How do you draw flowers?

I like the contrast of this ring. It's a simple flower design, like the type I used to draw when I was in primary school, paired with intricate silver tone filigree adjustable ring base. I stuck the base on with E6000. I accidentally washed a previous ring and it survived a full cycle intact. Not only did the fabric stay on the button, the base was still very firmly stuck. I used to use super glue. Not any more. :-)

Have a blessed day!

Quick update

So the PSLE's over and we're in spring-cleaning mode. I managed to squeeze out some items though.
Antique bronze shepherd's hook bookmarks with full Persian chainmaille weave and charms. The squirrel and dolphin were a gift from a supplier so I only have 1 each. The Sue Bonnets and bunnies I bought from South Bridge road.

We finally bought E6000, the industrial strength glue for sticking the ring bases to the fabric-covered buttons. I like the filigree ones though DS said it looks too fat for the ring. I think it's so pretty that it can be worn on its own. :-) DD has claimed the butterfly, by the way, LOL!
More stuff coming, after the spring-cleaning. That's for sure. The postlady's been here quite often with packages for us that we'll be making into some pretty items in time for Christmas.
Watch this space.

Have a blessed day!

Happy National Day

Here are some pics of what I've been making recently. 
Byzantine bookmarks with anodized aluminium rings and charms.
 
 Antique bronze bookmarks - Full Persian on the left and Byzantine on the right.
For the most important book in the world :-) 
These Byzantine star keychains remind me of the song that goes like...
There are five stars arising out of the stormy sea...

Happy National Day!
