RelaxedLokLok Characters

Original characters from http://www.facebook.com/relaxedloklok Read the comics and fell in love with these 5 main characters. So I seek approval from the comic artist to convert them into cross stitch. Took me quite some time to draw them nicely to look like the original ones. And here they are, I'm quite satisfied with it though I think there's room for improvements. =D

8 Petals Flower

This one kinda challenging, and instruction was not that clear. I didn't manage to do it on the first try. But I did it on my 2nd try. I think I can do it better on he 3rd try~ =D will make one more soon~

Origami Pika PikaI

I think this Pika is quite cute and quite easy to make. If you know how to make an origami ball, you will have no problem folding this!

Mini Couple!

Really mini size.. but it's very cute!! However, it's not that easy to figure out how to make even though the instruction is in front of me.. reason being that the instruction is not very clear. =_= Wanted to give up a few times while making... Anyway, now I manage to figure out, I will make 1 more pair, and I think this time round it will be better =D

Melody Cushion

After I made the Pom Pom Purin Cushion, I found a few other designs of cushion! This is the Melody design, the original design is only 1-sided but I made it both sides. Lol..I think it looks better on both sides, just a bit troublesome when making it.

Angry Birds & Enemy Cross Stitch Chart

A few has asked me for the Angry Birds Cross Stitch Chart. I draw this but I'm not the one that design it. I took this picture with my handphone as my scanner was down, so it might be a bit unclear... The DMC colours used was based on what I think match the game colours, you may change it to something else that looks better. Hope it helps =D

DMC needed: 3801, 645, 742 & 310

DMC needed: 310, 3801, 742 & 519

DMC needed: 310, 743, 472, 3776 & 703

DMC needed: 310, 666 & 744

DMC needed: 310, 742 & 725

DMC needed: 310, 742, 3853 & 444

Pom Pom Purin Cushion Version 2

This time I use round beads and gosh.. it look so many times better than using bicone beads. I placed an iTouch behind so my friend can gauge how big the cushion is. Tried using 2mm beads to make.. but failed.. =_= Will find time to try again.

Painting By Numbers 15X20

Finally completed this after using 4 days (in 2 weeks time). Those small areas and thin outlines are killers but luckily acrylic paints dry easily and can be overwrite easily too. My elder sister say I have more patience whereas the kids does not. I guess I've trained my patience by doing beadings & cross-stitching.. I still have 1 25X25 & and 1 30X40 painting by numbers with me. I will be making my beading products first before I get back to painting. =D

Pom Pom Purin Cushion

This should look better by using round beads but due to shortage of colours, I have to use bicone beads. It's just a sample anyway, may need to do some changes to cater to my friend's needs. My personal opinion, I still think it look nice. =D Time to go Dragonwell shop to do some shopping.

Painting By Numbers 15X20 in size

2nd try on a bigger piece of painting. This design has more smaller areas to test your skill of tidiness and patience!! When the colour has been slowly filled up, you can feel a sense of happiness and achievement on it! Think I can complete it by Sunday, will update again.

Painting By Numbers 10X15 in size

Got to know this "Painting By Numbers" from a friend. The set consists of a canvas (with picture drawn on it, printed with numbers), containers of paint and a brush (or more depending on the size of the painting). All you have to do is to colour matching the number printed on the canvas and the number labelled on the container. This is my first try, I must say it's quite fun. And the outcome is nice. look professional too. =D

Net Oranges

Learnt how to make this small orange in about 3 or 4 mins. Didn't know that it's so simple! Haha! Complete making 1 packet of 10 in about an hour time. I tried making slightly bigger ones too, will take picture and post up soon =D

Time Consuming Xmas Present Part 2

This is more time consuming than Part 1. The big cardholder took me about a day to complete one, smaller one can be done like within 1 hour provided that the vinyl weave has already been cut into required sizes. Cross stitching presents are actually cheap but the workmanship can cost a lot as not all have the patience to complete it. Half of it shown here was for my siblings and their S.O. Hope they are happy with their presents too. And of course, the kids got 1 of their favorite angry bird each. Glad even the young ones appreciate my hard work.

Time Consuming Xmas Present Part 1

Started late on preparing Xmas gift this year due to renovation and I cannot find my materials!! But nevertheless, I still managed to complete these gifts for colleagues. I hope all are happy with the present though it's not any expensive stuffs. ^-^

Beaded Teddy Bear Instructions

Disclaimer: I'm not the author of whatever instructions that I will be posting here. I just want to share some great beading instructions to beading fans out there. A lot of people has been asking me for this bear instruction, so I think I should share.

Anpanman aka 面包超人

A Japanese cartoon character. Seriously, the time when I really get to know this character is when one of my friends ask me to make this for his daughter! Gosh... Think I'm old already. So I went to search around for Anpanman's picture online, and I made this. Glad that his daughter love it ^-^ When people receive my product with happiness, it makes me even more happier! I also search around in Youtube for the cartoon and I agree with my friend that the cartoon is cute.

Angry Birds Family & Enemy

Yes!!! Finally got a set of Angry Birds and of course their enemy! Haha! All the angry birds are of similar sizes as it will be given to my niece, nephews as gift. If they are of different sizes, I think the kids will quarrel, lol. It's about 4cm to 6cm big, not very small but good enough to hang on bag. Takes me about half a day to complete 1 piece, I'm not a fast stitch-er, so it's patience and passion that made me complete every single piece. ^-^

Angry Birds with my toy "DanDan"

That brown colour toy is a Danboard, I call it DanDan, it is my model too~ for my handicraft products. I manage to make 1 yellow angry bird~! After I finish the yellow one then I realize that the red Angry Bird is so much bigger when it came from the same cross stitch series. Gosh, I'm still not so powerful to draft out my own cross stitch chart, but still I think it's cute. =x

Angry Birds

This is the first Angry Birds I made. Nowadays kids are being brainwashed by angry birds, any kids with ipad or iphone in the family will know this bird. They can even tell you which colour of Angry Birds they like. So, I try to find the chart and make for them as part of their Christmas gift. Had to start early as I need to make 2 Yellow, 1 Red & 1 Black Angry Birds and 7 other handmade stuffs for family. Hope can finish on time with the fact that my house is renovating and everything is in a mess... =_=

Smurfs

Went to watch The Smurfs Movie and it really bring back alot of memories!! So I went online and search for the cross stitch chart and I made these! Papa Smurf, Smurfette & Clumsy Smurf! This is a 2 sided cross stitch, look like a mini cushion =D

Cardholder/Small Wallet Version 2

Different design as this name has more characters. Took me around 3 days to make this, need to cut the vinyl weave, create the design for cross stitching plus placing it all together. Not very difficult except the designing part. So, which design do you prefer? =D

Cardholder/Small Wallet Version 1

Design this using a Mont Blanc Cardholder as a sample. Slightly bigger in size.

Cross Stitch wallet 4

First time making a long wallet using vinyl weave. Bought the package from Gmarket, and started the project around 2nd week of July. Took me about 3 weeks to complete, not easy.. as about 3/4 of the wallet surface need to be stitched. However, the vinyl weave and thread are of good quality. Worse of all, I realize I forgot to sew the button to close it!!! ZZZZZ... only to realize this after I finished sewing all the pieces of vinyl weave together... sotong me! However, I'm still happy with the end product! =D Might be making another long wallet soon.. =D

Cross stitch wallet 3

Completed this last weekend, like this design, think the color combination from the DIY kit is nice too. Gave this to a friend. =D Now starting another project on making long wallet!!! Hope to finish soon =D

Pompompurin Look-A-Like

Didn't realize this little thing's name is Pompompurin till my friend told me.

Twisted Bracelet

Love this design and so I tried making one. The colour combination turns out so sweet!!! Oh Gosh! Cannot imagine it~ haha.. Like wearing candy around my wrist like that. Fits most average size wrist. Nice design I must say =D

Beaded Eeyore

This Eeyore is a killer~! Took me half of the day to complete it not counting the time when I did 1/4 and gave up cause it's complicated! I re-beaded a lot of times! I think the 2nd time will be better, also will use a lighter colour for the nose & stomach. Did a Tigger-lookalike, now Eeyore.. so must find a cute Winnie the Pooh. I did Piglet before, but I lost the photo, will find time to do again. =D Next time will take photo of the whole "family". Hee hee~

Clay Lesson on 23 of April

Went for my 2nd clay lesson after quite some time, and this time round I've learn to make fruits using Japanese clay. It's fun~! I bet I will go for a third time! Haha~ Above is my masterpiece of the 2nd lesson, can't really control the colour well yet as colour is added into the clay and not colouring it after it hardens. As teacher says the colour will get darker when it dries, I don't dare to add too much of the colour, so the colour is a bit off. But I believe I will get better! =D

MyPaper

YES!!! This is the second time my masterpiece was published in MyPaper. I uploaded my masterpiece on http://showtime.omy.sg/ under "MyPassion" column and the editor picked mine to be published! That's it~ it's free and I don't even know it was published until my friend told me about it. Will there be a third time? =D

Flower Pendant

This can be a pendant or earring. I did the grey one first as a birthday gift for my friend. Did the black one a week later for fun, then realize the black one actually look better because of the contrast. Should have made a black one for my friend too =( But already given to her.. cannot take back. Hope she like it =D

Heart Within a Heart

I start beading at around 9pm, finish at around 12am!! This design was suppose to be a brooch, but I modified it to be a necklace. The one I saw in the shop was made with crystal, ultimately nice & blink blink! However, it will be too ex if I were to make it in crystal, so this is acrylic beads, but I think it's just as nice. =D

The Year of Rabbit

This is an order of 10 Pineappls & 10 Rabbits for sale during the CNY festive season~ I love this arrangement~ I think it's cute~ haha~ Look like some nice dishes on a plate.. keke

When the Big & Small Rabbit meet. =D

Here Comes The Rabbit~~~ *Hop Hop*

I simply love this rabbit!!! Haha~~

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.

Beaded Cross Pendant

Made this pendant for one of my christian friends. I think this design is quite unique compared to the usual design which used same size of beads throughout. Glad that my friend like it. Should start to do something again... slack kinda long liaoz... haha...
