Old Memory

2011-01-23T20:48:00.002+08:00

新年前打扫除都多翻出很多东西来，有时候一不小心就坠入回忆里了。翻出这些信，收藏了多年却不愿意丢掉。以前网络手机还不流行时，大家都靠书信来往，互相联系着彼此难得建立起来的友谊。这些都是老朋友，还有几位以前在新加坡打假期工时认识的朋友所寄来的信。不过很可惜的，有些朋友也已经失联了。

这些信我已经看了不知多少遍，可是总是每看一次就笑一次。尤其以前年轻时思想比较单纯时写的东西是完全赤裸裸没有掩饰，实在是难能可贵。

有位老朋友去了日本工作，间中曾经想要恢复以往般的书信来往，可是他寄来了信而我却久久没有回信，实在惭愧:p 现在连地址都弄丢了。。。喂，你知道我在说你的，快email 我你的地址。

现在朋友每天在FB和MSN里见到，可是毕竟没有比收到亲手写的信温暖。也因为很久没有写字了，字体越来越丑，很多字也不会写了，更夸张的是有时写下写下竟然是写拼音出来 >.< 果然是时代科技的进步，确实人类自然本能的退步。。。

Bridal Necklace

2010-10-10T17:51:00.002+08:00

It's hard for me to restart my engine to do handmade after a super long break. My head has jam, and my hand is slow while doing this.

Levain @ 10/10/10

2010-10-10T16:49:00.008+08:00

第一次到Levain，当初看到email介绍这间餐厅是真的不相信KL有这种地方，旧英殖民式的建筑物在KL已经很难找了，而且还是在这么贵的地段。我有一直在幻想以前住在这里的主人一定非富则贵，当时的摆设是何等。。。

星期日的八点到这里，外面还是空空的，现在不拍照更待何时阿。。。

我的早餐和咖啡，早餐只提供到11点。

Chicken Curry Ban...好好吃哦。。。

我很喜欢这扇窗。。。

十点多的时候，人多到。。。。

如果要去的话，还是早一点比较好，不然就很难泊车，有很难找位子哦。。。

Cleaning in Progress

2010-06-27T22:04:00.003+08:00

朋友问我为什么收拾桌子要这么久，那是因为收拾桌子的同时要整理材料啊。

有些半成品，或不想要了，要拆掉的这个那个，真的不是开玩笑的。

上星期从家里拿来的鸡精罐，超好用的。等着被归类的都丢进去。
这一堆就要归类和放回它们应该属于的盒子。

我还蛮喜欢分类这些珠珠的，可以一边辨认颜色一边默念名字。

弄了两天，累死了。

Hand Glove? Arm Glove?

2010-03-27T01:04:00.003+08:00

Should i call it hand glove? or arm glove?

I still remember my mom got something similar when i'm still a little girl. She'll wear it whenever she is out of the house, in order to protect her arm/hand from the sun light.

I've made myself a pair for the same purpose, but i'll only wear it when i'm driving.

Red Plaid fabric with some white cotton lace added, does it kawaii enought? emm.... it's too kawaii to me ^.^

A simple earring after long holiday

2010-02-27T18:34:00.002+08:00

我承认啦，我天生的懒惰性格搞到部落格生蜘蛛网（美微我知错啦~~~），所以意思意思放上一对耳环顶一下。用我的新玩具拍的。

1st bracelet for myself in 2010

2010-02-02T22:18:00.002+08:00

我很爱制作首饰，可是却不太常佩戴收拾，是因为我每天出门都很匆忙，忘了。

这是我今天做给自己的第一个手链。

用了不同颜色的Shell Pearl. 在买这些珠珠的时候还特地问清楚是什么质地，店家就说：是贝壳，shell. 可是我怎么想也想不通shell pearl? 里面也是shell吗？有没有人知道可以告诉我？我有一度想把珠珠敲碎看看是什么来头也。
买了这个比较大个的toggle, 是蜻蜓造型的哦。

用wire把珠珠绑一绑。。。还蛮适合我吧！！

Matching Earring

2010-01-30T08:57:00.004+08:00

I've requested to remake this bridal necklace + a matching earring.

Using the same technique, by added some top drill swarovski crystal, the earring has born.

ST, hope u'll like it~~

張三丰的智慧

2010-01-26T21:59:00.005+08:00

I've inspired by Corra's article...

童年時看梁朝偉在《倚天屠龍記》演出張無忌一角，其中最記得的，就是張三丰一面在教，一面又要人完全忘記的那幕。
我再也沒有比現在更能明白箇中道理的時候了。
用金絲銀綫創作，日子久了，於是對材料的習性了如指掌，這本來該是件好事，我一直覺得，只要熟悉了材料的能為與不能為，便能在創作時得心應手。我一直這樣相信，直到最近此等説法終于被我自己推翻。
與一位不諳首飾創造的朋友共同商討打造一枚首飾，竟讓我有了意外啓發：因爲我對金絲銀綫非常熟悉，加上“人”無可避免的惰性，潛意識總是讓我自然而然地從錯綜複雜的設計繞道而過，因而限制了創作能力。第一張圖，是本來的設計；第二張，是經過商議以後幾番屢戰屢敗屢敗屢戰后做出的成品。

原來只有盡量忘記所知所學、放空自己，才能像已然干透的海棉吸取水分。
與你，共勉之。

Joan ：

我们都知道已经满了的杯子，如果再倒水进去，水只会溢出。然而只要把杯子里的水倒掉，它便能注入新鲜的水。

放空，说起来容易，但真正又有多少个人做得到呢？当沉静在这功力现实社会越久，当略有成绩时，越是难放空。

前阵子看了部戏，里面有一句:‘be dead, and to rise from the dead. 死亡然后重生’，非常赞成。我欲死亡而后重生，死的是我的心和思想，而后重生新的观念与态度。

后记：

Corra 的 de Cor's Handmades 有非常非常漂亮的手做哦~~~

Handmade Carve Stamp

2010-01-25T23:16:00.006+08:00

well... this is not made by me, i think i can't make it for my life time.

Gianni is good in hand carve stamp, she can carve very detail line, pattern and words.

See the lace stamp she hand carved for meiweihuang handmade, i can't imagine how much time she took to made it... but i bet mei wei will love it.

Loves in the air

2010-01-24T20:11:00.002+08:00

我就是喜欢这种横洞的swarovski心型珠珠。

Custome Made Anklet

2010-01-24T19:58:00.003+08:00

A friend requested a purple anklet for her niece, hope she'll like it.

我的第一个手做口金包

2010-01-23T18:15:00.002+08:00

将将将将。。。。隆重登场，我的第一个手做口金包~~~~

我烫了铺面。。可是还不是很挺也。。。身体部分还好，可是缩缝得不太好，没有膨膨的感觉。

里布用了美微给的podka dot....布身很好又是我喜欢的褐色。。 ^.^
侧边。

emmm......比我想象的难缝，尤其是口金部分，应该要多练习才会比较顺。

这是跟着《是口金包耶!》里的pattern做的，是最基本的。

phew...弄了整天，还好赶得及下雨前拍照。

How to organize your lace

2010-01-19T22:34:00.004+08:00

Materials :

recycle paper box

wrapping paper

cutter

cost: less than 50 cents

1. find any paper box.... recycle the unwanted

2. cut into the size that suit your storage box.

3. paste the wrapping, a lovely card board to organize your lace, everything in place neatly.

Colored Cut Felt

2010-01-17T10:57:00.004+08:00

Do you have this situation: just needed smaller piece of felt cloth to finish a smal project, a card and little decoration? This colored cut felt allow you have smaller pieces but more variety of felt at the same time.

grab it here

需要更小块的不织布？看看这里吧。。。布身比较硬，不容易起毛。6色系可选择，数量有限。

from L to R: Red/Pink; Yellow / Orange; Blue; Green ; Purple/Black/White; Brown

closed up to see it's quality. It's harder than normally sold in the market, and it is more durable.

As simple as...

2010-01-11T23:28:00.002+08:00

简简单单的。

我很少买这种 pandora beads, 是因为一般上都用一种特殊的链子把它穿起来成为项链。

那天，神推鬼莫下买了3个不同款式。想了很久到底要做什么。。。终于。。简单的项链就诞生了。

Material - Antique Brass Chain

2010-01-10T11:54:00.003+08:00

i know lot of you are looking for antique brass findings and chian, i'll try to bring in more, but at the moment only chain, see here

Wired Bracelet

2010-01-08T23:13:00.003+08:00

This is my first try on brass color Artistic Wire. It's hard for me to match brass color element with my lovely beads as i was used to silver color at most of the time.

Actually, brass color artistic wire was not so 'brass', but it's more to gold color, so i've decided to match smoky quart with it....

Necklaces

2010-01-07T23:25:00.002+08:00

I've tied Japanese seed bead on..... just simple design.

Card Holder

2010-01-04T23:28:00.003+08:00

新的一年，换了一本新的记事本，想说帮它做个套套，让他更有个性。。。hoyoyi 给了个tutorial我，想想不如先做个卡套试试看做不做的成。。。。免得浪费了美美的布然后书套又做不成。。

还好我的领悟力还不算太差，一次就成功了，只是。。。size 好像太小了。。。看来做书套时要量好好来。。。

1st Creation of 2010

2010-01-02T12:44:00.004+08:00

The very first creation of year 2010, the bridal necklace for my colleague. It took me 2 nights to finished and i'm quit satified with the result...^.^

well..... it has used up most of my pearl in stock.... it's time to restock -.-'

Teh Gu Lai Leow

2009-12-30T20:36:00.005+08:00

前一阵子回Johor老家，刚好碰到 Tako & Ireen 去新加坡摆档，就参着去玩玩。

当天早早叫哥哥载我去Tako的家，寒暄38两句，就由她爸爸载我们去巴士站等Ireen去吃早餐。

华美，一间老老的店，上楼是还可以听到楼梯作响。。。
吃了这碗肉脞面。

吃饱了就慢条斯理的搭巴士去新加坡啦。。巴士直达bugis, 走几条街就到了要摆档的Haji Lane. 是很热一下咯。。。这条街两旁都是一些有特色的店哦。。其中我们的摊子对面的那间男装店，即便是没有开门，还是很多人停住观看哦。。。

这就是我们的摊位啦。。。刚好摆在太阳西斜晒得到的地方。当天的天气是阵雨连连，没下雨时就晒死你 -.-' 然后Ireen 好像妈妈晒衣酱一直把她那摆在外面的行李箱搬进搬出。。哈哈！！

我的部分，还带了美微的bear bear 过去。

Tako的部分

我很喜欢这张照片，可是相机的设定搞错了，蒙蒙的

超级大头。。。aiyo...瘦猪太高了，拍不到头啊。。。大头曰:瘦猪,你脚摆哪啊。。。瘦猪曰：大头，我身不由己。。。

Ireen 的部分

Ireen 的兔子被人认领了。。。一脸舍不得主人的委屈样子。。。

又一只被认领了。。。这只比较洒脱

某人的手，2010崇春夏最新指甲彩妆？那指甲还要一直来tuk我还有tuk瘦猪。。。不用时可以收起来。。哈！

市集完了，Tako & Ireen 回JB, 而我去了哥哥家过夜，顺便预些时间shopping... ^.^

姐姐刚好也在那里，这是我可爱的外甥。

第二天跟姐姐一起搭火车回家，在火车站拍的一些照片。。。这火车站可是古色古香哦。。。

这闸门可是十几年不变也，打从我对这里有记忆以来就是这样了。

后记：

这次的人潮没有很多，我的生意也不是很好。。。可是我把每一次的经历都当作是一个人生的体验。。。所以也没有太在意。。。回家后爸爸也这样安慰我。。。就当作是去走走玩玩然后去shopping吧。。。。东西没有卖到多少，反而是买回来的比较多。。。我真败家阿。。。

Good things from Daiso

2009-12-27T20:51:00.002+08:00

去了新加坡一趟，没有买很多，可是在Daiso买到了这个，可以割纸和布的Rotary Cutter，还有割虚线的替换刀片。我在Spotlight也有看到，可是价钱真的是差个十万八千里，这个只要新币两元一把。

还有这个针织的小花片，3 个一包。自己不会织就买吧。。。

Christmas Tree

2009-12-23T22:33:00.003+08:00

This is the swap gift for Steve. well..... he is the only guy in the swap, accessory was just not suitable for him. Finally i've decided to make this to him: A christmas which full of ornament and a star on top with the name 'beading.com'.

Big Heart

2009-11-29T21:46:00.003+08:00

真的不知道那来的劲，竟然缝了这个带去Pipit摆美, 眼睛都要花了。

看近一点，就是一片亮片加一粒米珠的缝。因为米珠的洞很小，普通的针串不太过，只好动用到串珠针。串珠针又细又长，被刺到可不是好玩的哦。。。我已经被刺到N次了。。。痛死啦！！！

好不容易完成啦。。。还有两个小love做成别针，我和Agnes 一人一个在Pipit 时戴。

做成爱心小枕头出现在Pipit 现场啦~~~ 背景是我跟Agnes的摊子。

More Bracelets

2009-11-29T21:18:00.005+08:00

还是一样在pipit market之前做的。

粉粉的。。。

S 扣

用jump ring 串成的链链。

很像扣的扣。。。

白色的。

Another wired bracelet

2009-11-27T20:22:00.003+08:00

这个是pipit market 之前做的，自己很喜欢这样的组合，有一点小复杂却又不失落利大方。

用 jump ring 组成的一小段链条。
第一次用S扣头。

杂记

2009-10-10T09:04:00.003+08:00

我知道我很久没有更新部落格了。懒惰是肯定的，再加上工作忙碌，回到家时已经懒得去搬东西出来做手做，反而是上网上的很凶。市集近在眼前，老实说，我不知道应该做些什么。不知道要做些什么不是说做不出来，而是做不出一种代表着我的风格的作品，做不出那种别人一看就知道是我的作品。

To: Someone who love my handmade

2009-09-21T11:38:00.004+08:00

无聊之作。

做给自己的小小包，用途是每次去邮政局寄包裹时用。

上面的字是一个字母一个字母的chop上去的。

希望收信着都喜欢我的手做。

Something like Neck Tie

2009-09-20T13:59:00.003+08:00

Accidentally made the shape accidentally realize it's look like tie.

某人的生日礼物

2009-09-18T20:38:00.003+08:00

某人生日，不记得是我offer她，还是她跟我要，说要个小袋袋装他的lomo camera。

emm...好吧，反正针车也拿到了，该好好利用一下，就开工吧~~

我猜某人很喜欢红色，因为在他的照片里常常看到红色的元素。红花布配上线条布再搭黑色花边。。。里布是简单的podka dot棉布。扭扣洞花了我不少时间，是一边看instruction manual, 一边尝试的。

某人希望你会喜欢 ~~ 还有生日快乐！

Agnes, 我不是在说你啊^.^

书展小报告

2009-08-23T12:11:00.002+08:00

昨天去了书展，没有买很多，可是跟Jeslyn在手做书那里溜达了很久，还跟其他看手做书的读者乱哈啦的。。。

以往书展，一般手做爱好者会在城邦逗留最久，可是这次你们要失望了。城邦的booth超小，然后手做书是少的可怜。可是这次有一些书有特价，象《我爱布杂货2》只卖RM 12, 《我爱布杂货4》卖RM 16, 最后一本被早到的Jeslyn扫走，要25号才有新货。

另外，令人惊喜的是台湾馆那里有蛮多手做书，从针织娃娃，不织布，串珠，铝线杂货到粘土都有，还是特价呢！！！有兴趣的朋友去看看吧！

备注：入场前有人测量体温，还有提供消毒液和口罩。

Date: 22 Aug 2009 - 31 Aug 2009
Time: 10am - 10pm
Venue: Convention Centre KLCC, Halls 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5

Earring Hook Tutorial

2009-08-04T23:29:00.004+08:00

This is a simple tutorial on my way make a earring hook by wire.

Material:

Artistic Wire 20 Ga

Tools needed:

Round nose

Chain Nose

Cutter

Nylon Jaws Pliers

Pen

Optional tools:

Wire Rounder

Chase Hammer

Metal Block

1. Straighten the wire by Nylon Jaws Pliers 2. Make a loop by round nose
3. left approx. 5cm to make the hook (the length depand on the size of your hook)

4. We need 2 to form a pair of hook

5. Put 2 wires together and form hook by a pen (or any round shape object).

(Note: i'll always make 2 together, in order to have same size, same shape's pair)

6. Round the wire like this

7. Slightly bend the wire at suitable spot

8. Cut the excess wire... tata... earring hook done

Optional steps:

to prevent your pretty face and skin being scracth by the wire (my main purpose), you may use wire rounder to de-bur the sharp end of wire.

flatten the wire by chase hammer and mental block to add some little pattern.

now we have a pretty earring hook~~~

Clip on Earring II

2009-08-02T18:41:00.003+08:00

上篇讲到我要test Clip on Earring 的耐度，看会不会掉，以下是结果：-

佩戴时间：01/08 (11.30am) to 02/08 (6.30pm)

地点：家里+外面吃东西

结论：

1. 掉了3次，两次是用毛巾擦脸后拉到，一次在外面放下bag时弄到。

2. 午觉，晚上睡觉到早上都没有掉.

3. 我的皮肤会敏感的，平时只能带金或银的耳环，戴这个没有敏感。

基本上就算是耳勾被拉到时都会掉，所以它的效果还算是可以接受啦。。

I've tested on the clip on earring that made yesterday morning and is the result:-

Wearing date and time: 01/08 (11.30am) to 02/08 (6.30am)

Vanue: home and restaurant for dinner

Conclusion:

1. the earring has drop 3 times, 2 times drop while i wide my face with towel where another 1 while i'm putting down my bag in restaurant.

2. i've been wore it for a nap and sleep overnight, it remain on my ear.

3. No sentitive problem as normally i was sentitive to the material other than real gold or silver.

It's result was acceptable and satisfactory ^.^

Clip On Earring

2009-08-01T11:34:00.004+08:00

I've got this pattern and technique from a book. A clip on earring made by cooper wire, which is suitable to those who have no earring hole or with sensitive skin.

这个款式和技巧是从书上学来的。用铜线拗成的夹式耳环，非常适合没有耳洞或容易敏感的人。Side view. techniques to make these 2 pairs of earring is quite different due to the shape of beads, which the back of pearls are round, whereas the back of rose beads are flat.

从侧面来看，其实制作这两对耳环的技巧会有点不同，原因就在珠珠的背后也是圆形的，而玫瑰花的背后是平的。这些技巧可是在浪费了不少线材之后才领悟到的。

I'll wearing this earring for whole day long to test for its durability, stay tuned for the result.

佩戴夹式耳环其实很怕会掉，所以今天我会一整天戴着，以测试它的耐度, 敬请期待下回分解。

Crystalize

2009-07-21T23:20:00.003+08:00

I've addicted to wire......made a pendant for myself, of cause with my favourite beads, Swarocski Crystal AB.

I was initially plan to make it into rectangle shape. But, 0.8mm wire seems like not strong enough to hold it's shape....finally it becomes a pendant with 'waist'... lol...

Handcraft Swap

2009-07-16T22:35:00.002+08:00

前阵子参加了Agnes 举办的Handcraft Swap, 就是参加者个别有自己的swap partner, 准备好两份手做品，然后在特定的期限内寄给对方。

我抽到的是Erika寄给我，我寄给Gianni.

Erika 寄来的东西收到了，星期六会拍照放上来，谢谢你Erika ^.^ !!

来看看我寄给Gianni的东西，一个手做零钱包，一条项链+配对耳环。做首饰我OK, 可是那零钱包不是我的强项，所以花了不少时间。

链坠是延伸之前耳环的点子，做成泪滴形。
虽然蒙蒙的，可是很喜欢这张照片的感觉。

Gianni, 希望你会喜欢。
