I started sewing this plush at least two months ago; apparently I'm really bad at sewing! The kit isn't bad at all, however the fur had longer hairs on it, so my mouse looks a little on the overgrown side, haha. The front cover of the pack contains the instructions for how to sew everything. …
Striped beaded choker pendant
I've had a lot of projects currently being run at the same time, but I've yet to finish any. This is why I haven't updated for a while. I'm really bad at finishing what I started, haha. In a trip to London a few months, I got a book from a Japanese book store called …
Wire jewellery with Linda Jones
*This post is quite picture-heavy* I have a book called "Making Beautiful Bead & Wire Jewelry" by Linda Jones, which provides step-by-step instructions on how to make about 30 different projects involving rings, necklaces and earrings. This author is quite accomplished and is worth looking up if you are a beginner-to-intermediate jewellery maker; I myself …
Kusudama – “Hanahitai Mitsuya”
Kusudama Hanahitai Mitsu from Tomoko Fuse's book.
Kusudama – “Mitsuya Kiriko”
I bought this book a year ago by Tomoko Fuse (布施 知子) called "Kusudama Origami - Hanakiriko" (くす玉おりがみ - 花切子). I can read what the Japanese says, but I don't know what it means! Fortunately, the book uses diagrams rather than explanations to construct models, hence why I bought it. Some of the models are pretty …
Rosebud and calyx kusudama
I'm part of a group on Facebook called "Origami Kids" (the group is open so anyone can view it) where people post their creations and/or tutorials on a regular basis. Quite a while ago, I came across a post about a rosebud and calyx tutorial (the tutorial creator and the person who designed the model can …
Malachite – “Natural earth”
Malachite absorbs negative energies and pollutants, picking them up from the atmosphere and from the body. Guards against radiation and clears electromagnetic pollution. Malachite clears and activates the chakras and attunes to spiritual guidance. It opens the heart to unconditional love. Encourages risk-taking and change, breaks unwanted ties and outworn patterns, and teaches how to …
Flower charm macramé bracelet
During my short stay in Cambridge, I shopped at a bead boutique shop called The Beaderie quite often, and recently I was pleased to find out that they now do home deliveries via their online shop. (They actually ship worldwide, and if you live in the UK, you get free shipping with £30+ orders, otherwise …
Animal Crossing bell bag
It's been a while! I'm almost done with my exams, just one more to go on Friday! I came across this tutorial on how to make a drawstring bag one day. It seemed relatively simple to do and would produce a rather nice-looking result. However, seeing as I don't own a sewing, I tried it …
