Resin Jewellery: Holiday

You would have knew am a handbag, brooch & jewellery person

if you have been following my blog for awhile.

Made by your truly and it's my favourite

My first mission for the year - learning how to make resin jewellery. Ticked.

I have booked myself into learning how to make resin jewellery when I was pregnant with baby B (bub #2). So you can imagine it has been a long wait to get my head around learning how to make it to this workshop.

so these are a few things I made during the class

Just realized these 3 bangles look like traffic lights when you wearing them together.

How funny is that!?

Unfortunately the class did not teach you how to make the mould. So that will be my next task. I have been lurking online and clicking away those DIY tutorial video clip. It seems manageable. Only thing is to wish for more hours in a day :)

why I got sucked into liking this one too.

This one reminds me of my childhood.

I own my first leather handbag when I was 12 years old.

Love the smell of leather. The touch of the material.

Travel with my elder brother to Singapore by bus

from Malaysia during the school holidays.

Walk and hunt from street to street, from shops to shops.

Used to enjoy the shopping in Singapore when I was younger.

Turquoise is a very me colour.

So which handbag is your favourite above all? X

I had an eye on 2 of this books when I was at one of the local shop few weeks ago.

And I found that Amazon is selling cheaper than Fishpond.

Thank goodness for strong Aussie Dollar! :))

So it finally arrived sometime this week.

Was doing the giddyup dancing when the parcel arrived :))

Print & Pattern!! WOOHOO!!

I get to know about Print & Pattern when I started blogging, say 1 year ago?

Her collection of Print & Pattern from all around the world blew me away...big time.

This is a MUST HAVE book especially if you are a graphic designer.

I was finding hard to describe what exactly inspired me

when a blogging friend wants me to write something

about me on her blog sometime this week.

The author of Print & Pattern - Marie Perkins and I shared

similar inspiration and she described this in her book this way..

"Mention to someone that you are a surface pattern designer and you will probably receive a blank look of confusion. Perhaps they will hear the word 'pattern' and think you design patterns for clothing, or that by 'surface' you are referring to the different types of finish used in building and decorating trades. Either way, they won't realize you are a graphic designer, illustrator, textile designer and more, all rolled into one. Pretty much anything you see in the marketplace that has a printed design on it will have been through the hands of a surface designer. The plates you eat from, the fabric of your tablecloth, the design on your rug, your curtains, wallpaper, cushions, handbags, wrapping paper, birthday card, and so much more, any product with a surface print or pattern on it is part of this often overlooked form of design."

Some sneak peek

another peek

One of my new work this week

No title at this stage.

Will soon list them on madeit when a title is given.

I have been spending heaps of quality time watching Peanut growing (sorry if I haven't write you back sooner). Gosh, don't they grow up quick?? 5 months she is now. I had to unwrap the christmas pressie dress set which I bought for her before she was born cuz she is getting longer. She is going to be taller than me. :) I came to realize whatever things does not matter. The most beautiful things is now. So lovely watching Peanut growing. So sweet! :)

Madeit's store frontview's banner ..lol

Thought I could have a little bit of fun ;)

Apart from Q time watching Peanut growing...

I have also spent a bit of time reflecting about the future for Missy Minzy.

love love love this print...it looks a lot better in real life :))

I have noticed that the only thing which I should,

maintaining my momentum is to keep creating and keep going.

That should be the ultimate goal for me.

I actually don't mind this print if it's in my original black and white sketching.

Just keep on doing what I love doing and enjoy the adventure ride while am on it. :)

There should be a few more new works on the way..stay tuned peep. xo
