Two Pisces Girls

This is an order made by the daughter of one of the Christmas keychains recipient. She told me that her mum likes the keychain very much and she would like to order two horoscope keychains from me. How sweet of her!

One Pisces girl in blue...

And the other in purple :)

Hello Kitty Cake

When I just received this order, I was in dilemma. Should I or should I not? If you have been following my clay stuff from the very beginning, you'll realize that I rarely do cartoon characters. I will avoid as much as I can. It's not that I don't like cartoon characters. It's just that it's so difficult to make it 100% alike.

I tried to look for ideas on the Internet. The more I looked, the more reluctant I was. Oh, no... How can I avoid doing the cat's face but still people will know it's Hello Kitty? Not possible... Hmmm...

Merry Christmas!

I made the 3rd Christmas keychain today :)

And it's a Christmas tree...

They are ready to be delivered to customer tomorrow :D

Goodbye, Florence!

Florence, a good friend of mine, will be leaving KK soon. She is going back to a place where she can find great Indian food. Kekeke~ 

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle All the Way!

I am not a Christian but I love the atmosphere of Christmas a lot. It's always full of beautiful and glittery decorations. Everything and anything looks awesome in red and green. These are keychains but I am waiting the clay to get fully dried off before I put them to the key ring. I just can't wait to post the pics! Haha.

Sweet Sweet Love

Lace Curtains Added

And the saga continues... Got my lace curtains ready and it's time to tie them up!

Still Working On It

 

It has been some time since I last updated my blog. Haha. Ya, I am still working on my mini cake house, slowly.

Busy with lace... I am trying to add lace curtains to my mini cake house.

Pink & Purple Cuppies

After thinking for some time, I decided to fix the theme colours of my mini cake house as pink and purple.

Putting the cuppies onto the shelves now! Yes, I know the last shelf hasn't been filled up yet. I am gonna fill it up with something else.

Finally some colours in the cake house :)

More Cabinets

Another 2 smaller cabinets are completed today.

I have also raised the platform of the cake house.

Now I can start baking... :p

Mini Cabinet - Version 2.0

Ever since I made my first wooden shelves with the wood plaques I bought from Daiso, friends keep telling me that it needs to be smoothened by using sand papers. Well, not that I don't know but I just wanted to keep it "raw" as I am thinking to make something else to replace it. 

I had things playing in my mind but I wasn't sure if it's going to work. I made a draft of a cabinet and started doing it over the weekend.

Experimenting With Something Different

I am thinking of a way to refine/improve them. Hmmm...

Will be back after doing some research.

Work in Progress

Today is a gloomy day but I continue to "bake" aggressively. Haha.

What I Have Been Doing...

This is what I have been doing lately. I am going to have my own cake house soon! A mini one, I mean. Haha.

Keychains

After accepting this order, then only I know that they are called Kiki Lala. Not that I have never seen them before but I just didn't know their names :D

The pink one is called Lala.

 

The blue one is called Kiki.

And this is Snoopy. Haha.

The Fruity Miniature Set

This is a miniature set ordered by a daughter for her mum's coming birthday. As per the customers, her mum likes anything fruity hence this miniature set is born :)

The End or The Beginning?

The end of one journey is the beginning of another. Just relax, enjoy and be ready for a another journey :)

Gin's Minion Comic - The Revenge

Red Indian Minion: Cheese cake!!!

Baby Minion: I love love love cheese cake!!!

Gin's Minion Comic - I Love Donuts

Maid Minion - Donuts, donuts, I love donuts! Let me go make some tea to go along with my donuts!

Babababa Babanana...

Everyone is crazily in love with the minions, including me! Among the minions, I love the maid minion the most, hence I decided to make one for myself :)

Who left the pancakes here?! Hmmm... Shall I or shall I not?!

*munch munch munch munch*

Keychain Holder for a Hair Salon

Honestly, I am very worried every time a customer says he/she wants me to custom-make something for their male friend. In my opinion, guys rarely like cute or colourful things. When I was told that the owner of the hair salon is a male, I was like in a dead end. I have been struggling for quite some time to think of the right design and colours. At the end, I decided to keep everything minimal and simple.

Good Luck Keychain

This is a keychain that I made for a friend some time ago. When I just graduated from uni, I joined an international audit firm and met Lee. One month later, I quit because another international audit firm offered me higher pay. So many years later, both of us no longer work in audit firms and when we met again, it was in my current company. She is leaving for a better future and I am there to replace her. Haha. How funny, huh? I told Lee that it's not easy for 2 persons to be colleagues twice in a life time although the period is short (less than 1 month every time). Before she left the company, I gave her this keychain to wish her good luck in her future undertakings.

Coral Reef in Wooden Frame

I haven't touched my clay for the longest time! I don't mean to abandon my blog but having to work during the day time makes me lazy in the evening. Haha. I planned to make a series of them and hang them at my office but I think it will take me forever to progress as I have been caught up with work and Chinese Dumpling Festival is around the corner... I have so many things to do/plan.

I feel so sorry for my blog and FB page hence I made this - coral reef in wooden frame.

The close-up - Nothing too fancy... For the first time, I always prefer to do something easier.

The Grand Opening of Gin's Mini Pancake House

After resting for 9 months, I will start working on next Monday. Gosh... I can't believe that I have rested for 9 months! It seems like I have just resigned from my previous job yesterday! Am I ready to get back to work? Yes... I am more than ready but before I start working, I thought I would like to start a new project. Since my new job requires me to work on Saturdays, I'd better do something easier such as mini pancakes :)

I love pancakes so much, be it the sweet ones or the savoury ones. Who can say no to a plate of fluffy pancakes?

Mini Plants in Wooden Frame

As I mentioned in my previous post, I will be going back to the corporate world soon. I will be having my own room at my new workplace but one thing I don't like about the room is that it doesn't have a window that I can see what's happening outside the building. So I thought I wanted to make something more "refreshing" for my new work office.

Owl Keychain & Keychain/Necklace Holder

I don't have much updates lately. I have been busy with many things. Gosh... Most importantly, I have been busy with preparing myself for a new start. I will be going back to the corporate world in mid May after a long rest. What will happen to my mini workshop? I will still be accepting orders but I may not be able to accept urgent orders anymore. 

Below are the items that I made for customers recently:

Owl keychain

Friends - The Family You Get to Choose

Florence PM-ed me the other day and told me she would like to order a miniature set for a special friend. She said she wished to include a short message on top of the casing: Friends - The Family You Get to Choose. That's really a very meaningful message. 

Florence's friend likes pink and purple hence that's the theme colours for the miniature set :)

Colourful Spring-Summer Wedding Theme

After the previous wedding themed miniature set, my cousin ordered another miniature set for another friend who is going to get married soon. 

This time, we decided to make a very colourful spring-summer theme.
