Tree of Life Pendant free tutorial

Found this tutorial on YouTube, a video showing step by step on how to create a Tree of Life Pendant by Camille Sharon. It's pretty easy to follow as the she has capture the steps very clearly.

New Kids On The Blog

Gosh!!! It's Friday again and 3rd day of July, means that we are already half way through 2009! 1 week has passed since Louise visit me, and I have not been updating my blog.

Hmmm.... let me see.... first of all , let's welcome ...... new kid on the Blog ...-Louisedancing. Louise, my best buddy drop by my house with her laptop last Friday. She wanted to learn more about how to use blogger. Hehee... can't call myself an expert yet, but I'm certainly more than happy to share my knowledge and experience.

I was like her 2 months back, started a blog but totally "blurr" on how to go about it. Thanks to Brother Chun Kiat, A Chia and Brian, my fellow mentors whom have given me great advise and guidance through my learning curves.

While Melok's Place remains as my personal, family & friends blog; I have now created a new blog for all my darling handmade jewelry - , click here to find out more.

There are a lot more to explore in this cyberspace. What's next? Twiteer...Myspace... Stumble Upon...

Beware of this!!!

There's still a lot of irresponsible ppl trying to "steal" money from us, so beware!!!! Daddy receive this SMS , he did not apply or enter any competition organised by this company nor bought any of their product before. By the way, this company name does not exist, the actual name is Power Root (M) Sdn Bhd. Daddy do not have any friend with this number, so.......Who dare to call them?

收纳新 Idea

最近爱上了手工和串珠， 也买了蛮多珠子。同样是爱好者的一定也知道收纳这些小珠珠十分伤脑筋。 材料种类多而小， 有时候要找某样东西真的不容易。
昨天不小心被我看到一篇蛮有用的相关文章， 是位台湾串珠达人 Allen 分享的。原来可以这样收········ Allen老师 建议用的药盒， 在 The Curve 的 Daiso 可以买到；五令吉而已。看看以下照片， 我还加上了 labelling， 方便下次补货不会买错 size 和 colour。

Improvement!

Before
Have been busy polishing my basic wire bending skill. Not easy to get the perfect loops. After bending,cutting, re-bending, cutting again....Here's a bracelet I've made with my improved skill. Feel free to give me any comments.

Improved version

New Material

Sneak view of what I've made

Last week I bought some more beads and finding from Beading World again. I prefer buying from them coz they sell in smaller quantity, so as a new beader I can try on varieties rather than buying in bulk. More importantly I find they have quality stuff.

My favorate pass time

Earrings made after buying some findings and beads

Bracelets I've made recycling some of my sister old chain and jewelry

My very first creation

Lately I have urge to start doing things that I like to do when young, beading and jewelry making. Since I'm currently staying at home most of the time, this will keep me busy. It's really satisfying when a piece of jewelry is made. Especially when I see other people wearing my creation and they love it too. Feel free to give me any comment as there is always rooms for improvement.

I'm crazy about earring that's why I make the most of it. I'm now trying to make bracelet, will post more later. Stay tune.

Ready...get set... go!

Blogging is something new to us. We never thought of creating our own blog, maybe we are too busy with our works.... until lately I'm down with ankle problem which leads me with more times to explore on the web. I'm really amazed with the world of internet, there are so many things we have left behind in terms of IT. This have urge me to learn more.
Started this blog to share our humble thoughts, what we found interesting and of cause to updates friends and family about our life.
