Experiment: Wrap Bracelet with stone beads

Another experiment for wrap bracelet for my personal use. This time I used some gem stone beads for them. The first time I'm using gem stone beads which was quite expensive material that I've ever bought for only beads! The weaving of the beads to me a lot of time & I need to bead one by one those 4mm beads while weaving on the cord. For 4 wrap bracelet took me nearly 2 days to complete! Really tedious to make except you have the patient. Yeah, I was crazy with these wrap bracelet that's why I do it! LOL. Anyway here's the outcome:

Blue Agate gemstone beads combined with some purple glass beads & metal beads, wrap on blue cotton cord & a flower design button for the fastener.

Black Agate gemstone beads combined with some brown glass beads, silver & gunmetal metal beads, wrap on black cotton cord & a vintage flower design button as the fastener.

This one is wrap with white Howlite gemstone beads on a black cotton cord & plastic resin button for the fastener. Just love the natural black cracks on the beads.

This is how they look like when I wear them!

Just love them that I wear each of them alternately to work! =P
What do you think? =)

Custom Triple Zippered Crochet Pouch!

This is a custom order pouch by Kak Ina for her mobile phones (which I think she have 2) and all the other miscellaneous stuff that she want to be in one place. Here's the finished pouch: 

All the zippers & inner felt lining are hand sewn (No sewing machine). It take me some time to figure out how to make the triple zipper compartments. This maroon pouch has safely passed to Kak Ina. 

She loves it. Thanks Kak Ina!

I got another 2 pouch order from her, one for herself  (cosmetic pouch) & another one for her daughter Need to work out with the design soon! =)

Cool Mohawk Beanie!

A special request from a Chelsea football team fan! He requested navy blue beanie with black Mohawk. I was really an exciting order as I never done one before =D. Here's the outcome:
 

Tadaaa~ I'm quite satisfied with the outcome. What do you think? Would you want to wear one yourself? =)

This Mohawk Beanie has arrived safely to the owner! Hope that Chelsea team will have a good match with Harimau Malaya team (aka Malaya Tigers; Malaysian team) this Thursday!

Experiment: Cord bracelet!

 An experiment making some simple adjustable cord bracelet for personal collection:

Adjustable cotton cord bracelet with some rusty gold beads & donut Jade given by Mikko. I was thinking of wearing the Jade, so this is the best way to wear it as I like bracelet compare to necklace =) 

A simple design cord bracelet with a gold unique button for fastening. Some of my friend even called it prosperity as the colour red & gold =)

I'm crazy about bracelet now! XD

Experiment: My First Wrap Bracelet

I love bracelets. I love Chan Lulu's gorgeous wrap bracelet which also inspired me to make my own wrap bracelet! This is my first attempt to make a wrap bracelet of my own using imitation leather cord & metal chain. Check it out:

Tadaaa~ I used one of my favorite metal button for the fastener. I just managed to make a 2 wrap bracelet with my available imitation leather cord.

This is how the wrap bracelet look like when I wear it. It's becoming one of my fav accessories. 

I will try to make more with different materials & more wraps when I managed to get the supplies.

What do you think about my new wrap bracelet? =)

MFK Baby Beanies!

An order requested by Noorahayu for her baby Najla. She requested a red earflap beanie & a black beret. It's my first time making these beanie designs for a 2months old baby. Here's the outcome:

 

Baby red earflap beanie! A way smaller version compare to the adult earflap =D.

 A plain black baby beret beanie for baby Najla.

Noorahayu had received the beanies safely & they fits baby Najla just nicely.  Plus she look so cute in it! (I've saw her wearing it on FB =D)

Thanks for ordering! =)

Experiment: Another batch of MFK Design Blairs!

Here's another batch of wrap crochet headband that I did. This time I've used a smaller headband with teeth & play around with beads for the embellishment. Here's the outcome:

Crocheted blue sew with gunmetal round beads.

 Crocheted brown sew with bronze rice beads.

 Crocheted grey sew with metallic metal chain.

Crocheted pink sew with silver rice beads.

What do you think of my new design blairs? =)

Experiment: Cool Chick Crocheted Headband!

An attempt to try something new! Recently I'm sorta obsess with headband after looking at our proud Malaysian (from Sarawak) Sereni & Shentel's gorgeous handmade headbands quite sometime ago!
Well this motivates me to make some of my own designs using yarns. Here's my few attempts of making my own crochet blairs:

 Crocheted with blue yarn & sew on some stardust flat back.

Crocheted with light grey yarn & sew on with metallic chain.

  Crocheted with gunmetal round beads in dark grey.

I just love making them & I'll be making more soon. 

What do you think of my additional accessories in my wardrobe? =)

Art for Grabs + KL Alternative Bookfest at Annexe Gallery

Last Saturday, I went to Art for Grabs at Annexe Gallery near Central Market with Zam. It's a bazaar where people can sell their art/craft stuff & even literature/art books for the KL Alternative Bookfest. Miyyah (Miyyah@Kertas), Saza (ShareYourLoveWithCards), Nirwana (My Glass Cubicle) & Dura were there selling their craft & artwork. The crowd were ok & not too pack, so actually we can slowly browse every booth there. It was fun & a lot of the visitors really appreciate art & crafts! Here's some snapshot that I took there:

Overview of the craft & art section.

Miyyah & Saza booth selling their paper work! There are plenty of pretty & cool cards, toppers, magnets, albums & even paper miniatures.

 Miyyah's neighbour, Nirwana (MyGlassCubicle) who helped to look after Miyyah's & Saza booth when there are not around & Durra who was busy preparing fabric dye paint for sale. I love to see Dura's gorgeous artwork + T-shirts & Nirwana's cute knit baby booties! 

 There are some familiar faces in the bazaar like Individium & Juxta Arts. But one that I haven't meet in person is Reita Rahim from Gerai OA. I knew her from FB & she was really a nice lady =).   She helped in running the Gerai OA. 

What is Gerai OA? Taken from FB: "It's a volunteer- run, nomadic stall selling crafts, books, CDs & DVDs on the Orang Asal (indigenous minorities) of Malaysia. 100% of the sales money is returned to the artisan, business or NGOs."

I bought two pretty bead bracelets by the Rungus (indegenous of Sabah) =) Love them!

After the Art for Grabs, I went to Ampang Park with Zam & his lady friend to buy some yarns. Here's what I had there for an early dinner!

 My Favorite Asam Laksa (Rice noodle with tonnes of chunky sardine meat, pineapple, cucumber etc in sour fish soup)! Yum! But I still prefer the Asam Laksa taste at the Jusco MidValley's =D.
