Hari Kraf Kebangsaan 2008 (National Craft Day 2008)

I love these gorgeous little lace doilies you find in charity shops, they are simply works of art! By adding a little bead trim they make great jug covers.

Cross stich titled Waiting for Ships by Mirabilla. Some beading. Completed 2002

Sleeve on a dress I made for my mom in 2001. (Yes, it looks upside-down, but that's sort of a matter of which end of a sleeve you think of as "up;" -- at the bottom of the picture is the cuff.) These are very, very loosely based on some 12th century sleeves which you can learn about here.

Beading Demo at the Baba Exhibition.

My own design - very vintage!!

This design is suitable for plain baju kurung. I hope Puan Asmah happy with my beading work. Congrats on your son convocation.

Easy peasy - 2 bracelets and one necklace in pink and purple

(And the Sunday Post Arts section as a backdrop!)

Here's a good picture of the blue "flash" of the rainbow moonstone beads. Just ignore the Transformer in the background :)

I didn't know almost-four year olds could handle stringing tiny beads, but this is Em's new favorite past time. She says she's making bracelets for everyone this year. I love this kid!

Beading necklace

You can get a very cool barnacle texture using seed beads and a center bead. Tutorial

Shiny!

One of my nooks &/or crannies. Oh, and more "chromological" organization with the beads.

I decided to get into some beading with my polymer clay. I can't "clay" when I'm visiting Mom, but I can bead!

From reality to beaded jewelry...

Czech beads, Japanese beads, crystals, plastic beads, river pearls, ametrins, rubys, artificial leather.

This is the costume I made for the Enchanted Doll birthday contest in 2010. It's based on one of the dolls that the artist made and constructed to fit her. The original doll costume can be seen here: www.enchanteddoll.com/galleries/concubine/concubine.html

Here it's finished, but only has minimal beading around the edges.

The finished product! After months of beading (very intermittently, I was working on it when I was sick in early pregnancy), and after getting suckered into way too much product at the frame store, this is the final result!
