JAPANESE AFTERNOON TEA TIME

ENGLISH STYLE TEA TIME

INDONESIAN TEA HOUR

Well there you go, hope you had a nice weekend too, and get ready for the upcoming monday. See ya, be back soon :)

random fascinating stuffs

Look at this super cute panda plushes sofa. Not sure if I even have a heart to sit on it :9

And this cute coffee cup? Gosh this cup could ruin my skin and health for not being able to stop drinking coffee LMAO..Besides, the cat is too cute! xD

Coming up next, is the super stylish sofa! Gawd this is so creative..and indeed, creative at the same time. Amazing!  This thing could look like one enermous deco, and at the other time could turn to such a cozy sofa. Brilliant idea to save space ;)

Last but not least..the one that I would die to have one in my house..Although not sure how to feed the fish or how to clean the tank. But who really cares? This is just awesome! I always love  bringing the outdoor atmosphere into the room. Haha, and tell ya what, I treasure bath time soooo much xD  I normally spent like, more than one hour to take a shower.. But if I have this thing maybe I will go back to the bathroom every 5 minutes, hahaha..Anyhow that's my fave. Which one is yours? :D

sunflower ring with batik motive style!

I ordered this from a local silver crafter, and this is custom made ;) I give them reference pic I got from the internet and I modify the design here and there, and the crafter give a little bit more Indonesian style look: batik style-flower carved in the side of the ring. Wonderful! Especially when batik (officially admitted by UNESCO as Indonesian  original fabric craft)  is now very popular worldwide  <3

Ah btw, my newest product will be featured in Aperture Indonesia's photosoot! I am now writing the review of my product and will post the pics as soon as I receive the photos from them. Really love to have them as affies! Made it in a rush for the photoshoot, but trust me I used fine materials such as real mineral stones. Wanna see? Please stay tuned ;3

sneakery peekery :9

Folks I'm planning to close my shop temporarily due to a short break. The reason is plenty. First of all I need more time to prepare designs, no more making based on intuition only. I really want to do this more seriously, designing items, at least with a clear rough sketch, measuring and stuffs. As art is about passion, I need to find the chemistry to make the new stuffs, since I am not that satisfied with my previous products. I am an otodidak crafter, I love to learn by myself and observing other crafters, but indeed, I still have way so much to learn. I believe a great art requires not just a proper ability, but the right chemistry and passion, also the right materials. And that's a lot of stuffs to work with, haha.

Next, I am announcing two things. First,  as I said I am going to release new stuffs, and here's one sneak peek of one of them. This petite teacup phone strap is not done yet, though. Still need to add vintage style chain and swarovsky (as seen on pic).

Other stuffs I'm gonna work with is jajan pasar plushes (Indonesian traditional snacks). Some designs will be contributed by my product designer fella, Mr.Bullyzuar Adam a.k.a Inno. Thankyou very much! ;D

Second, I am going to close my shop temporarily around 1-8th April. Yes, I need a break. I am fully loaded with school and projects, including projects outside this shop. It keeps flowing and if I can't improve in time managing, I'll surely be drowned >.< I have to admit I'm pathetic in time management. Hmm anyone got any idea to do better in this?

Meanwhile, I am going to relax my mind with this pics. This river is insanely enchanting, the Caristales river in Columbia. Got this pics forwaded from my mum...Can you believe this river got 5 different color glaze in it's water? Gotta flee there someday! Alas, yeah now is relaxing time *sipping apple tea :9

cookie of the day

Yeah as tea time  isn't complete without nibbling cookies, a new little business like mine won't be complete without good affiliations! <3 Will come up with great affies. still a secret but will tell you soon ;)

Ah and I did mention about a cookie, eh? Yeah I know this pic is not eligible to be posted (yeah my poor cam phone, I don't blame you baby) but say, this is just a sneak peek haha..anyway the cookie is just for accompanying the tea cup plush. sounds nice. tea cup and cookie, haha :D

Ok and I'm coming up with err..stuffs that actually I'm suppose to prepare earlier, like product tag but now I'm still ordering the design. geez I'm a dork ^^;  And I'm also coming up with new plush designs, and also some other stuffs I'm going to tell later ;)

Btw speaking of sneak peek, I gotta DIY dress project, madeout from a tee (from my boyfriend) and a tanktop (bought it cheap hehe). Yeah, another inappropriate pic and halfdone stuff. But I'm still happy to show you this:

Weekend is so nearby, have a great time! >3<

vintage memory holder

Made this in a rush for an order. Really tried to do my best in a short time since I must ship this to Pekanbaru >.< actually want to add some details with small crystals but really have no time for that. Someone whose supposed to receive this is leaving abroad soon, so gotta send this asap.

Putting the glass on the frame and made it stood still is the worst part for me. Decorating is my fave but have to skip that :( Still looks quite ok to me though..What do you think? ^^;

tea time ;)

Have you realize that everything is about tea time now? I found some dresses which is IN  now,  are  flowery vintage dresses (I just bought one today <3 )  that really looks for having tea time (at least to me). And guess what's the hottest movie in town now? Alice in Wonderland.  The hot guy Johnny Depp plays as the mad hatter. And what does the mad hatter usually do? Yes dear, drink tea :3

See the accesories in nearest stores? to me some themes are not so far from afternoon tea time. rose rings, fancy hairbands, laces, big bows, and many more. Well I can say perhaps it's not the mainstream right now but I still prefer this kinda style. Hmm I'm not that update but see...

I think it's nice to keep this tea time atmosphere coz it's relaxing. And that's why I'm making these teacups plushes! ;)

This set (1st pic with 3 cups)  is actually not done yet, will add pics when I finished the other two. This set is made for a good friend of mine, a kind hearted lady :) Will sure finish the set soon for you, my dear ;D

And I finally decided I will open an um..semi-shop I think. I am now open for orders :D anyone interested could directly mail me: halfdevil_alhemist@yahoo.com

and tell me what item are you interested in :) All items I posted before are still available to remake.  custom made items are also welcome. for custom made items, price comes by nego ;)

Btw if you're interested in the teacup plush, the price is Rp.30.000/cups. Any expressions you desire are welcome, here is the expression chart to help:

But sorry dear, due to shipping probs temporarily this is for Indonesian citizen only :( Just IF someday there are some customers worldwide I will try to find out the best way to ship across country.

And ah, I already finished the two velvet headbands for my other friend's order. She said she will wear them @ her birthday. But she already tried one of them. This is the gold chain-black velvet one:

Ok folks, see ya next time ;) Ah, and pssst, will come up with new banner soon >3<

love & craft story

My bf is back to his hometown now, but we managed to take some pics. We had some candle light dinners and in one moment I am wearing the satin tea dress I won from a giveaway <3 And guess what, I won another giveaway too! I won the awesome vintage dress from Taryn, you can check her out in her blog, style-phenomenon. The dress will be sent to me this weekend^^.

Btw, these are the pics of me n my bf dion. Both pics are taken when we are having italian cuisine :p And after several dinners we decide at the last day I will cook for him, and gladly he really liked it!! :D this is a recipee...emm you can say I found my own way to cook since I rarely read recipees from books or internet...I cooked creamy cheese spaghetti, really an easy peasy one. and all people who ate it liked it! next time, I'll try chinese style spaghetti :) Hmm and I wish he would cook another dish for me. Last time he served a salmon dish for me! X3  *drool

Alrigthy, now move to the crafts...I have several craft request..I made another custom made plush, this silly-fatty cow plush for my friend in jakarta :)

At first I wasn't sure I could made an appropiate cow because I don't have a pattern and I never made a cow plush before ^^;  but yeah..I made it XD

I still have a few orders to fulfil, and will post them too later on...psst, this order is kinda special! two custom made headbands: gold chain and peacock feather. never made this before, but I'll do my best. wish me luck ok!^^

Almost Valentine <3

My boyfriend is visiting me again in 2 days!  >3< We'll celebrate valentine together, he plan to cook me a special salmon dish!  Yumm..boy he always said that I'm a salmon freak :p And pssst, I already bought him something special! Will post the pic later when he opened it^^.

He will depart by train tomorrow, not by plane as usual,  since  the air ticket is very expensive, the price is 3x from the usual @_@ I am cleaning the house myself, since I have no housemaid atm, it's hard to find one.  My mom sent my last housemaid to my auntie's house to take care of my grandma, because my other auntie who used to take care of grams passed away.

I ordered an amigurumi bear btw, it will arrive  within 2 days I think. Yeah I ordered when I am lazy to make one. Besides I'm not that good at crochet too, remember? :p *lazy girl's alibi.

But ah, I happen to manage time to make a blue bat doll. Yeah I planned to make a purple one but these blue materials are the leftover from the husky pillow I made for my bf last xmas.

Last but not least, I have to  tell ya that I bought some e-books (nah, actually it's from my bf, hihi). And I think I'm gonna have  more cute  plush patterns!  I am lazy to make one pattern myself now, but I am still running some craft projects. Yeah as u know I am greedy, I have some paperwork projects as well. It's just not good to waste your talent, right? Well this is very contradictive if you know what I've just done.

Pssst, I tell ya one secret: I just reject another singing offer. I got a phone call offering me to get involved in a recording. But I'm still thinking the same, music isn't really my world. At least not for now. Besides, I don't think I can sing that well.

Some says I'm stupid for not trying.  But I will try. Only not this time.

blessed days, blast art

I'm in Jakarta for a holiday, but before I depart I managed a few mins to made this vintage necklace. Made this from my mom's leftover material I found in her warehouse. I really like the flowery motive on the fabric :)

I tried to wear this and it looks fab! XD Really love this vintage style. I found this kinda expensive in malls or big store, so I am happy I can make it myself and don't have to buy them LOL..The beads I use are only leftofers too, even the chain is leftover! So I'm just glad I found the use of this leftover stuffs in my boxes . My bf also loves this one^^

product parade!! trademarks decided

After quite a pause...here are my new works! XD

Those are the products I made in December, some are already sold! :) The blue husky is my xmas gift I made for my bf that I said earlier before, it matches my black kitty pillow <3 You can also see my self designed - set of mini monster plushes, and also a set of version owl I made from a tutorial.

But one of the special item is the mini black cat plush with a red ribbon. It is made of soft black velvet, and I made that for my friend's order, so I will only sell 1 item I think^^. I am making more owls as the respond is good, but I am only planning to sell that 1 set of monster set to make it limited. And that way I also have more time to start new plushes designs! Later on I will buy a dark purple towel to make  a bat plushie :3

Last but not least, I already decide my trademark for plushes:

- soft towels are my pick for the main material <3

- embroidering will be mostly done by silk threads

- face such as eyes, nose etc will be made mostly by fabric, hand sewed to the plush and not glued.

that's all for now, will figure out what next :D
