Enhanced version of Marie Cat
Did this the same day I finish beading the mouse. This cat is a killer!!! Took me few hours just to complete beading the head!!! Nearly gave up, cause it's too tedious and complicated! But I still managed to finish this after alot of struggling. My friend think that the simpler version look nicer.. what do you think?
Mouse Couple
This was made before I injured my hand. Cute mouse couple, gave it to my brother and his girlfriend.

Beaded Adorable Cat or Marie Look-A-Like
This cat nearly killed my eyes and patience... It's DIFFICULT!!! But the sense of fulfillment was good after I see the end result. I was suppose to make a Marie Cat, but due to the unclear instruction picture, I had no choice but to find another alternative. This is a simpler version of the original Marie Cat, it is kinda cute too though. I manage to find a book in the NLB website which have the original Marie Cat instruction, already made a reservation to collect it when it's available. Hope there are no missing pages as the current book that my sister borrowed from Marine Parade library got missing pages =_= AND THE MARIE CAT BELONGS TO ONE OF THE MISSING PAGES!!!!
FOR GOODNESS SAKE, IF YOU WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE BOOK, PHOTOCOPY IT OR SCAN IT OR TAKE PHOTO FROM YOUR HANDPHONE OR CAMERA. BE CONSIDERATE AND NOT TO TEAR IT OUT FROM THE LIBRARY BOOKS!!!!
Was ultimately angry =_= so please pardon me for the caps..... Anyway, I gave this cat to one of my agents, luckily she like it too ^-^

Beaded Little Tiger or Tigger Look-A-Like?
Saw this little cutie hanging in the display cabinet of the handicraft shop and so I ask the shop owner to teach me how to do it~ lolx~ He took out a piece of paper and started to draw out the steps. I started working on it soon after I reach home. And to my surprise, the drawing stopped at the end of the body!! No instructions on legs & hands and the face!!! haha... tried to figure it out on my own for the legs.. but failed.. was too tired. So I brought along the beads to the shop and ask uncle to teach me on the spot.. haha.. After the legs and face, I managed to figure out the hands on my own.
I let my mum see, she say must add some whiskers then will look nicer. So, I added it~ true enough, it do look abit more cuter~ =D Will make one more to put on top of my monitor~ haha~ scare the dogs on my monitor away.. haha!!

Beaded Miniature Dogs Part 2
A gathering of dogs!! Haha, this is one of my customer's order - 15 miniature dogs. Got repeated design with different colors. There's Cocker Spaniel, Saint Bernerd, Poodle, Maltese, Bloodhound etc. Realize that unless I wanted the dog to be appeared as having dyed fur, I can only choose to use Brown, White, Black, or Orange as the body color, not much choice. Maybe next time I will try colorful ones.. lol.. all went salon for makeover! keke~ Love it! Especially Maltese, Cocker Spaniel & Poodle, ultimately cute~~~~

Beaded Miniature Dogs
Did this on Sunday night, I think it's ultimately small & cute!! Haha~!~! My sister actually borrow beadings books from library and let me browse through to see if there's nice design~ I immediately fell in love in these doggies!! My sister loves it too after I show her.. she even wanted to order from me. Keke~ Anyway, I made 4 doggies, and I sold the black one yesterday after I show it to one of my colleagues. I sold another one today. Great! *kiss the doggies* By the way, the triple As batteries are for comparison of size. Maybe I'll make one group of doggies and display it on top of my monitor.. haha~

So Called "Handicraft" I did over the weekend~
This is challenging... I'm totally clueless if there's no instruction to tell me which is the 1st to last piece. The instruction only show the individual pieces in sequence, not step by step instruction, so still have to roughly figure where the piece goes to. Interesting puzzle and very nice final product~ The key really can twist and turn to open the cover! Love it~! ^0^
Shiroi Koibito
Finally got my long waited Shiroi Koibito (白い恋人). Fell in love with it the first time I tasted it. Was very excited when I knew the Hokkaido Fair in Tampines will be selling it this year, but!!! It was all sold out early in the morning!!! ARRRGHHH, so I didn't manage to get any.. sad.. Luckily my friend's colleague went Japan, so managed to ask him/her to buy back for me. The packaging is nice one lor~ and the container as well. Not to say the cookie was super tasty~!! My whole family love it too!!! I'm not "fishmonger", I share it with people~~ So, I never regret buying it even though it was not cheap~ Haha~ Will still ask friend to help buy if they are going to Japan. Keke.

Earrings
After I learn some basic skills from the lesson I took, I went to buy clay, paintbrush & acrylic paint, so I can practice on my own. when I open the clay packaging yesterday, I got a shock as the clay was blue in colour instead of white which I use during my basic course. Well, I just had to use it since I've bought it... So, I begin to mould out the shape of the food I wanted, then let it air dry. Come to painting part - The colours are so off...doesn't really tally with the colour that I had in mind!! *faint* one more time... What to do? No choice, still have to use it... who tell me to buy it because it's cheap.... =_= However, even though all these happened, I'm still happy with the outcome. =D Will try to make more things on my own ^-^

Clay Lollipop
I made this straight away after I reach home from my clay learning course. This is made using jumping clay which is different from what I learn from the course which is using paper clay. I realize jumping clay is more difficult to handle and sticks to each other easily, so beginners, don't try! I think I better stick to paper clay too. =D
Learning how to make clay miniature
Always love clay miniatures, and therefore, after considering, I decided to take a 1 day basic course to learn how to make miniatures. It was very fun and I might go for it one more time but learn different things. And I've made friend with the teacher! =D
