Music and Mimi

Finally got the time to share photos of my polymer clay MTOs! It has been quite a while since I last posted. One of my friends talked me into making this pendant for her. One of my first tries at polymer clay. And here's another one. That's a little guitar, alright. I had a hard time shaping those little note charms. Where there's will, there's...

Summer Babies

I haven't been doing a lot of things lately.  Been busy bonding with friends and family. But here are a few polyclay chibis I made last summer.  These beach babies all sold out. =) With flowers in their wind-blown hair and colorful surfboards, they are ready to hit the beach...

baby, baby!

I have been really busy lately. Work tied me up in front of my PC for longer hours a day, and yet I couldn't find one sec to update this blog. I'm glad I still have a few finished projects I haven't shared with you before. These are for the little babes. Little ballerina shoes for baby. I forgot to draw a diagram for this one. This headband is...

Love! love! love!

There's so much love around me. Hmmm, and I have much love to give. Love is the theme of my little niece's art. Love is the theme of these clay MTOs. And I love these gifts from Luisa. =) Thanks a lot, Liz! ...

Ukay!

I have this addiction to preloved items, translated as "ukay" in our Visayan dialect. While going through the PhP 10 pile of preloved shirts and blouses, I found this shirt. Need I say I bought it? Weeee...

stitching xs

Been quite busy lately.  My goal to stitch at least 200 x's wasn't met.  To my dismay, I have five WIPs in cross stitch now.  And two more WIPs in painting to stitch pattern conversion (too ambitious, LOL!).  You see I found a free trial of pic-to-pattern software online, and went gaga for a few days over it trying so hard to squeeze...

The following clay creations are now part of true love stories. Love, love, love, everyo...

These crochet...

3D flipflops

For quite a while I have been searching for 3D beaded flipflop pattern. When I couldn't find one online, I decided to make my own using right-angle beading. It was difficult, considering the fact that I am new to the craft. Using 4mm bi-cones and right-angle beading, I had to draw a diagram with each bead I put into it.  The first one I made...
