Happy New Year !

2012-01-01T17:00:00.003+08:00

Happy New Year everyone!

I've been spending my whole new year's eve to update all my artworks since my long silence. There are some more, but maybe i can update them later. Besides, i think these are enough actually ;)

So, thank you, thank you, thank you so much for all bloggers who never missed to leave comments and support me; to facebook's fan as well; and not to forget to all my precious craft friends and customers.

Throughout this year, i know i had made some customers unhappy, and i have to reject many many orders. Plus, i never reply to comments anymore in both blog and facebook. So, i would also like to say sorry for all my weakness and shortcomings.

Anyhow, i am looking forward to continue this year with wedding guestbook as my main project; same as last year. But, perhaps i'll make some cards and small handbound books as well if i had time.

I'll announce my availability along with new design for this year by 15th Jan 2012.

'Till i write again, i wish for this year to be better for me, Simple Rhyme and for all of you.

Keep on crafting everyone! ♥

Special Entry: {Tutorial} SR's Royal Flower

2011-06-18T16:21:00.008+08:00

since there's a lot of request on how to do this new pattern of flower,

so here it is the special entry of tutorial on how to make SR's Royal Flower
{thanks to Amna and EQG members who named this flower :)}

basically, it is a husking flower as picture below

so, for the first step, prepare 5 husking petals which you may find the tutorial made by Claire;

one of my favorite quillers at here {video tutorial} or here {picture tutorial}.

and of course a tight coil for its centerpiece.

you may also replace the centerpiece with pompom flower, beads

or anything depends on you creativity and preferences.

skip the last part of Claire's tutorial {i.e. gluing all the petals together};

and the next step, slip the slotted tool into each of the loops inside the husking petal {as picture above}...

and roll it down.

you may roll it clockwise or counterclockwise, but make sure that it is symmetrical;

{means if the first left loop is rolled clockwise, so the first right loop must be counterclockwise and so on}.

repeat the same steps for all 5 petals.

lastly, combine and paste the petals together as well as it's centerpiece.

and there you go, royal flower ready to be pasted on your card !

or perhaps you can make it as pendant or earrings ;)

*since this is my first time making tutorial, and i have no other hands to help me capturing the picture while rolling the loop, i hope the explanation and pictures are clear and understandable.

enjoy making the flower,

happy weekend everyone! :)

Couple Bookmarks {Part I}

2011-05-17T13:07:00.004+08:00

honestly, to make a symmetrical design blindly without using any technology

or at least making some coordinates is a new challenge for me.

this one out of two sets are the couple bookmarks that designed in symmetrical

which i just guess the coordinates using my craft intuition :P heheh.

not really perfect, but i'm satisfied :)

part II is coming soon..

sometimes, i love people who come with their own idea,

but usually i felt more appreciated with those who trust my creativity in this field

i apply the tight coil to be the decoration of the sentiment

and found a new pattern for quilling gift {yeay!}

a simple yet cheerful birthday card, for someone she love ! ;)

footnote: i think this is the first non-flower-ish card i've made this year :P isn't it {again} a sweet escape? ^^
