pink poppies band

Hasil prakarya lebaran kmarin demi Sasa,.. sebenernya udah bikin lama, tapi seperti biasa, technical block saat assembling dan baru bisa mengatasi demi ponakan yg datang dari jauhh ^.^

Lagipula berhasil membuat Sasa tenang dan tak merebut kamera saat difoto dengan sogokkan kue hhihihiii...



senang dan puas sekali dengan hasilnyaaaa,..

kreasi kalung baru

made this a while ago,.. its the same with this prototipe actually,.. but i've improve my technique,.. so its more sturdy now,.. rope and chain are tighter and stick to its place.. yayy!! me!! hehehee..




my brother's girlfriend in the spirit of suporting my creativity,..ask me to made a necklace for her,.. so i gave this one to her... hope she likes it, amiin.



i also made this one, inspired by tassel, i've been crazy bout tassel lately. it always add a nice little drama whenever its added.. but this necklace still seems to be begging for more drama,.. wonder what i could add to make it richer, maybe a rock ot two, or a big bold bow... hmnn..



then i could wear it in public and say proudly,.. i've made it myself :D bliss

I need to brand me!

Designers! Take time to read this great article from etsy. its about the urgency to sign your work whatever it may be. a label. a birth certificate of your art. and it should always be able to be trace back to you.

So i pledge, i will not let my pieces be orphans! they should always be able to give a clear direction to their maker: Me. No matter how itsy bitsy that piece may seem. even if its just a bangles for my nieces. it would be branded as mine!

i just have to find a birth-certificate that suits my items,.. hmmnnn let me think.. think..

much love,

Cherrious

a custom baby bandana for rikari photography


sorry for the image quality, i took it with my phone camera :p
the headband was with me for a few weeks and i was going to make a super fun photo shoot of it with my super-cute niece Lala, who is going to be 4 this august, as a model..


can you imagine how cute that picture would be,..
but while waiting for her to come from the far-far-away-land of gresik, headband sold and gone,.. oo well, money made, so that pleases me wallet :p

Ps: i'm still seriously thinking to just go ahead make that photo shoot by reproducing the headband...

compulsive hoarding

there's a specific term for my tendency,.. its compulsive hoarding.

i heard it this morning on hardrock-fm, the local radio. it means i compulsively collect mundane used and useless object everyday..

Really. I got it from my father who is a cancer, and it is written in his stars that he will collect useless things for keepsake and later use. and i am, being a cancer myself, compulsive hoarding was in my stars. and my gene.

The urge to not throw things away was to strong for me to fight.. i just kept thinking i would use it in some kind of craft, or it might be useful someday,..
but with the time i can spare, it never really made it to craft phase.... and i can never throw them away,. it would be such a waste and that would break my heart...

do any of you crafter, feel my pain?

Bando

i made these a while ago,.. but never really make the time to post it,.. i was actually wanting to make a mukenah for myself, in soft yellow. so i bought 5 meter fabric, but only use 4. and decided to try to make flowers out of it..



for a flower pin..



and bandos for my unbelievably cute nieces, who live in far-far-away land of gresik, i made two headbands, one for my 7 YO niece and another for the little one, i just love dressing them, they're like the cutest living doll ever



cant wait to give these to them :)

my other passion

i dedicated this blog for my other passion,.. which is: to make things. what things? oo i dunno, it could be anything, it could be any cutesy from a simple bangles, which i make dozens of, to a laundry bin that i cant seem to finish.. why oo why?..

anyway i make a name for this random thoughts and effort to make things.. i'm caling it curlymind :p heheee,.. and yes, my thoughts tangles..
and as designer i try to make a logo for curlymind.. tadaaa..



i've made my header by cropping this logo,.. is this brandwise?? i dunno.. i just like it, and its nice to have done something that is just for the fun of it though not soo wise. which is the whole point of the blog,.. making things wise or unwise just for the sake of making it

oo im gonna have lots of fun!
