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? ^^;
Hey there! After a few days, I made this art, the idea is in a sudden but I hope you'll like it :) Those who played the famous online game Ragnarok must know this very cute character, angeling *w* it's also a game item in a game so called Pet Society (PS), buta in PS it's a doll, named pink jello.. :D
The deco inside is made from clay, full handmade, not made by special tools coz I don't have one OTL :p But yeah, managed to make one and put it in a cage so it won't run away! >3< I tried to make more details on the wings btw..And oh, this thing have two functions:
1. You can put off the chain easily and put the cage on your table or cupboard as a deco
2. You can also put on the chain and wears it as a necklace, yay! XD
My friends suggested that I should open an online shop..but uhm, still thinking of it >.<

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~
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
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
| 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^ |
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^^
