I Love Beading

I bought a 3D animal beadwork book 2 weeks ago. For that reason, i loved to bead 3D animal recently. Here is the latest animal that i did, Hammi. The name was given by one of my favourite beader, TheLoneBeader. Hammi is a Loving Mouse, don’t you see he is carrying a piece of love shape crystal?

I would like to bead a series of animals collection, especially the 12 Chinese Zodiac. So far, i only beaded Monkey, Dog, Pig and rat.

[reference: Wikipedia] Being the first sign of the Chinese zodiac, rats are leaders, pioneers and conquerors. They are charming, passionate, charismatic, practical and hardworking. Rat people are endowed with great leadership skills and are perhaps the most organized and systematic of the twelve signs. Intelligent and cunning at the same time, rats are highly ambitious and strong-willed people who are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas, which often include money and power. They are energetic and versatile and can usually find their way around obstacles, and adapt to various environments easily. A rat’s natural charm and sharp demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone, but rats are usually highly exclusive and selective when choosing friends and so often have only a few very close friends whom they trust.

Sorry for unable to update my blog for the past few days. It were busy and exciting days. Hooray, after one and half year of waiting, my condomimium is ready for occupancy. I went to my future home to check every single corner just to make sure that no parts of the facilities were left out and the finishing is in good conditions. Luckily, there are only 2 minor complaints: The lock of the sliding door is faulty and one piece of wall tiles is broken.

I’ve heard of bloggers discuss about the Digg.com. For those who is non-IT savvy (like me), here is the definition of Digg.com:

What is Digg?

Digg is a user driven social content website. Ok, so what the heck does that mean? Well, everything on Digg is submitted by our community (that would be you). After you submit content, other people read your submission and Digg what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of visitors to see.

What can you do as a Digg user? Lots. Every person can digg (help promote), bury (help remove spam), and comment on stories… you can even Digg and bury comments you like or dislike. Digg also allows you to track your friends’ activity throughout the site - want to share a video or news story with a friend? Digg it!

Due to my curiosity, i typed the url www.digg.com.my in my browser and found this:

Wow, not sure if Digg.com will try to seek legal action towards Digg Malaysia. Good luck to Digg.com.my !

” Hi, my name is Doo Doo. I am a 2-year-old male Shih-Tzu. My birthday is 5th May. I am a dog of naughty and jealous character. I like Cesar and Egg Tart. I want to have many friends in the world. So please send me your pictures to my mum’s email… “

During the 2-year-old birthday celebration of Doo Doo, i made this Crystal Doggie for him. Does the Crystal Doggie looks like Doo Doo?

Image: Birthday present for my lovely Doo Doo

I snapped the picture of Doo Doo when he was at age 1. He looks tiring and thirsty after the chasing game with me. He is so cute ~~~!! I love him very much

Hmmm, it has been some time i didn’t create a colorful Earring. Whenever i’m running out of idea to create new design, i will spend some time ‘loitering’ around in shopping complex like Mid Valley to ’steal’ other people’s design

I named it as: Season Color Hope you all like it !
