Tree of Life Pendant free tutorial

Tree of Life pendant is very popular among wire jewelry artist. I always wanted to make one for myself so I search in the web for available 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.

Now I have my very own of Tree of Life pendant following the video. I use 18g artistic wire for the frame and 26g for wrapping. Instead of round beads, I use turquoise chips.

Colourful landmark at Pallivion KL.

DSLR has always been in our "To Have" list for sometime. Lok and I has been doing some research on which model to own. Lot's of people reccomend Canon, which is more user friendly for beginner like us. As we are not so familiar with Canon and Lok favour Nikon, which is consider more specialize in DSLR technology. Finally we got ourselves a DSLR last Christmas, a Nikon D300S.

On our visit to Pavillion KL for dinner last week, we managed to take some shoots of the glass sculpture at the main entrance. This is our very first DSLR and both of us has no experience and even knowledge on how to use it yet.Therefore, it will be our new toy yet to be explore for 2010.

My 1st polymer clay project

I always wanted to explore into polymer clay ever since I started my handmade jewelry hobby. There's so many type and brand of clay available in the market now, eg Fimo, Premo and Sculpy; and I really do not know which one to buy. So I just kept them aside till 2 month back, I met a lady during Arts for Grab bazaar. She was selling miniature made from polymer clay, that can be turn into earrings, phonecharms, bracelet etc. After getting some basic infomations, I decided to buy the clay from her, which is a New Zealand manufactured clay - Du Kit.

Last week I finally bought an oven to start my project. I was so excited yesterday playing with the clay. I made a miniature doll, a orange cat, a chick and 3 mini cupcakes. The colours are so nice and I just can't wait to bake them.

arranging them nicely in the oven

Oh no!!!!!!!

What happen to my miniature??? All burnt!!!!!

I'm not too sure what has went wrong, as I've already follow every step in the instruction manual. Maybe I need to set the temperature lower? Or I have too little things to bake, so I don't have to bake too long? I'll gotto try that to know~

Back to basic

Still remember playing and trying to mold something out of sticky dirty clay in primary school? Things improved a lot, nowadays clay comes in various attractive colours and they are easier to manage. I got a set of Korean polymer clay from Art Friends few weeks back. Thought it will be fun playing together with my 3 years old nephew, Ivan.

To my expectation, Ivan loves it very much. Though he still do not know how to make anything out of it, but he really treasure those little toy made by Chia & me. Looking forward for the next clay session and more little toy for Ivan & meimei Reanne too.
