Just Want to Say

I just want to say (look at the doodle above). Hahaha, I’m sorry if I make your lovely day before new year become bad because you see my doodle. But, what can I do? I feel annoyed for some people for some cases but I can’t say it aloud to them. Because what? Yeah, because they’re annoying!

Once again, I’m sorry because of my harsh doodle. But, I can’t keep it in my heart forever, I need a release.

Okay, I’m ready for new craft projects again. See ya!

Keychain Pouch

Long time no touch felt, but yesterday I made this cute keychain pouch for myself from felt. I just playing around at www.digu.com and found tutorial how to make a keychain pouch from felt. I think digu is similar with pinterest, but it is in Chinese (if I am not wrong). I don’t understand Chinese, but since the pictures and tutorials are clear, then its not a matter for me. Hehehe… ^_^

Alright, this is my keychain pouch. The way I make this was adopted from tutorial I found at digu ( I don’t know the real artis or crafter who make the tutorial). But, I make my keychain pouch like I want, with my stuff and taste. I use yellow felt because I love yellow. Then I also use lace and bow (made from felt) to make Lolita looks (yeah, I love Lolita with bows and laces, hehehe). Actually there is a special keychain holder for it, but I don’t have it so I just use keychain rings.

Chrysanthemum Kanzashi

Happy Mother’s Day, everyone!!! ^o^

Okay, this is my newest kanzashi flowers, all of them are chrysanthemum, just in different colours. They’re in white, broken white, and coral. The petals of chrysanthemum that I make this time is different with the chrysanthemum I made before, and the size of every petals also bigger, so I just make 3 layers. The leaves also has bigger size but lower in number. Hehehe ^_^

How To Sharpen Dull Scissor

Happy weekend everyone! ^o^

I think old people always have their own ways to do their house chores in the past. Then I curious how old people sharpen their scissor, because I believe they will not throw something easily as trash. I asked my mom and she said that traditional barber usually cut the neck of glass bottle to sharpen their scissor. What? Really? Does it works?

Then I try to cut the neck of glass bottle about more than 5 minutes with my dull scissor. That scissor of mine was dull because I cut fabric, felt, paper, cardboard, tape, even thin wire with it, but I’m too lazy to buy new scissor, hehehe… :p

I didn’t know why (the scientific reason) but it works! My scissor became sharp again. Of course I was happy. If you try this, make sure to cut the glass bottle, not the other. In this picture, there’s something disturb the glass bottle neck, but I try to avoided it when I sharpened my scissor. I hope it works with your scissor too. Hehehe ^_^

Sweet Lavender Kanzashi Series

Lately, I’m addicted to make kanzashi flowers in series with same colours. Hehehe… ^_^

Red Velvet Kanzashi Series and Pink Chrysanthemum

Good rainy Friday morning everyone! ^o^

Its really cold and I’m too lazy to take a bath yet. I think I need warm the water (to bath) before my flu become worse. But, before I do that, I will write some blogposts.

This time I make another kanzashi series that I call Red Velvet Kanzashi Series. Actually I don’t make it from velvet, just from soft shirt fabric. I call it red velvet because the colour looks very good (in my taste). This is a request from a costumer. She interested with Coral Kanzashi Series that I make before and wants 2 series, but just coral series that available. So, I make another series for her with her choice colours, deep red and pink.

Gift Wrap with Batik Paper and Kanzashi Flower

What do you think about my gift wrap? Or do you interested what inside? Hehehe… ^_^

Yeah, this is one of doorstoppers in my house and of course the inside is wood, a hard and heavy one called ulin (Ulin Wood). It’s a good quality wood that really really expensive now. If I’m not wrong this ulin that we use as doorstopper is as old as my house, because this piece of wood was leftover when this house built. If you ever read my blogpost about 2 years ago (when I’m still a beginner in craft and blog), I ever made a felt cake that I call cheese cake (if I’m not wrong, I’m too lazy the recheck it). It’s the doorstopper that I remake. I remake it because it got dirty.

I just do simple thing to cover this doorstopper. I use paper gift with batik pattern, gold ribbon, bead, shir fabric to make kanzashi flower, tape, and glue. I choose warm colours because I like it. Hehehe… ^_^

Sweet and Dark Kanzashi Series

Hello, good Wednesday morning everyone! What a good date today, December 11^th 2013 (11-12-13). Hehehe… :p

Alright, I make another kanzashi series again. The name is Sweet and Dark Kanzashi Series. I call it like that because the colours that I use this time are pink, white, black, and gray. I inspirated by Lolita fashion, sweet and gothic Lolita. I love both of it, so when I got black fabric (I already have pink, white, and gray), I decided to make sweet and dark kanzashi, two opposite colours. Hehehe… ^_^

Foxy Apron

Good Saturday morning and happy weekend everyone! ^_^

Today I will write about my newest apron that I made yesterday. Yeah, yesterday and actually it finished just about some hours. Friday morning I cut felt to make the fox and flowers applique. After I take a bath then I handsew the applique. Actually I handsew all of it because I don’t brave enough to sew jeans with sewing machine. I’m afraid the machine will be broken.

Okay, this is the stuff I use. You can see it by yourself. If you read my previous blogpost you will notice that this is the second apron that I made to upcycle jeans. But there are some differences between them. You can see, this is my second jeans apron

And this is my frist one.

I really love the fox. Hehehe… ^_^

Actually I bought 3 colours (all of them I use when I make these kanzashi flowers), that is coral, leaf green, and broken white. I just think how about I make some kanzashi flowers with this colours, and this is it, my coral kanzashi series!

Wisteria Kanzashi

Finally I make it! Wisteria of Fuji Blossom Kanzashi. Actually I don’t brave enough to make wisteria or fuji blossom kanzashi because I never see the real flower by my own eyes, so I don’t know the real shape of it. Beside that, I also do not have proper stuff to make that kind of kanzashi. But yesterday, suddenly I depressed. I usually became really brave if I stress or depress. I just take my scissor then cut the fabrics.

If you think I’m the one who make these cute felt pouches, then you’re absolutely wrong. Because the one who make these was my mom. Lately she loves make pouches from felt.

One day, she want a very simple pouch that similar to her old pouch that she usually bring to traditional market. Then she told me that she wants to make a felt pouch that the colours similar to my pouch (you can read my blogpost about my strawberry felt pouch). She take broken white and pink felt from my craft storage (because I use broken white and dirty pink on my strawberry pouch), but I told her to change pink with orchid (soft purple). She agree then she design and sew the pouch by herself.

The first felt pouch that she made was very cute. She loves combination between broken white and purple.

Easy Photo Editing with Cymera

Look at my newest red peony kanzashi, isn’t it pretty?!? ^o^

This time I use red and pink soft shirt fabric. I make the peony kanzashi a little different with original peony kanzashi because I’m in the mood for to do it. I use some small beads and woll yarn. I love this red peony kanzashi!

Alright, actually I just made this kanzashi this morning then take the photo at noon. Before I take a photo of it, I show this kanzashi to my parents. My father said something about give it to someone. What??? It looks like my fater has missunderstanding with me (because I sometime give my crafts to my friends) but sorry, I don’t give this kanzashi for free to anyone. I usually take photos at daylight on my veranda, over creamy ceramics. Then I editing the photo using Cymera on my tab. After I finished, I show the photo to my father then he said the photo was prettier than the real one. What??? Is it mean that my kanzashi was ugly??? or I did too much editing??? Sigh, actually I don’t do much editing to my photos. So, I decide to make a tutorial how I did my editing.

I use Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and installing Cymera. Cymera is like a programme to take photos and editing it. I use Cymera because it’s very easy to use and the results were pretty. I think the most important things for crafty photos are watermark and a little effect. So, I just give a little effect and write text for my crafty photos, like this one. Usually, after I editing the photos, I upload it to my facebook, pinterest, fanpage, or twitter. Then I download my own photos and save it in my laptop. Yeah, if you lazy like me, you can do this too, hehehe… :p

Patchwork Doodle

Happy sunny Sunday morning everyone! ^o^

Finally I finish my newest doodle, patchwork doodle. I really love patchwork but not good in making it. So, I think I could draw a patchwork with doodle pattern. So, this is it!

Felt Carrots and doughnuts

Happy Saturday morning everyone! ^o^

Look at these carrots, isn’t it cute? Hehehe… :p

If you think I’m the one who make these felt carrots, then you’re wrong. Because the one who made these was my mom. Yeah, she has plenty time and curious so she tried to make these carrots. She use sewing machine to sew the inside then handsewing the top. I like the colours, I think orange and green are pretty together. Beside carrots, she also make some strawberries. I don’t take the photo of those strawberries because its similar to strawberries felt we made earlier (you can read on my previous blogpost).

While my mom sew those felt carrots, I was make these doughnuts. I think its not as pretty as my previous doughnuts felt. Maybe because the felt that I used was not as bright as the previous one, and because I feel bored. Yeah, my lackness is I can make something too much because I can feel bored and tired easily. But, that’s okay. I still like my doughnuts felt keychains. Ah yeah, we (me and my mom) put keychain ringson the carrots, strawberries and doughnuts that we made.

This is the kebaya that I aimed.

Then, I choose to make kanzashi from cotton fabric. I have purple sasirangan (traditional fabric from South Kalimantan) gown, then I choose purple and yellow fabric to make the kanzashi. Oh yeah, on the photo you can see a hair comb behind the kanzashi. I don’t glue the kanzashi on it, just place the kanzashi on top of it, because I want use the kanzashi on my hijab or veil using pin (not hair comb). Hehehe… :p

Girls on Doodle

Good Sunday night, everyone!

This is my new doodle. Actually I made the sketch about 2 weeks ago but then abandoned because I was busy with other things and do not have the mood to doodling. My mood is the most important thing to make my doodle this time, because I draw my anger on it.

My doodle this time has a message on it, you can read it. It written in Bahasa Indonesia, in English it means “You are not me and I never want to be you”. Actually I wrote a prose (or a poetry) about my anger too (you can read on my previous blog post, written in Bahasa Indonesia) and make this doodle as blog post cover. I just want to tell to people that everyone of us are unique with our own way, have different passion and taste.

Sometime I feel bad because I release my anger or madness to a prose, poetry, or doodle. But I think its still better that badmouth about something or someone who make me angry.

Sweet Blue Hat Pincushion

Alright, I make another hat pincushion!

Well, actually I make it because I want make a tutorial how to make it. But, I don’t know when will I write the tutorial then upload it here, because I’m in lazy mood to edit the photos. Hehehe… :p

Prosa : Bukan Orang yang Sama

Kita bertemu di sebuah pelabuhan

Aku tersenyum, kau tersenyum, mereka tersenyum

Tujuan yang tertulis di tiket kita serupa

Aku tahu kau kehilangan sesuatu

Hingga mata mereka tertuju padamu

Kau mengepakkan sayap hitammu, aku diam, mereka bungkam

Kau mengepakkan sayap putihmu, aku tersenyum, mereka bersorak

Aku tidak membencimu

Aku hanya muak dipaksa berdiri di belakangmu

Diseret mengikuti langkahmu

Kau bahkan tak menoleh walau aku berontak dan terseok

Aku bisa berjalan tegap jika tujuanmu adalah tujuanku

Namun, hasratmu bukan hasratku

Kau bukan aku

dan

Aku tak pernah ingin menjadi dirimu

Upcycle Jeans to A Cute Apron

I really love recycle nor upcycle things, because it was really fun to do and of course it was also fun to see people face when they realize what we make is a recycle or upcycle thing. This is my newest upcycle project, an apron from old jeans.

I was looking for old clothes that unused from my cupboard but then I realize my good but old clothes were given to some people because my cupboard is full. I hate when my cupboard full of clothes, so I decided to give some clothes (it were still in good condition but I don’t or seldom use it) to people, my neighbor exactly. Actually I have an old pajama, a dress one with batik design. I love that pajama because it cool when used. But I give up on it because it was really old. Another reason, my mother buys me some new pajamas for me. Then, I change that old pajama to be an apron. Unfortunately, I don’t take a picture of it.
