<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Few of the items on my Project to-do list was a Sofa and an armchair. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">One weekend I finally got srated with the sofa, it took about 4 days.... as with anything in life, you probably never get it right the first time, but if you don't give up, you get better at it! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought the dollhouse also needed some soft furnishings, I couldn't make them so I had to buy them! As Miniatures are relatively niche in Malaysia so many collectors are still buying online and having them shipped. I looked around Ebay for many days, bidded on a few things, compared prices and managed to get a good deal from a very good seller! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the weekend, we went to the Grand Launch of the first Spotlight outlet in Malaysia. Being well known for Crafts and Home furnishing, we just had to go <em>(of course, all the e-mail and FB reminders played a part!). </em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So me & Ms. T set off to Ampang Point at 11-ish on Sat morning to Ampang Point to find a Full house parking! After mamanging to find a place to park, we thought ok, let's have Brunch first before we go check out Spotlight. To out horror, we came to the 2nd floor escalator to find a huge crowd barred from going up. The patient Nepalese Security Guard explained there is a huge queue on the 3rd floor queue-ing to get into the Store itself, creating a gridlock. Also to avoid chaos, Spotlight staff controlled the Crowd inflow by staggering batches of disgruntled custoers into their Store.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We finally got in after 40mins, and the massive crowds made it very difficult to browse the Store. Nevertheless, I spotted a small corner called 'Fabulous Findings' - everything in the box for RM 2.99! I got a whole stash of metal beads, best part they were further discounted with the VIP card! The felt cloth was also discounted to RM 2.24 per piece. All in all a good day! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I experimented a new design for the lampshade, it turned out ok and I'm pleased with the results! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The idea I had in mind was streaks of gold or silver streaks on a black fabric or inverse; white fabric with gold or shiny black streaks. So, at first the material I had in mind was thick embroidery threads but it just didn't have the shiny effect I wanted. Good thing I found the packet of shiny long beads I got from Chinatown. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I heard IKEA had a minature doll house furniture with miniature replicas of their Vago and Klippan sofa, I knew I HAD to get a set. I went once and they were all SOld Out! So on the next available shipment, I rushed to IKEA and bought 2 sets! HA HA! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here's an example of someone's Blog I found who decorated her dollhouse using the HUSET dollhouse set! Super cuteness my Gawd! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then dressing it up with beads and shiny leaf-shaped sequins I had bought at Masjid India. I had the perfect coloured linen, it was an old dress and seeing I could still fit into it, I didn't have the heart to cut into it. It suddenly felt like a sin to cut up a perfectly wearable dress! I must be going slightly mad. So instead I used the shiny Gold tulle I got from Klim's Craft because I thought the transparent fabric would make the light work better with a shiny factor. We'll see... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There it is... swinging gracefully on the little holder.... It's far from perfect but am just glad it's done. My first Miniature Chandelier Protoype. I was up until 3am last night accompanied by 2 mugs of coffee and 2 cans of Beer, hung the last teardrop dangly Crystal, had a good long look. Okay, I'm happy with it and I can allow myself to go bed! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Trying to solder on the curly wurly arms was tears-inducing. It was just not going to work, so back up plans was to do a ring around the arms to stabilized it. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I popped in Ampang Point yesterday while leaving my Ol' Girl for service, and did some material shopping! There is a Crafts, Ribbons and accessories Shop on the 2nd floor next to Popular called <strong>Klim Craft</strong>. I found the teardrop-shaped beads that I wanted for the Chandelier, they were a tad bit pricey but I didn't see the point of going all the way down to Masjid India to the wholesale place so I bought 2 different sizes, each were about RM 3.90. I was a bit shocked that they were selling simple beads (the exact ones I got from Jalan Sultan) for <strong>RM 4.50</strong> a packet!! I got my stash for RM 1 a packet. They were exactly the same beads! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The shop also had tulle, so I bought half a meter each of the shimmering ones to experiment. The price is ok; <strong>RM 4.80</strong> a meter. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I had also planned to take up Embroidery soon, I had been looking around for hoops and to think I almost bought an over-priced one from Art Friends, The Curve selling for RM 17.90! Good thing I remembered to pop by Daiso and Hallelujah! they sell Embroidery hoops too! Wahahaha! Don't you just love Daiso!? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Personally I prefer the curly shape of the blue-curly arms but it's very difficult to bend them without cracking a lot of the beads... </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I finally got round to start the Mini Chandelier project that I had been planning and sketching for some time. As usual, the idea always seems easy in the head but once in the midst of execution, "<em>Damn, this ain't gonna work"</em> is very often exclaimed while yanking hair... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I bought a cheap**s Soldering tool from Mr. DIY sometime back and was a bit intimidated to use it; the last I held one was probably 15 years ago. Then lastnight I decided, okay, I really need to fix some lights in the dollhouse. No more procrastinating! I realized the lights are delaying the dollhouse decoration; if I dont get the lights wired in, I'll never be able to put in all the cute small furniture I made/ bought. So, after almost an hour twisting the lampshade cover into shape, solder mess everywhere and even melted some parts of my extension cord, I called it a night and went to bed in a huff. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It took some time to find all the Right parts in various Hardware stores. I started with the outer lampshade to hide the batten holder. Also managed to find the perfect sized lightbulb! Are they cute or what!!? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I went to a Handmade/Craft Bazaar last weekend and saw some very pretty bronze charms for bracelets but they were selling each tiny piece for RM 2! I went home and couldn't stop thinking about them and how pretty they would look if incorporated into the dangly parts of my Chandelier! So yesterday, I went on a material hunt downtown by myself and walked from Petaling Street to Masjid India in search of the perfect bits. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Then I made the curly-wurly arms... All the painful effort and I thought this was the hardest part....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">They looked very simple and I had to dress them up, right? So I decided to match some coloured beads to find a nice combination. Stringing the beads through the thick wire was pure hell. I really thought putting the beads in should've been the easy part. There were a few bead casualty..... Off to the Hardware shop again tomorrow to get a slightly thinner wire <em>*whimper</em>* </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">And then they created Yeolume dolls, the future daughter of Pullip... As fate would have it, one Yeolume Podo was on sale and I didn't think twice! The delivery was super fast as I made the payment on Sunday morning and it was shipped out in the evening, I was pretty impressed! Sadly, I wasn't home on Monday to receive the parcel so by the time I rushed to the Poslaju Branch at 5.30pm I was told I could wait for the postman to come back by 7.30pm. I couldn't get to pick my Yeolume that day and had to wait till Wednesday thanks to the Public holiday. But still, such joy to unbox my first Doll! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I didn't quite like the original body as the joints were hard to bend for poses. I had bought an Obitsu 27cm body for some time so I got busy and took apart my Yeolume. Removing her wig was the most difficult part of the process but her neck is still kinda loose. But definately looks better on a 27cm Obitsu body!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got really busy after her arrival! Most of the Projects had been left aside as there was no real motivation without a muse... haha... So I finally got cracking and started putting up the wallpapers to the cheap Tesco shelf I bought few months ago and getting the bed ready! I also finished matching comforters and pink pillows</span>!</span></span> </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I bought some scrap fabric some time back from a nearby Textile shop to do some test runs, knowing I most likely will screw it up the first few tries...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Oddly enough, I kinda enjoy sewing. Hand-sewing. I do find it therapeutic as it reminds me of my late Grandma. She sewed all kinds of things and had a pretty beat-up plastic box where she keeps all her sewing stuff. With her failing eyesight, she always had trouble putting the thread through the needle and that was primarily my job... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My friend, Ms. T said anyone can use a Sewing machine, but true skill is in the hand-stitiching kungfu. I had previously put the kimono Project on hold as I cringed at my own hand stitches! It was so untidy! Nevertheless, I had the ideas for a mini armchair and set about sewing the cushions. At first I just couldnt get the seams right.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Well, with Youtube & Google being my Teacher, I googled on the few common hand-stitching styles and gave the Blind ladder stitch a go. I couldn't get it at first, but with me, there is no giving up! I tried again on the mini bed and was glad it turned out neat! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After sketching the idea for the Lampshade, in my mind, it seemed easy to bend wires to form a rectangular box, and I spent two late nights trying to figure out how to make it as neat as possible in a single strip of wire. It is far from perfect....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Few weeks ago I thought ok let's try to make some Cold Porcelain at home. Ingredients are simple and you might already have all this at home...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><em><strong>1 cup Cornstarch preferably or cornflour</strong></em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><em><strong>1 cup PVA glue</strong></em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><em><strong>1 big spoon distilled vinegar</strong></em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><em><strong>1 big spoon Baby oil, olive oil or mineral oil</strong></em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><em><strong>Lotion on standby</strong></em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">All the websites online really made it sound easy, there were only about 2 or 3 sites that were honest and said its not easy to make! You either undercook or over cook and the whole blob becomes useless. You can cook it over your stove or microwave. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Two disastrous batches later, I think I finally got the third batch about right! I recommend watching videos on Youtube to see the consistency when it's just cooked to get a better idea. There will be try and errors but here are some important steps:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">1- Mix all the ingredients in a pan not used for consumption. PVA glue goes in first, followed by vinegar & Oil, then add cornstarch little by little and stir until nicely mixed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><u>Stove method:</u></strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Heat stove at low heat, keep mixing for like 30secs to 1 minute then remove from heat. If it's still watery put it back on the stove for another 30secs. Once its done the lump wont stick to the pot. Take out and start kneading until smooth!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><u>Microwave method:</u></strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Mix everything together in microwave-safe bowl, make sure no lumps. Put in microwave for 15secs, take out and mix thoroughly. Repeat again for 15secs or until mixture forms a small ball.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Do wrap your porcelain clay in cling film or zip lock bag and put it in a jar. I have tried first 2 batches with lime juice as some recipes suggest lemon or lime juice as preservatives but sadly, mine has turned like this in 5 days.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The<strong> lotion</strong> is actually to spread your work surface when you knead the clay ball. It will be quite sticky, I actually did panic a little, don't worry dust your hands with cornflour and it will get smoother and easier to handle. Also spread the lotion on the cling film before you wrap so it doesnt stick on the cling film! Leave it fo rest for 24 hours before working with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So... what do you guys think? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have gone a little stir crazy buying beads and walking the streets of Jalan Sultan, flitting from store to store getting ideas.... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Talk about ideas.... my head hurts and at times it goes into overdrive like a hyper Hamster running on a wheel when I get ideas I have to quickly sketch or write it down! Then I will try and think of how to 'build' the prototype and get frustrated when I hit a brickwall with the technical aspect. The only handy work experience I got was the 1 year learning 'Kemahiran Hidup' in Form 3 doing soldering and wood work. I am still trying to find a sort of Vocational School and take some Courses on Basic Electric wiring, Woodwork and things like that. Friends did suggest things like Professional Papers etc, but end of the day I know I don't want to be working in a Corporate Office so I want to learn things I am interested in and will come in handy! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I'm sure i had been a Carpenter at least once in one of my past lives.... hehe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Just a tip to share, don't be shy to get your materials from a Charity Shop or Flea market! </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Not only are you contributing for a good cause, you are indirectly recycling and giving</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> the pre-loved </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">item a new lease of life! I bought some tops which were filled with sequins, I thought "heck, thats a lot of sequins in there!", brought it home and I sat on my little station and stripped all the little fellas out and ended up with a compartment full of beads! </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: left;">
I<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> had no idea and had never strung beads before, so it was a lot of trial and error. Once, I strung and strung and strung for 2 hours and wasn't happy with what I saw, I cut the whole thing apart and started all over again. I had coffee with an Old friend yesterday and shared my experience and was glad that Ms.T said "<em>There is no right or wrong way to string beads. Do as you like</em>! " </span></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not stringing beads for fashion jewellery or any of that sort! Haha! I know no one would buy my Jewellery creations! Hopefully the idea turns out well and I can show you the prototype soon! </span></div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I had stumbled upon the world of BJD (Ball-joint dolls) some time ago... </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">After much surfing until my eyes turned sore, I realized ain't no way I could afford one from companies like Dolfie or Iplehouse & etc where the price for an average doll is about RM 3,000, so I did found the cheaper option that many Forums recommend getting a beginner's doll - Obitsu Body. They usually come headless and you can attach any head from other companies that you want. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">.... and I did find another company that produces realistic heads resembling famous Celebrities and they are always Sold Out and you have to pre-order! I contacted a company in Singapore and got mine in couple of week's time. </span></div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Freakishly expensive but adorable Byul, Dal & Pullip Yeolume Dolls from Korea..... soon, soon... Let me close a few more deals and I will treat myself to a Doll.... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For some reason I can't find the pic of my Obitsu body so I borrowed this one from another Blog... The wonders of the current Toy-making Industry! The company, Obitsu makes them in various sizes, 12cm, 27cm, 45cm and even large 60cm doll bodies! </span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the problem I have been facing is attaching the neck peg onto this Obitsu body, there are only a few tutorials online and it does require some sawing and elbow grease. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Still, hoping to get a free day this week to get cracking.... Have a good weekend folks!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do apologize for the long absence.... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rollercoaster is putting it mildly of what has happened in the past few months. I quit my job as I was left with no choice but to leave. I decided the BS isn't going to end and I can no longer work carrying out stupid tasks from 'Bullies'. As scary as it looked, I decided to grit my teeth and take the road less travelled. It has been just a week since my release and I couldn't be happier and waking up in the mornings has been filled with gladness in heart. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't given up at all on my crazy ideas for the Doll Lifestyle Project and during this whole week since my Freedom days started, I've even put up my Idea Board on one of those free nights, organized my little Workstation (<em>my current dining table, which means more TV dinners! Yay!),</em> picked up some new skills over Youtube, sketched my prototype ideas, sourcing for materials, attended an E-commerce class and meeting clients in between. It's a bit crazy ....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hello there!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Just started this other Blog recently as a new creative outlet! Been feeling restless and dying for a new Hobby so everything comes at the right timing...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I had bought a big sketch pad, colour pencils, and sorts but stored them away for some time. By the time I took the box of colouring pencils out to colour, it just wouldn't colour! I mean I scraped and scraped, but no colour came out! I was baffled and upset if I had to chuck the brand new box of 48pcs out. So I had them sharpened down and thank goodness, all is well now! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I remember when I was a kid up till my late teens I just drew and drew everyday. Then I just stopped. Hadn't drawn/sketched anything in possibly 10 years. I don't even know why I've started drawing again. My hands are rusty and drawings chidlike, do forgive me ! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Kitsune, a nine-tailed fox in Japanese, Korean and Chinese Folklore has always been one my objects of fascination. I think period Drama's are to blame for this as growing watching stories of how a hunted white fox's life is spared and it comes back in the form of a beguilling, ethereal Beauty and returns the deed....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Been picking up lots of cheap clothes/fabric from boutique clearance sales and Charity Shops to start off my Doll Fashion Project. Status quo, my Obitsu Doll body is on its way from Hong KOng while her Kumik head from Singapore. Pretty excited as something new to look forward to! </span></div>
