished a bulk order, some rose full lockets, bracelets and now i'm scheduled to finish another batch of rose full of lockets!! Funny but i really don't get tired making those! haha i love thinking of colors that can go well together!
