Everything Cloisonne

It was like a mission to be accomplished when I first set my eyes on some cloisonne beads at a supplier's shop. I got myself a few selection of beads to start my experiments. Here are the outcomes...

• Chinese knots bracelet
• "Butterfly" bracelet

• Gold cloisonne ball bead earrings
• "Pipa" earrings
• Green cloisonne tube bead earrings

During the experiments, I have chinese knotting in mind. It was implemented into most of my designs using cloisonne beads.


*** Next : new bracelets coming soon....

          

Recycling Crafts

I always have the habit of keeping some old stuffs that I might use them as crafts later. Paper, cards, envelopes, old jewellery, ribbons & so on. Well, this recent Chinese New Year, I managed to use some of them (to clear some of my craft clutters).

"Using recycled stuff to create original new design craft  and to reduce clutters" 

"Butterfly with Love" 

       

                    "Red & Pink Blossoms" "Ceiling

Blossoms"

For the "Butterfly with Love", I used old Chinese New Year (CNY) envelopes (thicker ones).

Instructions (Butterfly) :

1) Cut 2 circles from the paper and crepe them up.

2) Tie them up at the middle with a string.

3) Insert a 3 inch thin wire at the centre of the crepe paper and bend 2 spirals at each end.

4) Glue a gold labucci at the top of the wire.

"Red Lantern"             "Tripple

                                     Happiness"

For the "Red Lantern", I used "Ang Pow" packets. This is my first lantern and there are some areas I need to improve. Second lantern is in my craft list somewhere before the next CNY. That time, I will insert my Chinese knotting in the craft.

As for the "Tripple Happiness", I managed to get an old brooch as the "tail".

HAPPY CRAFTING!!!

My Collections

September 2009... Out of an old friend's suggestion, I started experimenting other kind of knotting techniques than my own design knots. As time goes by, surprisingly, I ventured into wire wrapping (Ouch!!!...it was quite difficult in the beginning).

       Lovestruck Chocker

After a while, instead of designing individual items, i decided to try my hands on festive based items. 2009 Christmas Collection was my first collection leading to this year's Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day Collection. All photos are available in my Facebook site.

Early Inspiration

What happened when a simple idea and a right opportunity come together??? ..... a possible creative artwork??


My life has been evolving around arts and fashion whether expressed on paper, through computer or craft materials. I have explored in graphic designing, still-life and cartoon drawing and even experimented in fashion designing.


During my school holidays, learning new art and craft was my usual routine. That's was the beginning of my passion in making handmade jewelry and accessories.
