Clock Makeover!

Before.... After!

Say hello to my cheap RM5 ikea clock :

After two faithful years.

 Its background disintegrated into crumbs of plastic after a few years of hanging on my wall, but its mechanism was still working fine. So instead of getting myself a new clock I decided a makeover was in place.

if you'd like to use this, you're certainly most welcome to!

 I drew and printed out my own background for the clock, then cut it to fit. I took everything apart, wiped them clean, scraped as much of the remains of the background out as I could, and then gave the frame a nice sky blue paint job.

ready for assembly

Then I pretty much glued everything together.

Now scroll down to admire how pretty its become :

Pretty neat huh? I made myself a fancy new clock with just under RM7 : >

Thanks for reading!

My olde commissions ~

During my college years, I got a few commissions to sew plushies for two very passionate cosplayers. Sewing probably isnt my preferred skill to display, but its definitely a break from the pencil and wacom tablet. So when my friend offered me the job, I totally jumped at the opportunity.

Detective Kun Kun and Gatomon.

Delivery time usually coincided with Comic Fiesta, so I'd have a few months to source the materials and plan the design, and right after completing the last college assignment of the year, I'd immediately take up the needle and sew, just in time for CF. College days were extremely hectic and busy.

Spinel Sun

I probably had the most fun with Spinel Sun, because I had more time with it than I did with the rest. And since it was gonna end up in the post, I figured I'd have a little bit of fun with the packaging too.

 So here :D  little sewing projects I never shared with anyone till now. Also, a lesson learnt when sewing with felt and fluff : Wear a mask, or their fibres will end up stuck in your throat and lungs. I sounded like a cat regurgitating furball for days after :<

and to the two lovely cosplayers : Thanks for the commissions! :D

i love colourful things
