DONE FOR THE YEAR 2015!

SALAM AND HI EVERYONE!

its November 2015. i am done with all the events that i have committed for this year. its time to close the books and prepare for my long holiday break.

i have also completed all my orders for year 2015.

orders will be open again to receive only in JANUARY 2016.

i am still active even though i am updating less here in my blog. reason being is because i am more active in other social media network like

INSTAGRAM (look for RIMAUMANJA), FACEBOOK (click on the side bar of this blog for the link). so please do follow my accounts there.

from time to time i will update this blog but it will be less frequent.

till then,

Handmade Gifts

SALAM AND HI EVERYONE!

I am happy to share with you a new direction i am heading.

As everyone knows, i LOVE LOVE LOVE to sew small crafty stuff and make things. I love to teach too (wire craft of course!).

I have long ago stopped taking designing work orders to concentrate teaching basic wire craft and to indulge on my other passion which is needlecraft.

I am slowly building a small handmade gift shop of sorts and from time to time will update new things i am stocking up at my WHIMSICALNQUIRKY HOUSE.

So if you are out of ideas and looking for something affordable, crafty, quirky and different, head on here and view for ideas 😃

THE THINGS THAT I DO! oh my....

Salam and Good Morning everyone!

SEE! this is what happens when you go out and "GET A LIFE!", your work just piles up! hahahaha...not just housework but "real" work like my online blogging and marketing of my WIRE JEWELRY pieces and Ebooks gets neglected!

Anyway, i just rembered that there is one more thing that i wanted to share. ACG Malaysia has another BIG event coming soon and i took on the task to make a dummy out of re-cycle materials.

Felicia Loh from THE ART MIND sent me a link on how to make a dummy and this is the result.

first i wrapped my daughter with paper tape all around.

when its dried, i cut it away from her

then we glue loo roll all over the paper dummy

and TA-DA!

this is the finished piece :)

My newfound hobby

Salam and Good morning everyone!

Today I want to share with you what i have been up to for the past weeks that made me neglected to post on my blog. You see, when we spend so much time on the laptop blogging and surfing and social networking, we always here the saying "GET A LIFE!"

What i enjoy most is working on my craft and blogging. That is my way of "GET A LIFE!". There is nothing wrong with spending so much time on the net especially if you are doing an online business but i decided to take on the advice and just do that "GET A LIFE!" and spend more time outside the borderless world and see what other things that can help entertain my already "blissful" life :)

First,

i discovered ROCK PAINTING.

How do you begin to start this hobby? let me share with you what i learned from my friends who teaches this at their craft learning centre.

#1 of course you will need rocks :)

you can collect them from your garden, or like me i purchased them from HOUZ DEPOT . One bag of these garden rocks cost me RM15. You can get them from other garden centres as what i did earlier but it costs double. Yup about RM30.

I will not recommend you use pebbles collected from rivers and such for you may bring back "spirits" attached to the rocks.....so ya...better not.

#2 you will need a pencil or water erasable pen.

#3 you will need MOD PODGE to seal your work and give it that glossy supershine look. i know MOD PODGE is expensive but its worth it! I bought mine for about RM53/bottle

#4 you will need nylon paintbrushes and acrylic paint and you are good to go!

HOW TO DO IT?

#1 with pencil draw a simple motif you want to paint

#2 use acrylic paint

#3 leave to dry and when dried, you can use permanent marker to outline your pic. I suggest faber castell permanent ink.

#4 seal your masterpiece with MOD PODGE for glossy shine and you are done!

SECOND,

i discovered DECO-CLAY.

How do you begin to start this hobby? let me share with you what i learned from YENJI

I have always wanted to learn clay art and this i decided to enrol myself at YENJI. There are so many types of classes you can do here and i started with BASIC CREATIVE DECO.

#1 you will need toy clay, glue and hand lotion.

#2 creativity!
