Felt Doll

Wow, long time I do not make felt dolls.

I will not write much about it, because I made it about 2 weeks ago. The things that I remember is it’s difficult to make. Hehehe… ^_^

Sweet Brooches

Good Sunday morning, everyone!!! ^o^

Finally, I can write a blog post after a long time. Reason? Because my laptop used by my little brother. Many things happen. Good news and bad news. Actually a good news that brings bad news for my saving (bank account). Ah, whatever! I don’t want to talk about it here.

Okay, I make lots of brooches actually, but just some that I will upload here.

I also make a brooch for my self. I’m in love with tassel, that’s why I make a fabric flower with tassels. I really love! Of course, I also make some for my shop. If you interested, you can visit my fanpage on facebook “Imero Hemo”.

Ah, I make this for my aunt because my uncle and her are so nice to me.

Hairpins and Brooches

Well, hello December! ^o^

Tonight I will upload some photos of the hairpins and brooches that I made last Sunday. Yeah, someone asked Imero Hemo (or me) to make her a series of fabric flower with kanzashi style for her. She said she wants to use it to complete her yukata when she take her prewedding photoshoot. She was not sure to use hijab or not, because sometimes yukata doesn’t work with hijab (she said like that). So, I asked her, what if I make some fabric flowers then glue both hairpin and brooch behind it. So, she can use it when she use hijab or not.

Then, this is it! I hope she likes it!

Takoyaki Keychain

Happy Saturday morning everyone!!! ^o^

Finally, I make something from felt again! I’m so happy! Yeah, I know, it’s rather weird being happy just because small thing. But what could I do? It’s so fun! ^o^

This time I make keychain from felt. Like usual, I make felt food and this time I make takoyaki. I don’t know, I just like the shape of that food so I make it.

Alright, I need to do something before I go to craft shop today. So, see you next time.

Pretty Simple Doodle

Hello, happy Wednesday, everyone! ^o^
Don't worry, this time I do not write about my brooches (if you already bored of it). Actually, I was stress because of something then I decide to draw a doodle, a pretty simple one. Then, this is it!

This time I use some spidol or colour pen. Actually I prefer crayon than spidol or pencil colour but unfortunately I can't use it anymore. Because my mom gave it to my little nephew.
Okay, I need to do something. So, see you next time!

Flobow Brooches

Happy Monday morning everyone!!! ^o^

Again, I make brooches. I hope you do not bored with my brooches, hehehe… :p

This time I make fabric flower with bow. I don’t know, I just want to make it then I make it. As for the fabric flower, I make lot of trial and error. Yeah, I was looking for tutorial on youtube, but none suitable for me (in other words, I can’t do like a crafter on youtube do). So, I watch some tutorials (3 different crafters) then I combine their techniques, and it works! Then I make it in my style. Hehehe… :p

I make the bows from sateen fabric too. Thats why I call it as flower and bow (Flobow). I put some white beads on it. its rather big, about 11cm x 14cm and available on my shop.

This is my other work. I use golden colour in this one.

Alright, I need to do something. So, see you next time!

Half Moon Brooches

Yeah, this is the second blog post that I write this morning. Like I wrote before in my previous blog post, I will write about my latest brooches. This brooches I call as Half Moon, because I make the shape of half sphere.

I use some cute white beads on it, some lace, and of course fabric flowers. Its rather big, about 12 cm x 6,5 cm and it available on my online shop (Imero Hemo).

Alright, I need to do something, so see you next time!

Galuh Bungas Brooches

Hello, good morning everyone!!! ^o^

This morning I will write about my new design of brooch that I call Galuh Bungas. Actually I don’t know anymore what should I call this, but then I think, why I don’t name it with my mother language that is Bahasa Banjar. Bahasa Banjar is one of many of mother languages in Indonesia that used in Borneo Island. Then, I choose Galuh Bungas. Galuh Bungas means Gadis Cantik in Bahasa Indonesia or Beautiful Girl in English.

This brooch is rather big. I just make it in 2 colours and now it available on my online shop.

Alright, see you in next blog post (because I will write about my other new design of brooch)!!! ^o^

Happy November

Hello, happy Sunday morning!

Long time I’m not here because my lil bro’s laptop still broken, so he borrow my laptop until this time. I think he will borrow my laptop again this afternoon. Yeah, sibling must sharing, right? Hehehe…

I don’t know, I just feel do not want to make anything, so lately I do not make anything at all. The picture I attach in this blog post is my creation about a week ago.

Okay, I hope my mood will be good so I can crafting again. So, see you next time!

Bon Voyage Series

Alhamdulillah, finally I can make it! ^o^

Please welcome, my newest brooches series, Bon Voyage Series! Yeah, I’m very happy now, even my mom said that I looks busy with my own world. Same like Crazy Rainbow Series, Bon Voyage Series is inspirated by One Piece’s song. But this time, I’m not only use the title of the song as name of the brooch series, but also the colours that resembled each crew of Strawhat Pirate. I make 9 brooches for 9 crews. I know it is not perfect, but yeah, what can I say? I like it!

I make Bon Voyage Series to fulfill my ego. I really love One Piece by Oda-sensei and I got lot of inspirations from his work and those singers who sing for One Piece. Eventhough it available on my online shop, actually I don’t care if other people will like it or not. Because I make anything that I like.

By the way, this time, I like tassel. So I use tassel in Bon Voyage Series.

Okay, I need to cut some fabric. So, see you next time and good night!

White Brooch for My Mom

Hello, good Sunday morning, everyone!!! ^o^

Today I just want to upload my simple white brooch that I make for my mom. I use all of white because that it is my mom’s favorite colour. Oh yaeh, this time I use snapeee. I think this app doesn’t suitable for me, I will uninstall it later, because I need to put this and that to make it pretty (in other words, I’m lazy to do it, hehehe).

Alright, I need to finish my new brooch series. Yes, new series!!! So, see you next time!!! ^o^

Imero Hemo dan Watermark

Selamat siang!

Hari ini saya akan membahas tentang Imero Hemo dan watermark. Alasannya akan saya jelaskan nanti. Pertama, saya mau membahas foto-foto yang saya unggah atas nama Imero Hemo. Saya pernah membaca dari berbagai sumber, seperti blog perseorangan, marketplace, pinterest, maupun catatan seseorang atau grup mengenai watermark (tanda) pada sebuah foto (khususnya foto hasil karya). Semua menyebutkan bahwa watermark tersebut penting namun keberadaannya tidak boleh menghalangi produk (hasil karya) yang ingin ditunjukkan. Oleh karena itu, saya selalu meletakkan watermark pada bagian bawah hasil karya saya sehingga tidak mengganggu penampilan karya itu sendiri. Namun, risikonya adalah watermark tersebut dapat dihilangkan dengan cara memotong foto tersebut. Terkesan kejam, namun memang ada yang melakukannya.

Kebetulan pagi ini saya mendapat sebuah pesan dari seseorang yang menyatakan bahwa beliau pernah mengunggah foto Imero Hemo via BBM. Mungkin beliau menyukai salah satu karya IH kemudian mengunggah foto tersebut. Saya tidak tahu selebihnya bagaimana, karena saya tidak mempunyai akun BBM. Saya punya trauma dengan ponsel merk Blackberry sehingga saya tidak berniat mendownload aplikasi BBM walaupun sudah ada untuk versi androidnya. Bukan, ponsel Blackberry tidak pernah melakukan kesalahan apapun pada saya, hanya beberapa kejadian yang membuat saya tidak mau menyentuhnya. Okay, kembali ke foto IH dan BBM. Jadi, seandainya ada foto IH di BBM, ada 3 kemungkinan. Pertama, orang yang mengunggah foto tersebut hanya sekedar berbagi foto karena menyukainya. Kedua, orang tersebut menjual kembali produk IH via BBM . Ketiga, seandainya orang yang mengunggah foto IH di BBM menawarkan produk pada foto dengan sistem preorder, itu bukan Imero Hemo dan IH tidak bertanggungjawab untuk itu, karena IH hanya bertransaksi via Fanpage Facebook dan hanya transaksi via inbox yang dilayani. Seandainya pun ada yang memotong foto milik IH, mengakui sebagai hasil karya mereka, dan menawarkan produk tersebut, serta ketika pembeli protes karena hasilnya berbeda maka saya atas nama Imero Hemo tidak bertanggungjawab untuk hal tersebut.

Oh ya, satu hal lagi. Kemarin saya membaca sebuah manga. Di manga tersebut ada seorang tokoh pelukis yang setiap kali mempublikasikan karyanya, walaupun sengaja tanpa nama, orang-orang dari masa lalunya tetap mengenali dan mengetahui bahwa karya itu adalah milik si pelukis. Nah lho! Hebat sekali pelukis ini! Dia tidak perlu mempublikasikan namanya tapi orang-orang tahu bahwa karya itu adalah miliknya. Ini menjadi pelajaran bagi saya dan mendorong saya untuk memberikan ciri khas pada setiap karya saya. Yosh, semangat!!! ^o^

Gamble Behind A Picture

Yes, I'm gambling with this picture of mine. Gamble of many things actually. But don;t worry, all of it aren't big gamble, just gamble with myself. This Sunflower Brooch is my newest work. Oh yeah, the doodle behind was my work too.

Let see, will I win this gamble or not. ^o^

Tutorial Bunga Kain Spiral

Hello, selamat Sabtu pagi!!! ^o^

Pagi ini saya mau mengupload tutorial cara membuat salah satu bunga kain kesukaan mama saya. Sebenarnya mama cuma suka melihat tapi tidak pernah memakainya, karena memang bunga kain ini tidak sesuai dengan gaya berpakaian beliau. Mungkin di luar sana sudah ada tutorial serupa, tapi saya tidak tahu kata kuncinya jadi tidak tahu apa sebutan orang lain untuk bunga kain ini, tapi saya sendiri menyebutnya “Spiral Flower”.

Yosh, silakan disimak!

1.      Siapkan bahan seperti kain yang sudah dipotong persegi, lem tembak, jarum, benang, kain felt yang telah digunting bulat, dan hiasan. Jika ingin menambahkan renda, rajutan, beads, atau yang lainnya sebagai hiasan tambahan, ya silakan ^o^

Kain yang saya gunakan di sini adalah kain kaos dan ukurannya adalah 3cm. Jika menggunakan 3 warna, maka masing-masing warna harus ada 12 potong kain. Sedangkan jika memakai 2 warna seperti yang saya contohkan ini, masing-masing harus ada 18 warna. Sedangkan untuk ukuran lingkaran felt saya lupa karena saya sudah punya cetakannya jadi saya hanya perlu menggunting. Tapi perkirakan saja sebesar apa Anda ingin membuatnya.

2.      Lipat kain menjadi segitiga.

A few days ago I went to Craft Shop and bought some fabrics.

So,this is it. I think I will make more like this so I can put it on Imero Hemo, but this one is mine! Hehehe

Ah, I just want to post this picture here. This is my newest Summer Candy Plum Blossom from Crazy Rainbow Series. I improve my skill to make this so it cuter than previous one. I make this because one of my costumer asked for it.

This is also a request from my other costumer. I make it from satin fabric. But I do not send it yet because I do not complete her request yet (she asked for 12 and I just finish 4 of it).

Alright, I do not have much time. So, see you next time!

Ah yeah, I do something lately, please pray for me so I can success doing this thing! Thank you so much! ^o^

Have Fun and Craft On!

Happy Sunday, everyone! ^o^

Yesterday, when I was home, after I went to craft shop to bought some craft stuff, my friend sent a LINE chat to me. She asked me to accompany her to craft shop to buy yarn. She want make something with Broomstick pattern. She very excited after I sent her some photos about how I learn to crochet, learn broomstick, a book of crochet, etc. Yeah, I bought a hakken or hakpen (crochet needle) some weeks ago without knowing how to crochet. That friend of mine, her name is Martha, is know how to do crochet. She interested with cotton yarn that I used. I use three colours cotton yarn. So she also wants buy same kind of yarn. So, we went to a craft shop at Banjarbaru. There are lots of cute colours of cotton yarn, like warm ivory and yellow, soft orange and orange, deep green and olive, baby pink and pink, white and brown. I like those colours combination, but Martha doesn’t want it. She looking for a three colours cotton yarn. Fortunately, she got one, the last one actually. It’s colours are very similar to mine (the yarn that I used when I learn how to do crochet). She also bought other yarn and a new needle. But, she didn’t satisfied. Then we went to another craft shop at Martapura. She bought felts, beads, pins, etc. The last destination was my home. She want to read my crochet book and make something (actually she also wants to make a necklace from beads and glass). After we’re in my home, she sent messages via BBM to my other friend who’re pregnant for 4 months, Erika, to invited her to join us doing craft.

I think Erika has baby boy because she doesn’t want to put make up on her face. Usually, she will not go out without manage her eyebrow (because she is already married). Unfortunately, Erika go home earlier because she was pick up by her husband.

But before that, I show them my needle book (I wrote about this weeks ago). They want it too. I said I will help them to make it, just choose which colours of felt that they want. Of course Martha choose yellow (her favorite colour), and olive (my suggestion). Erika choose red and dark green almost black felt. I help them to sew the needle book, Martha makes flowers and leaves, and Erika take a rest because of her pregnancy. Unfortunately, Erika’s husband came before we finish the needle book. So, Martha is the one who  bring it to her home last night, of course after we finished it.

This is Martha with her creation.

It was so fun! Crafting with friends is really fun! ^o^

Bellflowers and Sweet Blossoms Brooches

Good Morning, everyone!!! ^o^

Finally, I write over here again after a week. No, I’m not busy, just my notebook used by my little brother. Hehehe… :p

Alright, I have some new cute brooches for my online shop. When I doing the albums there, I checked which ones of my products that still available and sold out. I look a photo of a bellflowers brooches with soft colours (baby blue, pink, and tosca). But unfortunately, that brooches already sold out, so I think why not I make it again? Then, I make some new bellflowers brooches. I make some differences between the old one and the new one. I still use 3 different colours for each flower in a brooch. I put some gold beads below to add some glamour effect.

I also make other cute brooches. This is similar to my previous brooch that I called as Winter Breeze Blossom. I like that brooch, so I think why not I make in different colours? This time I use pink, white, ivory, and khaki. I love the result, what about you?

They’re available on my online shop, just looking for keyword Imero Hemo or press the logo on this blog, you can directly go to my online shop.

Alright, I need to do something. So, see you in next project! ^o^

Sweet Brooches

Hello, good morning, everyone!!! ^o^

Today I will write about my latest brooches. Actually I make those about a week ago, but do not have opportunity to write about it here.

You know, I’m not fan of blue (colour), so I seldom make fabric flower with blue fabric. I also do not have much of blue fabric. But, when I make a blue one, it sold quicker than other colours. Then, I though, why not I make a big brooch with this colour. Beside blue, I also use white. I called it as “Winter Breeze Blossom” because this fabric brooch has cold colours (white and blue). Yeah, eventhough I do not like blue, but I must say this brooch is very pretty.

I also make other fabric brooches, but it smaller than “Winter Breeze Blossom”. I use gold beads here so it look glamour.

If you interested with my fabric brooches, you can visit me on my fanpage “Imero Hemo”. Alright, see you next time! ^o^

Fabric Flower Brooches

Hello, good afternoon everyone!!! Yeah, it’s rare for me to write at afternoon. Hehehe :p

Alright, today I finshing my newest fabric flower brooches. Look at them! I just playing around on pinterest yesterday and found a DIY how to make this kind of petal. The kind of petal that usually used by kanzashi artisan/crafter as leaves with Morning Glory flower or Asagao. I was curious and want to try it because I never make it. And it works! I like it. But I do not make it as leaves but as flower petals. I make it in 6 different colours. It available at my online shop.

Alright, see you in next project! ^_^

Needle Book

Good evening, everyone!

Finally, I made it! Actually I need this needle book since long ago but just this time I can make it. I make it from felt. Alright, needle book that I made not for my needles. Yeah, you’re not wrong while reading my previous sentence. I do not use my needle book for my needles, but for my pins.

Like I wrote before, I need this needle book since long time ago, especially when I do traveling. I use hijab when I go out and I need some small pins to make my hijab so it looks good. So, when I have sleep over or traveling and take off my hijab (when I want to Shalat or sleep), I need place to put my small pins. Of course, sometimes I lost my small pins, so I need backup. I also need some hair rubbers as backup if I lost my hair tie. So, in this needle book, I make a pocket to put my hair rubbers.

In the end, I make this needle book suitable for my needs.

Yeah, I’m ready to go out! See you next time! ^o^

Eid Mubarak!!!

Eid Mubarak, everyone!!! ^o^

Without we realize, Ramadhan will leave us soon and if we’re lucky enough, we’ll meet it next year. Amin!

Alright, actually it not Ied Day yet, but let me say “Selamat Idul Fitri, mohon maaf lahir dan batin”. Please, forgive all my mistakes. J

Learning Tsumami Zaiku

Yay, finally I make it! ^o^

Well, hello, good dawn (because its not morning yet, hehehe). Okay, this dawn while I waiting for Praying Subuh, I will write about my latest craft project. I was learning how to make tusmami zaiku or kanzashi. I’ve bought a book about tsumami kanzashi. The seller told me that the title of that book was Tsumami Zaiku but on internet it says Kanzashi and Modern Corsage. I don’t know which one is right since I don’t understand Japanese. Yeah, I bought an import book. It’s rather expensive for me but it worth it. The book is very beautiful.

I learn the simple one. Even for the simple one, I did lots of mistakes (trial and error) until I make the good one (I think its good enough). Its really tiring and need so much glue but I am happy doing this. The result is very pretty and small. The small size make it cute. But yeah, I could make it very small like the book. On the book, the smallest size is 1cm x 1 cm, and the smallest that I can do is 2cm x 2cm on certain fabric. I use soft shirt fabric. I didn’t make it with chirimen yet because that beautiful fabric is still expensive for me. Hope one day I can buy it. hehehe… ^o^

Oh yeah, I make 12 colours of that simple kanzashi. You can check it on my Online Shop : Imero Hemo on fanpage facebook.

Alright, I need to go. See you next time! ^o^
