    Hi friends,

    How are you? Wow, I really missed my blog. 
    I've been busy with few events which I will write later :P Well, I do hope you are doing great and enjoying your day :)

    Today I'm going to upload my simple creation to join challenge in my facebook group. The group is called "HandicraftQta"managed by talented Indonesian women and this is my first time joining their challenge :) 

    The theme for this time is White and Red in order to celebrate 70th years of Independence Day of our country on 17th August 2015. So, here's my creation:


    Red and white cards and pair of earrings all are made of paper using "Gunungan" image that I created few years ago

    Pair of paper earrings. I printed out the Gunungan image and then add Mod Podge Dimensional Magic to make the earrings wearable and waterproof.

    I created this Gunungan image on 2012 and at last I got the chance to use it this year :) Check out the details on my old post here. I draw images like fish, ocean, trees, flowers etc. to describe how rich our country is and praying that God will always unite and shower us with lots of love and courage. So that we always remember His blessing and take really good care of it.


    I made this font using Photoshop program and I also made this heart image and color it using Chameleon Pen (I'm telling you, this is the hardest part, the result is far from what I expected, but well, I'm still learning using it and will try with different image next time! :P)


    So that's it for now, I hope I can win this time hehe.. If not, then it's okay, I'm glad that I can join and compete with other amazing women!! And..  I'll write more post later okay.. :)

    Thank you for reading and See you soon!

    Hello friends,

    This is another rope necklace that I created. 
    I'm using black string, feather and little heart charms and combined with some silver beads and black glass beads.
    The feather is made of metal and I wanted it to be the symbol of strength but yet it is soft.. just like a woman! on the outside woman can be so gentle and warm but on the inside it has a strength that can endure all the pain in life :) 

    This necklace is soon available on my crafts boutique. Should you need more details, you can contact me directly :)

    See you and take care!

    Hello friends!

    Today, I'm making a very simple necklace. Using dark brown string, wood beads and metal butterfly charms.

    I wanted to describe the forest which is represented by the wood beads and the branches is represented by the dark brown string.. and I hope to let this little butterfly flies away in the forest but also always be with you everyday :)

    This necklace will also available at my online crafts boutique soon. The link is on the right side of this blog. For more details, you can contact me directly :)

    Hello friends!

    Here's another result of my work, another necklace with pearls and in bronze/brown colors..

    Brown is an earthy color and pearl is an elegant symbol. I combined the ivory pearls with bronze chain to leave an elegant and a unique impression for woman as well as a down-to-earth feeling. This is a "just be yourself and be present" necklace :)

    This will be available at my online store soon. So stay tune and keep checking out my crafts boutique! You can find the link on the right side bar of this blog. See you there!

    Hello all,

    My special friend is having a birthday and I decided to give her a necklace made by myself ofcourse :P 

    She's a very strong woman, a single parent who is now fighting cancer. To me, her life story is almost the same as a novel, full of ups and downs and I honestly loves her and proud of her. She's still full of spirit and doing her work activity as many of us do. At the same time, treating herself with medical therapy every three months and being a mother of her teenage daughter.

    I guess whatever I give means nothing compare to what she has gone through.. She deserves the best things in her life. I made her a special necklace and I chose black glass beads and combine with silver beads. Black represents strength in which I mean it to represent her spirit but not only that, I also wanted to make a simple but yet an elegant necklace just as her character, a strong and elegant character :)

    This late afternoon I'm gonna meet her, I just hope that she will like it! *finger cross* :P

    Hello friends!

    As you'd probably know that I had resigned from my previous job in a company months ago! (hmm I think it's soon gonna be a year :P) Anyway, although I'm not working there anymore, I'm happy that my friends still remember me hehe.. 

    Well, one of them contacted me and asked me to make a necklace for her. She chose one of my bracelet design and wanted to have a necklace with similar design. The necklace itself is used to replace her ID card rope because she thinks that the current rope she's using is not always fit for some of her wardrobe.

    So last week, in an afternoon, after chatting with her and discussing the length sizes etc, I made this simple and rope (about 30 cm length) necklace below. I delivered it to her office in the evening on the same day :)

    Hi all!

    So today is all about late posts hehe.. I've been juggling to have some time to update my blog and today I'm glad to have a little time for that :)

    Here's another work that I made from last month. Another jewellery artist was interested in purchasing my bracelet packaging. I customized it a bit, he asked me to add a small instagram logo and do not want his details to be printed out. 

    He wanted to use this packaging for his ring. The rings sizes are quite big, so in order to fit and balance it, I had to resize twill tape rope length and also put the logo a bit down below than usual. All printed on black ink and I still use kraft papers for the packaging body :)

    Here's the result:

    Hello everyone!

    Hope you all are doing fine. I've been missing my blog very much but haven't got the chance to update it yet. For the past few weeks, I've been busy with my online store and some custom order. 

    Ow, remember that I uploaded my personal bracelet packaging months ago? Well, someone actually liked it hehe.. and I got an order from a jewellery artist who needs to make pack her bracelet with my packaging design. Anyway, I managed to make some for her and customized it a bit. I printed out her contact details inside and only used her logo on the label. As requested, I printed out in black ink and change her logo to black as well.

    I was glad that she liked it :) And here's the result:
