More updates

First 2 of 4 coptic-bound hardcover books. White unlined pages with pink or patterned papers for each signature. All 4 are pink and unique :-)

 

DD wanted more clips and I got a bit carried away at the shops. Somehow, hair clips at craft shops cost less than hair clips at accessories shop. These are in gunmetal, DD's current favourite colour for accessories.

So I made some bookmarks with the organza ribbons using antique brass and gunmetal ribbon crimps and charms. I like the shells most. These are really simple to make. A tad tricky to roll the end and crimp it but otherwise, just attach a charms using an O-ring.

I like simple shiny shapes. Kind of regret only getting 2 each. Hope there'll be more at the shop when I next go there. Attached a flower to the light blue double wrap braided bracelet posted previously. Used one square for a bracelet similar in design to the ones I've made before. Last 2 are for an interchangeable necklace. I like the blue + silver combo.

Have a blessed day!

Heavy metal

Just wanted to share this picture. Perhaps it might just cheer you up like it does to me. :-) I think I'll be happier when there're lesser of these. Maybe I should set myself a target to finish using these by end of ... 2012?

What would you like me to make for you?

Have a blessed day!

Finally they're here...

I've been waiting for these 6mm antique brass double cap rivets for about a month. Finally, they arrived yesterday. While it's just as effective to sew across like the bottom right pic, I prefer the top right one with the rivet. For a change, no? :-)

I'll be adding more rivets and then list more pouches on Tiffany's Shoppe. Check them out later!

Have a blessed day!

Afternote:

I went to put rivets and didn't realize that I have so many pouches, LOL! Some were sewn for the NUS Bazaar but I got carried away and have so many more at home and more along the way. Hmmm...

I think I have a giraffe's neck

Hong Kong is so near, yet so far. I say this because my orders of antique brass double cap rivets have yet to arrive though I placed the order early this month. Korea's farther yet it takes less than a week. Even US shipments from the Borderlinx warehouse takes less than a week. I've been checking and checking the mailbox but *sigh* no rivets.

These are tissue zipper pouches. Japanese and Korean linen exterior machine quilted for added interest. The tea-coloured ones look like linen too, but are made from cotton. I used YKK 12cm metal zips for these and I think I'll use in future vs the 5" zips 'cos these are a better fit. Not only that, these zips have interchangeable zipper pulls so I can attach zipper pulls that look like charms. Can you tell the 4 different types that I have?

The thing is, these are all lacking the rivets on the straps. I can sew but the rivet makes it a more polished look, no? Let's see how long the rivets will take to come. I hope they come this week before I get a sore neck from looking out for them for so long.

Have a blessed day!

Cuteness

Made these tissue zipper pouches. Tissue case on one side and zippered compartment at the top. These are slightly smaller than those I've made in the past and just the right size for a single pack of tissue. Added these cute zipper pulls too. Antique brass hardware all round. What's left is just the straps and I'm just waiting for the rivets to arrive. You can't see from this pic but I've quilted the other side and put a 'handmade' label. Maybe I'll take another pic of these with the straps when they're done but I just like the zipper pulls. Kawaii, desune?

Have a blessed weekend!
