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

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<

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

joy for all the fun! :))

Hey everyone! Finally I have time to write again!^^ It's almost Christmas, I know.  And that's why it's time to spread the fun!  :D I have a few fun things to share here. First, I won a giveaway, yayyyyyyy XD

Carly J.Cais from chicsteals was  helding a DOUBLE giveaway, a satin tea dress like the one in the left, and haliwell top like in the right :D And I won the dress!! OMG just can't believe that right? I'm just over excited :p

Second, I finished my Christmas project creations >3< I had a project version (the owl), but I made myself a series of mini monster plushie! ^^ Plus, I also designed some accesories such as brooch, moonstone necklace, etc. Will add better pics soon ^^;

Will  be back soon to add the fun pics (product parade!), but I hope you like these! :) Merry Xmas everyone! <3

secretly famous-wish upon the "stars"

Have you ever know, that at this 5th Dec Indonesia just break the world record for flying more than 10.000 lanterns? I suppose it will be in the front page newspaper, or at least in the TV news. But eventually, it's not.

Recently my country has a lot of crime probs esp in corruptions, but I thought people should be aware of this news too. But they're not. I don't know why the media seems so distracted, but..I was wondering..isn't the reason of the corruption genocide (well it's not that easy to get rid anyway) is to encourage people to reach a better living? Then why such an achievement isn't being appreciated well? Kind a shame, isn't it?

Look, isn't it enchanting? Too bad I haven't heard earlier, my bf and me would love to join! :_(  I think this an essential symbol of hopes within Indonesian heritage.

Well then, in any case...I'll do some thing to make little changes of my self. Study better, be a better person, and...make better crafts :D eventually I am making some stuffs (mini plushies, brooch, necklace and more) to sale. As I received request to sell some, well finally to decide I will! :3 Only I haven't decide to open a shop just yet. I still have some pending projects (including bag and dress). Btw, I really love this dress, check it out:

This is a super lovely babydoll dress by my friend Carly J.Cais! Oh my, and she is making a tutorial too! This is a must try >3< You're awesome, Carly! <3 Ah and btw she's having a giveaway too!  Check it HERE :) I will post the pics of my creations around xmas, when those items arrived in Jakarta. That way I can get better pics ^^;

Cya later!

Lately I am having a super bad mood so I made a bad mood teddy plushie! her name is jeyo, named after my friend (JEssica YOnaka) hahaha XD

Made this for a trial, she is what I imagine when I am being grumpy and tired...Designed this in a rush, coz can't wait to start sewing it! :p my mum is a bit upset coz I cut her free gift towel to made this :3 Sorry mum! LOL..

plushie specs: eyes, ear and nose are from unused small pieces of fabrics. I just happen to found an easy but good method to make them hard enough and bead-looking (esp the nose and eyes) but still have soft areas to give space so I can sew it to the plushie :) So no worries, they're not glued!^^ (I don't like to use glues all over the fabric of my plushie).

alright then, cya at the next post!

PS. new art wire and plushie design in progress ;)

clandestine garden mission: done!

(I call this  "snow princess in the desert" )

finally I managed to finished this project! XD

Still remember the transparent organic leaf art tutorial I gave you? Well in this project the leaves already been colored and turned into a flower! <3

specs: coffee bottle (I use nescafe),  real dragonfly-dried, organic leaf art (flower), clay

bottom part: beach sand (white), selfmade blue snow - made of dried residu of coconut flakes.

well then, here's some clues on my next projects: lots of cat stuff..!  *w* and yeah...I'm gonna sell some, only not by online shop..I got sooo many suggestions to open a shop and maybe I should start with small selling projects :) And my skripsi (thesis) advisor liked my "summer's dusty diary" necklace and she ordered me a set of accesories. She said any design is fine, she only want red stones, and also she don't want me to sell the same design to another person. Well that's no problem to me since I always make one design for one item only. I don't like repeating, it makes me lost my passion and the product could be less artistic...

Well then, see ya later I guess...I'm off to manage the long list of projects..and um..my thesis ^^;

la petite paris: update#1

Heyho! It's been awhile since I haven't posted the update, still can't manage to get whole material so I guess I will just post the working progress and early design here! <3 I'm soooo sorry but I search in many place and all of them are still out of stock >.<

the blueprint a.k.a sketch design

As you see I am highliting the word PINK there...I will have to reveal that I am making a fairytale version of the eiffel miniature...which is FULL PINK! yayy X3 Only I have to admit that I have to rush with a few things now so I am only done with the rough basic pattern, so it's like 45% done >,<

Eiffel miniature - the basic frame

I know the pic isn't nice, but the moment when the miniature is done, I will surely post a better pic^^. And yeah, the miniature still looks ugly as well, but don't worry I still have a lot of decos and stuff to add, this is only the very basic frame. :)

Oh my, I guess I just need some refreshing you see, I am a bit stiff with the messy schedule here, so now I am going for some window shopping (^^)/ I am deeply in love with mineral stones, and even it's expensive I am collecting them! <3 Now I already have swarovsky necklace with a snowflake shape, pink crystal bangle (bought it in Ken Ting, Taiwan) and some others as well :3  Guess I'm just too crazy about it, so when my good friend lia from thediarytimes opened an online shop selling them I just can't resist >.<

It's a very enchanting birth stones in capsules, people says when you carry your birthtone it will bring luck to you! :3 I am born at march so my birthstone is aquamarine.. ^w^

Here is the capsules I am going to buy,  and the 2nd pic is the bottled version, it looks nice but I dunno where should I put that..besides, I am already in love with the watery capsule, and if you look closely the capsules have one whole piece of stone while the bottled one have  smaller stone pieces :D

Guess what I will have to wait quite long I think, since these stuffs are from japan and Lia had to manage to get more of those. She said it's been 2 months since the stocks last >.< It's always sold out, I hope I can get one T_T

Erm...so guess now I'll go to sneak some food, I'm starving @_@ I had more designs upcoming and one by one I will post the design plus the result here <3 cya later! XD

(my random drawing, draw this to express

my big lust for salmon onigiri, ROFLOL) XD~

la petite paris: future art project!

Hello all! I am planning to collect item for my france miniature project! This is a long term plan, that's why I name it project and not a quest [bad in naming, sorry ^^; ]  And I am picking more photos here, just in case I had the time to design and made those for this project...Ah..and if you're questioning why I started another artwork before I even finished my clandestine garden mission, it's because I am still in a quest of one material, besides this "la petite paris" will take more time than the "clandestine garden mission" because well..to be honest I have to collect items first, and I need damn a lot of them >.< But btw of course as it is Paris, I won't forget the eiffel miniature!  (^^)~

So..while collecting photos and editing I am starring at my boyfriend's pic, hihi..afterall Paris is a city of love, right? <3

dion@christmas holiday 08 >3<

As you know Paris is the city of mode, and there are a lot of fancy stuffs, ruffles and all awesomeness in fashion! >3< So here I posted one of my favorite stuff I bought in Taiwan,  not typical Parisian but I am sure in Paris you will find a lot of cute stuffs like this (even this one is typically Asian, like Taiwan/Japan/Korea.) So as it is just cute, I think I am adding something like this to the miniature! :D *wish I could really learn crochet someday, the best crochet I can do now is a flower, lol*

It is my fave cute crochet jewelery box! <3 so cute...Perhaps this is a good inspiration for my future la petite Paris! After I'm done with Paris I am going to make little Venice..oh I am so in love with Venice, I wanna ride love gondola with my bf someday.. ^^ Ah, and here's some game items (Pet Society) that may help me get inspired for the design (credits to Michael Simbolon, thx for the pic!)

So the plan is to make several art items related to Paris (still need a lot of reviews and ideas though). The first one to make is of course, the eiffel miniature!  The original design (the one in the pic) is by zakka handmade though, I am going to make something similar to it, only of course, with my modification and design. I already finished the rough design so in a minute I have to flee to the supremarket to buy some materials.. :3 The eiffel miniature is the smallest pic below, you can see how cute it is compared to the real eiffel :)

Next thing to do:  finish my sketch design so I can post it here!  But I think since I have to do my thesis too, I will post the whole design sketch in the post updates, not in this post, sorry! >.<

*just got back from store* ahhh and the materials I'm supposed to bought are out of stock, I only managed to bought the ice cream stick :(  I will have to wait till this weekend for the stock...I really wish there is a proper DIY store here x___O Erm, so I guess I will have to post the progress work around this weekend (I will work on the sketch and the eiffel miniature first.) :3

Ready To Fly

When I made this all I can imagine is leaving this country so I can be free from every stiff views they always lay an eye on me..And so at one fine day as I walk around my backyard I found a dead butterfly. Fragile wings, but still beautiful. So I dried it and decide it will be part of my artwork. So yeah, it's not just a butterfly, but a real dried butterfly. I think it's prettier than any artificial ones^^. Philosopicly you can see by putting the opened wings butterfly inside the bottle, heading to the sky, I was trying to say: "I'm ready to fly. Set me free!" As it is a cannon, the bottle functioned as the cannon's barrel. (the bottle was my friend's unused bottle from the juice she just drank off. I always collect junks potential for my artworks) ;D Btw other parts such as wheels and the square where I land the bottle is designed specially with clover shapes, as a symbol of luck :) Ah yes..if you pay attention to the inside decos (stuffs inside the bottle other than the dried butterfly) it is just natural white beach sands and sea shells. I was meaning to say that we need a wide heart and inspiration like the sea. The weather may be hot, the snow may fall, but the sea will always blows an inspirational breeze.. And so yeah, let's fly to the sky ^w^

summer's dusty diary

As it was still the hottest summer and the sunburns made all girls who don't like to be tan moaning all the time, well perhaps it's time to enjoy the  sun! After all, it's summer!! :3  Then what to do next? Let's try to build up the mood to go out more under the summer breeze :D But how? Hmm, let's start the going out-mood with making some selfmade artworks to show off! ^w^ And yeah,  I name it summer's dusty diary coz it's fall now and the pendon reminds me to something in an old treasure box gifted by grandma..but still good :D

Well actually I made one bcoz it's nearly my friends birthday and I need a present for her soon :p (I made this  in around 30 mins including designing, exactly the night before her bday LOL). Well then that actually really works.

Hmm.. frankly because in here I am kinda sort of materials (and that kinda often upsets me) so I just use some of my old stuffs.

What I use:

- some random beads with summerish type (nothing in particular, just the one with warm and bright colors) and I tried to match all the colors. And one bead is larger than any others, to be the center of attention part, of course :3

- two types of wires: First type is the usual wires u usually use for building house. You can easily find them in material building store. Size:  [2 mm for the outline, 1 mm for the inside part (sticking the beads to the edge) and the smallest 0,5 mm is for sticking larger wires together. The last type of wire is the one with bronze color, I am not sure what kind is that one, it's only a trash I found in my dad's old tool box] :D

-  Tools: plier set (Indonesian: tang satu set) but if you don't have a set it's ok, I usually only use the one for cutting, straightening wire, and the one with the small tip.^^ Btw don't be surprised if you may need random stuffs such as glass, pen, etc to help you get the round shape, for example <3

- Last but not least, the plain necklace/chain of course, you can easily find this in handycraft/DIY store :) this depends on your design, though..And for the round thing on the toppest part to put the chain, you don't have to buy that, you can easily make that with the 0,5 mm wire).

The steps are simple:  made the design-the outtest part-put it on the floor and place the beads randomly as you like-Ah, and this is one of the essential part: use the bronze wire to put borders inside the main round shape-of course the main purpose is decorating but you also have advantage because it makes the space between the main round frame smaller, so it's easier for you to stick the beads! :3

Next, put the beads with 1 mm wire as designed, and you're done! :D All you need to do left is to put some roundy shape on top of the mainframe to place the necklace/chain (don't forget to make your pendon to be enably put the roundy wire in order to put the necklace/chain or else you won't be able to wear it as necklace)-put the necklace in-and tadaa you're ready to show off your handmade summer necklace! >3<

Btw sorry if I didn't write them in detail, at first I just want to display the image LOL..and yeah, this design is best to fit in vintage dress/wardrobes with summer spirit, I think^^. Summer fever is still here I guess, even if it's September now :D cya at the other posts, more coming soon! :3

PS. As I got her pic wearing the necklace [thanks mel!] here it is! >3< Hope u like it^^
