Thoughts...

...that I want to share with you. I know some of you will agree and some won't. But I hope these thoughts will help you in some way..

Criticisms should ALWAYS be looked at POSITIVELY. 

How can a group function well if the people involved are not HONEST with each other? 

ISSUES should always be resolved.

It is really hard to know if people are really TRUE. 

Strive to make your own style. If you are just constantly "inspired by" the works of someone, it will not help you that much in developing the style that you can call your own. 

"Utang na Loob" is a pinoy trait that will live on forever. 

Good night everyone! TGIF tomorrow!

Flowery Pieces again...

Just a quick post before I clean the house haha:) 

I made two new floral adornments again. I was inspired by this plant..

Picture was taken by my husband when we went to the Royal Botanic Garden in Melbourne. 

I thought of making lots of petals for each flower..each on top of the other. I came up with two new designs. Here they are: 

More pics on myFB Page 

I will list them soon in my Etsy shop. 

Yahoo, friday already! Have a happy weekend everyone! 

Been a long time..

Whaaat?!?! I haven't written anything here for almost a month!! Time really flies so fast. I was really busy finishing orders, making projects and taking care of my family. I woke up early and checked out my blog and was so surprised that my last entry was in May! So here I am trying to make it up to my blog! Hello blogger, nice to see you again! haha :D

For the past month, I've been really addicted to using the UV resin gloss I bought. I kept on thinking of so many things to mix with it! It is really very easy to use and I already bought my own UV lamp for curing it. It's so hard to just wait for the sun to shine just to cure it, esp. now that winter is coming. So far, most of the lockets I made with it  were easily sold. So I think, I will be making more! Here are some accessories I made with the gloss..

lockets..

rings...

And I used it on the tummy of this doll locket! :)

I had this pocket watch base for the longest time. I still didn't know what to do with it. It was from a pocket watch that I disassembled because I used the cover as a mold. I found it again while going through my stash of recyclables! I thought of a romantic design for it. So here it is..I called it "Dance like no one is watching" ..

I will be listing this soon in my etsy shop:)

I also made my first doll locket keychain! A client requested for this design and I was very happy to make it for her! She also asked me if I can put a cute heart inside. She will be going overseas and she wants to give this keepsake to her best friend. Here it is..

I think I'm getting the right shape already for this doll lockets. An "egg-shape" does really make them cuter and more adorable! haha

here's the heart inside! :)

I will be starting on more new doll lockets that I will sending to the Philippines. So another busy month for me. Wish me luck! 

How about you? What are you up to now with your crafting or claying?:) 

Have a happy weekend! Liam and I will just be spending our day at home...wishing daddy will be home soon. 

Busy, busy...

I've been busy these past few days making new stuff and completing some custom orders. I really love the thrill of experimenting and thinking of new designs! Recently, I've been playing with  the Lisa Pavelka Gloss I bought months ago. I used it with clay a couple of times already.  And then I thought of using it without clay and try mixing it up with the charms, rhinestones and watch gears that I haven't played with for so long and are left untouched in their plastic boxes.  I had so much fun and I really looooved how they turned out!!! Here are the lockets plus a pair of earrings I made..

I also made another animal locket. I already tried making an elephant twice. But the ears and trunk weren't that strong and fell off. Oh poor Elephant! haha So, a dear friend named, Oshee taught me how to make it stronger by adding wires inside! Now, I'm happy as a bee because finally I made a very strong "ear-d" and strong "trunk-d" Elephant! yey!! 

 I also made new russian doll lockets.

This is my WIP now...already baked and ready to be turned into something Swellegant. haha:) 

I'm hoping for good weather again tomorrow so that I can start taking good pictues of the new stuff. They will all be listed soon in my Etsy shop! Good night everyone! 

A Turtle, Bee and Stained Glass Cuff...

Finally, I made two new animal lockets! A turtle and a bee! 

Thank you again to hubby for taking the pics. :) I will be listing them soon in my Etsy shop! 

 I also finished a custom order...another stained glass cuff!! Making it was quite a challenge! It went in the oven 3 times. Applying the fimo deco gel (and letting it dry using the heat gun) took me an hour. After applying the metal coating, I need to wait for 72 hours for it to completely dry. So after 3-4 days, finally ...I finished it! haha Here it is..

I hope my client will love it!:) 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
