SUPPLIES SURPRISE 2!

MY HAUL

Like a 5 year old kid got let loose in a candy shop. I WENT NUTS. Bouncing off the walls, checking every shop and scrutinizing all their wares. I am ever so glad my mom was there to accompany me, or else I'd never be able to leave! The people there were really nice, I might be stereotyping here but  crafters seem like really happy people. I suppose its that inner peace you get when your work is your fun and love. I know two 30 year old artists who I swear look under 18, and I still can't believe it. 


So I think I blew about RM150 here. Although I wish I brought more money :< it would have been worth it. Now I just can't wait for the weekends and my leave to get approved! Just want to hole myself up in my room and get crafting!



Supplies Surprise 2 was held at Bfree, Dataran Mentari, a few weeks ago. The third event is in the works, possibly after the next 3 months. Make it for the next one! :D

5 minute fridge magnets!


Alright it may or may not take 5 minutes, but this is a really simple DIY to kind of spice up a fridge at possibly zero cost if you scrounge up some random knick knacks from your box of hoarded stuff. 



If you're not a regular hoarder like I am, stuff like these are available for pretty cheap in stationery shops and craft shops. Although I cant speak for the magnets. I recycled a magnet piece from an old fridge magnet that broke apart and got some magnet strips from my old clay kit.

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.

a little close up.

 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
